A Drifter Supreme

Alright so we remember Jr and Sr. Grade drifters right? Hope so. Same kick here. The last in the drifter ranks: A Drifter Supreme. Because of the extreme force of character of the Drifter Supreme, only very few can exist at the same time let alone the same place. Although both highly respected and successful, Two major factors separate the Drifter Senior Grade (DSG) from the Drifter Supreme (DS). First the drifter supreme works for no man. Although he might hone his skills under the tutelage of another, he isn’t the shogunate’s loyal retainer running errands. Hirori Hanzo and Robocop, for example, both were amazing Battousai (manslayers) but neither played by their own music. The Zatoichi (blind swordsman) however was a Drifter Supreme. No home, no master, (no eyes even)… full on freakin’ Ronin. Second, the Drifter Supreme’s character must be so outstanding and unique that mere mention of his name stops men’s hearts. His greatness of character is such that the name itself is forever transformed. If you’re accend to the rank DS, your first name is essentially retired, never to be used again. Consider the following:

Magellian
Ernesto
Hunter
Ernest (not the one scared stupid)
Jack
Anakin/Luke/Han
Jesus
Marco.......Polo!!
Simon (pronounced /Sea-moan/
Victor
Jimi
Walt (not Disney)
Teddy
Mad Max
Karl (not Rove)
Neo
Musashi
Sidhartha
Bob (both Dylan and Marley)
Mario and Luigi


Hallowed ground. Hallowed ground.

I’m reluctant to do this but I’ll give it a try.

Level of Bad-ass-itude
Highest. You’ve transcended badassitude.

Toys
Once you die everything you own is in a museum or a church.

Clothes
Either an astetic robes (prophets) or worn out dusty old jeans (Jack, Walt, Che)

Car
If you drive it’s in The Great White Shark, but most DSs are such drifters that they just walk. Or they were born before cars.

Chicks
Chicks are all over the place for the DS. They defiantly seek out unique women like Mary Magnalin, Princess Leia, and “The” Princess. Some DSs have huge sex drives, (Ernest, Jimi, Marley) some none (Sidhartha)

Worries
The DS has one primary worry that defines his life. It’s usually the Devil (Jesus, Hunter), Salvation of man/ending of suffering is also a talking point (Sidhartha, Jesus, Marley), and last but not least class warfare (Jesus, Karl, Ernesto, Dylan)

Vacation time
I don’t think this applies!

Drugs
two bags of Grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.... also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. (Hunter, Jimi, Jack)

Or Wine (Jesus, Dylan, Jack)

Or

Straight edge (Sidhartha)

Politics
Bleeding heart liberals (all of them)

Religions
…are based on them.

Friends
Disciples, beatniks, Rastafarinians, “the critics”, Communists. Not Romans.
