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:



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:

Cala, this is so late and overdue, but welcome to the game! I'm Sam and I play Steve Rogers.

I've always meant to watch this show, so I'm super excited you're i TOS. And Boyd sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to playing with him.
