"Quick Draw" Wiley Eldred


( THIS CHARACTER IS MEANT FOR WESTERN/OLD WEST SETTINGS ONLY. )

[ After sitting around in a saloon for two hours, you are able to obtain the latest information about the infamous outlaw known as Wiley Eldred, or "Quick Draw Wiley". ]

[ You think over the information, taking out the rumors and legends and finally getting the facts. ]

Wiley Eldred was born on August 5th, 1852 in Shady Springs, Texas. His parents, Todd Eldred and Marie Eldred were more than proud to finally have a child of their own to raise. His father had quite a respectable status as the sheriff of the town. He even wanted his boy to take his job one day when he retired to continue the line of his family enforcing the law. Shady Springs is a town that is the opposite of its name since the town is in a desert and only has a lake a few miles away, but there is a canyon also close to its area.

As a youngster, Wiley got into more trouble than what most people would expect from a child. He stole food, got into plenty of quarrels with fellow students at school, and didn't even attend church when his parents wanted him to. He believed that God is fake and that all you need to live in the world is to just hold a gun and believe in yourself, and not believe in some false idol. His parents loved him but had to punish him often, which still didn't make him change who he was. It was until Wiley was sixteen that he realized that he wanted to be like his father after hearing his father's triumph against a notorious outlaw gang that hid in the canyon by having a showdown with the leader, and actually coming out alive. After hearing about the glory that his father obtained, he believed that becoming a deputy was the right thing to do.

When he reached the age of eighteen in 1870, Wiley became a deputy and accompanied his father to continue their "war" against the outlaw gang. It was until one night when the gang rode into town, shooting the residents and robbing stores that Wiley was seen as a hero. Wiley had twenty-one confirmed kills that one night, blasting them away with his Winchester rifle until he had to switch to his reliable Walker Colt revolver and fire even more shots. His father only had five confirmed kills that very night. The next day, Wiley's father gathered all the deputies, including Wiley, and went to the canyon to finish off the gang. At the canyon, Wiley proved to be quite an admirable hero once again as he helped finish off the gang, but at the cost of half of the deputies that went there and to see his father die before his very eyes, laying in his own pool of blood. In honor of his father, Wiley took his father's Winchester and used it to finish off the rest of the gang members, and then kept it afterward for further adventures when he was promoted to the title of Sheriff of Shady Springs. He knew that his father would be happy.

After Wiley became sheriff, he fell in love with a beautiful woman, named Catherine, who had just recently moved to the town. However, her reputation didn't serve her well since she was a prostitute at the local inn, but he eventually made her stop when they started dating. His mother didn't approve of their relationship, but she eventually got used to it when Wiley and Catherine got married in 1871. After one year of being together, Catherine got pregnant with their child, which did bring joy to Wiley's mother to know that her son did do what his father wanted him to do when he was a baby. However, the rise of the gang in the canyon began once again when the son of the leader gathered bandits from around the area, and attacked Shady Springs once again in the year 1873. However, this time they attacked Wiley's home and decided to set an example for him for killing their previous leader. Catherine was hanged on a tree outside their home, and a bullet was shot into her stomach. Wiley was enraged as well as devastated by this and went to the canyon one last time by himself to finish off the gang forever. That time he didn't fail, since he had massacred every single outlaw hiding in every corner of the hideout. The leader had begged for his life, and Wiley shot him in his left lung before hanging him in the middle of the canyon, setting an example for any more outlaws that wish to join the now-dead gang.

In 1874, Wiley did something unexpected. His mother went on a trip to go back to her home in Baltimore but was ambushed by bandits and vanished. Her body wasn't found, and Wiley wouldn't allow her to slip away. He asked to see the case, but the deputies in that state wouldn't allow him since he wasn't a sheriff in that state. For that, he shot them all dead and took the case files himself, leaving the police station with corpses inside. Afterward, he searched for his mother while the law now titled Wiley an outlaw for the murder of ten deputies, and he even earned his nickname thanks to his fantastic skill to quickly draw his revolver and mow down anybody in his way. His name on posters became "Quick Draw" Wiley, and on his birthday in 1875, he found his mother who had been murdered by another gang. He did the same thing at the canyon back near Shady Springs and killed everyone he could at the gang's hideout that killed his mother. Afterward, he decided to go solo and live his life the best he could, still wearing his Sheriff's badge.

Wiley Eldred is now twenty-five years of age. He is an outlaw, currently living out his life in the Old West as the best he can, and showing absolutely no mercy to anybody who attempts to hunt him down and bring him into jail for what would be execution. He is armed with his Walker Colt revolver, and his father's Winchester rifle, as well as a knife that is sheathed on his ankle. He wears a dusty trench coat with his sheriff's badge shining on it, while his brown hat makes him seem like some cowboy. He has a drinking problem since he believes it helps him go on with life knowing that everybody he loved is now dead like the bounty hunters that chase him. He is not precisely looking for love, but he is just trying to live, so it could happen. Either way, he is just a dangerous fugitive in the Old West at the moment.

[ With that information, you head out of the saloon to continue your life and be cautious if you ever do come upon the dangerous outlaw. ]
