The Sandy Rose Saloon

NAME— "Lady" Rampinella Raphaela Rose (Lady Rose to strangers, Rose or Ella to her friends)
AGE— 26
GENDER— Female
OCCUPATION— Proprietor of the Sandy Rose Saloon
BIO— Lady Rose arrived in Sand Flats at the tender age of sixteen as part of a traveling circus. She caught the eye of the then-proprietor of the Sandy Rose, charming her way into his heart as part of the showgirl chorus at the time, and one night he jokingly said she deserved to run the place with a name like that. She got ideas, and better than that, she had plans. After staying in town for two weeks with the circus, she managed to charm her way into the heart of the old, childless man, and three years later when he finally bit the dust, she swept in with a copy of his will naming her the new owner of the Sandy Rose. Needless to say, that caused quite the scandal.

Now, ten years later, Lady Rose has (mostly) wormed her way into the fabric of small town society, especially those who frequent her saloon, the only one in town. Not only is she the proprietor, but frequently participates in the weekly shows she puts on. She's a shoulder to cry on or a rump to gaze after for many, but few people know the real Rose under the flirty wink and cheeky smile. No one knows who her parents were, why she joined the circus (or left it, for that matter), or if that's even her real name.
PERSONALITY—
Rose is, when you first meet her, incredibly charming. It's been her livelihood since she was twelve; she can charm the socks off a grizzled old cowboy if you give her enough time. She's beautiful, she's confident, and she uses both of those things to her advantage—not to mention she controls your liquor. She's raunchy, crass, and sarcastic; who knows if there's anything different underneath the show she presents to the world?
TALENTS—

• charming; looks good in just about anything
• good liar
• excellent gambler, likely to cheat
• agile, due to her circus background
• good horsewoman; she can still pull off some circus tricks~
• master of throwing knives; she was the knife girl in the circus
• can hold her liquor; she runs a saloon, for god's sake

FLAWS—

• has alienated 99% of the religious people in town
• can throw a punch, but beyond that she's useless in a hand-to-hand fight
• can shoot a pistol, but not well, and any other firearms are beyond her
• pretty damn greedy; always looking to make an extra buck
• somewhat...lax morals
• physically weaker than most men

The Sandy Rose Saloon

Find yourself in dire straits? Looking to drown your sorrows? Need a place to rest your head, or just a moment to put up your feet?
Lady Rose has a place for you!
Gambling - Music - Drink - And More!

★★★★★

Alright, now that that little segue is done with, welcome to a wild west RP! On the menu are:

• a trip through the western town of Sand Flats!
• a bustling saloon that really only comes alive after dark!
• countless character options—lawmen, cowboys, outlaws, gamblers, drifters, miners, ranch hands; the list goes on!
• opportunities for intrigue! Is there truly gold under the Flats, or is that a pipe dream? Is the river ever going to flow again, or has the bed dried up once and for all? Is a new band of outlaws moving in, and what exactly is the sheriff going to do about it?

RULES

• You must APPLY with your character sheet before joining the IC!
• NO GODMODDING. You should all know what this is by now, and just how annoying it can get.
• Adding plot twists can be within reason, but with major changes you MUST consult with the other parties affected first, i.e. if a character is going to be killed or a secret they share is going to be revealed
• Keep the drama IC, please, and remember that just because a character is mean to you, doesn't mean the player hates you. The reverse is also true: don't slap a bitch IC just because you dislike someone OOC.
• Let's try to keep this at least semi-realistic, alright? If you get shot and don't get help pretty quick, you're probably going to die. Soz
• I'd like to keep this high-casual, i.e. a paragraph at least per post. There are some exceptions to this, obviously, like in action sequences, but most of the time I'd like to stick to that standard.
• ~*~have fun and be yourself~*~

Sand Flats Map

(observe my glorious mspaint skills)
If you'd like to claim a house, put it in your character sheet under 'occupation'! If you'd like me to add a building, just comment in this thread :)
INFO:

• Sand Flats Mine is currently derelict; no one is running it, no one is mining it, but there are rumors of glimmers of gold in the depths...
• Redwater River is currently nothing more than a dry bed. The town isn't in crisis just yet, but the ranches around it are nervously watching the skies for rain...
• Most stores have living quarters for the owners above the public spaces; i.e, the butcher lives above their shop, the general store proprietor lives above theirs, Lady Rose sleeps in the attic of her own saloon, etcetera etcetera
• Unless there's a conflict with land claims, for the sake of speeding the RP along, I'll say they're automatically accepted, just stake your claim OOC first!
