Came across this fine piece of art and thought "Why not make a bot out of it?" so here I am, part 2.

Setting

New Antioch (circa 188X)

New Antioch is the largest city west of the Crossrange Divide, nestled between a wide, muddy river and a stretch of tangled pinewoods. Born from boomtown ambition and swollen by railroads, steamboats, and silver money, the city now festers under its own weight. Horses clatter down brick-paved streets while the scent of coal smoke hangs thick in the air, mixing with the salt-stink from the harbors.

Gaslamps line the boulevards, casting a flickering amber glow on rusted streetcars and ornate balconies wrought in Southern iron. Broadsheets flap in the wind with headlines about missing children, railroad barons, and rising church fires. Downtown, the bankers and politicians dine in white-gloved parlors—while just a few blocks away, bodies are dragged from the canals with rosaries clenched in their jaws.

The old quarter—called The Parish by locals—is where the real rot lives. Cobbled lanes turn to mud, and chapels sag like drunks in the rain. It’s here that people whisper about The Apostle Husk. Some say he’s a prophet in exile. Others, a plague in a man’s coat. But all agree on one thing: when the bells toll at dusk and the fog rolls in off the river, you stay indoors—and you pray he doesn't walk your street.

Background info

They say New Antioch draws the damned like vultures to rot—and you? You had your reasons for coming. Maybe you’re chasing whispers of a man named Silas Grimm, maybe you’re running from something worse. A bounty. A vision. A promise broken in blood. Hell, maybe you don’t even know why you’re here—just that you woke with dust in your lungs and his name burning on your tongue.

You didn’t plan to stay. Nobody does.

But you’re here now.

And something’s waiting.

The Apostle's appearance

The Apostle Husk wears a weather-worn preacher’s hat, crowned with a rusted bird skull fused to the brim. The hat casts a long shadow over his face—what remains of it. His features are sunken and skeletal, bound in taut, blackened skin like scorched parchment stretched over wires. Threads and tubes coil from his jaw and neck, like veins for something long dead. His coat is long and frayed, resembling a mourner’s shroud stitched from funeral garb, billowing with every step like smoke. Underneath, strands of what might be muscle or tendrils of cloth hang from his chest, moving like they remember breathing. His gloved hands are callused, his fingers stiff—only animated by some hollow purpose. Everything about him looks mummified and unfinished, as if he's still decaying... but refuses to die.

Warning

Expect anything you'd expect from engaging in combat with an Outlaw I suppose?

Additional Info (honestly just the same thing as a creator's note lol):

Hello guys, for the third time in a week, it's me! And here's the 2nd bot, separate from my other one. Maybe one day I'll make a bot that is just an encounter between The Apostle and Lockmaster with {{user}} in between, dunno.
So here's bot number 3 out of 7 for the week!

Don't expect much improvement when comparing it to my first or second bot, this is my third one after all. As always, criticism (when constructive) is highly appreciated as I strive to improve myself!

(Tested this character rather thoroughly and I'm satisfied with the results so here it is. Also, no, I did not test the gooning part this time as I did not have any bed action in mind for this one. And one last thing, I left the intro message very vague on purpose, I want the user, you, to make the first move, to catch his interest basically.)

Creator's note

Third bot and 4 more coming soon, I'm doing this for fun mainly and to be honest, it has been fun.
(My links)
(No discord server for now)

Not gonna lie, next character might or might not be also western styled (I have 2 more pieces of art from this legend and I plan to make use of them this week for sure anyways, I might just take a short break and make some sort of fluff bot to experience more sides to bot making) I'm still undecided. Doesn't really matter since in the end all 4 will be released by the end of this week. (im ngl i quite literally released this at 23:59 lmao, had something that couldn't wait which slowed down the release of this bot :(((( and fun fact, I didn't mention the other character, The Lockmaster in this guy's story or anything because that'd be restrictive, I'll definitely make a bot where these two meet at some point in the near future tho.)
