The Ghost Rider

The Ghost Rider. A legendary hero of the Waste, one of the few heroes it actually has to its name. He is said to roam the sands nonstop on his snow-white mount, dealing justice to evildoers and outlaws. It's said he's like a ghost. Bullets just pass right through him, and even when he seems to fall he just appears once again, riding as hard as ever. But in reality the character of the Ghost Rider is a cleverly designed fake, made to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers and give hope to the people of the Waste.

Physical Description

Apparel & Accessories

The Ghost Rider's features are always hidden under a black bandanna and hat. The only part of the face exposed is the area around the eyes, and even those are covered by black tinted glasses. The Ghost Rider's body is similarly disguised, with a baggy and billowing black cloak and clothing. This clothing serves two purposes, both making the Ghost Rider appear larger, resulting in more misses as the bullets hit only cloth, and disguising the Ghost Rider's body and build. This disguise has allowed many different people to play the part of the Ghost Rider without any significant change to his appearance. Even though the Ghost Rider was originally male, and is believed to be male by the people, he has been played by as many Hunt sisters, wives, and daughters as by brothers, husbands and sons. While the Ghost Rider's apparel has been constant through the years, his arsenal, on the other hand, has changed between the many people who have played him. He has wielded rifles, revolvers, shotguns, knives, and even a sword at one point(it didn't last long). Lastly, he is never found without his trusty ivory-white sandmount companion, Pearl.

Personal history

The first Ghost Rider was a man named Earl Hunt, a lone vigilante who sought to right the wrongs of the Waste and end the reigns of its great criminals. Donning a black cloak, hat, and bandanna, he rode the white-scaled sandmount passed down to him from his father onto the sands and began his long campaign against evil. Surprisingly, he was actually quite successful in this endeavor, and obtained quite a large fortune from bounties. 
Slowly, he began to build his legend. Rumors spread, some originating from him, about how he wasn't quite human. The way he seemed to appear out of thin air, with just his mount, no railtrain in sight(actually just clever planning and a well-hidden train). How bullets just passed right through him, actually just a combination of a whole lot of fabric covering a rather thin frame, and thick metal plating under his cloak. People began to believe that he really was a ghost, a vengeful spirit back from the dead to punish evildoers.
But Earl knew that he was no ghost, just a mortal man. But he knew how the Ghost Rider made outlaws shiver in their boots, how it made the people hopeful for a better tomorrow. One day he would fall, but the Ghost Rider didn't have to. He wasn't the only one who knew the true nature of his job. While the people around him thought that he was just a jobless layabout, his brother knew of his true nature, and he wanted to help. And so, Wilson Hunt began training to become the next Ghost Rider.
And so, one day as the Ghost Rider was pursuing Red-Eye Leroy and his gang the Tooth-Bashers, a lucky shot struck him in the head and he fell to the Sands. But the outlaws' cheering was cut short when the seemingly-fallen Ghost Rider came around from a nearby wastebone, alive and healthy. So terrified was the gang that they surrendered right then and there. And that encounter only strengthened belief in the Ghost Rider as a supernatural force, combating evil.
From that day, a family tradition was born. When Wilson fell, his son Jamie took up the mantle, and when he fell his sister Augusta took his place. And so, the Hunts became the Ghost Rider. Each one trained to take up the role when their turn came. Some refused it, but most were proud to contribute to the Waste's safety by becoming the beacon of hope that is the Ghost Rider.
