This rp will be set during the old west, around 1878. In Arizona in a dusty town named Purgatory's End. At this time, the west is far from won. bandits and outlaws roam the desert. Indians struggle just to survive. In this untamed and dangerous land, how will you make your fortune? Will you bring law and order to this area? Or will you plunge it into chaos. What part will you play in one of the most interesting periods in American history?

My character's name is Eli, a mysterious and quick witted gambler whose passing through town, trying to make a quick score.

Can I be a chinese martial arts expert who deflect bullets with his teeth on a quest to rescue a kidnapped princess?

Just kidding,of course.I'd like to be something random,though.

You can be whatever. That list is just some ideas for those who need help.

Fine,I'm going to be an exiled Chinese nobleman,who fights with both a sword and a pair of pistols.He has no reasons to be in the town.

Oooh,sounds mysterious.

Hired Gun. I'll post character specs later.

Very mysterious indeed. I'll make a list of players when a few more people sign-up.

How about putting me down as an Indian tracker, shaman, spooky-type guy who sort of hovers around the fringes of society?

Sure, sounds fine

My character's name is Jericho. Jericho has barely any knowledge of his past, but he knows that he is a hired gun - a quick, stealthy, and ruthless assassin. He has absolutely know alignment in the West, especially because he doesn't know his past and where he came from, so he works for both good and evil.

Got all of you on the list.

Come on people. This rp is from the same guy who brought you The Godfather and The Fall of America threads. And this one will be just as good, sign up today!

Havent those threads died yet? Thats the problem with these threads, they have a short life span.

The Fall of America is alive and well. But alas, the Godfather departed this world, but it was a good run with that one.

We should start soon.We have six people already.More than that is too much,honestly.Plus,I gotta go soon.

Nope, I want to see some more people sign-up. But not too many like with The Fall of America rp. Don't worry, I'll start the thread when I think enough people signed-up.

It was good having lots in the FoA thread...lots of storylines...

Perhaps too many... But yeah, it's interesting

How will this play out exactly? Will it all be from our own character's perspectives and their daily lives? Or will there be a storyline that involves everyone? And one more thing, a bit of a n00bish question, but I want to clear this up: we can interact with other people's characters right?

Yes, you can interact. It will be a mix between a storyline and your everyday lives.

Come on people. This is a great rp idea (like all my others).

Cool rp idea! I like it..can't wait to start the rp.

My character's name is Halona, which is native american for fortunate, however her life has not been. She is a lone native american woman, traveling away from her tribe because she is on the run for the murder of an Indian man that tried to rape her. Since the man was one of her father's favorite warriors, he wanted to kill his daughter for not giving in to the man and doing what women are expected to do. That was when in the dark of night, she knocked out her father and slipped out of the village and began her travel as a run away. The woman not knowing who or what is after her as she makes her way from town to town. She has ended up in this new town, about a month after she had run away from her tribe.

Hmm,well,it's getting late here and I'm sleepy.I signed up approximately two hours ago,hoping to get something done.Now,time has passed and I have wasted my own time,apparently.

So,good night.Mabye I'll join the RP later on or something.Probably not.I am starting spring break tommorow,so I doubt it.

Description: While having barely any knowledge of his own history, he had always known that he is a hired gun. Jericho is quick, stealthy, brutal, and ruthless in his job. However, when he's not executing an assignment, he is mostly kept to himself around others. Jericho's own alignment and morals are based soley around his proffession, meaning, he can work for outlaws and kill good people, or he can work for justice and execute the wicked.
