Origins (Back Story)

Born an orphan, from a young age Zapata was employed as a field worker at a Plantation, where like every other worker, was indebted to the land lord, rendering him a dept slave. The feudal system that had blackmailed Zapata to a life of work, deprived him of a decent wage, with no family to care for, he viewed himself as a lost cause.
Due to a mid-life crisis in the form of a brake down, Zapata fled the plantation, taking Burro with him. He headed for the land of opportunity, Texas. Once there he quickly came to the realisation that Texas was as corrupt as Mexico, his dream to seek a better life was abolished. Unfortunately due to racist social views, no one would hire him, so to survive he turned to a life of crime.
Now a bandit, Zapata and Burro roam between Mexico and Texas in search of wealth, adventure and an ultimate purpose. His attempts to heist fortune, big or small, is a risky business. With little to no gunslinger skills, his tactics lead him awkward situations, encountering a large array of characters who reflect the law, entertainment, science and the black market.
