Valentino's Backstory

Born into a family of Lizardfolk living a simple life and far away from the modern world, Valentino was the son of a retired gunslinger running a bar alongside his wife and daughter. The bar had a magnetism that attracted the strange or...nothing but drunkards spouting nonsense. One thing was clear though, these customers made life for the family exciting, as they would always have stories to share.

But these simple times of business and mug-chocking would soon come to an end as one day, Valentino was sent out by his father to obtain the daily newspaper. This was a rather mundane task for the young lizard, but the boring soon turned into fear. The face of an outlaw his father locked up years ago was plastered on the front page of the newspaper.

Such a face concerned him so much because often times he would hear his father recounting his greatest challenge as a ranger, taking down a man known as Ricardio of the West. Ricardio was the most feared man around; just the mention of his name would silence an entire town. Knowing this, Valentino hurried back to the bar to relay the news to his father but was greeted with an unpleasant sight.

Ricardio and his gang had already arrived at the bar, killing all the customers. Valentino decided to hide, fearing for his life, but his father didn't run. Even with odds stacked against him, he challenged Ricardio and his gang to a gunfight, only to be killed in the end. However the nightmare that had befallen Valentino's home wasn't over. While Ricardio took his leave, those who accompanied him were not satisfied. They decided to rape, then murder Valentino's mother and sister as he watched while hiding. Now satisfied, the outlaws took their leave.

From that day onward, Valentino trained to become an expert marksman, later on taking up the role of a bounty hunter in hopes of finding the bandits that murdered his family. He never slept, nightmares would replay the events of his loved ones dying. But through these nightmares he would remember the characteristics each of the outlaws beared, his key to vengeance.
