Hey everyone! I’m having a bit of trouble with the editing function on the original post so I figure I’ll just edit this in once that problem’s resolved.
Thanks so much for all the feedback! I’ve worked over the past few weeks with things like randomtest and Choicescript IDE to resolve all the bugs
I’ve also been taught the difference between $!{variables} and ${variables} so there shouldn’t be any unnecessary capitalization of pronouns anymore. Plus I’ve worked through a lot of the spelling/grammar edits (most of them messy and embarassing mistakes
lol)
ROs
Doctor Cyrus Sokolov [M]
Cyrus, or Doc Cy, as he’s often called by the townsfolk around Larkin, runs the local mortuary, is town doctor and operates as the local leader around Larkin, though, the office of Mayor has remained vacant for years. The apparent patriarch of the rather strange family that owns the local mine and most of the town–Cyrus has taken great efforts to make friends with the townsfolk.
On the outside, Cy is tall, tattooed, and frankly, a little scary looking. But despite his stature, Doctor Sokolov deep down is a gentle soul, who really only aims to help people, whichever way he knows how. Cyrus is also a man seemingly full of contradictions, local celebrity he may be, more than anything, the good doctor is lonely.
He’s somewhat suspicious of the new Preacher upon his first meeting with the PC, and it’s up to the player whether or not it’s heightened.
Dominic Sokolov [M]
Dominic is the youngest out of the Sokolov siblings, and by his behavior alone–it shows. He works as Assistant Mortician alongside his brother Cyrus, though he spends most of the time around Larkin stirring up trouble–for no other reason aside from curing his boredom.
Dominic is always down for some fun, and well, if that happens to be with the strange new Preacher everyone seems to be in a tizzy about well, won’t that make the papers.
Celina Sokolov [F]
Celina Sokolov is the reclusive third sibling of the Sokolov Family. Despite the misconceptions amongst the townsfolk, it’s her that’s the family’s oldest. She doesn’t leave the family’s home very often–it’s rumored around town that she’s been stricken with some sort of sun-related illness, others seem to have the opinion that Miss Sokolov thinks herself too good to be around the rest of Larkin’s townspeople–the truth however, is something much more complicated. Despite her reclusive nature, on the few occasions townsfolk have seen the Sokolov Matriarch, they’ve noted her delicate beauty–even despite all the layers she wears.
Jacob Nash [M]
Jacob Nash is Larkin’s only practicing attorney–not that he has many clients aside from the Sokolov’s. After passing the Bar exam, Nash headed out west in the hopes of making a real difference for the people there–only to spend most of his days helping settle land-disputes, or notarizing the occasional marriage certificate. Like Doctor Sokolov, Nash has a fondness for the people of Larkin, but he’s not so sure that the Sokolov family has the townsfolk’s best interest in mind.
Nash is dedicated to his work, inside the office and out, doing whatever he can to help the people of Larkin. Although his work keeps him busy, he’s secretly longing for something more–something that the new Preacher could help him find.
Rose Holloway [F]
On the outside Rose Holloway is as prickly as they come. She’s nice to look at, sure, but conversation with the Emerald’s bar-maid doesn’t come easily, unless you’re one of the Sokolov boys.
Rose Holloway moved out west with her husband, but after he passed away upon their arrival, she has remained Larkin’s youngest widow. Days running the Emerald have left her bored, stagnant. And, while she doesn’t offer the new Preacher the warmest welcome to Larkin, she could prove a strong ally in the coming days.
Ace [Gender Choice]
Ace is the dominant figure in the Preacher’s California days, the first real contact they managed to make on their own–someone outside of Wyatt’s sphere.
Ace grew up a member of the guild, raised by hunters and mercenaries in a life that almost mirrored the PC. Maybe that’s why the two seemed to be so drawn to each other during the PC’s days in San Francisco, whether that was as enemies, friends, or lovers.
Hollis [Gender Choice]
Hollis is a bit of an enigmatic figure in Larkin. As an emissary for the Children of Cain, they’ve been one of the few of the group’s members to make the long trek from their encampment up to town more than once. Tall, brooding and often silent, most of the townsfolk are afraid to approach Hollis when they make the monthly ride up to town for supplies, usually with a different group of Cain members each time.
