Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

Now we just need to wait for voldemort, although I'm not sure where he's gone.

Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

I'll be busy tonight. Expect work from midnight and I by Friday night or Saturday.

@Exit

Sounds painful. Don't rush, though. Take as much time as you need.

Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

@Fairess Thank you for fleshing out the bounty hall for me. Really appreciate it.

@Lord of Evil

Here's my CS. It took a little more time than I thought, but it's finally done:

Thania Langston

Thania Evereth Langston

"What? Do you think that just because I look like this I can can't put a bullet between your eyes from a hundred meters away? If you wanna try your luck, rest assured. I know a very good mortician."

Name: Thania Evereth Langston.
Race: Human.
Height: 154 cm.
Weight: 42 kg.
Age: 17 years.
Occupation: Explorer/Bounty Hunter.

Appearance:
Thania is a bit on the sort side, being barely above five feet and weighing less than your typical grain sack. She doesn't look all that intimidating as well, her small, round face, green eyes, silky skin and fairly light blond hair actually make her look a year or so younger than her declared age, which maybe problematic sometimes, but in a lawless land such as the Frontier, usually isn't. At least her body developed a decently feminine figure, she may not have the most curvaceous silhouette but, she still has room to grow. One can only think how much of a beauty Thania will be once she finishes maturing.

Personality:
Thania is quite serious. She tends to avoid slacking off as much as she can and will spare none of sharp witted remarks when she thinks they are being lazy or lame. She tries to behave in a logical and proper way but her lack of experience causes her to blunder more than she would like to, rendering her seriousness moot, especially when dealing with cute things like children and small animals. When pointed her mistakes, Thania can shift to a more temperamental behavior. Using violence to fix things is not beyond as well.

History:
Owing to her age, Thania's story is not that big, though it's also not very known as well, since she rarely talks about her past with anyone. The most credited theory is that Thania is the daughter of a well-to-do, perhaps noble, family of the main land that has ran away from home for a reason that might vary from avoiding an arranged marriage to being guilty of an unspeakable crime. Either way, the end result is always the same. Thania arrived on the Frontier with little but the clothes on her back and golden pocket watch and has managed to make a living for herself as an explorer and bounty hunter, making some interesting associates and acquaintances along the way. News of the Wishing Star interest Thania not because she has a wish that she would like to see fulfilled but, because they mean more opportunities of work for her.

Combat

Weapons:
Thania's primary weapon is a ten-shots, lever-action rifle, customized for precision shooting; it can accept nearly any kind of conventional ammunition, though the range and precision vary wildly between different types of cartridges. Thania carries around quickloaders to make out the most of the weapon's potential. Her main side arm is a small caliber revolver but she also has three knives, one of which she keeps concealed, just in case.

Armour:
What use armor has when any jerk with a gun can shoot you through it? Thania's usual getup are short, sleeveless, suspender dresses that help her fight of the harsh climate of the Frontier. She usually wears then along with simple, puffy, short-sleeved dress shirts, an undershirt (to keep her outer shirt from showing anything unintentionally), a leather corset (both for support and to add some extra shape for her figure) and cravat. When outside, Thania also puts on a long sleeved, high-collar, waistcoat and sturdy gloves to protect her arms and hands. Thania's typical footwear tend to be sturdy looking thigh high boots. She wears a lots of accessories, most of them with practical function, as belts, pouches and bandoliers, plus a golden pocket watch attached to a waist chain. As a last touch of practical girlishness, Thania keeps her hair away from her eyes with a tiara decorated with a metallic adornment that looks like a butterfly's wing. For log travels Thania dons an overcoat, to protect her from the many hazards of the Frontier.

Magic:
As far as it's known, Thania has no skill with any form of magic at all.

Skills:
Thania is an adroit explorer and sharpshooter, with a cunning to outside of the box thinking and problem solving. While she's no engineer, Thania can work with simple gizmos as wel as do repair and maintenance on most types of guns. Thania is very literate and a fast reader, indicating a fairly high education, but won't talk much about that, like everything else regarding her past.

Fighting style:
As expected Thania prefers a more calculated approach to fighting, picking targets one at a time based on their apparent weaknesses. Her optimal range of fighting is between 20 and 100 meters, where she can use her reflexes and memory to the best, delivering accurate shots in rapid succession.

Miscellaneous

Inventory:
Thania keeps basic stocks of food and water, as well as at least a couple bottles of high quality whiskey. She has that last one mostly because of its high alcohol content, which makes it an useful in number of ways. Thania also has some basic general usage tools and implements for maintenance of her guns (including a kit to reload spent cartridges). Other than these few notable items, all of which can be packed in a backpack as well as her pouches and pockets, Thania's possessions are only mundane things, like a spare changes of clothes, perfume, soap, some rope (because you can never have enough rope), cooking utensils, etc. She seems to always have some form of candy on her person and is rarely seen without some of it on her mouth, even then, Thania brushes her teeth regularly (she carries around sodium bicarbonate both for this and for baking), so Thania's teeth are pristine.

