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.

Height - 5'7

Weight - 167 lbs

Appearance -

Clothing - Black pants, and black boots. Rest as seen.

Starting location - Buffalo Gulch

Skills - Good talker as in real friendly, Throwing knives is a talent, ambidextrous, exceptional swimmer.

Personality - Jackson is quite friendly towards people getting a lot of people to like him easily. He doesn't have a problem going along with whatever someone else wants to do, usually, but this is partially due to the fact that he robs and kills people in his spare time. Women on the other hand hasn't always been his strong suit. Older women he has no problem talking with or being around, but that's because he has no attraction to women that are older than him by more than a year. Younger girls on the other hand, he has been known to get slightly nervous around if he thinks they're cute. It should also be noted that the only people he wouldn't be able to shoot are younger girls, but for guys he could care less who he kills.

Biography - Jackson was born and raised in Missouri. He helped his dad on the ranch with the cattle, while his two sisters helped their mother. It was a nice life. Sadly about two years ago they had a bad year and had to sell all the cattle. Jackson promised to find a way to make money for his family and ran off. For the first year he wasn't able to find any good work, then one day he was on a coach that got robbed and when he found out how much the man took from everyone he figured out that it could be a good way to earn for his family back home. Of course he later found out that since everyone identified him the sketch was extremely detailed on the wanted poster and he was quickly brought to justice. About three months ago about two months before his eighteenth birthday Jackson held up a coach of his own. He made a decent amount of cash, enough to send home and keep himself up, but before he left he shot all of the passengers and driver. No one was left alive to identify him. At the next town he sent the money back home and kept moving.

Accepted! Post the sheet to the character sheets thread please.

I'll be accepting one more character, the next one to apply and get accepted, then I'll close joining for now.

Hey Heat, is it okay if I post in the IC and get some character interaction going? Like, my character finds something yours left in the hotel room? Just thought I'd ask (I'm itching to write), but it's no problem if you've got other stuff planned =).

Oh yeah, go for it.

I was just waiting to see if anyone else was going to post who hadn't already. Go ahead and post, no reason to let the IC stall.

I'd ask what she was gonna write finding first, lol
Before telling her to go for it.

Lol, well I'm probably gonna have my guy in that hotel actually (If I looked at everything correctly and it's the same one in Jackson's location) So possibly get something going there?

I was thinking something along the lines of her finding some small thing of his that he left in the room. Maybe a small box of bullets? She chases him down, they exchange words etc. etc. If trouble stirs while they're conversing that'd be pretty neat but it's not required :D.

I guess finding a box of Prophylactic's wouldn't fit in the time period
LOL

Username - PhoenixEye9

Character Name - Kaneonuskatew Nuka

Nickname - Grey Wolf, Kane (Just so none of you have to type out Kaneonuskatew XD)

Age - 27

Occupation - Outlaw (Ranging from theft to murder), Medicine Man

Gender - Male

Height - 5"11'

Weight - 136 lbs

Appearance -

Clothing - As seen in picture, with the Native American War chest plate under his shirt.

Starting location - Buffalo Gulch

Skills - Identifying Medicinal plants, Shooting

Weaknesses - tying knots, reading

Weaponry - Tomahawk (From his tribe), Colt 45, Winchester 1873, Dagger

Equipment - Two water pouches (approximately a half gallon each), his horse Fool's Gold (A Golden Stallion he tamed, rides bareback)

Personality - Kane is loyal to those few he trusts. He refuses to leave his horse, or his tomahawk anywhere. Loves his fire water, (yay liquor)

Biography - Kane grew up in a small self respecting Native American tribe that chose to call themselves the Tamaya (Note I'm not using a real tribe just because then it forces location). He was trained from a young age to resolve more with words than to solve them with his Axe. The Axe was a strong tradition of the tribe and what showed you were a man. He took his training well even going under the tribe medicine man, learning the language of the white man as well, but with language soon came their ways and with their ways violence. Before long Kane was running with bandits until one tried to turn him in as a scapegoat. When Kane denied it and broke out, the Tamaya tribe payed the price, all were slaughtered. Now Kane is forever dead-set against the system.
