Luther "caps" Gusenberg

male • shepherd mix

INFORMATIONThe son of German immigrants, Caps was born Luther Gusenberg and raised in a very strict Protestant household in the tenement homes of New York City. Dry, easily irritable and often nothing but trouble, Caps was out on the street at the all too young age of eleven and he's been trying to make his way in this harsh world ever since. The world has molded him into a young man who's not overly charitable or kind, someone who's trying to make his way in life and who lives by the creed of "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies" - he'll lie to you up and down if it means you'll give him an extra penny or two and feel no shame for it whatsoever. He's a scrapper, a ne'er do well, and he usually only cares about number one with a few exceptions. He's always off in some alleyway, gambling away the bit of money that he has and hoping to get a big win so he can shore up at the lodging house with little worries. He's almost never seen without a cigarette in his mouth or bruised knuckles; they're practically his calling card at this point. At nineteen, he's getting to be a little long in the tooth to be a newsie but he's good at it and so he's going to try and ride it until he has to find something else to do with his life.
