This Roleplay takes place in the Old American West, or more commonly referred to as the Wild West. If you are unfamiliar with the period here is a little backround info. The exact year this takes place in is around 1900. Say 1902. That area of time. This was after the infamous Billy the Kid was murdered if that helps you get a gist of the time period. Please refer to this link and it will help you. BUT! Do not let all this historical nonsense restrict you from your character creation. This is simply to orient yourself with the time. We will not be following history in this RP, but making it ourselves.

Introduction
Hello ladies and gentleman, you might have guessed from the title that this is a Wild West roleplay. In this roleplay we will be playing with cowboys/cowgirls (if it wasn't obvious enough), sherriffs, deputies, townfolks, bandits, the like. You can choose any role in this game as long as it makes sense. You will all be in the same town at first so there's plenty of room for you to interact with other characters. Certain adventures will present themselves, and you can choose to embark upon them or not. Do try to familiarize yourself with other characters [that are on your side. If they are bandits then by all means I would not familiarize with them if you are a cowboy]. Speaking of the town, this will be set in a small settlement called West Bowl [located somewhere in Texas... keepin' it classical]

If this RP goes on long enough, then playing Indians will become an option. Should you choose to go down the route of Bandit or criminal, you can form bands of criminals with other bandit players. There's going to be a lot of dying [guns and shit] so if your character dies you can come back and make a new one. Whip up a quick one, I'm not too strict on CSes. I will be a non player GM. Occasionally I will post in the OOC as a narrator to advance the plot.

Rules

• This is 1902, so no unrealistic crap like Tommy guns.
• Keep it real. You are not going to be able to carry 5 shotguns and 2 revolvers. You'd get serious back problems in real life.
• There are revolvers, shotguns, and rifles in this time period. But remember only certain kinds. For the various weapons there were in that time click here
• I'm pretty laidback so do whatever you want in the OOC.
• I'm no nazi but try to make your post legible [grammar and such].
• No double posting. Give other characters time to respond.
• No godmodding. If you die, no worries, you can come back and make another character.
• This is a mature themed RP so that means swearing, drugs, and all that stuff are allowed. BUT romance is Pg-13.
• Baisically all forum rules apply.
• There needs to be a balance between criminals and good guys, so I may put a cap on the amount of each group eventually.
• My word is final, I am god in this RP.
• Have a problem with this RP? Look up about a centimeter.

Hector spent both his childhood and his teenage years taking care of horses and learning from his father how to use weapons, especially firearms. When Hector was 23, some new guy appeared in the town where they lived in and offered a huge price for his parents ranch.

Thunder was the best horse in the ranch, very strong, fast, healthy and especially wild. Not even Hector's father couldn't tame him, the only one that could do that was Hector, who had a very strong relationship with the animal right from the start. One year after the takeover, Hector returned one night, riding Thunder and armed to the teeth with two revolvers, a rifle and a bowie knife. He killed everyone in the ranch, freed all the horses and burned the place down. Ever since then, Hector is wanted by the law and has a ransom of 8.000 $ on his head.
