Thank you so much for sending this ^_^

I’m honestly so surprisingly okay right now. Absolutely no anon hater could get me down right now.

It’s amazing to see how many people are ‘ready to fight’ these anons with me. We out number them by so much and it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

All of your opinions matter more to me than an anon hater hiding behind anon.

brotherhood is the very price and condition of man’s survival.

YEET- accidentally deleted the first post cos i was scatterbrained when i tried to edit e.e

I made aesthetics for @reddeaddenial ‘s wonderful RDR OCs. Go check them out. And don’t forget to check out her writings as well! 

1. Name of OC and nickname, if they have one.

Her name is Lucy-Marie and she doesn’t really have any nicknames!

4. Do they have a tragic backstory? Where did they come from and where are they now?

Lucy has a pretty tragic backstory lmao. She’s the last remaining member of her family (other than her niece), she was orphaned as a kid and then married a pimp, who turned her out. After she escaped, she and her brother, James, started a gang and lived a life of notoriety for a good number of years between the US and Mexico until their camp was attacked by the law and all but her and her niece escaped. But she’s made the best of it! She’s had good times too. She’s raising her little niece, Rosa, she’s living an exciting life, and she’s made good friends in the Van der Linde gang, so you won’t catch her complaining.

8. Are they more of a day person or night person?

Definitely more of a night person. She sleeps until noon and goes off into town to rob, raid, and pillage under nightfall. Or if she doesn’t feel like going out, she’ll hang around camp and chat with the whoever happens to be awake at that hour. She is active during the day, but she prefers the night because it has more drama and mystery to it.

25. What is their highest bounty they ever achieved and what did they do?

She’s wanted dead or alive in 6 states for $10,000 for massacre, armed robbery, and the murder of 3 government officials.

Ohhh, thank you for asking. I’ll answer for both. 

15. Biggest crime/heist/robbery ever committed?Kit’s been a thief since she was young, but the biggest heist she ever did was just before she joined up with the Van Der Linde Gang. She snuck into an upper-class house and stole some jewelry and several gold bars. She almost got caught, but the owner of the house thought she was a maid. She was smart enough to wear a maid’s outfit. 

Evelyn only started killing and robbing people when she joined the gang. But she did manage to convince all the workers in a bank to give her all the money they had. 

22. They got a useless talent?Kit is able to do that thing where you roll a coin along your knuckles. She can roll it one way, then back again. She can do it fast. 

Evelyn has an eye for good art. She can also spot a fake. 

26. Best memory of being an outlaw?For Kit, it’s when she went drinking with Arthur, John, Charles, and Sean. At this time, she was still disguised as a man, so they paid for her to spend the night with a prostitute. It was eye-opening for Kit, bc girls, and for Arthur (he was jealous that those girls went off with Kit but he ignored those feelings for now). 

39. “You’re not givin’ me much of a choice.” 73. “You know more than you’re telling me.”

Oooh, interesting. I’ll try my best! <3 <3

There it was again- that nasty cough that practically rattled Arthur’s whole being. He reaches one arm up against the saddle of his horse as he exits the general store, leaning the other against his knee as he doubled over, always finishing with a long wheeze before he starts up again.

Every breath he took was raspy and seemed painful. It was hard to watch. He straightens up once the coughing fit was over, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He briefly stared at it, observed was a better term, before clearing his throat and mounting up on his horse. He nods over at Alta to follow, spurring his horse to move.

The young woman furrows her brows in concern. “That cough doesn’t seem to be gettin’ any better, Arthur..” She notes quietly, following him out of the town.

“Sure,” He says, clearing his throat once more. “But don’t you worry ‘bout me. I’ll be fine.”

Alta’s eyes narrow in skepticism. Surely he knows that she doesn’t buy any of that. “You sure as hell don’t look like it. You’re sick and you’re not gettin’ any better. You know more than you’re telling me.” 

Arthur doesn’t reply after that, the ride back to camp going quiet. The only sounds that were heard were the hooves of their horses pounding against the dirt and the wind whistling past their ears. Eventually, he veers off to the right at a forked road, heading into the tall trees of the forest. 

Alta realizes then that whatever he was about to say next was important- why else would he take the longer route back to camp? 

