Deacon Black

Requested by Pyrate · Associated with Alasdair Keary
Angel, Witch, or Demon · 40-60 · Male · Gang Leader, Owner of the Buffalo Heart gambling house
FC: Tim Omundson · Negotiable (But must have an amazing mustache)
Relationship: Employer, Fellow Gang Member

Requested by Pyrate · Associated with Alasdair Keary
, , , ,

The mysterious leader of a gang of upstarts. Once a snake oil selling charlatan and professional Liar with a tendency to take in strays, Deacon found his way to Never, drawn by the influx of tourists just waiting to be fleeced. He settled there, built up a little family of strays stitched together by his enigmatic charm and propensity make young disenfranchised minds mistake him for a mentor.

Then a man named Cathal Keary came to town. He and Deacon Black became fast friends, Deacon having the charm and the ambition to make big plans and get people on board, and Cathal having the realism and critical mind to put those plans into motion. Together they opened the Buffalo Heart and sculpted their small gang of strays into a well oiled train robbing machine.

Greedy, ambitious, and ruthless. He is kind only to those who are loyal to him, and brutal to those who prove otherwise. He lets Cathal handle the business side of things while he happily reaps the rewards and pulls the strings from the background, usually for his own entertainment.

The Bad Hand Gang

Requested by Pyrate · Associated with Alasdair Keary
Various Types · Various Ages
FC: Various · Negotiable
Relationship: Fellow Gang Members

Requested by Pyrate · Associated with Alasdair Keary
, , , , , ,

The Bad Hand are a gang of train robbers that operate outside of Never, New Mexico. Controlled by a mysterious figure by the name of Deacon Black. Their rules are simple. Obey Deacon, keep the Buffalo Heart gambling house running smooth and clean, no criminal activity within the town limits, and the gang always gets a cut, no matter what their side hustle might be.

Loyalty is everything, and disloyalty, even in small amounts, is severely, ruthlessly punished.

Their headquarters, the Buffalo Heart in the sketchier part of Never called Mystic, is run by the former, presumed dead bandit outlaw Cathal under his new surname Keary. As Deacon’s right hand man, he’s the one most of the boys deal with day-to-day, and the one that usually hands out Deacon’s orders to those that Deacon doesn’t care to handle himself.

Mateo Lux runs a portrait studio on the edge of Never’s Chinatown, where his enchanted camera captures more than just the living. Known for offering comfort to the grieving and stirring desire in the lonely, he trades in moments that blur the line between heaven and something far more human.

An angel with roots in ancient Latin American divinity, Mateo walks the line between miracle and temptation. He is equal parts sacred and indulgent — Granting blessings, stirring hearts, and keeping his deeper truths well hidden.

Solomon van Rijn

Writer, Bookbinder, Part-Time Deputy
Angel · Late 30s/early 40s · Man
Played by Chelsey
FC: Alexander Skarsgård
,
Played by Chelsey
,

It has always been the task of Good and Holy Angels to carry out divine vengeance. But how does one smite with the Wrath of God when the sin is that of loving the wrong person? A question for the ages, and one which Solomon, as he’s now known, has no intention of answering any time soon. Over twenty years ago, a silver-tongued demon let slip the most selfless of casual utterances with far-reaching consequences. Once an angel of retribution, Solomon found himself in Never, bereft of his identity save a new name, a cause, a purpose: get the disjointed stories rattling around in his brain out of it, and into the world. The truth, as he knows it, in black and white for a world that was anything but. Unbeknownst to this bookbinding amnesiac, the cause of his forgetfulness lingers on the edges of town, watching from afar, ever wary of threatening the tenuousness of Solomon’s mental state and safety. After all, isn’t it better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all?

Margaret “Maggie” Bell

Site Canon Character
Co-Owner of the Silver Hills Hotel
Angel · 30s-50s · Female
FC: Olivia Colman
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Maggie Bell is the heart and soul of the Silver Hills Hotel, a welcoming refuge nestled in the center of Never. With her upbeat demeanor, ready smile, and the warmth of someone who genuinely cares for the comfort of others, Maggie makes everyone who walks through the hotel doors feel like family. Whether she’s personally overseeing the meals in the dining room or offering a reassuring word to a guest, she radiates a sense of hospitality that has earned her the trust of the town.

