She wore a dusty coat that was a few sizes too large and hung poorly on her frame. She smiled broadly and chatted up everyone she came to and said, "Hi, I'm Lavinia Fi-I mean, Hunter. Yes, that's it. Lavinia Hunter.. Nice ta meetcha. I'm from out East but came here to start my life over! And I certainly didn't used to have an inn. No, sir. But I can sling drinks if anyone is looking for barhelp."

"Three years. Three miserable years"

Perched upon the well-worn stool in the corner was Jeremiah Snead mumbling into his whiskey. He first set foot in Talon's Creek as a man on a mission with a steely gaze and a noticeable vigor. He was on his way to California where his fortune awaited, buried beneath the earth. This was supposed to be a stop on the way, no different from the dozens past, but something went wrong. First he fell in love, then he fell into the bottle.

Every day Jeremiah orders a double whiskey on the rocks and contemplates his past and future. What keeps him here? Fate? Fear? Yes fear of the unknown that lies ahead. What if he fails? Or worse, what if he succeeds? Given a choice, he chose not to choose. But this day would be different. Jeremiah dropped some coins on the bar-top, kicked the dust from his withering hat and pushed his way through the saloon doors. The sun shone bright, the sky a beautiful blue.

"Time takes no prisoners."

There's gold in them thar hills, and by God, he's going to find it.

Alden Sneed came to Talon's Creek not to seek his fortune, but for respect. The third son of a wealthy bank owner, he does not need to worry about money, but he is always seeking his father's stingy approval. He hopes to gain this by running a profitable branch of the family bank.

An intellectual, he is not accustomed to getting his hands dirty. While not exactly a coward, he definitely prefers to resolve conflict by talking, not through violence.

I'd suggest that if they're not part of a single entity in some way, you should probably pick one as your player character and use the other as an NPC, but we can work​ it out.


Games are very tricky and I haven't decided yet. Hmmm... Cocksucker!*

*Total shameless Deadwood ref

ETA yes, am playing, just haven't settled character arrangement, but human Rosie is named Rosie Boxcars, and Rattlesnake Rosie, well who can improve on rattlesnake? May add npc, but mainly these two.

OK I gave up writing a jackie chan inspired chinese character so instead I'm just gonna be
William Windsor, Editor of Cosy Moments, a little journal well known for its shocking exposes on corruption around the maintenance of a group of tenement buildings in New York city. Originally from Wyoming, Billy comes to Talon Creek after a tip-off he got from his old editor that "something was going down and it's going to be big". He jumped at the opportunity to leave the big city and go jump around in the fields and pasteurize cows or whatever it is cowfolk do. One might even consider he was ready to whoop, which his current proprietor, one Ronald Psmith, Esq. expressly and good naturedly told him to get out of his system, for there was work to be done.

WE ARE ALL FLOATING IN THE WINDS OF TIME. BUT YOUR CANDLE WILL FLICKER FOR SOME TIME BEFORE IT GOES OUT -- A LITTLE REWARD FOR A LIFE WELL LIVED. FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT...

*rings a bell*

LAST CALL, everybody, this is your LAST CALL!

You've got roughly 24 hours before we declare sign-ups closed. We have eleven players signed up, plus one more on the reserve list, so the game is going ahead on schedule, but we can take up to seven more players. If you want to play, get your name down ASAP!

As the Mexican gentleman stepped outside of his shop, he couldn't help but look at his freshly painted sign with pride, "Trustworthy Haberdasher", in bold, honest looking red letters, though regrettably some of the paint had dripped down from the lettering. He stroked the hairs of his comically oversized handlebar mustache as he remembered the hard years of work as a vaquero it took to save up the money for his very own shop, but he'd finally made it.

Things were just about looking up for Joaquin Pablo Tuco Escobar Murrieta Ramirez.

He looked down and patted some dust off his old poncho; he hadn't been in the habit of wearing the garment knitted by his dear old mother since he came to America, but he had spilled some red wine on his white shirt the night before and the rest of his clothes were hanging from a line to dry. He chuckled fondly of the past night's revelries, having been invited to a fancy dress party for the well-to-do of the community. In fact, unbeknownst to Joaquin, he had forgotten to remove the thin cat-burglar mask fastened over his eyes that had formed art of his costume, being so comfortable that he simply hadn't noticed.

He had some paperwork to sort out at the bank, so we went along his merry way, smiling at passers by. Regrettably his upbringing and frugality had given him a less than complete set of teeth, but he hoed that his inner warmth would at least shine through to his goodly neighbors. First impressions are everything after all.

I want to join, but I couldn't think of a character that completely pleased me yet. So yeah, I'm in. Sorry in advance for ruining everything. :(

And stop being so good at this, everyone! You're intimidating me with your fancy-shmancy actual good writing!

Praise Jesus, especially when it's sunny outside because Jesus would totally be cool with you praising while you get a nice tan.
