The year is 1883, the notorious outlaw Jesse James was gunned down almost a year ago. Nearly a year before his death, Billy the Kid was killed. Despite the death of these two famous criminals the outlaw lifestyle is still idolized by many wanna be desperadoes. More and more people seem to be taking up their guns and embarking on a life of crime.

Ranchers herd their cattle to rivers to drink, bandits ransack trains, rob banks, topple carriages and steal horses, bounty hunters then track down these outlaws and bring them to justice. Any man can make a living here, only if of course they have the necessary skills to avoid being shot in the back and tossed in a shallow grave in the middle of nowhere.

The area near the border to Mexico will be the focus of this storyline. The quiet town of Soursprings, home to a few hundred simple-folk. Unbeknownst to its residents the town will clash with a band of renegade outlaws, their list of crimes almost as long as the list corpses they've created. A group of makeshift bounty hunters is organized to chase down the outlaws. Someone has to put a stop to them...

Welcome to the Wild West.

  • Keep the romance PG-13. Fade to black or take to messages any explicit romantic scenes.
  • This is a casual level roleplay. No one liners and try to have at least one solid paragraph per IC post. More is always great.
  • Roleplay in third person.

@King Tai Nope. Gatling guns are very heavy and one person wouldn't carry them around. A coach gun would be fine and their commonplace throughout the Old West.

I'm trying to keep it pretty realistic. There's nothing wrong with a classic revolver or rifle, gunshots are pretty deadly in this time of poorer medical teaching.

@Blue Demon Maybe an older Civil War veteran that came west? It ended in 1865 so your character could be in his early to mid forties. Could be an interesting character depending on which side they were on.

Hahaha, I was planning on having my character's husband die in the war. We really are a batch of like-minded individuals. :)

I'm creating a former confederate soldier who happened to own slaves. I'm sure they'll get along awesomely.

One of my big hopes for this RP was that the character cast would be varied. You all seem to be right on track with that which is fantastic.

@HeatWould you be adverse to a Chinese immigrant who moved West to escape the hardships and prejudice that the Chinese community experienced? Maybe even with a white lady because they fell in love against the anti-miscegenation laws. Which were really harsh and they have too keep their relationship on the down low?
