Rails Through Hell: Vander

Vander Zahn

Appearance Vander is lean and wiry, with short hair, sharp features, and eyes that twinkle with mischief. He's decked out in a kind of plate armor that clings to his body and covers it completely. He sports a red tattered short cape that doubles as a scarf, and he carries what looks like an entire department's arsenal of pistols and rifles. His movements are precise and economical, his balance always ready to explode into violence, a contradiction with the relaxed shoulders and easy smile that he wears.