“You always were too observant for me..” Arthur muses to himself, a hint of humor in his tone. He slowed his horse’s steps to a trot, prompting the young woman to do the same. “You’re right, Alta.. I ain’t gettin’ better- in fact, I’m gettin’ worse.. and I don’t think its gonna end well for me.”

Alta swallows the lump in her throat. “So.. you’re sayin’…” She couldn’t bring to finish her own sentence. 

“Yeah.. I’m dyin’. Doc says its tuberculosis- might’ve gotten it from Mr. Downes back in Valentine.” He finished it for her, momentarily looking back to see her downcast eyes before focusing his attention to the path in front of him.

The ride back once quiet once more. The birds chirping overhead along with the leaves rustling gave a serene ambiance- unlike the restlessness and heavy feeling shared between the outlaws. Then another sound was heard. 

Arthur turns his head at the sound of sniffling, seeing Alta brush the tears from her eyes. She tried to hold back her tears, tried to distance herself from the situation like she usually did. But this was different; Arthur was family. After loosing Hosea, she couldn’t take another loss in her life.

“Hey c’mon, don’t go cryin’ on me now. I ain’t dead yet.” He scolded, albeit playfully, in an attempt to lighten the mood. 

Alta didn’t know whether to laugh or cry more. Typical Arthur. “You’re not givin’ me much of a choice.” She sniffles, spurring her horse to move alongside his. 

The man sighs, looking over to Alta. He looks over and sees the scared little girl that she once was when Hosea first brought her in. “I ain’t usually the one who says this but- I guess all things come to an end and.. mine is comin’ soon. But that doesn’t mean I still can’t try and do good things, enjoy life while I’m at it..”

Alta nods at this, letting everything sink in. Arthur has a point and if that’s the way he saw it, then she might as well help him live it out. “You sound like Mary-Beth.”

“Well she said that I can be a romantic at times.” He muses. The familiar sound of the camp started growing louder as they neared the clearing they settled in.

end me pls

“Well hello, Alta.” Uncle greets in his usual chirpy tone. He grunts as he sits down on the log near the fire, warming himself up from the cold evening winds of Horseshoe Overlook. 

The young woman looks up from her current whittling project, nodding over at him. “Evening, Uncle.” 

“Fine night tonight, don’tcha think?~” The old man sings, a blissful sigh escaping him.

Alta quirks a brow at his antics. It’s not the fact he was greeting her and trying to make small talk that made her suspicious, Uncle greets everyone and tries to get them to converse with him, its the fact that he was using that voice. The voice that held a mischievous tone, a tone that he uses when he wants to know something. 

“Yes it is.” Nonetheless, Alta answers, playing along with his game.

Uncle chuckles again. This wasn’t good. “Yes- a fine night to spend with someone curled up by the fire. Maybe that someone being a certain tough but taciturn feller by the name of Charles Smith.” He looks over to the young woman, smirking when he notices her tense up. 

“Come again?” Alta says after a couple of seconds later, earning a victorious but obnoxious laugh from the old man.

“I knew it,” He cheers, leaning forward, or he was trying at least, towards Alta. A shit-eating grin was playing on his face. “You and Charles have a thing goin’ on dont’tcha?”

“N-now hold on- what makes you think that Charles and I “have a thing”, as you put it?” She asks straightening up and crossing her arms over her chest. 

When and how did he find out about the both of them?

👀👀👀 

thanks maddy for sending these in XD

7. kissing their forehead or cheek

If it were Nick that did this, Alta would be pretty surprised since she knows he isn’t usually all touchy and affectionate. But she knows its just his way of showing his brotherly affection and that he cares for her. Maybe this would happen when she was either stressed or really worried about something. Either way, she appreciates the gesture.

If it were Theo, she would be a little caught off guard but appreciates the gesture nonetheless. Again, she knows its also his way of showing his brotherly affection. 

Leo’s case is very special because there may be a chance that she’d reciprocate the kiss on his cheek too; because for some reason she sees him as a little brother and she can be affectionate with family. She finds the gesture really sweet and is actually pretty flattered considering Leo doesn’t usually socialize.

10. playfully whacking them with a pillow

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can see Theo doing this to Alta. 

Two Scenarios:If its out of the blue, she’d be a little stunned considering Theo just came outta nowhere. But she’d whack him back before laughing and going back to what she was doing.
