They almost didn't pay any mind to what Salem had said. Almost, but then the implications clicked, and they couldn't help but turn to him. "Ex-fugging-scuse me? You play the most dangerous game?" They weren't surprised, but they were ever so slightly alarmed. They might be a violent person, but their violence had a purpose. That didn't.

Oh for fuck's sake - they figured that Mike would be just a steady presence during this interaction, but then he went and took the man's gun away. "Since when do we disarm people?" Unless someone was a threat, they didn't really see a point. Everyone else was armed around the Badlands, and this guy was joining.

"But you still ran." It was more of an observation than anything else; Salem was working on taking out his old crew, which surprisingly enough hadn't brought any ire. "Welcome to the Badlands, Iiniwa. I'm Cat, and contrary to what you might first think I'm in charge."

APPEARANCE  dress me up and watch me die
⇥ Catalyst is 6'2" tall; they possess a lean and muscular body, one that has a variety of old scars adorning it. One of the easiest to notice is one that stretches down their right cheek. While not a scar, one very notable marking on their chest is the "BL" brand. They have two piercings, one in their tongue and the other in the cartilage of their left ear. They typically dress in dark colors (favoring jackets with some sort of writing on the back), and their hair is black. They're not all dark, however, as they have pale blue eyes that peer out from beneath medium-sized eyebrows.

PERSONALITY  if it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
⇥ Catalyst is ambitious, with the cunning and ruthlessness to reach their goals by any means necessary. They can be brutal when they feel it is needed, however when it's not they won't bother. They tend to be rather aloof and apathetic to most things and people, with some very rare exceptions. Provided those around them don't cross a few specific lines, they're content to leave them be, though they've been known to take an interest in some people, which seldom has a positive end for whoever their interest is in. They can be manipulative, and will often encourage people to make bad decisions. Those that stick by them will be rewarded, but those that do not will be cast out, as they've been outcast for their entire life and have learned to appreciate loyalty wherever they can find it. Even during the most stressful of situations, they usually keep a firm grip on their temper and keep their calm, though when they do snap and lose their temper, it is uncontrollable. They're remarkably observant, often able to deign much from subtle clues in what people say, how they say it and how they act.
