Red Mesa, New Mexico: OOC

[SEVERUSMAX]

Welcome to the fictitious Western town of Red Mesa. It is 1861, the Civil War has just broken out, and residents have to decide whether to stay loyal to the Union or listen to Confederate agents seeking to recruit volunteers for a campaign in the New Mexico Territory (which includes both New Mexico and present-day Arizona). It is a hot, dry, desert town with one well, and plenty of thirsty men and women seeking to drink more than just water. There are mostly white men, Mexicans, and American Indians living in the town, along with some European immigrants.

Pick a character, good, bad, or ugly (my attempt at Clint Eastwoodesque humor). They can be men or women. Just remember: a frontier town like this has a disproportionate number of wild men and women. There will presumably be at least one saloon and one bordello.

My character:

James Fairfax. 30 years old. From Charles Town, Virginia. A staunch Southern sympathizer, he has not overtly done anything yet to back the Confederacy. He's the town's judge, since no one else in town knows enough law to do the job. He's also single and fond of prostitutes and whiskey. Hates gambling, however. Has dirty blond hair and dark blue eyes. Is 5 ft. 10 in. tall. Heavy build and 200 lbs. even.

I love westerns, count me in.

My character:

Clete Argo, 32 years old. Originally born in Arizona. A born gunfighter. Have killed his share of men in the past and his face shows on numerous wanted posters. He fled to Red Mesa, New Mexico to start a new life. He are a cold killer if it is required of him. He are a very skilled card player and his skill with his Colt Navy is well respected. Has black hair and steel grey eyes. Is roughly about 6,0" tall and 185 lbs. Very slender built. There is some talk of Red Mesa needing a sheriff. Some have suggested that Clete should have the job but Clete himself are not so sure.

Betsy Manner
5'8 redhead with green eyes
Nice body, good clevage.
Entertainment at the Round About Saloon

Betsy grew up knowing that men were animals. Her momma left her when she was but a yungun' and since then, she made her way finding out what animals men could be. She had worked in various saloons and cat houses. She sang a bit, mostly though, she would entertain in her upstairs room from ealry morning until the patrons got to drunk to climb the stairs.

She was a pretty young girl with balzin red hair and green eyes. She clothed her curves in dresses made of the best chiffon and lace a girl could buy. She wore her hair high in tight spiral curls unless you were lucky enough to see it down, then she tied it in a simple white ribbon. She smiled a thousand watt smile and knew most of the patrons on a first name basis.

She would take her morning coffee at the bar and make her way to the kitchen across the street for breakfast. Mostly eggs and biscuts. She never liked to eat much early on, that was when she did most of her business. Before the town got busy and the bible toting mad men came out.



This okey?

Justin DeWitt
5'7"
Dark brown hair, with blue eyes.
Scared body and often covered in soot

Justin is the town blacksmith and gun smith. He came from the northern state of Maine and came west to start a new life. There's a ton of rumors about why he showed up and truth be known, He and James don't get along too well with him being a yankee and all.

He gained the respect of most of the citizenry. With his amiable, yet quiet demenor keeps him out of the way of everyone.

The truth of him being there is like everything else, not quite as exciting as the rumors. His wife died in childbirth and he left the town in grief. He avoids the bordello and pretty much just practices his craft and drawing guns all day and night.

Benjamin James Evans

Benjamin (Ben) Evans

5'9" 160 pounds
Dark Brown Hair
Dark Brown Eyes
The athletic build of a young man who has spent most of his life outdoors.
20 years old



Benjamin Evans was the third son of a Virginia planter. He obviously wasn't going to inherit the family estate and his other older brother had taken the appointment to West Point and Ben definitely didn't want to be a preacher, so he had packed up, kissed his Momma goodbye and left to make a place for himself in this world.

His journey had taken him from Virginia through the back country (to his way of thinking) of North Carolina, to Charleston and Savannah, but he hadn't found the opportunities he was looking for there either. He'd started heading West then, passing through Atlanta and Montgomery before spending some time in New Orleans, yet still nothing stopped this itch he had to keep moving.

Moving Northward, he visited Memphis for a little while before heading west through Missouri and into Kansas. The problems facing "Bleeding Kansas" weren't that much to his liking so he kept on moving, starting to think maybe I'll head to California.

March of 1861 found him in Red Mesa, a place he decided he could stay and visit in for awhile. He enjoyed the Round About Saloon and spent most of his evenings there, drinking, playing cards, enjoying the entertainment.

His funds were starting to get a little low, so he was going to start having to look for a way to make some money.
