Roscoe "The Rites" Ryder

[rovermcfly]

Roscoe “The Rites” Ryder was only a child when his hometown was wiped out by disease. To find a way to handle his grief, he turned to the study of Kelemvor, the God of Death. Now middle-aged, he is a paladin of Kelemvor and goes from town to town to administer last rites, protect the innocent from the undead and bring a higher justice than any lawman could hope to. A lone cowboy with a ghostly appearance and dressed in all black, imbued with the power of the God of Death himself, Roscoe Ryder is a well-respected, sometimes feared, but nevertheless kind man who may come bringing death, but leaves behind peace.

Imagine: Roscoe brings a member of his party back to life and looks to the crowd of enemies for who initially killed them so he can fulfill his duty and exchange their soul for their party member's saved soul- but noone knows who took the deadly shot and noone is coming forward with a confession. Roscoe looks back to his revived party member and he knows what he has to do.

Roscoe's character playlist that reflects his occupation, his values, the way he's perceived and the general aesthetic of him and the world he inhabits.

The perfect soundtrack for a paladin of Kelemvor dressed in all black wearing spurs and a cowboy hat to ride into town to.

Louuuuu, how do you imagine your cowboy dnd chara looks like in appearance? Besides the ghostly and goth stuff :00

ohhh thank you for asking!! lemme tell you about my boy Roscoe Ryder!

so I imagine him with white, mid-length hair and almost just as white skin and really light eyes and dressed in these classic cowboy outfits with the three piece suit and a bolo tie and the long coat and the fancy boots, but in all black except for one red bandana. I don't really have a faceclaim or anything but I imagine him middle aged or older, classic cowboy type and not exactly sharp features and angles, more like a kurt russell type.

here's some approximations of his look that I can provide since I'm not an artist
