Nothing is Forgotten, Nor Forgiven.

[Zahzi]

The West. The Last Frontier. A land so stained in blood that in many areas, not even the weeds will grow.

Yet, in this desolate, unforgiving land, people have learned to survive off of the animals around them, with the help of the few people they can trust.

Some live in towns, others live off ranches, and a few still cling to settlements. All these people know that their lives could end at any given moment.

The bloodshed feeding this land will never cease.

The year is 1913. The last, waining years of this frontier.
The East's culture is slowly creeping in, technology changing and people's lives being both aided in ended just the same.

Where does a person like you stand? With the honest people? The Bandits and Thieves prepared to take the fruits of another's labors, or among the bleached bones in the sand?

NOTICE

I do not known any Western-Based game, primarily Red Dead Redemption.

Rules

1. Normally I'd say keep it PG-13, but this is the Old West. So, keep it from having Nude parties philandering about everywhere...

2. No killing another without discussion.

3. No Godmodding.

I hold the right to add more.

The Old West

While it may be easy to get lost in this world, many find it impossible to stay lost.

For everyone else, a map will be your best friend next to your gun...

This post is rather broad, because frankly, anything you need to know is here, so I'm not busting my fingers for nothing THIS TIME!!

Username: Zahzi.
Name: Ewen Ricketts.
Gender: Male.
Age: 25.
Appearance: Ewen.
Equipment: Customized Mauser Pistol (Larger frame, resembling an American pistol.) On his hip; Sawed-Off Shotgun on the small of his back; Bolt-Action Rifle with attachable Scope over the shoulder.
History: Ewen was the only son of the Legendary Gunslinger Landon Ricketts, who died a few years ago due to natural causes. Landon knew of his child, but tried to keep him from following his footsteps. That plan failed.
Ewen because widely known at a young age for his excellent Marksmanship, and later for his honorable deeds.
It was only later that he joined the military for a time. When it produced no real challenge, he left his unit with their graces and became a Marshall for a time. It proved to be much more desirable than that of a soldier.
A few years past, and Ewen learned of a Bureau that was claiming to bring justice to this land. Naturally, he signed up.
After awhile, he learned that nothing was changing, and that the Bureau was only bringing fear to the land...
After confronting them and leaving, they decided to try and silence him. Permanently.
Thus ensued the battle in a ruined town known as Tumbleweed. US Militants were in the fight, but not his own unit, as well as the Bureau's own forces. All trying to gun him down. This battle has ended, but his story now begins afterward...
Mount: A Heavily-Armored American Standard-Bred called Anarchy.

Username: Randomly Gone Insane
Name: Abraham Prinn
Gender: Male
Age: 45
Appearance: Abraham
Equipment: Semi-Automatic Shotgun, Buffalo Rifle, LeMat Revolver
History: Since the day he could mount himself into a saddle, Abraham lived a life of crime. Cattle rustling, murdering, committing robberies, kidnapping. It seemed the only crime he did not commit was rape, as he saw it was unnecessary to bring that kind of harm upon a woman, especially when she's undeserving. If a woman needed to be harmed, she'd be harmed like a man if left up to Abraham. Being the greedy type, Abraham never formed a gang. While this made things difficult for him, it also made things easier to do in the long run and left him with more profits.
During one his rides back to whatever he decided would be his home for a night, Abraham caught glimpse of a sight that was brutal even to him. Out on the distance, far from any civilizations or roads he found two adult bodies - one male, the other female - brutally murdered alongside the horses which pulled their wagon, staining the entire area with blood. Somehow though, among the blood and death remained one frightened boy, badly beaten presumably by the bandits who had murdered his parents and left him behind under the assumption the child was dead. Feeling pity, Abraham took the child under his own care. A week later, he found a similar sight once more. This time however, it seemed the family had just been unlucky during their trip to go north and was attacked by animals. Again, Abraham found an orphaned boy and took him back to his 'home' and other 'son' as well. A month after obtaining the boys, Abraham caught sight of a burning ranch and immediately ran out to it to save anyone who may have been alive. Unfortunately, Abraham could only find one survivor, a young girl barely past the age of two, scared, crying, and sick. Like the boys, Abraham brought her back to his 'home' and nursed her back to health. It was then, after obtaining the girl, Abraham made up his mind. Shortly after the girl regained her health, he immediately moved the children - who he now called his own, his family - back to the ranch Abraham had found the girl, and made it his own.
Mount: A heavily beaten, and scarred Rocky Mountain Horse.
Extra: In an effort to raise his children correctly and right the wrongs of his past, Abraham heavily stresses upon himself to be an idle citizen - a perfectly honorable man. This is very troublesome for Abraham at times, because the acts he avoids are labeled as 'hateful' by society, but at times the hateful acts are done out of love for his family, creating a gray area which has no clear answer which makes decision making on what to do even harder.
Abraham also comes off as being a bit 'up-tight' when it comes to some things, because they remind him of his past. If at all possible, Abraham keeps the ghosts of his past far away, only allowing two ghosts in his life, as they are necessities - his guns, and his horse.

