To Live and Die in the Wild West (Open world Wild West RP)

The sun slowly rises towards the sky, the clouds which filled the sky over the night depart as a light breeze flows through the tough lands of the West. Somewhere a rooster cries, signaling the beginning of a new day. It is another day for outlaws, another day for authorities to track down those outlaws and another day for just the common man, trying to get by without getting in any trouble.

Barrett groaned as the sunlight hit his eyes through the open window, he almost rolled himself off the bed but stopped at the last second. The bounty hunter rolled over once more, stuffing his face in a pillow as he attempted to fall back asleep, not willing to get up yet. He briefly passed out for another five minutes, then sprung up, energized by the quick shot of sleep.

He sat on the matress for a moment, thinking over the last night. He was in a hotel, he thought he had brought a beautiful woman to spend the night with to the hotel with him, but he didn't exactly remember much, he must've had a little too much to drink. He really needed to stop doing that, whenever he wasn't on a bounty, he always ended up drinking.

He rose to his feet, his clothes tossed on the floor in a scattered fashion. He quickly put on his pants, did the belt then put on his socks and boots before glancing at the bed. No sign of anybody else, he blinked then reached under the bed, finding his pistol, fully loaded and ready. He always kept a gun near when he slept, never knew if someone would try something. If someone really wanted to get to him, a locked door would not stop them, a bullet to the chest cavity would though. He stuck the pistol in the holster in his belt, then turned back around to put the rest of his clothes on.

Barrett put his shirt on, doing all of the buttons then found his duster, he threw that on as well. The last things he needed were his hat, shotgun and dagger. He looked next to the nightstand, on the opposite side of his bed. Surely enough, on the floor leaning against the stand was his shotgun and dagger. He grabbed his two final weapons, placing them in place on the appropriate spot on himself. He found his hat on a rack on the wall next to the door. With a final check to make sure he was ready, he grabbed his hat, sticking the fashionable piece comfortably on his head. With that he was out the door and on his way out of the hotel with only a slight hangover from the night before.

I still don't have a partner.

Should I do my IC post anyway? I've been holding it off trying to find a partner.

Username - PolyphemusCharacter Name - Samuel LinNickname - SammyAge - 36Occupation - GamblerGender - MaleHeight - 5'7"Weight - 138Appearance - Lin is a wiry man of Han Chinese descent, with refined facial features and short-cut dark hair. He is short and thin, and often chooses to move very slowly.Clothing - Lin likes suits, typically of light material and color to combat the desert heat. This is complimented by a white straw hat and a very shiny pair of brown leather boots, which he is somewhat vain about.Starting location - Fort HadlySkills - Lin makes his living off gambling, so naturally most of his skills lie in this area. He has a natural talent for reading people, and can usually intuit someone's emotional state or whether or not they're lying. In addition, Lin is also extremely fast and possesses excellent reflexes and reaction time.Weaknesses - While very quick, Lin lacks physical strength, forcing him to depend on flight or the element of surprise in physical encounters. A prolonged fight is not going to end in his favor. In addition, he has the misfortune of being Chinese in a time and place when non-whites were treated very poorly.Weaponry - Lin keeps a ten-inch dagger sheathed safely in his left boot, ready to be drawn in a hurry.Equipment - Lin lives out of a suitcase, usually traveling from town to town by train or coach. His trunk contains:-One deck of playing cards-A backgammon set-Two other suits-A razor-A tin of tooth powder-Comb-Boot polish and brush-Bottle of brandyPersonality - Lin is not averse to taking risks, indeed, his career as a gambler is almost as much about adventure as it is money. He dislikes taking unfair advantage over people, as well as those who do so regularly. An unfair victory is meaningless in his eyes.Biography - Lin and his parents were among the first waves of Chinese immigrants to arrive in the United States to work on the Transcontinental Railroad. What little leisure time he managed during that enormous project was usually spent learning English from native workers- along with games of chance. The idea of gambling appealed to his competitive spirit, and he soon discovered that he possessed a natural talent for it. He was able to make enough money to support himself and still have a little left over for his parents. Eventually, he bought some suits and started wandering the Southwest, in search of a big enough pot and a big enough thrill.Not perfect, I know, had to bang it together real quick. Will refine.

Accepted, welcome to the RP!

Post your character on the sheets thread please.

IC will be up tonight

The Marauders

"Good, I've been getting eager to start the mission, captain." Darius said to Hunt as he walked by him to pick up the supplies. He carried each of the cases onto the shuttle, then placed them down inside the cargo bay. He nestled them in just right so that they wouldn't go flying everywhere if the pilot had to do evasive maneuvers with the shuttle. He quickly checked himself once more, making sure he had everything he needed, then sat down in the passenger bay seat, strapping himself in.

He was the first one on the shuttle other than the pilot, everyone else was either on their way or waiting for the others. Darius personally just wanted to get started. He removed his sniper rifle from the holster on his back, figuring he had enough time to check and maintain the weapon so that it would be ready to fire right away if he needed to shoot someone from afar. He would do the same with his SMG, but he was almost certain they were both ready for combat, it just never hurt to be even more sure.

