The first time he shot a man, back during the civil war. It was a skirmish between cavalry units.

Clementine Baxter

5 background/concept
1 Clem was raised by her father in the circus out east, where she learnt to shoot.
2 Her father beat her when she was a child,... now she won't stand by and watch when children are hurt.
3 She's a performer: she loves the limelight but she's hiding insecurity... she wants to be liked, maybe even loved but finds it hard to trust men.
4 She's been reading dime novels about the west since she was little and secretly dreams of being a hero like in the books.
5 Clementine shot her father following a particularly brutal beating which caused a miscarriage. She took her guns, horse and her father’s money with her then ran westward to escape the law and to make her name for herself.

2 goals (1 character, 1 player)
1 She wants to find love, but doesn’t really think it’ll happen.
2 It’d be cool if she were to meet a famous person from the novels, whether a sheriff, cowboy, or outlaw.

2 secrets (1 known, 1 not)
1 Her real name is Belle Carter.
2 He wasn’t really her father (although she doesn’t know that).. and he killed her mother in a drunken rage (she doesn’t know how her mother died)

3 People (2 friends, 1 enemy)
1 Erasmus Burnett (friend), the young and charming acrobat, with whom she shared a dalliance with after more than a few whiskeys back in the circus. He’s still a friend but doesn’t know she was pregnant.
2 Lottie Macintyre (friend), a woman who Clem travelled with on her way westward. Clem helped the woman, who now own a general store, look after her children on the train.
3 Francis Owen (enemy). A rich man's son who Clem pulled a gun on when he was making unwanted advances on Lottie on their way out west, embarrassing him in front of his men.

3 memories, mannerisms, or quirks
1 Has recurring nightmares of her father beating her when she was a child.
2 Loves children and is very protective of them.
3 Hates being dirty and will always seek out opportunities to wash, even on the road.

Edward Wilson (actually Samuel Taylor)

Five facts:
1. Samuel Taylor was born in Waterloo, Texas, today called Austin, in 1834.
2. His mother was a prostitute. She cared about him, in a way, but his childhood was not very nice. He developed a temper and easily got into fights.
3. His mother died of pneumonia when he was 12, and he had to survive on his own. He worked many small jobs before getting into a life of crime.
4. He joined a band of robbers who mainly attacked coaches. In 1863, a robbery went pear-shaped and he was thrown in jail.
5. He signed up to fight on the Confederate side to get out of jail, although he did not believe in their cause. During a battle in the last throes of the war, Samuel was separated from his company, MIA, and on the battlefield he found the mangled corpse of a fellow soldier, Edward Wilson. A quick switch of tags and documents, and Samuel took Wilson's name and identity before riding west, towards California.

Two goals:
1. A parts of "Edward" would want to live an easier life. He was forced by necessity on a life of crime.
2. He is still afraid that someone in Texas will track him down, and he wants to avoid that.

Two Secrets:
1. Of course the fact that he's not actually Edward Wilson, but Samuel Taylor, is his greatest secret.
2. A couple of members of his old gang are hunting him down, believing him responsible for their arrest and not believing that he died.

Three People
1. Connie O'Donnell, daughter of an Irish rancher. She was his first love, back in Texas, and he hasn't forgotten her.
2. Father Robert Campbell, an army chaplain who tried to help him spiritually. He didn't succeed, but he made him somehow a believer.
3. Terry and James Cobland, twins, the two former band members hunting him down They were the leaders, and never trusted him fully.

Three Memories:
1. Being kicked out of his bed and downstairs to the saloon because his mother had to "work".
2. The kiss he stole from Connie during a dance in Midsummer, and how the bonfires' light played with her red hair and green eyes.
3. The first time he killed a man, a traveler who had tried to shoot him with a Derringer. Samuel shot him in the chest with his revolver.

Five Things
1. Otamakhpiya, or Many Clouds, is an Oglala Sioux warrior. He has recently found himself transported to New York City, Central Park, under strange circumstances…(see below)
2. He is extremely mistrustful of Wasicun, the white men, the fat takers. He has learned to be reasonable, but is wary of their promises and does not consider any of them to be his true friend…not forever.
3. Many Clouds was present for the Treaty of Fort Laramie as a just blooded warrior. He had fought the Wasicun and the Crow honorably to defend Oglala land, and was pleased to see that Red Cloud had secured a promise from the Wasicun to honor their territory. The night of the treaty, though, Many Clouds and his fellow warriors were alerted to the sounds of their horses screaming. They ran to the place where the horses were kept to find Crow warriors killing them, and the Crow shaman, Long Hair, presiding over them. Many Clouds and his band stopped the Crow, but Long Hair lifted a hand and uttered terrible words, sending Many Clouds, the other Oglala, the Crow, and several horses, to the Place of Shadow.

There, they were beset upon by the undead of the Shadow Plane and were forced to work together. After several days of relentless running and battle, though, only Many Clouds and one horse were still alive, and he would have soon perished at the hands of zombies and skeletons had he not been rescued by fetchlings. They were able to return him via shadow walk, but warned him that he would be far from home…
4. He has been chafing under the well meaning care of the American National Geographic and Statistics Society, which is engaged in an internal war to either place him in a zoo, or merely speak with him about Lakota customs and return him to the Plains.
5. He is patient, but is preoccupied with his unfinished business; coup with the Crow, return to Red Cloud’s band…but his mind has been on the Shadow Plane…

Goals
1. Many Clouds wants to go home, plain and simple. He is concerned that the Wasicun and the Crow will not honor the treaty. He is worried that Red Cloud will become complacent.

