Build: Abe is built well for his age, being physically in shape from the work around the farm he helps with. He is gaining a few pounds from his alcoholism, however.

Profession: Rancher, Outlaw Rebel

Skills:

Guns, extensive
Survival, extensive
Repair, moderate
Unarmed, basic

Training:
Abraham first held a rifle when he was 3 years old. On a ranch, it's just something you have to know. Abe has spent the better part of his life protecting his ranch and hunting others animals (including people). His skill with a Double-Barrel Shotgun is unmatched in the local area, but using a Shotgun more often than anything else has lead him to do worse with anything that isn't a Shotgun.

Living off the land. This is a skill Abe picked up when traveling in his younger years, when he was hungry or thirsty. Banana Yucca Fruits and Barrel Cactus Water are his favourite pieces of vegetation based foods.

If your gun breaks out in the middle of no-where, what do you do? You make do. Using anything from duct tape to masking tape, Abe has repaired his guns and clothing again and again and again in his travels.

Alcohol always did stir something up in Abe. Ever since he drank his first bottle of Whiskey when he was 15, he's been fighting in bars and saloons across the wasteland. Fistfights in bars from the Tops Casino on the Vegas Strip to the Shark Club in New Reno, Abe's learned a lot about fighting with his fists.

Other Abilities: None

Apparel: Abe is usually seen wearing a once sky-blue ranchers shirt, now green, moldy and torn in places. As well as that, he sports a pair of braces holding up a pair of slightly over-sized rancher's pants of a dark navy-blue colour. He is almost never seen without his worn, almost fingerless leather gauntlets and his raggedy, tattered hat.

To keep his Shotgun Shells close at hand, he dons a bandolier around his torso to store them in.

Weaponry:

Unique Winchester Model 21, "The Drunkard's Belch" (Modified so that the initial shot is more incendiary and explosive)



Unique 44. Magnum Revolver, "Abe's Keepsake" (has a modified rate of fire)



Other Equipment: Flask of Whiskey(1), Pack of Cigarettes(2)



Affiliation: Ranchers Rebellion, The Walker Family

Religious Belief: Christian

Sexual Preference: Pansexual, Zoophiliac

Relationship Status: Single/Not available

Personality: Abe is a hardened man. His family were driven from their original ranch when he was a boy, so he soon learned that it's the men with the guns that make the rules. He is irritable, but gentle in some respects. He is deeply loyal to his family and to causes that he takes an interest in. Sometimes seen as eccentric by the local townsfolk, he has never fitted in anywhere really.

2231 - Abraham is born to Cletus Walker and Mary-Beth Walker on their ranch outside of Tull, Oregon. They receive pressure from local Brahmin Barons to move off their land, but they don't give up just yet...

2234 - Abe is first taught how to hold a rifle by his father, Cletus. It comes naturally to him, like a fish to water. Over the next few years, his father also teaches him about treating the land and how to tend to the ranch, et cetera.

2243 - Abe, his younger brother and his parents are driven away by the Brahmin Barons. They sell their land for a poultry sum and move to a small shack on the outskirts of Tull. Space is cramped and they barely have enough to feed themselves.

2251 - Abe and his younger brother repopulate an old ranch in Tull. It becomes known as the Walker ranch. Abe spends most of his time there. tending the land and helping to rebuild it for them both.

2258 - Abe catches word of Brahmin Barons out west forcing farmer's to sell their land for extortionate prices. This worries him slightly, and he and Alex discuss it for a while. Eventually, they laugh about it and decide that it's not going to happen to them... probably.

2260 - His brother, Alex, had met up with a wife by this time. They had just had a son, whom they called Earl. Over the years, Abe teaches Earl some things that his father doesn't; such as how to sneak up on an animal and kill it... or a man.

2273 - Earl kills a Brahmin Rustler. Abe thinks the boy ought to celebrate with a shot of Whiskey, but Alex forbids this. Abe spends that night celebrating until the early hours of the morning. This is the beginning of his alcoholism.

2274 - Abe helps out where he can around the ranch as Alex is injured. He becomes increasingly unreliable and more of an alcoholic in this time, sometimes almost letting some of his darkest secrets slip.

2276 - Abe doesn't get word of Alex's death for a time, but when Earl tells him Abe joins the posse of people who hunt down the killer. Abe's alcohol problem grows worse as time goes by now, and his hatred for the NCR in the area grows.

2280 - Abe's problem gets slightly better, but the damage has already been done. He begins to suffer from short term memory loss, and this worries his friends and family. The NCR's heavy taxation and conscription rates begin to eat away at him. He, like Earl, often sings anti-NCR songs after some drinking and often gets involved in a fight. Nine and a half brawls later, Abe's unarmed skill develops and he becomes a good fighter (not that he wasn't already). Even blind drunk he can knock a trooper out in one punch.

2281 - Abe hears that Earl is being bothered by a Brahmin Baron in the area, and decides to track him down. He speaks to a few of his old friends who owe him favours, and they give him a name and location. Donning a scarf around his face, Abe ambushes the Baron and his escort single-handedly. He manages to take down the escort, but his clip is empty by the time it comes to handling the Baron himself. After a few misfires, the Baron also runs out of ammo. Abe and the Baron get involved in a brawl next to the nearby river. After some struggling and a few heavy punches all-around, Abe tackles the Baron into the river and holds his head beneath the water. While doing so, he beats him relentlessly which covers him in blood. The Baron drowns, and Abe returns to the ranch late that night. Soaked in blood and water, he stumbles through the door of the house and startles Earl. Earl looks at him for a second, saying nothing for a while. After a period of silence, Earl tells him to "just get cleaned up". Deep down, Earl had known what he had done...

2282 - Abe is comforted by that fact that his niece is able to happy in such a troubled time, and thus hides his hatred and discomfort. He engages in the singing, celebrations and other such things. However, he gets into a fight with some NCR soldiers with Earl and nearly kills one after smashing a stool over his head. He, Earl and co. are taken to the NCR stockade for the night. He and Earl begin to think of what life would be like without the NCR and the Brahmin Barons.

2283 - Abe gets involved with some of the Rancher's Resistance movements in the area along with Earl, and begins to refresh his knowledge and skill with guns. He carries his father's revolver with him at all times now, having shot a few NCR troopers with it while masked. Occasionally, he also brings his favourite Double-Barrel, "The Drunkard's Belch", to the saloon to make cocky NCR troopers think twice before starting a fight with him. In secret, he murders two troopers patrolling the southern road while masked at night. He smiles and laughs afterwards, thinking nothing of it.
