Backstory (optional): Kira had been born in a clan of bandits, runaways and homeless of many, both men and women alike. She was conceived from a bandit mother and a outlaw father. As if by a sheer stroke of unluckiness her mother was helping her father when she went into labor and had been forced to give birth to her during a raid on a stagecoach and luckily they were able to steal it before she was born. Since day one Kira had dreamed of learning every trick of pickpocketing in the books like her beloved father since She was a toddler. She loved her mother and father dearly, especially her beloved horse Feather. Soon, She grew up into a young woman and did the training under the tutelage of her mother and was taught how to steal and get away with it from her father. She has killed many of a man or woman in her lifetime, hiding their bodies below ground or burning the remains after searching the person for valuables.

Brief Clothes Description: Her favorite dressing that She usually wears has a long red and black corset and is of clothing on that seems as though it originated from the very depths of darkness itself and ruby red blood. It has been a dress from that of her mother’s past. She was gifted it from her beloved mother. It was from her mother's side and it has a long and very brutal history behind it but once you hear such a story you would never want to hear anything else again.

Sexuality: She is heterosexual and has been that way every since She was born. That means She was born female and She classifies herself as necessarily a cowgirl.

She has days where She is either that way or extroverted but only with those She truly trusts.

She is extremely selfless to others on a scale from one to 100 is 100 because She is sweet and womanly without a single moment of being cruel to anyone. She is on the spectrum of kind 100%.

She is a bit sluggish in situations and can make friends easily through even tough situations.

She is not insane but She does have few mental disorders. These are paranoia, depression and a sleeping disorder.

Present


Personal Quote: "Jaysus, Mary 'n Joseph; Oy need a drink.."

Name: Colm (Pronounced "Column") MacPherson

Gender: Man

Race: Irish (at this point in history "White" did not include the Irish, among other groups)

Nationality: Irish-American (Immigrant)

Age: 48

Occupation: Formerly a Union soldier in The Irish Brigade, currently unemployed and looking for something to do with himself.

Family: Only son of a family he'd lost to famine back in Ireland.

Horse: Gunpowder (he quickly became a fan of Washington Irving when he came to America)


Possessions: Plain clothes, still keeps his old uniform, and field equipment (including his rifle, which he carries openly). Also packed a few changes of clothes, and a handful of money he managed to save from his military service. Keeps a flask with the imprint of his family's/clan's heraldry.

Skills: Colm and the 88th New York Regiment had seem some combat, and though he never saw recognition for his service, he prided himself on his ferocity in combat. He's a quick reload with rifle, and wields it effectively as a blunt weapon as well. He's even attempted (still working on) effective reloading *while* engaged in combat, such as delivering a kick or a shoulder-check. The repeater rifles do have a certain, appeal, though... He's got some limited farming skills, and is likely to establish a homestead in the near future. Knows old Irish folklore. Speaks Gaelic and English.

Personality: Colm is a grumpy sort, a bit disgruntled and disturbed by his experiences in the Union Army (his feelings about the whole conflict were complicated, but he was eager to prove himself a good American at the time). He can have a quick temper, and has begun drinking more than he should (being Irish, many don't claim to notice a difference). He tries to assume the best in others, and is quick to defend individuals he feels are being mistreated.

Likes/Dislikes: Good whiskey, venison, cards and pub games, is becoming fascinated with Indigenous culture.

Backstory (optional): Colm Lost his family when he was still in Ireland; between sickness, and famine, his Father ordered him to flee to America while he still could. It was that, or see the family line end with him. He was eager to earn good money and prove his place as an American, and was quickly taken in by Army Recruiters. Over time, his position in the Union Army created a rift between himself and the New York Irish, effectively isolating him psychologically. He was part of the army efforts to quell the New York Draft Riots, and it more or less broke him. He turned in a mediocre performance leading up to the end of his term of service, only stepping up where he might die, otherwise, and took to drinking to cope. None the less, he went on to serve in some of the Indian Wars, as well. It was during that ending chapter of his military service that he really lost his taste for soldiering; even began looking at his "fellow Americans" the way he and his family used to look at the English, for how they treated the people under their boots (General Sherman, in particular, was what he charmingly referred to as a "Roight *mean* old bastard"). Eventually he quit the army, and headed west. He kept his rifle and uniform, however, still, in someway, proud to say he "fought the good fight" (even if expressing this meant picking a fight with former confederates, and other Irish). He'd heard rumors (to which he didn't pay close enough attention) of the state of things in Longwater, was reminded, in an odd sort of way, of Ireland, and is eager to establish roots away from the States.

Gender: Male

Race: Caucasian

Nationality: American

Age: 25

Occupation: Professional Gambler

Family: The Hart family was never a traditional, loving bunch of relatives. Instead, they were more like a business enterprise. Jack's mother was a prostitute and his father is a wealthy owner of a mine. Though his mother raised him in between her 'appointments', his father had very little do to with his son and, in fact, started his own separate, legitimate legitimate family with a woman of social stature. Eventually his mother succumbed to illness and died, leaving Jack to find his own way in the world. Though he may have some half-siblings on his father's side, he has not had any direct contact with them.

