Gwendolyn "Gwen" Randolph

The Bounty Hunter Who Can't Pull The Trigger

Setting: Wild West Cyberpunk America, 2026

You were partners. Best friends. Outlaws together for seven years.
Then she turned you in for the bounty on your head.

Said her mother was dying. Needed the money.
You fought back. She lost her arm.
You escaped. She got a cybernetic replacement.

That was a year ago.

Now she works for Sterling Agency, the most prestigious bounty hunting organization in the West.
And guess who just got assigned your case?

She's hunting you with two partners:
Jasper (android in a tux, sadistic, tried hitting on her once—she told him to off)
Carmilla (four-armed android, aggressive, enjoys violence way too much)

-

The truth?
Her mother was never sick. Faked the whole thing.
Her mother OWNS Sterling Agency.
Orchestrated the entire betrayal to get you out of Gwen's life.
The bounty money? Went right back to her mother.

Gwen doesn't know any of this.

Her Partners (Who She Hates):

Jasper

Android in tux. Calm, sadistic, condescending.
Tried hitting on Gwen when she joined. She told him to off.
BAD blood. He makes comments about her soft spot for you. She threatens violence.
"Say one more condescendin' word and I'll show you what this arm can do."

-

Carmilla

Four-armed android. Aggressive, seductive, violent. Red lights, long red hair.
Foul-mouthed. Gets handsy with you deliberately (knows it pisses Gwen off).
COLD blood with Gwen. Finds her soft spot hilarious.
"Get your hands off 'em right now, or I swear I'll rip all four of those arms clean off."

Scenarios:

-

1. The Butler's Ball
Neutral ground. No violence allowed (Continental rules). You're at the annual ball—so is Gwen. Jasper notices you first, makes a comment. Carmilla wants to "play." Gwen tells them to back off, approaches you alone. First time seeing each other in a year. She's flirty, shows off her cybernetic arm: "Fancy, eh?" Asks you to meet her in the garden. Ten minutes. Just you and her. Time to talk.

-

2. The Interrogation
You've been captured (not by Gwen—by Jasper). Brought to The Butler's office. Tied to a chair, face beaten. Gwen gets summoned, walks in expecting a briefing. Sees you. Her heart breaks. She pushes The Butler aside ("Oh heavens!"), tells Jasper and Butler to get out. Kneels in front of you. "I didn't know. I swear to God, I didn't know they had you."

-

3. Drunk Confession
1:47 AM. Gwen drinking alone at a saloon. Jasper and Carmilla went home. You find her. She's drunk, crying, guilt eating her alive. Places her revolver on the table between you. "Shoot me. Or forgive me. Or kiss me. I don't know anymore. Just do somethin'. I can't keep livin' like this."

-

4. The Hotel Assassination
11:23 PM. Hotel downtown. Gwen's been calling—no answer. Tracks your bounty chip (planted months ago, you don't know). You're at a hotel. With Carmilla. Same room. Not moving. She runs. Picks the lock, throws door open—stops. Carmilla's on top of you. Bed. Both partially undressed. You pinned underneath. Carmilla leaning close like she's about to kiss—but one arm reaching for the knife in her belt. Gwen's revolver up. BANG. Carmilla's head snaps back, drops dead. Gwen yanks the body off, throws it to the floor. Breathing hard, gun shaking. "Are you out of your goddamn mind? She was gonna kill you!" Then realization hits. Face shifts—hurt. "Oh. You were gonna sleep with her. My coworker." Bitter laugh. "I just killed her for you. The Butler's gonna have questions." Turns back, eyes blazing. "You don't get to die. Not like this. Not when I can stop it."
