The Book of Bleeding Kansas

Cat had been traveling for some time now, and had paused to rest. It was only by an odd providence that she paused her small carriage by the side of this particular field. The schooner was a small affair, just enough to house some of her wares and the bags she tended to carry with her. As she took off her wide-brim hat and wiped her brow, her freckled face turned to take a look at the field. It was then that she noticed the red stains that were soaking into the dirt. Her eyes widened, and she leaped off the wagon seat and moved into the field itself.

"Tarnations...?" she muttered. Her green eyes scanned the area, looking to see if there was anyone else. It was then that she heard the shot, and jumped. Her hand went to her thigh, where she felt, underneath her skirt, underskirt, and numerous other undergarments, the small pepperbox pistol that she kept hidden. Alright, so she wasn't completely defenseless.

She made a small run deeper into the field, towards the sound of the gunshot and the scream. She tried to keep her eyes out for whatever it might be, aware that it might be something she didn't need to get involved in. A mixture of curiosity about this strange new territory - mixed with a sense that she might have to get involved if need be - caused her to continue onward.

The Book of Bleeding Kansas

Name: Catherine Higgins

Aliases: "Cat" to her friends, family, or those who know her.

Age: 25

Appearance: Cat has red hair when she usually lifts up in a bun in the back. Her eyes are a dark green, almost hazel. She wears dresses of the time period, often with a bonnet or a wide brim hat. She cuts a voluptuous figure, though it's modestly contained.

Personality: Cat has a quick tongue which has gotten her out of trouble. She can be friendly to those who need a friendly face, and witty to those who need a laugh. She seems to stay on everyone's good side, more so to keep herself out of trouble than out of any altruism - plus it helps with business sales.

Background: Cat grew up the daughter of a traveling merchant whom some labeled a snake oil salesman of sorts. From him she learned the art of persuasion, as well as how to make any deal sound good. She keeps up the business by selling tonics that work, and a few that are largely just therapeutic. She moved to Kansas in the hopes of opening up business in the booming soon-to-be state.

Equipment: Cat has a Pepperbox sidearm which she keeps under her skirt, strapped tight against her stockings. She carries a traveling bag with her that has a change of clothes, some medical supplies, and a Colt Model 1851 navy revolver.

Misc: This bio may change as need be.

Wild West RP (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (?))

Not really, should I start working on the RP?

@tvfl22

I just wasn't sure if you had a specific story or focus in mind, or if you were just winging it.

Wild West RP (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (?))

Well, you certainly have me interested! Any other details regarding it?

[IC] A Song of Ice and Fire: A Gilded Throne

Just to clarify: you mention at the beginning that "Players will create a House and roleplay with members of it," then say later on that only canon houses be played. I just want to be sure I understand: are we coming up with our own houses, or inserting OC characters into canonical houses?

Is this still ongoing?

The Elder Scrolls: Before the Great War

Name: Sabrina Coranus

Race: Imperial

Appearance: Sabrina has a somewhat tanned complexion familiar to those of Cyrodilic birth, as well as dark hair. She might be considered by many to be attractive, though she likes to quip that she doesn't consider herself "aggressively so". She has a voluptuous figure which she often keeps under a modest dress.

Age: 23

Skills: Speech - Master | One-Handed - Adept | Sneak - Adept | Lockpicking - Novice | Pickpocket - Novice

Personality: Sabrina is very adept at adjusting the way she needs to address people, thanks to her speaking skills. She can be more blunt and crass when speaking to the lower class, or polite and dignified when speaking to the gentry. That being said, those who know her will understand that she is not of a chameleonic type. Though she can be snarky and sarcastic, it's often meant as a sign of affection towards those she trusts. Although she is able to defend herself, she would much rather use words and wit to get out of a problem than dagger and sword.

Bio: Sabrina was born to a father and mother who were respectively a diplomat in the imperial court and a well-connected merchant. As such, she grew up surrounded by a lot of books, which she began to peruse even at an early age. Her father influenced her love for reading, while her mother began teaching her thriftiness and mercantilism. Her father was eventually disgraced for reasons that not even he was entirely certain of, and the family forced out of the Imperial City with the need to start over. As such, she was forced to learn the use a dagger, as well as the ability to speak to those in the lower echelons of society. Her encounter with folks in darker circles at this time also taught her a few tricks of working a lock and a coin purse alike. These skills she learned more so out of curiosity than a sincere interest, and while she does have some knowledge around it, she didn't pursue it as someone in a thieves guild might.

With her mother's wisdom they eventually made their way back up in society. Sabrina eventually went on to make a name for herself in some merchant circles, as well as assisting her father with some diplomatic tasks. Though her father no longer held a position in the imperial government, he still used his skills for arbitration across Tamriel, dealing with rivalries between noble houses and merchant factions. Sabrina would accompany him and continued to hone her skill with her tongue and coin. Her father's old connections with the old Imperial court, especially those on the Elder Council, eventually led to her being confronted by those who wished to assist with the formation of the "Hidden Militia". Though not as patriotic as some of her brethren, she did, as an Imperial, feel an inner sense of duty, and hence heeded the summons when the Empire called.
