Last of the Cowboys (OOC)

OCC:

Elizabeth Walton
Widower, lost her husband 2 years ago
Age 32
5'3"
Firm and fit from hard work
Green eyes
Red Hair

Elizabeth owns a large sheep and dairy cow farm. She is constantly being harrassed for her land, that borders a rival ranch, and she only wishes to take care of her herd of dairy cows, and her sheep. She has put up barbed wire fencing to keep her sheep herded and her dairy cows as well.

The Walton ranch sits on top of prime grazing land, as well as sports the largest watering hole for miles. She has fenced off the area and is always having to have Carl repair destroyed lines. A river runs through the area, but can cause problems during dry weather. There are other small ponds for the animals that the ranchers free ranged herds can drink from, but many still want the Walton property.

She sells the wool to make ends meet as well as what she can spare from her harvesting of hay. Her household will have several NPC's such as field hands, and such. She has chickens, and a couple of pigs, she sells the young bulls after they are weaned, but keeps a few for slaughter.
 
wow , lots of farmers here. But gives me time to throw down one of my favorite tyoe characters from this period - the gambler.

Who needs cows when you got all aces? LOL more developed character coming soon, be sure to post up link to IC thread once it starts.

Star Dixon
Saloon Girl/Dancer/Hooker
23
6'0"
Slim waist, but sensous curves and lush breasts
Coal black hair
blue eyes

Star is the Belle of the saloon. She's the most saught after woman of the night and is worth every bill that is lavished upon her bed, when she is done with her customers. She is picky and NOT everyone will have the chance to enjoy her creamy thighs.

She doesn't like her whore life, and has her eyes on the rich banker or the next big player that wins the next big pile of money. A wealthy rancher could also be on her list of potential lovers. She wants a life. Only 23, and longing to keep her legs closed for only one man.

Her parents are both dead, and she sold her body for passage to this hell hole, and now she's wishing for a man and money!
 
oohhhhhh looks like mary beth will have some company/competition in the hotel!
 
sweeeeeeeeeeet!

::scampers away to go work on his character::
 
O.k. I think I looked through everything but just in case I missed it do you have a general store owner yet? People gotta have a place to buy what they don't make on their ranches after all. :) Let me know please.

::after much scampering , he returns with this::

Seamus Cormac

Age:27
Height: 5’9
Lean, as most are in the day in the west
Redish hair, green eyes.



First generation native born America, his parents were Irish. He has a slight Irish accent, and while proud of his heritage, he tends to try to hid it as much as possible. (Irish were thought to be mere working class during this time if I remember correctly). He shows off a fair amount of money, dressed in a fine coat, hat, and sports a rather shiny, expensive looking colt revolver with pearl grips. He never smokes, except for cigars at the poker table, which is where most assume he made his green. He’s got a bright Irish face and smile, which tends to disarm people. The ladies love the big green eyes, and the slightly red hair he keeps combed back, under his straight brimmed hat.

Little else would be known of him in this town, just arriving, though if the sheriff were overly well informed, she’d know that he’s killed 3 men in poker disputes – all of the dead men reportedly cheating (it was perfectly legal to shoot a cheater on the spot in most places. No questions asked. Of course it was supposedly rather common to set someone up to look like a cheater, if you owed them too much, or just needed them gone for some reason).



Hope to see ya'll 'round the table soon.
 
Arianna "Ari" Wilson
Owner of the towns General Store
Widow
27
flaxen blonde hair
sea green eyes
tall and willowy

Ari Wilson was as independant as they came. She'd been married once and had considered it a blessing when the old cuss had died with no will leaving his store and all his other worldly assests to her. Since they hadn't had children she was able to live quite comfortably without having to answer to any man. Which was how she liked it.

On good terms with most of the townsfolk she still knowns there's some whispering behind her back because of her independant streak. If she wasn't in church she was usually seen dressed more like a ranch hand than a store keep. Denim trousers and flannel shirts made up most of her wardrobe though she could clean up nice for church on sundays and the occaisional town dance.

She could afford to be eccentric and independant however. So far no one else had seen fit to open another general store in their dying town so if the ranchers and farmers wanted a store to sell their wares in they had to come to her. Unless they had the spare time to go out to the next town or to take time off their ranches and farms to set up stands to sell their goods themselves.

Known for being pretty easygoing and almost always having a smile or a laugh for someone it took a lot to push her buttons and set off her temper but once lit...take cover.
 
ok, so do mary beth (black opal) and Star Dixon (Babette) both work in the same "saloon/inn" - which I assume to be 'the parlor" as it is locally known, but really called Maginty`s, run by Daniel St John Richardso (blue Dolphin)?

holy hells, this is kinda complex already, and we haven't even started! W00t!
 
No, We'll seperate that. There is the main hotel, and next door is the saloon.

At the moment, no one has taken Saloon owner, or bartender, so I'll just play that.

And the ladies can pick if they'd rather be maids for the Motel, or saloon girls.

Or they can work part time for both.
 
This looks like it will be fun and exciting.

Character: Captain Kyle Richards US Army Cavalry

Kyle is on the last legs of his milatary carreer and has been sent to Keystone as a form of punishment. The top brass has tired of his antics; not following orders, working outside the limits. His duty is to catalog and inventory the remaining stores in the old deserted cavalry outpost located a mile outside the town limits. It's a thankless job and he has no desire to perform it, his disdain for the task, the army and the tired, rundown town of Keystone is evident.

Kyle is 6'2" in excellent physical condition. Despite his angst for the army he still maintains his uniform and appearance as professional. He is very experienced in all forms of combat.
He has, on occasion been known to tie one one and womanize.
 
I doubt it, we just started (And by we, I mean someone else) so i imagine you can post up a char, and hop in.
 
Characters Name: Winston Patterson
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 215
Hair Color: brown with gray flecks
Eye Color: brown
Distinctive features: weathered ruggedly handsome, thick mustache


Farmboy to soldier/scout then rancher who lost his land when the government took claim of a large swatch for the trans-continental railroad's construction. Selling off all he had he is now, more or less, a drifter, trying to find a place that the new age hasn't come to yet.
 
Eric Nikolei

Characters Name: Eric Nikolei
Age:24
Height: 6’ 3”
Weight: 197
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Dark grey blue
Distinctive features: always soot covered unless at home, thumb scarred, ruthless fighter if he has a reason

Eric Nikolei was a young blacksmith when he scarred his thumb, which reminds him of his past. Pretty much that was all he remembered about his past from before he moved to Keystone.

He owns the blacksmith shop at the very end of town and lives up above it in an apartment. His shop is out of the way but hey, if you build it they will come. =) He is always looking for a girl to marry but hasn’t made up his mind on any yet. He is always working hard at his tasks in his shop or twiddling with projects he makes for himself. Ask him to cover up for you in anything and he will kick right out of his shop as he doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of the law just yet ……

Welcome aboard everyone. Do not be shy, we still have plenty of room, and plenty of spots to fill.

At the moment I will be sending out Pm's to some people, telling you some details of the town, tidbits you might know that others don't, specifics of some things. These are to help add some flavor and text to the story, as well as make things much more fun.

I did want to point out, the Carson in the Story is not Carson City in Nevada. It is a made up Carson, just like the town Keystone is a made up town. If you want geographics, it is south of Chicago... like a 4 days ride on a horse. There are other small towns, but nothing near Keystone. We are out in the middle of nowhere, more or less.

Any questions or concerns please PM me, and keep playing. This is great so far.

Thanks, glad to be a part of it. I have always enjoyed westerns and their simplistic moral concepts in the stories since I was a young buckaroo.

I think this is a great idea.
