death, but not for you, gunslinger.

ABOUT LINKS EUDIO
If you have given your heart up for the Tower, Roland, you have already lost. A heartless creature is a loveless creature, and a loveless creature is a beast. To be a beast is perhaps bearable, although the man who has become one will surely pay hell's own price in the end, but what if you should gain your object? What if you should, heartless, actually storm the Dark Tower and win it? If there is naught but darkness in your heart, what could you do except degenerate from beast to monster? To gain one's object as a beast would only be bitterly comic, like giving a magnifying glass to an elephaunt.
But to gain one's object as a monster...

TO PAY HELL IS ONE THING.
BUT DO YOU WANT TO OWN IT?

Worlds which had trembled for a moment in their orbits now steadied, and in one of those worlds, in a desert that was the apotheosis of all deserts, a man named Roland turned over in his bedroll and slept easily once again beneath the alien constellations.
the gunslinger
Roland is a gunslinger of Gilead – peacekeepers, leaders and mediators, gunslingers are a highly respected authority, and Roland is the last in his world: every other gunslinger is dead, including all of Roland's oldest friends. Alone, Roland travels in pursuit of the Dark Tower: the lynchpin of existence that has called to him since he was a boy. The Tower is at risk of falling, but that is not Roland's concern: he only wishes to climb it and to reach the top.

On his journey, Roland has travelled across many universes other than his own. He is described as being nearly immortal: time has changed for Roland, as it has for many, and he has lived for hundreds of years, perhaps even thousands, all the while chasing his endless quest for the Tower, heedless of those who tell him to cry off.


Roland carries a few specific items with him at all times: two large guns with sandalwood hilts, made of fine and ancient silver, passed down to him from his father. A grow bag, which produces - by means of magic - what you need. Tobacco and papers are a constant, as are dried meats and a great many bullets for his weapons. His matching guns are a set, but sometimes Roland will only have one - the other will usually be in the possession of Eddie Dean.

Eddie is one of Roland's ka-tet, his soulmates and travelling companions that he is most often found with. The others are Susannah Dean, Jake Chambers and Oy (a curly tailed, weasel-like creature called a billy bumbler), and Roland values them above anyone else in the world.

appearance & details
At approximately six-foot-five in height and appearing to be well into his forties – and replete with grey hair that streaks his head and beard – Roland cuts an imposing figure with hard, sharp blue eyes. A habitual smoker, Roland fits a deal of cliches and certainly looks like a cowboy.

His body is lean and well-kept but aging fast, and depending at what point in Roland's life you meet him, he may already be suffering from early onset arthritis. His is covered in a mean variety of scars: a lifetime of gunslinging and violence. As well as that, he may be missing the first two of his right hand's fingers, the pointer and the middle.

However, if you're reading this from Eudio, Roland's appearance is slightly different. Click here.

Roland's accent is not easily placed. On first listen, it sounds quite like an American doing a bad impression of a Scottish accent, but it's not of this world. For Roland, it's a combined accent of home coupled against many long years of travelling.

 within eudio's context, roland's appearance is younger, on the side of more wholesome.
appearing in his mid-thirties instead of his mid-forties, roland's hair is a little less grey, a
little less haggard. he still has a multitude of scars, but he's not missing any fingers or
toes, and he's seen a lot less things than anyone with knowledge of the dark tower might
expect, having not even yet met his ka-tet in this particular canon.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Roland Deschain
CANON: The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
AGE: Roland appears to be about thirty-six, but has been alive for many hundreds, possibly thousands of years.
CANON POINT: Post-The Dark Tower (Book VII)

BACKGROUND: Dark Tower Wikia.
INCENTIVE/FIT: Roland has dedicated his entire life to the search for the Dark Tower, the nexus of existence, and it’s when he finally reaches it and climbs to the very top that he discovers one thing: he has done this before, and countless times. Every time he approaches the final door of the Tower, that door takes him back to the beginning of his journey, leaving Roland in a perpetual cycle. Going through the door takes away his memories, restores anything he lost along the way (including people who died), heals any injuries sustained – essentially resetting him, like re-loading a game at an earlier save, until the next time he goes through the door at the top of the Tower. This time, though, there is an Eudio representative through the door: Roland asks that he go through with this cycle and forget what he knows, but this must be the last time. Whatever choices he makes and whatever he does, they have to stick this time - this is his final chance, and he must live and die with his choices.

addendum: Roland has since gone to the Eudio representatives and asked for an amendment to his incentive - he wants his memories back. All of them. Whatever that means. In this case, it means the memory of every cycle he's been through is now something he carries.

Roland has very few hang-ups regarding physical intimacy, either sexual or platonic, and although he isn’t a warm or physical person by his nature, he considers himself very adaptable – first and foremost he’s pragmatic, keen on fulfilling his end of the bargain. Roland comes from a different universe, which gives him a few struggles regarding technology - he firstly has trouble with reading our letters (he experiences something similar to severe dyslexia), and secondly does not have access to any technology (including cars, electricity), back in his world, making everything more or less very new for him.
SAMPLES: TDM, TDM overflow

He cries for mercy at the top of the tower, screams for it until his voice is hoarse and raw and mercy! not again! let me free of this, don’t make me do it again, don’t let me go through it again! dissolves into nothing but pitiful shrieks; and somewhere between that door and the next life comes an offer: we can make an end of it for you.

Yes, Roland almost says, tired, hungry for reprieve, for rest, for safety, for it all to be over – but he casts his mind’s eye (and in the land of memory, the time is always now) back over what he’s lost, what missteps he has made, what he has done. He weeps so openly now for the weight of all he knows: for the deaths of people that he has loved for hundreds of cycles and resets, for the same failures and crimes he has done over and over without knowledge, and oh, what he would give to make it different –

what he would give to never reach the Tower.

His fingers (only seven, two healed stumps and one brand new and bloody, all on his right hand) grasp at the representative in front of him, a terrible reverence, o holy they are, to offer me this, and his voice cracks on every word, a desperate, wanting whisper: ‘Thee will let me start again,’ yes, let me walk through that door, take my mind, restore my guns and hands and body to me, ‘Let this be the last. Let me die bearing the mistakes of this do-over, and never start again.’

Not ever again.

And the land of memory empties. The names of those he loves (Eddie and Susannah and Jake and Oy and Callahan and Rosalita and, and, and, the list goes on, this man with a heart for loving that he once believed was rot) flee him: dust on the wind, ka like the wind.

Fingers loosening. The deal has been made. A tired murmur, all sorrow and not knowing why: ‘Thankee-sai.'

ANYTHING ELSE? Roland owns two identical guns with sandalwood handles and would bring those with him. He has no actual powers to speak of, but is skilled in hypnotism (which he cannot do without consent, as it's harder that way anyway) and sometimes experiences very, very brief flashes of telepathy called ‘the touch’, neither of which would have any bearing on his fit in Eudio.

general
fourthwalling is a-okay – in fact, roland himself is aware that he is a stephen king character, so that can come up if you'd like. backtagging is perfectly okay. threadhopping is okay within reason; it's probably better to check first.
offensive subjects
i have a relatively high threshold for fictional content, but generally speaking i will not write content involving non-con, sexual content with minors, a/b/o, etc. that sorta thing.
 
   
ic permissions
you are welcome to hug, kiss, flirt with, fight and injure, and use telepathy and/or general supernatural abilities on roland, to various effects and for various reactions. however...
restrictions.
...you may not kill roland. regarding his own abilities, roland is an extremely quick draw and an incredible shot and good fighter, and tough to take down. he is also a good hypnotist.