Horse:


Possessions:
- Deck of Cards
- Revolver
- Bullet strap
- Matches
- Tobacco pouch with rolling papers
- Satchel containing a limited amount of extra clothes with room for some travel provisions
- A sack of jerky
- A billfold
- Pocket knife

Skills:
- Poker: Jack Hart is a very talented poker player and uses that skill as his main source of income
- Body language: Jack is very adept at interpreting body language and can often spot liars just by the way they carry themselves
- Novice Gunslinger: Jack knows how to point and shoot his weapon, but trick shots and long distance sniping is out of his scope. He could hold his own in a duel, but if he is surrounded by a gang of outlaws with ill intent, he would be in some serious trouble.
- Minimalist Survival: Jack knows how to start a fire, create a temporary shelter and has a decent enough understanding of local fauna that he can forage well enough to keep himself fed during a long travel experience. Hunting is not his strong suit, however, and he much prefers life in crowded areas.

Personality: Jack likes to drink, smoke, gamble and lay around. If you're looking for a grizzled badass gunslinger, you've come to the wrong guy. Jack is more of a debaucherous teenager in a grown man's body.

Likes/Dislikes: Jack likes women, tequila, smoking, gambling and partying. He does not like manual labor, blistering heat or cheaters.

Name: Christina Emerson

Gender: Female

Race: Caucasian

Nationality: American (mother was Polish)

Age: 21

Occupation: Midwife, healer

Family: father Carl Emerson (45, rancher and horse breeder), mother Marija Kowalik (farmer and midwife, recently deceased), brother Jared Emerson (17)

Horse: skewbald mare named Betsie

Possessions:
Bag with medical supplies - bandages, scalpels, needles, things like that

A Derringer - she is not a fan of guns and violence, but a woman often travelling alone needs to be able to protect herself

Skills:
Delivering babies - Despite having no children of her own, she had been present during dozens of childbirths. Ever since she was a little girl, her mother (also a midwife) would take her along, explaining everything to little Christina, passing all the knowledge from previous generations of midwives back in Poland.

Treating wounds and diseases - She has some basic knowledge of medicine. She tries to save up money to buy some medical textbooks, since her father won’t let her attend medical school.

Herbalism - Folk knowledge of natural remedies was pretty extensive in her mother’s family and she passed it on to Christine, as well as a small herb garden in the farm’s back yard.

Personality: Christina is very friendly and outgoing. She always tried to look on the bright side, to find positives in every situation. Often she gets in trouble due to her lack of respect for authorities and a tendency to speak before thinking.

Likes/Dislikes: She loves life and her freedom, wants to try out everything and enjoy everything, even things that are deemed ‘inappropriate’ for women. She hates people that try to tell her what to do, and customs that dictate how a proper woman should behave.

Backstory (optional): Her father’s family had been living in Longwater for a long time, building a prosperous ranch. Her mother’s family was traveling through the town with a caravan of Polish settlers, and the two young people fell desperately in love. Marija’s parents had a different suitor for her in mind, a man from their own community, but Marija refused him and married Carl in secret. Her family was furious with her, and when the caravan continued its way, they left her behind - the last contact she ever had with them.

Despite being an outsider, Marija won the hearts of the townsfolk with her friendly attitude and the word of her skills as a midwife soon got around and she was often called to help women during labor and other medical emergencies. As soon as little Christina could walk, her mother would take her along, having her help out and explaining everything to her.

As Christina grew up, more than anything she wanted to go to college and become a real doctor. But her father was a traditionalist and the idea of a female spending her ‘best years’ studying and then working as a doctor just wouldn’t pass by him, no matter how hard Christina and her mother tried. He insisted that she would find a decent man and get married, like any other girl would (and should) do. So far, Christina has managed to resist that fate, but since her mother died she has no one left on her side.

Christina has a complicated relationship with local doctor Jacob Baum - mostly they hate each other. Doctor Baum doesn’t like that someone who hasn’t studied any schools meddles with medicine, let alone that someone being a woman. Christina hates his condescending attitude and outdated methods. Also, being the only doctor in Longwater, he charges rather hefty sums for his care, and most people cannot afford to spend such money on doctors and medicines.

However like all Valentinos, Achille is a natural fighter as in his world, those who are unable to defend themselves against the family's many enemies don't live very long. While Achille tends to be merciful and at times generous to the downtrodden, (the poor, sick, children) make no mistake... enemies of this Valentine will have to live with eyes over their back for as long as they live, knowing they will be hunted to the ends of the earth.

Likes: Fighting, clean kills, travelling, enjoying a good story and the occasional party

Dislikes: Those without honor, Those who would abuse the downtrodden. Not particularly fond of gambling (he never bothers to play) and alcohol.

It is during this rise to power that Achille earned his reputation as being a formidable asset to the family. To achieve such wealth and prestige however comes at a cost... the Valentino family has many enemies, both of the supernatural and regular mortal kind.

Recently, a member of the family consumed with greed, killed several prominent family members as well as stealing a sizable piece of the family fortune. In response, Achille was given the task to hunt down this renegade. It's been several years and the hunt has taken Achille to the wild west. To fit in in this new frontier, Achille has ditched his formal clothing and adopted the typical look of a western gunslinger. To keep his presence a secret, Achille rarely stays in one place for too long and only undertakes quick bounty hunting missions or acting as hired gun wherever he goes in exchange for information on the run-away renegade.

Preferring to travel at night, Achille comes across Longwater hearing after stories of supernatural beings starting to turn up more frequently at the town in the hopes that his target is nearby..
