I haven't run any RP in some time, so I thought I'd try to get back into it by trying out an idea I've been thinking about for some time.

The year is 1896, Paradise, a town in Arizona couldn't fit its name any less, has been plagued by all sorts of unholy beings, it started many years ago when reports of people wandering aimlessly around the graveyards began to spring up, soon enough when people went to check on what was happening at the grave sites, they disappeared.
Later on more strange reports came, reports of cattle being found torn in two, or simply having their blood completely drained, reports of strange women chanting and performing rituals in the forest, so on and so forth until things became too much...
The mayor of Paradise, along with the town preacher, have sent out a plea for anyone fit to wield a gun to come to paradise to help with their problem, with the promise of payment, they're sure plenty of fortune seekers would be willing to put themselves in harms way to assist.

Pretty simple concept, but there will be room for plenty of action and character development. Your character finds out about Paradise' need for hired guns, and they come to get a reward.
Setting will be your typical late old west style Eastwood esque locale, I'm willing to allow some freedom with what your character can do, and what they use, this RP does have supernatural elements after all.
I'll take into consideration any ideas that people have.

Personality:

Equipment:
Abilities/Disadvantages:

Creatures(so far):
Witches - Practitioners of black magic, most are fairly harmless, sticking to their covens and not bothering normal people, but some use their power for unspeakable evil. Potentially high threat.
Fed Vampires - These types of vampires are usually found in European castles, but some have migrated to richer parts of the US, there are a few in Paradise but they usually stick to themselves, drinking animal blood, but they are willing to harm people for richer blood, if gone unchecked they might feel brave enough to attack townspeople. Low threat
Starved Vampires - These poor souls have been starved of blood for too long, their natural insticts have begun to take over, and their forms are more animalistic, they still retain some intelligence but they will attack anything with blood on sight. High threat
Zombies - Dead humans who have been reanimated by dark magic, they hunger for human flesh and will do anything to obtain it, most just shamble around their grave sites, but when they get together it can result in a horde forming, getting rid of a zombie horde can be extremely dangerous and difficult. Medium threat
Werewolves - Humans who have been bitten by another werewolf, werewolves can walk around in the days as normal humans, but during full moons they change into monstrous creatures capable of ripping a man in two. Very high threat
Spirits - Souls of the dead who linger around the earth, they cannot be removed by physical force, most aren't aware of humans, but an angry spirit can be extremely dangerous. Medium threat
Succubi - Demonic entity that prays on a persons sexual appetite, once a succubus has chosen prey they will in essence take the soul of their victim and damn them to eternal servitude. High threat

I think I'll make a marksman to contrast Ahabs' character.

A Winchester rifle and a Colt Walker .44

I wonder if it's okay if I put Indians/Native Americans in my CS.

It IS the wild west-ish time era, I think, in this RP...

It's on the tail end of that era but yes, go for it.

Since you guys mentioned Native-Americans, I am actually thinking of playing one.

Well...he would have all the ingredients of a gunslinger but he would be a native.

Will do, soon.

Is it okay if I make a Sheriff or Marshal?
I'm thinking of Marshal, as sheriff has more responsibility than a marshal.

Or maybe I'll make a deputy to another character if someone else decides to make a marshal/sheriff.

I'm interested, but just a tad bit confused. Are we only allowed to play as a townsperson, or can we also be one of the supernatural beings?

The only reason I say that is no one else has expressed wanting to play a supernatural being, and I would have thought that would be the more popular kind of character.

Hm, that's a good question, I'm open to the idea of someone playing a supernatural character, as long as they're a part of the posse of regular characters.
