I'm thinking about a merchant affected by the outlaws, although I'm not sure of what would be better: a traveling merchant or a shop owner?

Also, he would look like this:

I think i will make Racist Former Outlaw, betrayed by his fellows and now he seeks revenge. I could share a part of story with someone, just to bring some taste to description.

Hello I am new to this site but this game looks really interesting to me. Do we play the game on this site? What will be the required response time? Like one hour, one day, one week?

I am going to make a former Union soldier. Not sure where the character sheets are but I see a completed one. I will copy it and enter my own info.

Look forward to playing!

I'd say he looks like a travelling merchant, possibly one of those snake oil merchants.

That sounds good, probably will go that way with the character. A snake-oil salesman with a grudge.

Even the conmen hate the renegades.

So I received a maybe on my proposal (it wasn't stated but I felt it). And I don't want to pour tons of work into this to be denied. Therefore I've only done the backstory for @Heat's judgement.

It's current a W.I.P., but I just thought I'd leave it here if anyone has any questions. (Because it's basically a history lesson.)

@Blue Demon it looks all good you can finish the rest.

Also am at work so replies might be short.

My character is Ellis Braddock. If he is alright then please add him to the character sheets. I'm very excited to play with you all!

He is fond of helping other former slaves if they've come into trouble.

He does not tolerate crime, disrespect, killing of innocent people, which is why he became a Bounty hunter/gun for hire.

Backstory -
Monty was born to a mandingo fighting slave and a breeding type comfort girl slave. Being born into slavery in the Evans Plantation, Monty was raised there until he was bought at age 5 to be property of Eustace Ward. Eustace was considered what other slaves called, a slave breaker, making them do inhumane things for entertainment. Monty from the age of 8 started off in the Jr. Mandingo fighting to earn his master some betting money to which he was quite proficient in doing.

Throughout his years of being part of the Ward plantation, not only did he handle labor and fight, his taste of music piqued when he noticed another slave playing a guitar, in which he wanted to learn to play himself. Having such talent helped him to gain more favor with his master but his family made his life difficult with set ups and lies that cost him privileges and earned him beatings.

later when the civil war started and the fact that Monty couldn't handle being part of the Ward plantation anymore, he ran away to get free and looked to go to the north. While Monty was being searched for by Ward's men, Monty ran into a Quaker and former bounty hunter, George Sharp, who hid and and took care of Monty from age 13 on up.

George taught Monty a little of reading a writing and when the time came, shooting. After a few years living with George and his family, increasing his skills of music and learning to defend himself, Monty later when to travel to make a living. The Civil war was over and there were many changes. Running into a small town that the now, free slaves own, Monty witnessed one night, terror with a group of men wearing white bags on their heads, shooting the people and burning the town down.

Because of the war ending, many southern former slave owner have taken it upon themselves to cause as much pain and terror to former slaves to put them back in their places but that was until Monty decided to do something about it when a woman he liked was hung. From what he learned from his teacher, George, he took it upon himself to find these men and to make them pay for what they've done.

Monty did manage to find them in another town and took justice in his own hands to not just kill off but to scare the others to not come back. He nearly got himself killed but after doing so, Monty thought about getting into the line of work including bounty hunting. Since then, Monty have been traveling and making money either by his music or killing.

Can I do the "White guy raised by the Natives" but do something different with it?

I've maken beggining of character, consider it as WIP

@Heat
So how foul mouthed are our characters allowed to be? I plan on making ole' Elmore "Fiddler" Vegas one cursin' racist sum'bitch. With a dialect in his dialogue of course.

is it too late to join?

if not, I was wondering if the wife of a local saloon/tavern-ish thing owner would be okay?

@Corporal Hicks The sheet looks good but I'd like to see some more added to the backstory. Describe his life during the war? How'd he end up with PTSD? Why is he so racist against Indians? Was it the war that caused that. Describe that.

@King Tai Also looks good, keep up with it.

@Avanhelsing If you really want to, you could do a full blooded Native. That'd be more realistic I think.

@Treshan It's all good so far, keep working on it.

@Vandy Yeah, you can cuss as much as you'd like. Racism was pretty commonplace back then.

@ayzrules The RP is open for anyone to join, and that'd be great.

Not sure weather I went a little too over the top with Joshua or not.

I will go fix it now.

@Heat
Oh okay. I was going to base him off Herman Lehman, a boy from Texas who was kidnapped and raised by the Apache. I can do something else though.

@Orlan Accepted, you can move it to the character's tab. Guess we got someone to serve us drinks while hunting the outlaws, hehe.
