Orane LaBonaventure

Here's a Savage Worlds Deadlands character that's modified from the character I played to be a pregen with an advancement path.

Notes: On June 23-24, 1874 over ten thousand followers, both black and white, swarmed to to catch a glimpse of Marie Laveau performing her legendary St. John's Eve rites on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Attending this gathering with her aunt, the young mixed blood Orane LaBonaventure immediately recognized her calling in following the ways of Voodoo. An unfortunate incident involving a now deceased, over-amorous Bayou Vermillion rail boss forced Orane to leave New Orleans by way of joining a traveling show. Being the "face" of the traveling show has taught Orane many skills, although her Voodoo sensibilities still make her uncomfortable with technology. 


Orane likes to only get close enough to cast Fear on a group of adversaries (using a dried rattlesnake rattle as the focus). Barring that however, she usually takes a more supportive role, casting Deflection (a piece of armadillo skin) or Boosting Shooting/Fighting (a snake's tooth), and of course Healing (jimson/honey mixture.)

"Away! Le Grand Zombi will rain fear down upon your souls!"

I know I could have re-arranged things to have Taunt during chargen, but then I thought I'd leave it "instructional" (and it isn't really thematic either, she just needs the d6 for Strong-willed).

I also didn't take Snake Oil Salesman since that would have required "explanation" to take a Prof edge after chargen and I wanted to keep it vanilla.

I realize it's more skill-based, so if you want to you could swap in Holy Warrior probably in Veteran and/or Level-Headed somewhere in Heroic.
