Age: 30
Current Health: Alive and in one piece (although the same might not necessarily be said for the current state of her liver)!
Species: Human

Content warnings: Warnings for violence/death, abuse, alcoholism, depression/mental health issues, etc.
Canon world: Purgatory, Wynonna's hometown, is a small Canadian town adjacent to the Rockies that exists in what is known as the Ghost River Triangle, a territory that serves as the imprisonment for any of the resurrected outlaws (known as "revenants") killed by Wyatt Earp. Other supernatural entities, such as demons and vampires, have been attracted to the Ghost River Triangle due to the unique energy it gives off from being a cursed area of land.
History: Wynonna Earp never expected to end up in Purgatory, the town she'd spent her entire life trying to get away from. Her arrival coincided with some painful family reunions, chief among them her sister Waverly who she'd left to endure demons both metaphorical and literal. But she forged some new connections, including Deputy Marshal Xavier Dolls (who was investigating the creepy goings-on in Purgatory) and Doc Holliday (who had his own long-time connections to Wynonna's family tree). Unexpectedly inheriting the curse, going all the way back to notorious gunslinger Wyatt Earp, Wynonna found herself saddled with a mystical gun, Peacemaker, and dozens upon dozens of resurrected outlaws (known as "revenants") that needed sending back to Hell. Of course they weren't the only enemy that reared their ugly head — some of the threats that emerged were closer to home than any of them could have expected. When Wynonna and Waverly's supposedly long-dead sister, Willa, returned on the scene, it had all the makings of a happy reunion — or it would've, if not for Willa's plan to team up with long-time Earp enemy and head revenant Bobo del Rey in order to break open the Ghost River Triangle and free all of the demons trapped within its borders.
To save Purgatory, Wynonna was forced to kill her sister, but not before another enemy slipped through the cracks. Mictian, part of a legion of demons, had the ability to possess anyone with the intention of ultimately fusing itself with a human host — in this case, Waverly, although it briefly jumped to Wynonna's body for a time and revealed that her birth control had, in one fateful instance, failed her. Mictian was ultimately subdued by Peacemaker, while Wynonna had an even bigger problem in an unexpected pregnancy to deal with (and how to break the news to Doc, her baby daddy). After a time-jump in Purgatory sped up her pregnancy by eight months, she delivered a girl, Alice Michelle, before instructing her friends to hide the baby away in secret so that her enemies would never be able to find the next Earp heir.
As of her current canon point, Wynonna was searching for a way to break the Earp curse to ensure it never passed on to her daughter — but to do that, she'd have to take down her most epic threat of all: the demon Bulshar.
CRAU: Wynonna arrived in Deerington in February 2019 and quickly established a reputation for herself. The farmhouse she'd woken up at in Clarke Acres on the edge of town was in dire need of repairs, and an early scuffle at the Hair of the Dog led to her picking up shifts — first to pay off her debt, but then because she realized she had a natural-born ability for pouring booze. Meanwhile, she found herself slowly getting a sense of the town and coming to the aid of fellow Sleepers. A series of chance meetings with a man with a mysterious past who introduced himself as Pete Castiglione led to a deeper relationship than either of them could have predicted, up to and including the moment when he gave her his real name: Frank Castle.
As Wynonna and Frank grew closer (and eventually became engaged), the home they created for themselves at the old farmhouse only expanded to include more beneath their roof — first Clifford Norman, a surly werewolf teenager, then Laura Howlett, a young mutant girl. By then, Waverly Earp had also arrived in Deerington, and Wynonna's excitement was tempered by the realization that Waverly was from her own past and there were some harsh truths she was going to have to break — at least, until Waverly went back home to catch up. Along with Waverly, Breeze Berenson, a girl with her own uniquely speedy powers, moved in — and the family that had established itself experienced all the ups and downs that only a family in Deerington could, facing several deaths as well as brutal game events including a mysterious dome, an underwater city, and the actual RMS Titanic. As of Wynonna's entry into Oakhampton, she's still coping with Waverly's recent disappearance from Deerington, as well as an event that saw her becoming the Ultimate Heir and leaning fully into her intense, demon-hunting ways.
Personality: Wynonna Earp is someone who never wanted to be a hero.
She earned herself a reputation as a troublemaker early on as the middle daughter of Ward Earp and Michelle Gibson, and it only got worse from there. Her home life wasn't great, but things took a downturn after her mom left and her dad turned his abuse and drinking up to eleven. Young Wynonna learned very early on to find ways not to rock the boat in the homestead, so cracking jokes and plastering on a convincing smile became one of her methods of covering up the pain over the years, pain that would follow her after her father's death and her older sister's disappearance through at least eight different foster homes and at least three trips to juvie before she bought a one-way bus ticket out of Purgatory. She found ways to rebel at every turn, and while she begrudgingly worked with law enforcement in her later years she tends to have a blatant disregard for authority on the whole.