Username: Randomly Gone Insane
Name: Derrick Prinn
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Appearance: Derrick
Equipment: Shofield Revolver, Evans Repeater, Sawed Off Shotgun
History: Unable to recall much, Derrick has come to accept his life with Abraham and his siblings. Growing up was strange for him, and difficult. It was hard to learn how to manage a ranch when the man who owned it didn't even know what he was doing though. But they learned. They had the help of neighbors and friends, and the harsh lessons of outlaws. Though it's still a struggle, Derrick has gotten a firm grip on what it means to ranch, especially when it came to tending the animals, unlike his brother.
Mount: Gold Champagne Stallion
Extra: If questioned, Derrick will answer proudly that Abraham is his father and that Cuthbert and Alice are his brother and sister, despite the fact he has no true relations with them.
Derrick also seems to have an addiction to saloons, particularly the ladies within them...

Username: Randomly Gone Insane
Name: Cuthbert Prinn
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance: Cuthbert
Equipment: Bolt Action Rifle, Shofield Revolver, Pump-action Shotgun
History: Unable to recall much, Cuthbert has come to accept his life with Abraham and his siblings. Growing up was strange for him, and difficult. It was hard to learn how to manage a ranch when the man who owned it didn't even know what he was doing though. But they learned. They had the help of neighbors and friends, and the harsh lessons of outlaws. Unlike his brother though, Cuthbert lacked animal skills and favored more in smithing or fencing - mandatory maintenance that every ranch must undergo.
Mount: Roan Chestnut
Extra: If questioned, Cuthbert will answer proudly that Abraham is his father and that Derrick and Alice are his brother and sister, despite the fact he has no true relations with them.
Cuthbert also seems to have an addiction to saloons, particularly the poker and other gambling games...

Username: Randomly Gone Insane
Name: Alice Prinn
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Appearance: Alice
Equipment: N/A
History: Alice's memories are muddled. She's the most familiar with the ranch out of the entire family, but her memories do not match their life style. She faintly remembers distinct differences between 'then' and 'now', but she cannot quite place her finger on what or why. None the less, like the rest of her family, she lives on the ranch as peacefully as one can though, doing the best she can to contribute. Unfortunately, she's kept in doors most of the day, and not to perform her "womanly duties" either. The men panic about her safety often, and could spend more time worrying over her than actually working. So, she's been 'sentenced' to stay inside so work can actually be done.
Mount: Plamino
Extra: If questioned, Alice will answer proudly that Abraham is her father and that Derrick and Cuthbert are her brothers, despite the fact she unknowingly has no true relations with them - or even knows she's not related.
While being inside leaves Alice very bored and tired of her life at time, it has grown some advantages. She knows how to handle basic things, like cooking, healing, or even managing clothing better than the rest of her family. Without her, the family would literally fall apart (it almost did when she caught a cold once).
