Character
Bardin Tara
Born under the blood-red mesas of the Dusty Reaches, Bardin Tara was the runt of his warren, his antlers growing in crooked and uneven while his siblings mocked his clumsiness. Rather than accept a life of ridicule, the young jackalope taught himself the art of stealth and sleight of hand, becoming so skilled at moving unseen that even his own family couldn't track him through the sage brush. When a band of rustlers threatened to destroy his warren for sport, Bardin used his cunning to outwit them, leading them on a merry chase through canyon and gully until they abandoned their wicked pursuit, earning him the respect of his kind and the nickname "The Phantom of the Badlands." He took to the frontier life, donning the garb of a wandering gunslinger to better blend in with human settlements, though his quick wits and nimble fingers proved far more valuable than any revolver. Along his travels, he gathered a loyal crew of fellow jackalopes who shared his code of justice, and together they right wrongs across the dusty plains. His most treasured companion came in the form of a scarred, one-eyed cattle dog he found half-starved beside an abandoned homestead, the creature proving as loyal and capable as any outlaw partner could be. Now Bardin rides the open range, a folk hero whispered about in saloons, a jackalope with honor who proves that even the smallest creature can stand tall against darkness.
