Welcome to the Wild West RPG. Set in 1868, just recently after the end of the American Civil War, you can do just about anything you want to. Play as anything or anyone from that timeset, really. From outlaws to sheriffs to gamblers to pioneers to merchants to immigrants to politicians...well, you get the idea.

OK, now because this RPG is going to give its players so many freedoms, it is going to be a little different from the others.

Name: Whatever you want, although I request you have both a first and a last name.
Age: An age. Be reasonable.
Gender: Male or female.
Class: Make your own class; anything you can think of.
Skills: Only two for the entire game. You can fill this out, if you have a specific idea or two for it, or I can, after you've made your class.
Description: A physical description and background; optional.
Location: Where you are at right now. You can start out anywhere in the United States of 1868; that includes territories.
Equipment: None
Money: None
Debts/Favors: None
Allies: None
Enemies: None
Health Status: Healthy
Fame/Infamy Status: Unknown

This is a very flexible RPG. Because it does not have a lot of storyline or character interaction, it does not require for its players to have a strict attendance, however it will be very complicated and you need to be imaginitive; remember, you have a lot of liberties in this game that you wouldn't in most others. In this way, it is very different from my other RPGs. However, I think that this will be very fun; just life in the Old West, yanno?
Anyways, so....
Let it begin.

I'll sneak into better cover, like dense bushes. Then I'll return fire.

With some difficulty, you sneak into some bushes and return fire. However, you aren't trained and don't know very well how to handle your pistol. Soon, the enemy are closing in on you.

You get up from your cover and run to the city, but on the way there, you feel a sudden stinging pain in your leg; you've been shot! You don't think you can go anywhere now.

Hide somewhere in the mean time. Then (if I can) Cauterize the wound with my most-likely-very-hot gun.

You hide, but can't cauterize it though your gun is very hot. You don't know how, really.

Don't you just burn the spot?
Nevermind.
Hehe. Cult fish.
My camp shouldn't be far off, right? Or did I pass it......?

You get a job, using Persuade to help you get better pay. As it is, your job is pretty boring.

Aw, well, yeah, but....it's harder than it sounds! And besides, the bullet is still in there; it wouldn't be a good idea to close it up until you get the bullet out.
Anyway, yeah, your camp is pretty close to where the shootout is occurring.

I draw the line here; you can't make up your own allies, Balerion.

I didn't make them up. There were 4 principal investors of the Central Pacific Railroad.

Anyway... I go and see if anyone is about wherever the heck I am that could assist me in getting home.