2. Many Clouds also keeps thinking about the Shadow Plane. He would like to bring back the bodies of the dead…and perhaps see someone…
[/b]

Secrets
1. While Many Clouds does want to return home, he feels oddly changed by his time in the Shadow Plane. He wonders if spirits will speak to him the way they do to healers and medicine folk. (this will explain his eventual ranger magic)
2. (unaware) Long Hair was trying to save Many Clouds and others. The Crow were paid by the Wasicun to sabotage the treaty and kill off Lakota, but Long Hair put a stop to it by sending the Lakota—and Crow—away.

Friends and Enemies
1. Professor H.F. Chelmsworth - an enthusiastic clarinet player and anthropologist, he would love to help out Many Clouds to return to the Plains. He has been negotiating strongly on Many Clouds’ behalf with the other faculty of New York University.

1.5 Professor Farris Montjoy - Head of the physiology and phrenology department at NYU, who would like nothing better than to measure Many Clouds’ skull and declare him a primitive savage. Intends to lock up Many Clouds in a zoo.

2. Long Hair—an unlikely ally, a shaman known to work strange magic for the Crow tribe. The Crow are enemies of the Lakota, but have been known to occasionally parley.

3. Kalessio—a lovely fetchling of the Shadow Plane, and an oracle of the walled city that rescued Many Clouds. She arranged for his shadow walk return. While their relationship was platonic, they found themselves reluctant to part…

4. K. Chantwell Boyle - an alchemist and secret follower of the Runes of Greed. He has been whispering in the ears of the US Military that there is gold and other precious, unusual metals, in the Black Hills and has been a de facto advisor during the Indian Wars, usually out of sight. He intends to profit off misery created by the military’s despoil of the Indian lands.

Memories
1. Many Clouds and three Crow were hemmed in on all sides by the zombies. More lurched towards them in the pervasive half-light. Many Clouds could see them crouched in his periphery…feeding on the fallen Oglala. ”By Wakan Tanka and the Wakinyan, I shall fight the unliving forever!” Somehow, the gods heard his plea, and his arrows struck far truer than before.

2. ”Who are they, Father?” said the youth, not yet given his warrior name. Many Horses turned to his son, his eyes saddened. ”They are the Wasicun, the fat-takers. They have given parley and treaty with the Sioux, but never take your eyes off them. Always they search for ways to break their word.”

3. ”I’ve made arrangements for Keyestrali to come. He has…entanglements with umbral dragons, but he is respected. He can get you passage to the Plane of Light.” Kalessio’s face turned a darker shade of grey. She was a lithe, lively oracle, at home in the pitch black forests of the Shadow Plane. ”…I…shall not forget your time here,” she said, and then broke into a smile. Many Clouds returned her smile with a soft-eyed look, rare for the warrior. ”You’ve given me a second home, Kalessi. If I could…” One slender grey finger on his lips stopped any further apologies.

Appearance
Otamakhpiya is a Lakota of average height, and appears lean and nimble. He is at ease in the saddle and quiet in soft leathern moccassins, with buckskins and light leather armor. His face is at times painted with red for battle, and a yellow zigzag across the forehead for lightning speed. He has a bracelet made of grey wood as a keepsake from the Shadow Plane, and two honor feathers in his hair, those of a hawk. He rarely lets his guard down after having been around dangers for so long, but among other Lakota, or perhaps a trusted friend, he is quick to laugh and joke. The Wasicun are people to be wary around.

5 Facts:
1. Hunting men was a lot like hunting animals. Learn their habits, their connections, territories. It was a simple thing for Jonah to switch his profession when tragedy struck.
2. When he was young he spent some time in a traveling circus. A falling accident saw him hospitalized and unable to continue on with the circus forcing him to return home to recover.
3. His father taught him to hunt with a gun. He also learnt to protect the ranch they owned from savages and outlaws that sometimes tried to raid them and their neighbors.
4. Jonah married and continued to live on the ranch and among other duties took over the horse breeding from his uncle. He seemed to have a way with animals. He was even called a horse whisperer sometimes.
5. Not long ago his wife was unfortunately gunned down by criminals while she was headed to town. He took the law into his own hands, leaving the ranch to find her killer and bring him to justice.
6. After losing her he was never the same and left the ranch, taking his favorite horse, Rundown. He makes his living as a bounty hunter. Sometimes wealthy, sometimes scraping by, always seeking justice for those wronged.

2 Goals
1. Jonah hopes to one day settle down and live out his days in peace but knows the proven scripture, "Those who live by the sword..."
2. I want Jonah to become famous for his crack shooting skills and for all to fear his name and wish to never cross his path.

2 Secrets
1. His wife isn't actually dead but was kidnapped and the man he killed for her death was innocent of it (though still a wanted man for other crimes).
2. His brother Bartholomew was the one who kidnapped his wife. He had always been a troublemaker and had run away from home long ago. He always fancied Ruth and now raises Thomas as his own.

3 People
1. Ruth is his wife. They were planning to soon start a family before she was kidnapped. That was three year ago.
2. Thomas is his son. Ruth was pregnant with him at the time of her kidnapping. He is almost three years old.
3. Matthew is his uncle. he taught him most of the skills he knows, guns, horses, tracking.
4. Bartholomew is his only brother. An ex-outlaw, trying to live a peaceful life with his now 'family'.

3 Memories
1. The first time he shot a bird on his own. He was only thirteen years old but he felt so proud of himself.
2. The traveling circus had a pair of lions. He had once snuck into their enclosure and almost lost an arm. Lucking he escaped with barely a scratch.
3. When he became a man his father gave him his favorite firearm. A Sharps, breech-loading rifle. It is Jonah's only weapon.
