Origins

John Robert Call ain't ever been nothing more than the son of a Montana rancher, a crack shot, and likely the best wrangler this side of God's Kingdom. 'Least, that's what his kin say about him. He broke his first horse when he was 12. Someone told him he couldn't, and, well… He did. John ain't never been one to talk much. He likes animals. Likes people too, just don't really talk much to 'em. Still, seeing him atop that wild mustang, breaking it into a trot at the age of 12… It was like God Himself done worked a miracle.

Discovery

There was a raid on their ranch. John was 21 at the time. Nobody knew who Montana belonged to.. But a lot of people sure thought they did. So when those pirates flew in to try and pick off their herd, John was right out there picking off the pilots with his rifle. His mother died, and he wasn't ever the same. They rebuilt, but John never got over the killing he did. He knew what he was capable of, and he finally left the ranch so he could try to forget it.

Personality

The living definition of the "strong and silent" type, John's a real Cowboy cut from the same old cloth as his father, grandfather, and so on before him. He doesn't talk much, but when he does, it's straightforward and to the point. "Never miss a chance to shut up" is a saying he seems to take to heart. He doesn't ever really mention his past, at least not the personal aspects of it. He just goes along, does what he thinks is right, and never asks for a damn thing in return. About the only place he really seems to come 'alive' is when he's with animals.

Props

The Grayson Gun - Modified Rifle Craftsmanship, Rugged, Upgrade
Call got his rifle from a mail order catalog and tinkered with it to his own specifications. Upgraded the sight, reinforced a lot of things, but he kept it pretty simple.
