 There's one of these in my posse.  His old man was a preacher, and when
 he vanished (mmm, nice hook for me there as Marshal) the kid was put in a
 seminary to train to be a preacher too.  He never paid much heed to all
 the religious stuff he was taught, and escaped into the Weird West after
 an Incident with one of the serving girls.

 He's a shyster of sorts, using his collar to his advantage, but with a
 heart of gold (as is the way with Deadlands characters in general, I
 guess).  His background had some stuff about him having an aptitude for
 healing [right, people who don't want to read anything about what drawing
 a Joker during character creation does, avert thine eyes now]








 ...so when he drew a Knack I gave him Breech Birth so that he could spend
 chips to heal people.  However, despite the fact that he has an obviously
 supernatural way of healing, none of the posse seem to have assumed that
 he's Blessed.  I guess I oughta be proud of them, not accepting anything
 at face value.  :>)