She can be very non-confrontational, especially when it comes to tackling her emotional problems head-on. She's fully capable of disassociating her feelings for someone from, say, being able to get in their pants, but it's because she likes to think that she doesn't need to tell anyone how much she cares. Why bother being honest about true affection when there's also the risk that they could walk out on you or that you could lose them somehow (especially when so many of her personal stakes these days are literal life-and-death)? She's been betrayed by people she believed she could trust without hesitation countless times over, and that's left her gunshy when it comes to placing her full confidence in someone else, especially in terms of opening her heart and exposing those vulnerabilities. Instead, she buries her emotions all down deep and occasionally sinks into wallowing, depressive episodes, a habit that typically involves a lot of drinking and denial.
The one person who is immune to Wynonna's patterns of emotional avoidance, however, is her little sister Waverly, someone she is fiercely protective of and would undoubtedly sacrifice herself for if there ever was a need. A piece of it stems from her guilt after being away from Purgatory for so many years, essentially leaving Waverly to fend for herself, but the thing about family is that sometimes they offer you forgiveness even when you're convinced you don't deserve it. Forget the indisputable truth that she can be a human shitshow with a drinking problem and a tendency to ruin everything good; Waverly and the rest of Team Earp are worth protecting, and Wynonna may have spent the majority of her past being selfish but these are the people she'd lay down her life for in order to keep safe.
Ultimately, Wynonna Earp still isn't convinced she's much of a hero. She drinks too much. She's hard-headed and stubborn, and once she makes up her mind it can be tough to sway her. She's willing to bend and even sometimes break the rules of what could objectively be considered right and wrong, especially in her more impulsive moments when she lets her emotions get the better of her. She's a verifiable walking disaster, and she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was never meant to be the heir in the first place. But she's the one wielding the big-ass gun now, and she's going to do this shit her way.
Subconscious themes & fears: For a long time, Wynonna's biggest fear was ending up like her own mother — not just ostracized by everyone in Purgatory, because she claims she can handle that part, but dismissed as some crazy bitch who made up stories about resurrected demons to try and shift the blame off herself for killing her own father. (Any reference or off-hand joke about Wynonna being "crazy" still tends to be something of a trigger word for her; she's mostly gotten over it now that she understands the truth of what her mother had really been facing all these years, but it's tough for her not to let it get under her skin.)
Prior to her arrival, the stress that shifted to take its place is everything having to do with the recent arrival of Bulshar, also known as Sheriff Clootie, a.k.a. the demon who first laid down the Earp curse, to begin with. She's already lost one of the greatest men she ever knew in a devastating attack (granted, it was via a bold and brave act of self-sacrifice on his part, but that doesn't mean she'll ever stop blaming herself for it happening in the first place), and the thing that keeps Wynonna up at night is whether she'll be enough: fast enough, smart enough, strong enough to save the people she loves from her greatest enemy and break the curse once and for all, but not for herself — for Alice, the daughter she prays she'll never see it passed on to.
Powers: Wynonna is equipped with certain abilities that have become strengthened due to a combination of her status as the heir and some good ol' fashioned practice. These include:
Wish List:
a Colt Buntline Special, a six-chamber gun with ancient symbols carved on its long barrel, known as "Peacemaker"
this outfit, including the black fringed leather jacket, graphic tee, jeans, a bullet belt, and leather boots
this outfit, which only differs in terms of the tank top and jeans (not the necklace as she's given that away by her canon point)
this outfit, including sunglasses, lace top, bra, heels and leather pants
her old blue-and-white 1992 Ford truck

Powers: Wynonna is equipped with certain abilities that have become strengthened due to a combination of her status as the heir and some good ol' fashioned practice. These include:
- above-average strength: The show has offered varying answers on the degree of this ability, as well as her agility. In the pilot, she was kicking a revenant across a wooded clearing but lands punches much more realistically later on in the series, though she is also implied in a third season episode to have decapitated a revenant with only the use of the chain between a pair of handcuffs. It's more likely that she's acquired some increased strength due to being the heir but is in no way superhuman. For the purposes of the game, this is really the only significant power/ability of hers that could be warped or diminished in the setting, and given that the curse had been broken I'm good with knocking her down to normal human strength.
- marksmanship: Though she's most capable of wielding her semi-trusty gun, Peacemaker, she also possesses a rudimentary knowledge of most firearms and can assemble/fire most basic artillery. (She's still holding out hope that someone will finally let her use a flamethrower on the reg. A girl can dream.)
- close-quarters combat: Thanks to semi-regular training sessions with her late partner, Black Badge Division agent and former Marine Xavier Dolls, Wynonna's pretty good in a fight. She's not exactly a black belt, but she knows basic sparring techniques and has been able to hold her own against foes above her own weight class (even while briefly pregnant).
- wits of steel: When your barbs are as good as your punches, sometimes it's better to wield words than fists (although the latter will definitely work in a pinch, too).
