Ronald James McCleary
Description
Ronnie has the kind of presence that fills a room without a word. Built like a slab of concrete in a leather coat, he’s rarely seen without his signature toothpick and cold stare. He wears plain clothes—denim jacket, worn boots, sometimes a chain—but carries himself like a general. He doesn’t yell to get respect; people quiet down when he walks in. His voice is low and gravelly, and every word counts. He doesn’t like speeches—just results.Personality
Ronnie is strong-willed, unflinching, and brutally honest. He respects strength, loyalty, and silence. To him, trust is currency—and most people are broke. He doesn’t bluff. When Ronnie says something, you’d better believe he means it. He hates drama, hates liars more, and only tolerates violence if it gets things done.Habits
Always chews on a toothpick—he stops only when he’s about to hit someone Cracks his knuckles before any confrontation, verbal or physical Spends late nights at the scrapyard, alone, drinking black coffee Keeps an old metal baseball bat in the trunk of his car—calls it “the persuader”Hooks & Angles
Boss of the Bulls: Ronnie runs the Backyard Bulls like a tight ship, but some of his younger guys are getting reckless. He's not one to ask for help, but he knows when he’s outnumbered. War Veteran: He fought overseas in WWII. Some say he brought something back with him—something that makes the dogs bark when he walks by. Respect Earned: He has no love for Joe Bagels or the CPD, but if someone earns his respect, he’ll back them to the grave. Boiling Point: Ronnie keeps it all locked up tight—his past, his pain, his rage. But when he finally snaps, it won’t be small.
