[color=ed1c24][b]Work in Progress[/b][/color] (Be alert for changes if this RP interests you.) Welcome to the Wild West. Here on the frontier women are second class citizens. They lack any real rights. Women who engage in improper behavior are shunned by polite society. But, a few laws have been passed that allow women to do things like own land. The Homestead Act of 1862 did that. For the most part women are limited to the lobs they can have. This RP will introduce a group of women who try to live among polite society, but may come from questionable backgrounds. (I would avoid having a criminal record to start out.) I have not yet decided whether these ladies will take on a role as a gang … or that of regulators - ie local law. Or they could become bounty hunters. Or maybe they will be ben on revenge for the sake of a friend. (Maybe one of you had your ranch attacked. If the story is good enough we can build a plot around it.) I already have two characters developed - one a teacher (and a damned good gunslinger of she must be - though she has never killed). The other is a veterinarian and doctor to undesirables - the people across the river … ie blacks, hispanics, etc. The town doctor is a hack who served in the Confederacy and is also the dentist and barber. (My doctor also knows how to cut hair and yank teeth - but has no business license for the town.) I have not decided upon the exact location and year for this RP, but I do try to stick to historical fact as much as I can. I am most familiar with the regions of Holbrook, AZ and Albuquerque, ca 1871 to 1880. This is before the railroad comes through. The railroad reached Albuquerque in 1880 or 1881 (I forget exactly when at the moment.) [color=f7941d][b]Characters[/b][/color] Each character will need a CS Each member of the group should post their CS’s in a single post. Use a Hider=Character Name for each one. I am not picky about the format, but a sample is included below. I have problems looking at animated gifs. (Bad eyes.) If you can avoid them, it will help. [Hider=blank CS] (Picture) Full Name: Gender: Female Age: Job Rank/Title (if any) Physical Appearance Personality and Interests Background Favorite Sayings Main Horse’s Breed (optional) Main Horse’s Name Indian Tribe (if none please but "no indian tribe") [/hider] While Romance is checked, it is not necessary. However, the group is allowed to create some male NPC's. I do ask that they be reasonably historically accurate. I also have 18+ checked. All members must be at least that old. (Their character can be a tad younger, but we need to observe modern ethics and not get too carried away.) Naturally as this will be in a forum, we need to observe fade to black rules as well.
