This post is for leaving crit and comments or asking questions!

Bert's post with the most basics is Here but that's not all of them.

Dinh: Means lord and father and a few other things but Alain is likely to use it most often to refer to Roland as the leader of his Ka-tet.

Ka-shume: the breaking of a ka-tet, usually by death. Also, the feeling that proceeds it.

The White: basically, the power/side behind good guys. In Mid-World gunslingers are servants and defenders of The White.

Gilly: A mistress, usually socially sanctioned but a mistress all the same. In an insult pretty much means whore.

The three questions: When people want a Gunslinger's help in an "official" capacity they need to answer three questions, as follows: (wording can vary a bit)
"While we bide, will you open to us if we open to you?" (Are they welcome)
"Do you see us for what we are and accept what we do?" (ie accept they're killers, men of the gun)
"Do you ask for aid and succor?" (this is the most important. do the people want to be helped)

That's all for right now, to be added to as I think of things!

... Alain blew past 1000 comments fast. Wow.

Relationship meme time! You know the drill :Db

I play Harper, Doyle, Kintaros, Taiga, Retsu, Zanki, Senri, Alain. Tell me who you play or better yet the relationships I should hunt down :D Go!

Name: Alain Johns
Age: 15-16ish
Height: 5’11’’
Weight: 188 lb
Eyes: blue
Hair: blond

Medical info: Very physically fit and healthy. Nothing really of note.

Physical traits: Round faced, stocky, and broad shouldered. He has a scar on his left cheek from a bullet. He's probably almost always wearing a pair of very big revolvers low on his hips. They are nice guns, heavy and impressive.

What's okay to mention: He’s from shortly after becoming a gunslinger so I’d prefer spoiling him to his future be left to Roland, if at all. He probably won’t take well to being called fictional either. Anything else is fine.

Notes for the psychics: Alain will know you are there and probably try hard to kick you out (see abilities) but his thoughts are quiet and deep. He’ll be thinking about Roland a lot and home and may or may not be experiencing a premonition or (mostly) accidentally coming in contact with other people’s thoughts. He’s a gunslinger and capable of being very cold and clinical but mostly he’s just calm and paying attention to the world around him.

Abilities: Alain is a trained gunslinger so he’s very skilled with a variety of weapons but especially a set of large pistols his trade is known for. He has nearly superhuman aim and speed while shooting them. He also is the best of his group at trailcraft and probably at least on par with anyone else in camp who’s trained as a tracker.

Lastly Alain is strong in ‘the touch’ which means he’s mildly psychic, mostly with telepathy. He can reach out and read others’ minds if he tries (to varying success) and can also pinpoint people from a distance with it. He’s not trained in the use of it so it comes and goes and he might accidentally get flashes from people he’s near. The touch also makes him extremely skilled with hypnosis, both giving it and working past hypnotic commands from others. He also is somewhat clairvoyant and can get premonitions of both future events (rarely) and events happening in other places. The premonitions sometimes come as dreams. He can also sense magical objects sometimes.

Shape-shifting/bodyswap/step on/spit on/etc.: Contact me to work out details for the first two but yes on all three!

Hugging/kissing/other non-violent contact: Hugging and stuff is welcome though Alain will probably be awkward about it. Kissing will make him really awkward but he won’t say no if it’s a girl.

Fighting: Of course! Alain is a gunslinger and built for fighting but he’ll fight back with deadly force if attacked.

Killing/maiming: Injuries are fine but talk to me first if it gets close to killing.

Cooking: three boys living on their own for most of a year... there’s a good chance one of them eventually picked up a tiny bit more than basic survival cooking. I’d put my bets on Alain being that one but he’s not great at it and only knows the basics.
