► Sadie


Appearance

- A hard-working gentleman, Sadie has wrinkled skin that is naturally a pale pink undertone. But due to so much time spent in the sun working, he is normally seen with a heavy tan.
   Has a few sets of freckles along his nose and jaw due to sun exposure as well.
- What was once flaxen blonde hair is now entirely gray. It's short-to-medium length, never reaching past his chin, and due to often wearing a hat, it sticks back and out of his face. Its straight and thin.
- Working hard has left him more muscular than his rakish disposition. His musculature along his body isn't apparent, though, and just looks 'thick'.
- Most notably, when Sadie is thieving, he dons a number of his masks from his collection. The commonly worn mask of repute is a pure-white mask with dark eye and mouthholes that make a very dramatic, unsettling expression.
   Another common mask he uses is a black, rectangular voodoo mask that resembles a skull in the center.
- Has facial hair-- it often changes, but he's usually seen with a heavy stubble-beard, at the very least.
- Has a broken nose.
- Comes off larger than life with a stiff, tall posture.
   His lower arms+hands are about the only thing on his body that look corded and especially muscular, and commonly gesticulates when trying to intimidate someone.

Personality

- Sadie is intentionally enigmatic; he much prefers finding his entertainment in his crimes than with companionship of any kind. While there are people throughout his life that have riled him up in one fashion or another, if he can avoid it, he does.
- Natural born leader due to his calculating demeanor and 'impartial' attitude.
- Knows that he comes off astute and precise, and plays the part well. Whether or not he actually believes it himself is another story.
   And he mostly sticks around younger folks for that exact reason of being able to fool them perfectly.
- On that note, Sadie is one for long 'thinks'. Will consider all angles of situations if given the chance.
- Never feels like he fits in and while he's no longer uncomfortable about it, he contemplates why that feeling consumes him every so often and finds it frustrating that he never has an answer, in all his years of placing that feeling.
- Also doesn't help that he finds himself in his head more often than not-- it comes off as calculating.
- If it isn't obvious, he likes being 'above' everyone and controlling things. He figures he does a good enough job, in comparison to sitting tight and letting some other idiot do a bad job!
- Underhanded in that he will let someone make a fool of themselves if it makes him look good. He will also speak up if he realizes that others want to but cannot.
   Otherwise, he doesn't like having all the attention. There's no point in taking the limelight for no good reason (if he's going to be remembered, he wants to be really remembered, for a very long time)...

BIO

What's to say about a man like Sadie? It seems like he's been around forever... He was born in America, but that's about all that's known on him, not being one for pleasantries or abetting gossip.

He knows so much and acts like he has it all together. His mother and father sure did seem to raise him right...!

...Except... Well, he has some strange- some would say unnatural- affinity for crime.
It started off small-time in his young adulthood, pick-pocketing in the saloons, gambling dens, and whorehouses.
He even tried all sorts of wrong-doings like lighting fires to infrastructures and hurting others, but nothing ever gave him so much satisfaction as stealing. Maybe because it gives him more money? Nobody really knows, again, since Sadie never talks about 'such frivolous details'.

Well, that doesn't matter too much, because he's been all over America, and he's still not satisfied with how much he's pilfered.
Right now he's in Texas with a couple of rancheros, robbing people and the like-- scared the law enough to get Wanted under the moniker "The Masked Bandit".

He's getting old, though, and the crimes he grew into are quickly fading out. It's not a good feeling to be threatened to be left behind, but he's not gonna stop unless they finally nab him and hang him up. He rather likes the idea of being infamous in tandem with his criminal obsession.

Relationships

more notable relationships in links tab


Family
Both of his parents are long gone from this world, but he had a hum-drum relationship with them (he loved and respected them as society dictated he should, and they took care of him as he grew up).
He is an only child, doesn't know any other relatives from his parents.

His gang (underlings)
Sadie knows he can be hard on his charges, but he does it all for good reason! This world is unforgiving and for some of these fellas, the only reason why they've come to him of all people is to get a leg up on their living wages. He doesn't like the idea of coddling them and making them fail in the process, so he rarely shows a soft side around them.
Don't be fooled, though-- it's not like his relationship with all these criminals is droll business... He knows exactly how to get everyone to let down their hair and whatnot. As for how he personally feels about all his 'kids'? Well... That's his secret. But he sure is glad to have such a cooperative group.

Trivia

  • He's been everything at some point, finding the quickest work as a cowboy, but is mostly a criminal-- wanted as the Masked Bandit & Gang.
  • Quite obviously enjoys collecting masks. Some of them are secondhand that he's found/traded/gambled/stole on his travels across America, and some were gifts/bribes.
       He doesn't give them names but thinks, quite wistfully, that they all have their own personalities.
  • He definitely picks and chooses his masks in according to how he feels his thefts will turn out. The white grimace mask gets used often with how ominous Sadie finds the mask-- like a 50/50 chance of making it out unscathed.
  • He can speak Spanish, but his accent is abominable to the point that most Mexicans and Mexican-Americans just tell him to speak English. 😂
  • Sadie's gone through a few iterations, actually... Back in 2008 he was a young, dumb freelance journalist that loved to chase true crime/criminology stories; so basically he did all sorts of illegal things, using the 'grimace' mask to hide his identity, to learn about and share his experiences for money (and he loved it).
    Then in 2012 he got a revamp and turned into a guy who shapeshifted and enjoyed killing humans, donning the OG mask as he went on hunts..... I guess at the end of the day, no matter who he is, I can't separate him from that damn mask and his life of crime. LOL
