Your Country of Origin: America
Your Desired Business: Retail Butchers
[4] You are Jeremiah Nix, a member of the fledgling middle class living in the victorious northern states of the USA.

Your Country of Origin: Spain, but living in America
Your Desired Business: Tire factory
[2] You are Tecla Travieso, a Spanish immigrant to the prosperous USA. You were forced to leave your home country after your fledgling business in the colonies failed and debt collectors came after you, but now, with your modest personal savings and business knowledge intact, you're ready to begin anew in the land of the free. You hope your poor English will suffice for now.

Your Country of Origin: Prussia, soon to be Germany.
Your Desired Business: A small arms factory.
[5] You are Dietrich Haas, proud progeny of the wealthy Haas aristocratic house. The men of your family are all cavalrymen by trade, and you were no different. Now that you've served your term and put down your rifle and sabre, you're looking into setting yourself up in a business that will support the men of your former trade. With the riches of your family backing you, you've plenty of room for error.
Name: John Tourque
Origin: America
Desired business: Garments and clothing
[4] You are John Tourque, a resident of the Southern states. You got your start in the garments business making uniforms for confederate soldiers in your cellar, but now that the civil war is long over, you're considering putting your skills back to use in civilian industry.

Your Name: Dustan Hache
Your Country of Origin: America
Your Desired Business: Convenience store/General store
[4] You are Dustan Hache, a resident of America's ever-growing western frontier. Though you initially began your trade as the owner of a general store in a tiny frontier town, you sold it off and moved on once the settlement grew into a proper American township. Now, however, you're ready to get back to work serving the goods, and you've got enough money and expertise to make it happen.
Your Name: Winston Williamsford
Your Country of Origin: England
Your Desired Business: Oil!
[1] You are Winston Williamsford, and you've seen better days. Though you always wanted to style yourself above your class, there's no hiding that you were the son of a factory worker. Life with eight hungry siblings (five by the time you moved out) was taxing, and even though you've got a job digging for oil-rich shale in the Scottish valleys, you look set to continue the life of poverty your family has long been stuck in. You've got big dreams, however, and you're going to make the best of them.
Feel free to post your first actions as businessmen now (though it may be a while before Toaster and penguinofhonour can really call themselves businessmen). Things will mostly be decided by dice, but sound business decisions and playing safely will minimize the effects of bad rolls and maximize good ones.
