Scalper Dutch

Scalper Dutch is an aging outlaw featured in Aventure!

Overview
Scalper Dutch shoots fast for an old man. He fires his six-guns faster than a Thompson — though he seldom needs so many rounds to take down his targets. Due to his age and spryness, most people figure he must be Inspired. Wherever his skill comes from, one thing’s sure: He’s the meanest bastard you’ll ever run across.

Whether running farmers off their land, policing coolie workers or hijacking Wells Fargo, Dutch broke every law they ever passed. The Wild West has been tamed since then, but not Scalper Dutch. Even in the 1920s, the world has need for a hired gun. He’s cheap and gets the job done, and he’s just too ornery to die. To this day, he’s a popular freelance enforcer all over the Americas. He’d have plenty of work across the globe if he didn’t hate boats and planes. If he can’t ride there or take a train, he’s not interested.

When Doctor Zorbo attacked New York, Dutch climbed the Statue of Liberty and shot down three dirigibles — then attacked the Æon Society members who dared approach him afterward. Why? He took off before anyone could ask him. Dutch has something to prove, though no one knows what or to whom.

Traits: Scalper Dutch may well have been Inspired even before Hammersmith’s event. He is a daredevil with a Destruction score of 5 and unparalleled ratings in athletic skills (Jump, Tumble, etc.), unarmed combat feats, and a very high Constitution and base attack bonus. He also has Greased Lightning, Perfect Poise, Resilient, Steely Gaze, Trick Shot and Untouchable — which functions even if he’s armed! He is possibly the world’s best marksman. He’s also a son of bitch.
