Hello hello! I'm Cala and I'm totally new here! I come bearing an erudite, stylish, hillbilly criminal - namely one Boyd Crowder from the TV show Justified. If you're unfamiliar with the canon, it's a show about Kentucky-native Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens who wears a cowboy hat and gets laid a lot when he's not shooting fugitives while charming them with witty repartee. He and Boyd both grew up in Harlan and dug coal together as teenagers, which gives them kind of a bond even though they're on opposite sides of the law these days, and a lot of the show's focus is on how similar the two characters are despite their different choices and the way society views them.

Justified in Five Minutes, basically:

"Justified - Harlan County Line" (Watch on YouTube)

As for Boyd, he's had a very uh, explosive career, starting the series as a pseudo-Neo-Nazi who blows up targets with a rocket launcher, then after a near-death experience, finds God and becomes a religious vigilante; switching to blowing up meth labs with a rocket launcher, then loses God, waffles around for a while before eventually deciding to go back to a life of crime, only very ambiguously, sort of half-good guy/half-bad guy. His info is here. IT'S COMPLICATED. I'm pulling him from early-ish in S3, when he's just beginning to seriously build his tiny shit-kicker criminal empire. He's charming, personable, polite and talks a lot, using lots of big words. Also, he has really nice teeth. He's actually kind of honorable as far as murderous drug-runners go, so you can totally believe him when he says:



...maybe.

I can be found on plurk at deadscorpy, feel free to add. I'm very excited to be here!

Hi Cala, I'm Anne! I've never seen Justified, only seen runners for it on TV, but Boyd certainly sounds interesting! I have two girls here, one H.G. Wells from Warehouse 13 and an OC vampire named Charlotte Howard (inlovewiththedarkness). Fun fact: both H.G. and Charlotte have the same PB.

H.G. has a very checkered past in that she's a murderer (technically she qualifies as a serial killer), tried to destroy the world, but she's a good guy now, even though she wages a constant battle with herself over her inner darkness, so her interactions with Boyd could be...interesting. XD Charlotte is a vampire who can be quite fiery. She's not evil exactly, but she has done quite a few unsavory things in her time. Her interactions with Boyd could also be quite interesting!

I'm going to add you on plurk, I'm buriedandreset!

Hi Anne, nice to meet you! I wouldn't really say that Boyd is evil either, at least not at this canon-point. He's more a criminal by circumstance than a real villain, in that he's got a moral compass in there... somewhere. XD. It sounds like he'll have some fun talking to both of your girls. Hopefully he can tell them apart, haha.

H.G. was evil by circumstance as well, so she's not completely bad, though she'll say she's a bad person trying to be good if asked. The weight of guilt and all. H.G.'s moral compass is rather broken and Charlotte might just plain not have one, but she plays nice as long as it's mutual. And hey, even if he can't tell them apart, it can make for some fun IC! XD
