History


Date of Birth: March 9th, 1855
Home: Tombstone, Arizona, United States
Family: Nicholas and Virginia Earp (parents), Newton (older brother), James (older brother), Virgil (older brother), Wyatt (older brother), Morgan (older brother), Mariah Ann (older sister), Martha (younger sister)
Death: Personal Tragedy (youngest brother of famous Wild West lawman, Wyatt Earp; not involved in OK Corral gunfight but did join the Vendetta Ride after Morgan's assassination; later, he stayed in Arizona while his family had moved on, and became known as a bit of a bully, riding the reputations of his older brothers, until finally getting himself shot dead after a drunken quarrel), 1900
Mentor: Stoffel van Dresden
The Test: Trial by Combat (Reaped in Tombstone but vengeance drove him west and he slipped away from the wraiths who freed him of his Caul, never learning or caring what their political alignment might have been; however, he could not find the cowboy in the Skinlands who killed him despite how he searched, and eventually gave up the search and settled in bustling necropolis of San Francisco, where he could keep an eye on his famous brother who survived, Wyatt; Stygia recruited him, promising him rank, duty, and notoriety if he enforced the Dictum Mortuus for them, and he agreed, proving his worth in various shootouts and struggles with the many Renegades that dominated the area in the 19th-century; he began to occasionally use the alias "Woody Evans" to deliberately avoid garnering unnecessary attention)
Comrades: Lorilee Canswell, Jay Warwick, Virginia Bellona, Ira Rings, Dustin Moriarty, Alicia Hatfield
Key Event #1: War (cut teeth as a legionnaire for the Legion of Paupers for decades, blasting his way through chaos-instigating maniacs, both Renegades and Heretics whose beliefs often aligned them more with Oblivion itself more than they'd ever admit)
Key Event #2: Treachery (came to believe most beyond the control of Stygia were just selfish and/or nihilists and unworthy of protection or care, and became more and more inclusive with his own hierarchical ranks, taking comfort only in the arms of a fellow "Old West" veteran, Lorilee, after Wyatt Earp died of old age but didn't Reap--though he admitted he was glad for that; even some "fellow" Stygians rubbed him the wrong way, and he would belligerently argue with a fellow warrior named Goss Huey, who would rise through the ranks as he did)
Key Event #3: War (the battles between Stygia and the various Renegades and Heretics grew into brutal wars over the 20th-century, and he rose through the ranks, often as battlefield commissions, from legionnaire to centurion and eventually to anacreon; the afterlife seemed even more of a violent conflict than the Wild West ever had, yet strangely whenever the greatest threats seemed to endanger his very soul, like sudden Maelstrom/spectre assaults, events seemed to transpire to put him out of harm's reach, nothing material or obvious so easily written off as good luck)
Transition: Reassignment (his relationship with the silver-tongued Lorilee helped his career as much as his war record, and he gained the promotion to "staff" as High Praetor, or chief law enforcer, to help oversee Stygia's largely triumphant ascension in the necropolis)

The Shadow


Appearance: Warren views a forlorn young teen kicking stones, feeling impotent and useless, rarely saying anything but passing that despair onto him. When in Catharsis, a rusty but wholly functional double-barreled shotgun (good ol' "street howitzer") appears in hand.
Trigger: Whenever he's leading others or others are acutely dependent on him.

Relics


Revolver
Appearance: An 1876 Colt .44 Buntline Special at the original 12-inch barrel length, with holster and self-replenishing ammo belt.
Origin: Inherent

Knife
Appearance: A razor-sharp buckknife: steel blade, polished bull horn grip
Origin: Inherent

Handcuffs
Appearance: Standard wrist manacles used as part of the discharge of his office; the dull gray material reveals that they're basic soulsteel in manufacture
Origin: Gift

Significant Other


Name: Lorilee Canswell, 1929
Nature: Romantic

Lorilee



Weakness
Bully With a Badge


Unlike his famous brother, Warren gained a reputation in life that carried into his afterlife as a bully more than a hero. He embraced the role, becoming a perfectly cruel overseer of Stygian policy and heavy-handed law enforcement in the Underworld.

Likelihood of Corruption


Average.

Though he's something of a dick, Warren's aggression also helps counter-act his Shadow's despair.
