Remember the Name

The American West, 1870

Mr. Coulson looked up in the gunman's eyes. It was not hate, fear, nor anger that filled his gaze, but a coldness that gripped the armed man before him. A grin stretched over his face and he chose his final words.

"Coulson... remember the name..."

Story and Characters
The Gunman @Andreyich: The Gunman has recently shot and killed Bill Coulson, a homesteader, for whatever reason. In order to escape the persecution of the law he flees into the vast, untamed frontier of the American West.
The Seeker @TJByrum: Dan Coulson, son of Bill Coulson, is known as 'the Seeker'. Dan finds his father murdered and sets out to find and exact vengeance on the Gunman. Dan is a crack shot marksman who earned a fearsome reputation fighting for the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

The Gunman must interact with NPC's and the environment to collect information that might help him on his westward escapade. For the most part, he should keep moving from one region to the next, but there may be things he might want to learn or accomplish in the current region first. Alone, and without ample help, he will not be able to beat the Seeker in a gunfight. Eventually he will need to find a way to outsmart, outdo, and outnumber the Seeker. The RP ends when at least one character is killed, though they may both die as well, assuming they cannot resolve their differences.
