He had a normal childhood, finishing school and taking a job as a miner in a nearby town where his mother and father lived.

She's an extreme flirt, hitting on anything with two legs is a norm for her. Though she hardly ever takes it much farther with anyone due to her trust issues and background.
Biography - I don't really know when it first started but as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with fire.

I'd steal any matchbooks from anywhere just to light the little sticks and watch them burn. It was entrancing, beautiful and dangerous. I loved it. I had hordes of the little books stashed away everywhere. Ma and Pa were always taking them away.

That's bout the only thing I remember bout my ma and pa though, I wasn't sure if that was 'cuz of what happened or just 'cuz i couldn't remember. I lost them when I was seven or eight.

They'd sent me off to school maybe hoping I'd stay out of trouble, Yeah right, trouble always seems to find me in the worst of places. After the boring lectures and such I'd snitched another book of matches from my teacher and gone hiding in the woods.

Lighting one at a time I'd watched them burn away slowly, almost in a trance of sorts. When suddenly I heard the bells in town ringing and shouts of fire. But all my little sticks where gone. Being me and of course the shouts telling me my favorite things was out and about set me instantly curious.

Stowing away my little book of fascination for later I ran back into town to see what all the commotion was about. When people saw me the stepped out of the way and turned whispering to one another. What the hell was going on. Then I saw it, the smoldering remnants of my home and even the charred remains of my parents reaching for the door.

No one knew how it started and honestly I don't think much effort was put into it. My family wasn't of much prominence in town but the rumors flew.
Most thought it had been me, though I tried telling everyone I hadn't done it, no one believed me. The whispers when on for months 'Kilt her family she did, over a little book of matches. Can you even imagine! Little fire demon she devil is what she is!' And so on and so forth. It got so bad that none of the other children were allowed to play with me.

Finally the town did something about it, they sent me away to live with my uncle, my pa's brother. I disgusting excuse for a man too deep in his drink and a horrid fondness for little girls. At first I struggled with him, but I was only seven and what can a seven year old do against a full grown man? I learned to zone out when he came for me plotting my revenge while he ruined my body.

I planned it on the fifth anniversary of my parents death, I was twelve. Too old for him now but I'd make him pay anyway. I'd started thieving kerosene months before, taking it here and there from the locals and hiding it away. This night the old man lay passed out on the floor to drunk to even wake up as I poured bottle after bottle around the house and on his person. Then I lit one of my beautiful little matches and laid waste to another home. Thinking about that moment now makes me smile as I can hear his screams as he burned alive. After that the incidents kept happening getting bigger and worse as I learned how my favorite toy worked. It was beautiful and I loved every minute of it.

Soon they were sending marshals after me, so I picked up a gun and learned to use it with deadly efficiency, though I still preferred my little book of friends. I even adopted a look. A long crimson red coat. Thus my 'nickname' as they call it. "Crimson Blaze" I don't use it myself. I prefer Ash.

She wandered for days in the desert until she was picked up by some merchants who gave her water and took her to the nearest town.

Near penniless in a strange town and unsure if the policia were looking for her Yasmine had little choice but to use the last of her money to hire a coach and travelled north.

[Heliosa]

Character Sheet:
Username - Heliosa
Character Name - Shilah Anderson
Age - 26
Occupation - Hotel housekeeper
Gender - Female
Height - 5'5
Weight - 125 lbs
Appearance -

Picture

Shilah's Navaho blood is apparent in the duskiness of her skin, her ink-black hair and her dark, almond-shaped eyes. She is not lean per se, but is firm with muscles and has a stalwart hourglass figure.
Clothing - Shilah typically dresses in a modest gown of sturdy cotton. Her necklines tend to be low enough to show just a hint of cleavage, her sleeves typically end at her elbows, and her skirts always skim the ground. She avoids corsets except for special occasions, and owns only one. Her long wavy black hair is usually kept up in a large messy bun.
Starting location - Buffalo Gulch
Skills - Eavesdropping on important conversations, reading, writing, long range shooting though she is no expert, and domestic tasks like cooking and sewing,
Weaknesses - Any sort of close combat, witnessing any form of cruelty towards animals or children
Weaponry - Spencer rifle
Equipment - A chest in her quarters containing a few dresses, an expensive gold pocket-watch hidden in a book with a false interior, three classic literature novels, two pairs of worn boots, her rifle and an assortment of cheap jewelry and hair accessories. Situated on her bedside table is a bottle of witch hazel, a jar of cold cream, a small pot of rouge, a chipped hand mirror, and a wide-brimmed straw hat embellished with a maroon ribbon.
Personality - Shilah is alert, curious, and while she's usually soft-spoken she enjoys making a witty remark now and then. She appreciates humor and kindness above all things, making her rather unusual in a setting like Buffalo Gulch. However, she has no qualms about putting a hole through somebody's knee (from a distance) if that's what absolutely needs to be done, or if she firmly believes they deserve it.
Biography - Growing up on a Navaho reservation in New Mexico did not provide Shilah with the most joyful childhood. Her mother raised Shilah on her own, and made no mention of her father. Shilah only knew that he was an affluent proprietor of a handful of oil fields. And of course, he was white. Shilah's mother never told her the circumstances surrounding her birth, and Shilah never felt the need to ask. Growing tired of the reservation's destitute monotony, Shilah decided to strike out on her own with whatever meager funds she had earned working as a shopkeeper's assistant. Her mother's uncle, a saloon worker in Buffalo Gulch, found Shilah a job as a housekeeper at the less seedy of its two hotels. Shilah accepted, despite the the town being of extreme ill-repute, because her paltry savings would not afford her a life in most other places. Though she is not conventionally beautiful, Shilah's exotic features sometimes draw unwanted attention, especially at an establishment where the guests were a dangerous mix of crass, brash and aggressive. Because of this, Shilah tries to draw as little attention to herself as possible, and she's good at it.
Shilah does not enjoy the drudgery of her work but she has a keen interest in the various hotel guests, especially the ones who look more adventurous than usual. Given her penchant for eavesdropping on the conversation of the typically unsavory characters frequenting the hotel, Shilah has extensive knowledge of the going on's of Buffalo Gulch.

Username - Polyphemus

Character Name - Samuel Lin

Nickname - Sammy

Age - 36

Occupation - Gambler

Gender - Male

Height - 5'7"

Weight - 138

Appearance - 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 Hadly

Skills - 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 brandy

Personality - 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.

Personality - Jackson is quite friendly towards people getting a lot of people to like him easily.

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.