Unlike some of her more subtle angelic counterparts, Maggie isn’t content to sit back quietly: She’s actively involved, using her innate sense of right and wrong to keep an eye on the darkness that lingers in the corners of Never. If something feels off, if someone is being wronged, Maggie is the first to speak up. She believes that the fight for goodness isn’t passive, and that even the smallest action can spark a ripple of change.

Her relationship with her brother Otto is one of quiet support, but Maggie’s true mission is clear: To help the lost find their way home, and to ensure that even in a town as strange as Never, there’s always a light shining to guide them.

Otto Bell

Co-Owner of the Silver Hills Hotel
Angel · 40s-50s · Male

Otto Bell is the jovial half of the Silver Hills Hotel duo, always ready with a quick joke or a playful quip to put guests at ease. His humor is infectious, and he has a natural gift for making even the most anxious traveler feel welcome and comfortable. Whether he’s cracking jokes behind the desk or creating a lively atmosphere at the hotel’s social gatherings, Otto’s ability to bring joy and laughter makes him a beloved figure in Never.

But beneath the playful exterior, Otto shares his sister Maggie’s angelic calling. While Maggie guides lost souls with quiet grace, Otto is the one who gently lifts their spirits with humor and warmth, easing their burdens before they continue their journey. His mission to help the lost find their way to Heaven is woven into his every action, though he wears it lightly. He may be more inclined to crack a joke than preach, but he is just as devoted to his heavenly task as Maggie — Ensuring that the light of kindness and laughter reaches even the darkest corners of the town.

Seth Breakenridge

Site Canon Character
Bartender
Angel · 20s-40s · Male
FC: Ryan Gosling
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Ostensibly, Seth works at the Pearl to keep a divinely-sanctioned eye on the demon calling herself Augusta Packer. In practice, the two of them have reached an uneasy detente in their tug-of-war for Clarence Barton’s soul. Seth isn’t a neophyte; he knows he’s being manipulated. He minds less than he should, because the alternative is a return to Heaven and its perpetual tedium. Despite his immortality, he’s never done well with boredom, and the end of the pitched battles between the heavenly host and the armies of Satan has thwarted his soldierly ambitions. Baiting his demonic counterpart at every opportunity adds at least a little spice to waiting around for the Rapture.

Homer Tracy

Site Canon Character
Owner of the Majestic Theater
Angel · 30s-50s · Male
FC: Walton Goggins
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Homer Tracy is the ever-smiling impresario of the Majestic, Never’s raucous, slightly ramshackle Vaudeville theater tucked between a gunsmith and a bakery on Pecos Ave. With a booming laugh that echoes through the rafters and a knack for finding talent in the unlikeliest places, Homer brings joy, spectacle, and a touch of the absurd to a town that often forgets to smile. He feeds the hungry out of the Majestic’s back door twice a day, no questions asked, and knows every name, every face, every trouble that passes through his ticket booth.

But beneath the greasepaint and good humor, Homer is serious about trying to gently shepherd lost spirits toward the light. He doesn’t preach, doesn’t scold, doesn’t judge. He believes in laughter as a kind of salvation, in shared meals as sacred, and in friendship as a divine act. Even demons get a warm hello and a clap on the back when they cross paths with Homer — He insists that anyone can change, and that Heaven always has room for one more.

Charles Four Rivers

Site Canon Character
Newspaperman
Angel · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Tokala Black Elk

Site Canon Character
, ,

Even before Satan’s rebellion, the angel who would eventually take the name Charles Four Rivers was possessed of a terrible curiosity. Created as a recording angel, he bent himself to the task of denoting the thoughts and deeds of men, as God commanded, but he could never find an entirely comfortable position in his work. He was meant to be content with what; he couldn’t stop himself from wondering why. Those questions proved troublesome, of course, as questions from angels always do, and when he finally crossed the border between observer of human nature and participant in human history, his own fall from divine grace was all but assured. Too clever to serve in heaven but too wholesome to languish in hell, he found himself trapped in the liminal spaces of reality. Never is hardly the worst place for a mostly-fallen angel to end up, and the human guise he’s chosen lets him use the skills God granted him at the universe’s inception.
