Thank you for your interest in applying.

This game will be a semi-realistic depiction of the American Old West in the late 19th century. There are many things about that period and region that are unpleasant to depict. We will be lampshading those social problems, but not actually depicting them.

For example: There will be no mechanical disadvantage to playing a woman in this game, despite the prejudice against them during this time period. Some characters will say or imply hurtful things, but these are not intended to be sympathetic characters.

You will be playing a character who lived or grew up in the newly-incorporated territory of Cainin. Several years ago, violence and banditry grew to be such a problem that most people fled the territory.

You may have left before this, and luckily avoided the worst of the violence. You may have fled with danger on your heels. You lost something or someone important to you. It may have been your land, your business, a loved one, or even a part of your body.

Five years have passed. You have formed a posse of individuals who believe that justice, or at least vengeance, is yet in the cards.

To begin, I would like you to describe what sort of character you want to play. For the past five years you have been preparing, whether you knew it or not, to return to your home and bring justice. What have you been doing?

Character Creation

In your Character Bio, you may put whatever you want in the first line.

In the Second Line, I would like you to put:

Ben 0 Par 0 Tgh 0

Referring to your current Bennies, your Parry, and your Toughness. This will allow me to tell if an NPC has hit you, and if they did damage to you.

****

Your character is automatically a Human. They will begin with 1 Novice-level Edge.

Your character will begin with $200 worth of gear, purchased from the lists in the Gear & Weapons thread.

****

We will be using Savage worlds Adventure Edition rules. I might also be persuaded to let some of the more mundane aspects of sixth gun or deadlands in, if you find them critical to your character.

****

Once you have completed your character sheet, you can send me a NEW Private Message thread. I need a new one from your character, rather than your rpol user name.

Feel free to include a new Tag for your character. It can be up to 20 characters. It could be something like "Brawler" or "Gunslinger" or something else that distinguishes your character on The Cast page.
