[ooc] Midworld Terms
Since Bert is a child of Midworld it's only fair he talks like one. So here is a list of terms it he will probably be using and their modern English equivalents. (Please let me know if there's something I should add, I'm notoriously forgetful)
Ka - Fate or destiny. (Used in a lot of sayings)
Ka-tet - A group of people bound by destiny. (In Bert's case it's he, Roland and Alain)
sai - Sir or Madam. (Thankee-sai meaning "thank you very much, sir/madam")
mutie - A mutant or something altered by radioactive fallout. In the case of animals this means they grow extra eyes, heads or limbs and sometimes they have their internal organs in a clear pouch that extends below where their belly would usually be.
Gan - God. The highest power.
The Touch - Psychic power... sort of. It's mostly used in telepathy and occasionally in visions of the future.
The face of your/my father - Honor. To "remember the face of your father" is to act with honor. To "forget the face of your father" is to act dishonorably. Do not forget the face of your father!
Cry your pardon - "I'm sorry".
Notes on guns: Bert's guns (he has two of them) are BIG. Not quite comically big, but bigger than your average handgun. They're described in canon as looking like props left over from an old west movie. But they are very real, and very dangerous. They tend to leave larger and more serious wounds than your average modern gun. And when they go off, they're loud.

[ooc] Stats and Permission
Name: Cuthbert Allgood
Age: between 15 and 16
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown (according to canon, but it looks black in EVERY PICTURE :P)
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 145lbs
Medical Info: Pretty healthy, really fit.
Physical Traits: Cuthbert is pretty (and he knows it too). I'm taking him from the point where he has just become a Gunslinger, so he's really physically fit, possibly abnormally strong but not all that bulky.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him: Just about anything. I would avoid telling him how he dies, for anyone who would know. He won't take it well, and the only person I want telling him about it would be Roland. I might ask that you stay away from the "you're a fictional character" thing too, even though I know Dark Tower is pretty meta.
Abilities: Is a Gunslinger? I will write up some more on this in a bit, but basically he knows his way around a gun. He's fast too, like fast enough that normal people may not be able to SEE HIM DRAW OR FIRE. Unless there is some sort of otherworldly stuff going on, or something is wrong with Bert, he won't miss. He has a Gunslingers aim, which is almost unbelievably good.
He has a slingshot which he wields with similar speed and accuracy. He will probably use this more around camp than his guns. It's just as deadly, though, the little metal balls he uses with it can penetrate bone.
Bert can also hypnotize people with a bullet, but usually only if the person is willing to be hypnotized.
Notes for the Psychics: Bert's mind is probably pretty straight forward. You will see a lot of things about his home, his past and his training. Many of these things will be set in stone, especially his training. He will be thinking about Roland a lot, but other than that there's nothing all that important going on in his head. Bert isn't too strong in the Touch (psychic meddling), but it's fairly likely he will know someone is in his mind, if you go too deep he may try to hurt you.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Ask about the first two, but go for it on anything else.
Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact: Oh yes... Bert LOVES the ladies, and he probably won't say no to the gentlemen if they're pretty.
Maim/Murder/Death: He was made to fight and take abuse, so go ahead. Do try to talk to me before it gets too serious. Bert will undoubtedly defend himself, and that can mean serious business if he has his guns on (and sometimes even if he doesn't), so attack at your own risk.
Cooking: Probably a basic amount, survival cooking at best.
