Profile
A rough, kind, friendly, down-to-earth, and rather rowdy at times, Métis man. He’s easy to get along with and knows where he stands, but can be swayed if sweet talked to.
Deserts Edge: Once a school teacher, Rupert had taught children many years ago. He enjoyed it for the most part, passionate about education, but overtime it began to take its toll, waring him down. Turning away from the education system, Rupert began to look into different career paths, eventually coming across a *Rodeo Clown for Hire* ad in the paper. He was eventually trained and became very skilled in the art of clowning and protecting riders—finally finding something to fill that void in his chest.
• An artist at heart who paints and crafts on the side
• Sounds like snoopy (his speaking voice).
• Dating a big elite businessman (Constance Boulder) who happened to take an interest in him.
HoTR: Grew up and was born in the Red River Settlement area of Manitoba, Canada. After the Canadian government went ahead and started pushing the Métis around and burning their homes to the ground, Rupe and his family began to move around to find new places to stay, eventually crossing the U.S border and heading south. They travelled in a Red River cart with an ox.
• He plays the fiddle (land fiddle--made from maple or birch with horse hair) and jigs, carrying around his fiddle in a case strapped to his back. Métis fiddling and jigging is a big part of his life and he continues these traditions to keep his culture alive.
• Knows how to bead a little bit, but still learning. His talents are more in dance and music.
• He speaks Michif, Cree, English and French.
• Fond of Bison and animals in general.
• This timeline is altered and follows the path of Slim wanting to storm the Whitehouse with cattle and take over the government.