Character Sheet:Username - HeliosaCharacter Name - Shilah AndersonAge - 26Occupation - Hotel housekeeperGender - Female Height - 5'5Weight - 125 lbsAppearance - Shilah's Navaho blood is apparent in the duskiness of her skin, her ink-black hair and her dark, almond-shaped eyes. She is not lean per se, but is firm with muscles and has a stalwart hourglass figure.Clothing - Shilah typically dresses in a modest gown of sturdy cotton. Her necklines tend to be low enough to show just a hint of cleavage, her sleeves typically end at her elbows, and her skirts always skim the ground. She avoids corsets except for special occasions, and owns only one.Starting location - Buffalo GulchSkills - Eavesdropping on important conversations, reading, writing, long range shooting though she is no expert, and domestic tasks like cooking and sewing, Weaknesses - Any sort of close combat, witnessing any form of cruelty towards animals or childrenWeaponry - Spencer rifleEquipment - A chest in her quarters containing a few dresses, an expensive gold pocket-watch hidden in a book with a false interior, three classic literature novels, two pairs of worn boots, her rifle and an assortment of cheap jewelry and hair accessories. Situated on her bedside table is a bottle of witch hazel, a jar of cold cream, a small pot of rouge, a chipped hand mirror, and a wide-brimmed straw hat embellished with a maroon ribbon.Personality - Shilah is alert, curious, and while she's usually soft-spoken she enjoys making a witty remark now and then. She appreciates humor and kindness above all things, making her rather unusual in a setting like Buffalo Gulch. However, she has no qualms about putting a hole through somebody's knee (from a distance) if that's what absolutely needs to be done, or if she firmly believes they deserve it.Biography - Growing up on a Navaho reservation in New Mexico did not provide Shilah with the most joyful childhood. Her mother raised Shilah on her own, and made no mention of her father. Shilah only knew that he was an affluent proprietor of a handful of oil fields. And of course, he was white. Shilah's mother never told her the circumstances surrounding her birth, and Shilah never felt the need to ask. Growing tired of the reservation's destitute monotony, Shilah decided to strike out on her own with whatever meager funds she had earned working as a shopkeeper's assistant. Her mother's uncle, a saloon worker in Buffalo Gulch, found Shilah a job as a housekeeper at the less seedy of its two hotels. Shilah accepted, despite the the town being of extreme ill-repute, because her paltry savings would not afford her a life in most other places. Though she is not conventionally beautiful, Shilah's exotic features sometimes draw unwanted attention, especially at an establishment where the guests were a dangerous mix of crass, brash and aggressive. Because of this, Shilah tries to draw as little attention to herself as possible, and she's good at it. Shilah does not enjoy the drudgery of her work but she has a keen interest in the various hotel guests, especially the ones who look more adventurous than usual. Given her penchant for eavesdropping on the conversation of the typically unsavory characters frequenting the hotel, Shilah has extensive knowledge of the going on's of Buffalo Gulch.

Accepted, welcome to the RP! Alot of people starting off in Buffalo Gulch, should be interesting to see in the IC.

Post your character on the sheets thread please.

Speaking of the IC, I'll have it up by sometime tommorow.

I added a bounty list to the OP. Some NPCs those interested can hunt and bring to justice for cash payment.

Username: riurikName: Terrance BrennenCurrent alias: Doctor Johnathan StoneAge: 32Occupations: con, cheat, quack, liar, scoundrel and general shady characterGender: ManHeight: 5' 9"Weight: 150Starting Location: Gold Springs, or the Land of Easy MarksSkills: As a con man, he is an expect at lying, cheating (including stacking a deck), bluffing, and general deception. He's a decent pickpocket and has some practice with safe-cracking.Weaknesses: He's not handy with a horse or rifle. When it comes to conning women (especialy into bed) Terrance often over plays his hand, and flubs whatever lie he's spinning. In a fist fight, Terrance relies on dirty tactics and trickery over actual fighting ability. He likes to avoid combat whenever he can.Weaponry: Bulldog revolver and a knife.Equipment: deck of cards (plus a few extra aces...), regular dice, loaded dice, bag of pseudo-medical mumbo-jumbo, pair of fake glassesPersonality: Terrance does a little of everything and anything to make a buck. He's crazy like a fox and has smarm in spades. Selfish and self-absorbed doesn't begin to characterize him; he'll do just about anything for his own gain. Perhaps the one crime he doesn't endulge in is murder; he hates the mess. Outwardly, however, he appears very charming and cultured.Biography: Doctor Johnathan Stone, Terrance's current alias, was purported to be the son of a wealthy Southern gentleman of high esteem. The Civil War left Dr. Stone penniless, landless, and homeless. Having already gotten a medical degree, Dr. Stone left for the new West.In reality, Terrance was the son of a poor farmer from Kentucky. He was orphaned at a young age. He worked on riverboats as a youth, and slowly learned that lying was easier than hard work. In his latest racket, he pawns off supposedly medical cures for any and all ailments, but only if the victim, er, pactient isn't planning on staying in Gold Springs long.

Mighty kind of you'surIf I may make a request...since Sweetwater is pretty much centrally located on the map, could a Federal Courthouse be added?.

Well we do need one of those, I'll add it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you. I was thinking the offspring of some Chinese railroad workers- American by birth, but still the victim of racism and prejudice.

There would definitely by racism towards him, nothing extreme like a lynch mob, but still racism.
