Name: Timothy M. Cody
Gender: Male
Position: Hired Gun
Appearance: Tall, fair haired, dark eyed, and gangly Timothy is the epitome of unkempt. His hair hasn't ever known the brush and his mustache appears to have grown out more on one side than the other. He drinks too much and the evidence usually perfumes his breath and decorates his shirt, he cheats at dice and the marks of that are just starting to darken around his eye or beginning to swell around his temple. He wears a lopsided grin and sturdy clothes that have seen more stitches than most doctors, he is perpetually stained, drunk, and broke.
Skills: 3 Gunslingin' (Pistols), 1 Yammerin', 1 tinkerin'
Bio: Timothy was born into a world of crime, poverty, and loose women. As one of seven illegitimate children Timothy was raised with an expectation of becoming a drunken degenerate wretch, one of the useless brigands that would end up being hung for shooting a man over a bottle of whiskey. It is not yet clear whether he intends to meet those expectations or not. He has however managed to become something that his surviving siblings have not, partially happy with the his lot in life. Strange considering that his lot in life is being a poverty stricken gambler and gunslinger.

or if I'm doing this wrong, Horse caring.
Bio: Chavez was born the fifth son of a poor family of farmers at the Mexian-United State border. He was weak as a child and was often sick, but he was amazingly always able to get back to work. Alonzo was in charge of the livestock of his family and he felt a special connection to the horses. When he was 12 however, a band of outlaws raided his family's small farm and butchered his whole family and took away what little wealth they had. Fortunately, he was out of the farm on an errand. When he got back, he mourned and became a silent man. All he had was his horse and the clothes on his back. He had to steal to survive. He travelled from town to town working in honest and dishonest jobs to survive. This is simply the latest of many jobs.

Name: Grigor Bryttviev
Position: Ranch hand
Appearance: Looks around 30, with mostly greying hair, always carries an accordion on the back of his horse, and has a slight Eastern European accent. Doesn't say a great deal that reveals it though. Carries a large blade strapped to his belt and another two strapped to his boots. Has a handsome craggy face with a charming smile that he tends to keep hidden under the brim of his hat.
Skills: Knife throwin' (2 points) Knife fightin' (1 point) Sneakin' (1 point)
Bio: Grigor has come from the East, although he doesn't tend to tell people that. Not many people out West seem to be particularly keen on Bulgarians. But even less people back in Bulgaria were keen on priest-killers, even if Grigor was in the right. His father was a musician and a carpenter, like Jesus was and like Grigor wanted to be, and the priest was a god-damned liar.

He has tanned skin from all the time in the sun. He normally wears a plain white shirt and brown pants, with a brown duster with matching hat. (Of the epic Cowboyish kind).
Skills: 1 Horse Riding, 1 Horse Care, 2 Gunslingin' Revolvers (Pistols)
Bio: James was born into relative luxury, but when his father was killed, his mother and himself were forced to flee to the West. He was barely old enough to become a ranch hand, but he did, keeping his father's revolver with him so he could practise with it, fancying that he would get revenge. He lost the revolver some years ago, but he remembers the promise.

Name: Emma Hamilton
Gender: Female
Position: Ranchand
Appearance: A rambunctious southern belle, Emma is a freckle-faced girl in cowboy leathers with her red hair in a tight bun, green eyes, a slight drawl, an exuberant take-no-prisoners attitude, a slight frame measuring 5'4 and 127 pounds, and a penchant for robbery.
Skills: Sneaking (2), Cookin' (2)
Bio: Emma was raised on a large tobacco farm but grew bored with the country life. She always wanted to head out west where life seemed dangerous and exciting, and a little after her 18th birthday she met a guy who was heading out that way. She ran off with him, unaware at first that he was a bank robber, but when she found out she managed to convince him to let her join his small gang. They needed a person who could scope out their targets without raising suspicion, and she proved to be a good asset for the team. She ran with his gang for a few years before facing that old sting known as betrayal. After a train job, Frank left her and the other three stranded to face the law while he took the money and ran. The men were killed in the shootout; Emma managed to convince the sheriff that she had been kidnapped and got away after giving them Frank Stone's name and description. With no way home and no real desire to go back, she started to work on a nearby ranch owned by a Mr. Dryman, and has been trying to forget her five years as a criminal through honest work.

Name: Jack R. Flint
Position: Sawbones
Gender: Male
Appearance: A slim, slightly bow legged man that has the odd scar or two on his skin, with a big one coming down in a slight cresent moon shape from the right corner of his mouth. He has tanned skin, roughly cut short dark brown hair (most likely done with a knife), rough stubble around his jaw and upper lip and speaks with a slightly coarse voice after taking a bad hit from a cougar. Jack wears dusty and slightly patched clothing that has been through many trials and troubles, and has a nice, if slightly worn, pair of dark brown boots. He also wears a suprisingly clean white apron when fixing people up.
Skills: Gunslingin' (1), Horseriding (1), Medical (2)
Bio: A hard man for hard times, Jack was somewhat of a wanderer for a few years before finding Dryman's Reach. He's seen a bit of everything, from the east coast to the west, and has the scars to prove it. He has learnt to handle himself in a fight, but is a keen hand at almost anything, if he puts his mind to it. He decided to stick with Mister Dryman after seeing the harsh ways that Merrick was treating others, and hopes to put a stop to it before it gets out of hand.

Name: Ezhno Walks-on-Leaves
Gender: Male
Position: Indian Guide
Appearance: Despite his mostly neat and tidy appearance, with a simple rawhide vest over a blue cotton shirt
and his long, coarse black hair pulled back into a tight ponytail, nothing can disguise the fierce, proud
cast of this man's dark features, or the grace with which he walks.
Skills:
Trackin' 1+1=2
Bow-slingin' 1
Knife-fightin' 2
Bio: Walks-on-Leaves was born into the Kayahne tribe, who had roamed the southern outskirts of the Black
Forest and its surrounds for many, many generations, their legends speaking of how the spirits of the trees
roamed freely in the moonlight.
However, unfortunately for the Kayahne, their ancestral home just happened to be one mighty fine piece of
prime cattle-run real estate. When Alistair Merrick and his boys were on the warpath, expanding their
boundaries out over neighboring cattlemen, they didn't think twice about surrounding the poorly-armed
Indians at night and ruthlessly gunning them down. As far as he knows, Ezhno was the only one to make it out
alive, and the experience has left him a little... Unbalanced.
He agreed to lend Amos Dryman his knowledge of the forest; while his tribe never went very deep, he knows
more about the place than most. And he doesn't have much else to do...
Got another idea? Lemme know!

Rather than simply taking the default gunslingin', if you wish you can choose to specialize in either pistols or rifles, (or knives, with the knifeslingin' skill) allowing you to elect, once per reload, (or once every four knives) to do a called shot with your specialized weapon, with a 20% chance of doing double damage on a non-critical hit, or triple damage if you manage a critical. However, when using a non-specialized weapon, (for example, a rifle-user using a pistol) you lose 1 point of to-hit bonus.
Each extra rank in your chosen weapon gives you +5% to doing extra damage on your called shot.