Money:
Around 150 gold, most of which is in the form of silver and copper, to make small businesses easier.

@KoL

Looks fine to me. That's about all I can say, she's quite well balanced, so consider your sheet accepted.

Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

@Lord of Evil
That, my dear friend, is a tab. It's a thing meant to be used for informal writing, and thus, I apply it here. As with putting two spaces after periods and colons. This is what happens when you take three years of typing classes.

EDIT: Phones don't have them.

@Mega Birb

Alright, it's kind of annoying but I don't really care that much.

Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

@Lord of Evil
Alright. *Quietly shelves the idea of a cavalier*

@Mega Birb

What's that weird space before the sentence?

Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

@Lord of Evil
Oh, yeah, I've gotta ask: Is there an enforced character limit? Because I noticed a lack of people with access to horses.

EDIT: Correction, horse-based combat.

@Mega Birb

Technically, yeah. I want 1 per person, for now. The horse thing won't matter that much, honestly.

@Senera2000@Exit@TheWindel@Mega Birb@MidnightRose@Fairess

First post is up. Do whatever you think your character should be doing, I want a good idea of where everyone will be. Yes, there are services other than what I mentioned in the post, ask me for whatever you're looking for and I'll tell you if it's there.

There's also a library in Dust, by the way.

@KoL (and @RawrEspada4 if you're not rip in kill), finish those sheets already

I hope you all went to sleep just now because I'm gonna disappear for a bit since I just replaced a bed and my lack of exercise is starting to get to me.

Wishing Star - A Frontier Adventure

Dust, a name that used to mean nothing to all but a few select people. To those that settled down in these barren lands, the current state of Dust has grown beyond their imagination, but the Wishing Star boom brought more than just growth to the city.

The morning sun shone brightly down on the wooden town as the people of dust walked the streets, their steps on the unpaved roads flicking dust onto their shoes. People emerged from the inns and hotels and went on their way. A loud whistle heralded the coming of the Iron Tom, a great machine of transport built by Yaroi ingenuity, as it thundered on its tracks. Steam billowed from its metal chimney as it pulled into Dust Station. The hulking locomotive drew to a stop at the platform and dozens of people swarmed into the station. Shop fronts opened their doors for strangers and citizens alike, with store clerks adding the last bit of polish to their store. Street vendors opened their carts, spreading the tantalising smell of local treats through the air. The street vendors began hollering at the new arrivals and Dust’s day officially begun.

The streets got busier as people arrived from elsewhere. Some arrived into the town on horseback, some on foot. Some came in groups, though many came alone. There were many famous faces, though if one looked closely there were also many infamous ones. The Wishing Star attracted the desperate, particularly criminals who had nowhere else to turn to. Many sought the frontier to escape from their pasts, believing that they could find a fresh start. Many of those people would not be caught as the frontier belongs to no one. Settlements in the frontier fall under the laws of the countries they are owned by, and those countries typically create bounties for certain individuals or groups. Dust itself has a fully functioning bounty hall which lies under the jurisdiction of the Sola kingdom, and some Solan bounty hunters stay in Dust just to catch their country’s criminals before they can make it out of town.

But criminals and bounty hunters weren’t the only people to enter Dust. There were many kinds of people that went there; tourists, explorers, wealthy and poor alike. Merchants often used Dust as a resting point on their way to Ironsong, eating at small roadside eateries and buying supplies from stores dealing in general goods. People who wanted to buy specialty goods moved away from the main street, into the rest of the town. Some merchants went to the bounty hall as it doubled as an area for mercenaries to find work.

On this particular morning, there were many people navigating Dust, all of whom had their own stories. In particular, an oddly upbeat old man accompanied by a rather young man exited the Sleeping Bear, the single hotel of the town (@LordVoldemort, that’s you and me buddy). Their clothes showed the wear of their travels but the aging explorer was spirited and bright, his steps brimming with zeal from a good night’s sleep.
“Top of the morning, Gabriel, my boy!” He said jubilantly. “I trust you’ve had a rather satisfactory sleep after our recent misfortunes.”

The old man stretched his thin arms over his head, yawning as he did. His grey moustache twitched as he wrinkled his nose and his mouth formed a triumphant smile.
“I suppose it would be wise to secure some provisions in light of our, ah… more unfortunate escapades…” The old man said to his companion.
The pair had used up a large portion of their provisions to ward off a pack of wolves. The frontier roads were dangerous, after all, and it’d been a harrowing trip with just the 2 of them.
“But perhaps a good breakfast is in order.” The old man said. “What say you, my boy? Shall we grab a bite first or get to business?”
