Name: Raylan Givens
Door: Door pass - Dominant

Canon: Justified
Canon Point: S5E13, 'Restitution'

Age: 43
Appearance: a tall, good-looking white man with a shitload of swagger

History: Wiki
CR AU (Optional): n/a

Personality:
Positive Trait: Diehard: Raylan's not particularly caring, generally speaking – in fact he can be straight-up insensitive on occasion – but when there's someone he really, really cares about in danger, he will drop everything to help them, even if they're unlikely to be grateful about it. One major example is the young girl Loretta McCready, who Raylan sees a lot of himself in; he gives her a phone and tells her outright that if she's ever in any trouble, she should call him, and he'll come immediately. With the people he loves and care for, almost no barrier is too high for him. He'll do anything for the people he values.

Negative Trait: Angry: Raylan is an angry man, although he doesn't show it that often and doesn't even really believe that he is – he outright says he never thought of himself as an angry man, and is surprised and genuinely hurt when his ex-wife tells him flatly that he's the angriest man she's ever known. He's angry over where he came from, the things and people he's lost, the injustices he's suffered and seen other people suffer, his father, his job, Boyd Crowder, and so on and so forth. Although he doesn't often shout and break things, anger makes him brittle, stubborn, and hard to control. Raylan practically engineered the execution of a criminal who had threatened his wife and then-unborn daughter, working directly against his responsibilities as a US Marshal – and he would do it again in an instant. First impressions linger and inform how he acts around other people, bonds of trust (which for Raylan is something hard-won) can be broken in an instant, and it's difficult to change his mind on something, especially when it comes to protecting people he cares about.

Negative Trait: Impulsive: Raylan has a really strong moral core, though it's entirely unshakeable and basically serves as an 'I can do what I want' permit as far as he's concerned. He's not really the type to shoot first and asked questions later, but also he has definitely said, "If you pull, I'll put you down," more than once, and he will absolutely follow through on that. He's also prone to ignoring his role as a marshal or purposefully acting outside of the marshal purview to settle personal grievances. He's taken off his badge to fistfight with someone who pissed him off. He's not completely lawless, he has respect for rules, but his own personal brand of justice is a better draw to him than staying out of trouble. While he's fairly well aware that he's not invincible, he's still very cocky to the extent that he's often blind to his own inadequacies and failings, especially when they're reflected in other people. For the most part, he's happy to play well with others, but if someone does something Raylan disagrees with, it's hard for him to shake a negative opinion. He also has absolutely no impulse control at all, especially when it comes to sex. Despite being explicitly warned not to by his boss, he had sex with Ava Crowder which resulted in her brother-in-law Boyd being released from prison, because Raylan's relationship with Ava compromised both of their positions as witnesses to Boyd's crimes. He will do something if he wants to do it, no matter how many people tell him not to.

Negative Trait: Proud: Raylan's a very prideful person, to the extent where it can kind of get in the way. On one occasion, he threatened a guy by saying, "The next conversation we have isn't gonna be a conversation," but a little while later he was forced to accompany a colleague to speak to that same guy and the discomfort at having threatened something that he hadn't followed through on was pretty excruciating, to say the least. While he's fairly well aware that he's not invincible, he's still very cocky to the extent that he's often blind to his own inadequacies and failings. Generally, he has a very Old West attitude, which is a huge character flaw because it's the root of a lot of his issues as a person – his take-no-shit attitude, his inability to conceive of himself as being wrong, his very itchy trigger finger, his slightly outdated Opinions On Being A Man™ – and because it can just be really obnoxious.
