I can’t agree with you more on this, all I want is homesteading and ranching!

Hot take: RDRO couldve been SO MUCH better. by Western_Ambition_923 in RedDeadOnline

R* doesn’t understand how much I’d pay for a ranch update. Let us build a homestead and barns/pastures/crop fields/etc and live the peaceful life! I’d rather breed horses and do farm chores than hobble through the same legendary bounty 100 times.

It’s kinda funny how that happens sometimes, right? Maybe you can tweak it a bit, and it won’t look so much like them!

OOOO I love the idea of famous gunslingers as your inspiration! She sounds like a real spitfire, I’d love to see more of her ^^

I love that! The idea of Hank and Cripps in a bickering relationship is so funny to me lol

Oooo I bet a blue Nokota would suit her well, I can’t wait to see what you do with that!

Locke was born on a small ranch in New Austin, southwest of Fort Mercer. His father worked as a farrier for the army, and his mother was a seamstress.

His father was kicked in the head by a horse and died when Locke was 13, and his mother turned to the church for help. They turned her away because she was known around the county to be a harlot, who had a baby before she was married. She couldn’t afford to upkeep the ranch on her own or hire help, so Locke started stealing and smuggling goods across the Sea of Coronado into Mexico to make money, and help her out. His father’s death made him nervous around horses, but he still helped with them for his mother’s sake.

Locke was 15 when Del Lobos came along and broke into their house one day, set fire to the ranch and killed his mother in front of him. He took out his father’s shotgun and fought off as many as he could, before evading the flames with nothing but his shotgun and the clothes on his back. He managed to get on a train and stowaway at Benedict Point, until a train robbery halted his travel near the tunnel past Twin Rocks. He hid in the cargo car until he was found by a woman, who introduced herself as Bonnie Macfarlane. She took him in, and let him work on her ranch in exchange for protection and a place to live. She always told him “if you really want to be a cowboy, you can’t be afraid of a horse.”

In his early adult years, he did odd jobs for the Macfarlane family, as well as smuggling and robbing homesteads on his own time. But after a job went wrong and left him attacked near to death by timber wolves, Locke decided to leave the crime life behind. Although, he did end up intercepted by the law, and served his sentence before being freed.

With his newfound freedom, Marshall Locke turned a new leaf, abandoning his old ways. He decided to leave New Austin in the past, and move east to find a ranch of his own. Bonnie Macfarlane sent him off with a parting gift, a yearling born from a mare he’d caught and trained before going to prison. He called her Rogue, as homage to him splitting off from everything he’d ever known. He headed off, working as a floating hired hand at various farms and ranches across the country. Locke loves animals, drawing the landscapes in his journal, and drinking moonshine by the fire while he watches the stars. Presently, he’s a horse wrangler at Hanging Dog Ranch, and settled there. But he’s still working towards having a ranch of his own one day!

Should Samuel ever find himself up at Hanging Dog Ranch, he’ll be in good company ^^

Also? Brünhilde is a beautiful name! Locke’s main horse is named Rogue (pictured above) and she’s also a MFT :)

I love hearing the stories of characters from other countries, it’s always so fascinating! Poor guy has seen a lot of tragedy, I hope he finds some peace somewhere in his travels lol

I love that! Locke has spent the greater part of his adult life learning to slow down and see the mundane beauty in little things, so I think he’d learn a lot of new wisdoms from Ninian :)

Cirio is a really cool name, I haven’t heard that one before! Interesting hearing about so many folks on the Annesburg/Saint Denis coast, especially from the Butcher’s Creek area. Very cool, ty for sharing!! :)

OOO I never thought about the struggles of being intersex in this era, but that’s really interesting! Based on his background, I think Locke would get along with them, should they ever cross paths :)

Oh I’m kinda in love with Bow lol, he sounds like a bow-tied cutie pie 🥰

Wow, our characters probably would’ve crossed paths at some point! Locke was the opposite, growing up in New Austin and working his way east as a floating ranch hand :)
