This is just a small set-up for a Wild West thread I have been contemplating. The idea is centered around a West town, in the last 1890's. Near the turn of the century the cowboy life was begining to die off.
So, this is a last run, more or less. A final urge of the old ways, before technology and the new world take away the old life they once knew.
There is a small town of Keystone, somehwere in the Midwest. It was once a great prosperous town that had many settlers go through it, cavalry and cowboys kept it booming until about ten years ago, when it all dried up. Now the town is just a trickle of itself.
It has around 50 people total. There is a sheriff, obviously, and a deputy. A local store merchant, who has seen better times, a jolly inn owner that will still give you a decent meal despite how things are. A short balding banker with half rimmed spectacles, a stern but fair men that counts every penny. A blacksmith, a lumber mill, and of course a church up on the hill.
Most of the families that live here are farmers or ranchers. There are a few cowboys that still come in from time to time, and that is where we start off. In this little lazy town of Keystone that is about to be turned upside down.
At the moment I'm going to be playing one of the farmhands at one of the ranches. A young and naive man, Carl. He is new to town, and lucky to find the job.
Just about everything else is left open for whatever you want to create. You can be a townsperson, a farmer, one of the maids at the inn.... or the inn owner yourself if you want. Whatever characters don't get made, I will just NPC so we can move things along easier.
And, that's all. Any questions just ask. If not, post some characters, some ideas, and then in a day or so, we can begin our adventure.
List of characters so far:

Short list of NPC's played by Poohlive:
Barney Fife ~ Deputy sheriff. He can be around town, but if youneed him, go to the jailhouse. He checks in there all the time.
Dennis Richards ~ Mayor, has an office in town, home is only a few houses away... he is there in the evenings
John Smith ~ Card shark, can usually be seen in the saloon, shuffling a deck.
Lisa Duncan ~ Bank Teller. Is always at the bank.
Red ~ Bartender. He's always at the bar (big surprise) and every so often back in the kitchen cooking.
