otherways - other!MacGyver bio

[angus_macgyver]

* He's the MacGyver from canon!Mac's "old west" dreams. He's got the bushy mustache and the floppy hat; that odd manner of speech with the 'cowboy'-like accent and he's slightly sepia-toned all the time.

* He's not at all modern, so he doesn't know about cars and computers and fancy things like that; he knows nothing of vampires or angels or wizards - 'cept what folks tell in stories; he's just an ordinary guy trying to keep his ranch running - though he can't seem to find the thing now (once he's in Milliways, that is).

* Milliways is where MacGyver lives when canon!Mac isn't dreaming about being him.

* He's never been to the bar before, because he didn't exist until canon!Mac dreamed him up in the episode "Serenity"; however, canon!Mac did dream up a little bit of backstory for the guy - (other!)MacGyver has just finished with the Army, gave his gun to a fellow traveller and received a multi-bladed knife the man made in exchange. So, he's an ex-soldier who fought in the Civil War (War Between the States, whatever you wanna call it) and he's moved to Serenity to start over; just working his ranch and being himself.

* He comes to Milliways just after the dream events of the episode "Serenity": he has his ranch; he's faced off against (dream)Murdoc and he now gets along all right with the Sherriff (Deputy, Mayor, whoever) of the town; he's a 'fix it' man, helping out where he can and just 'invents' stuff from whatever's lying around. (Feel free to have pups leave things in visible places that MacGyver would find interesting and put to use in some 'new-fangled contraption'.)

* Mostly, Milliways will just look like a bar to him and he'll only be able to leave when canon!Mac is dreaming about living in the old west, so MacGyver will spend a bit of time wondering where the hell his ranch is and being a little intimidated by the 'magical' bar.
