Re: Desolate Sundown Profile Skeleton · Akikazemoon Wed Sep 17, 2014 7:34 pm

Name:
Ash Riley

Age:
19

Gender:
Male

Occupation:
Sharpshooting Show Performer

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Relationship Status:
Single

Hometown:
Temperance, Oklahoma

Weapon of Choice:
Handguns
(has the ability to dual wield)

Why you're on this train?:
He's on the way to another town in order to get a family heirloom--a cuckoo clock--repaired, because it broke one day. This is his first time travelling out of his hometown, so he's quite excited about it.

Backstory:
Ash has actually had quite the good life. He's had a very warm family life, and he's very close to his parents and his three younger siblings, Clementine, Mary, and Gilbert. They lived together in a small town in a nice little house, and once Ash was old enough, he became interested in marksmanship--though only in the way of shooting non-living targets. He began training with his father, who runs a sharpshooting show, and soon began having his own acts in the show when it performed, drawing large crowds to the tiny little town and giving it a lot more business. At around this time, Ash and his family began often visiting Ash's uncle Charlie, who owned a ranch. Ash learned to ride horses from his uncle, and actually became quite good at it, and was able to incorporate this skill into his acts in the sharpshooting show. Nothing very significantly bad has ever happened to Ash before--however, this has made him sheltered and naïve, unfortunately. He hasn't been outside of his home town before, so leaving for the first time is a very exciting experience for him--however, he doesn't know much about the world outside of his little hometown, so for all he knows, the reality of how things are could hit harder than a load of bricks.

Name: Helena Troy (Alias: Jane Newton)

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Occupation: Barmaid/Pickpocket

Sexuality: Bi-sexual

Relationship Status: Engaged (Is looking for Fiancee)

Hometown: Lebrun, Louisiana

Weapon of Choice: Fists

Why you're on this train?: To get away from the Odio Clan, and look for her fiancee who stopped writing letters to her after a while. She wants answers.

Backstory: Helena was born in a small village town that was very successful during the Gold Rush Yukon times. Though in its prime, the town was glorious, now it’s only a shadow of its form glory. It wasn’t until a passing rich man, by the of Odio Diego came by, looking to buy the town. This was when Helena’s life really changed. Seeing as the town held no value to him, he was about to leave but Helena’s Mother, a woman named Summer, asked if he would take Helena in to work as a maid or servant. Summer was willing to part with her only daughter, who was 9 at the time, for some money in order to survive. Odio agreed, seeing that maybe she would have some use after all, and also bought several other girls as well. The group rode off, going east, and away from the town she called home. It wasn’t before long that he put her “womanly” services to use. That night, as they stopped for the night, he took her and sexually harassed her to the point of unconsciousness. This was only the beginning of her torment.
As the years went on, so did the pain. Odio used her time and time again, cheating on his own wife with her. Not only this, but he made her cook, clean, and live in terrible conditions. She sometimes even looked forward to the harassment so she could sleep for a few hours in a bed. Many of the other girls tried to run away, but were stopped by Odio’s men, and either brought back beaten or were killed. Others merely killed themselves. This was over a span of 7 years, and even after those were hard years, she knew she was not forsaken. She had to do something about this. Helena had a will far stronger for it to be taken by his madman, and even if it waned sometimes, she knew one day justice would come. Finally, one day, it did. One night, as he was planning on having his way with her, she refused, flat out, telling him to go to hell. Angered, Odio jumped at her, but she dodged, grabbing an iron chair and slammed it against the man. As he was on the ground, she took the chair again, and began to beat him, slamming him to the point of death. She started panting, the chair covered in blood, and the corpse in front of her. She couldn’t stay now. So, she took what money she could, knowing where he kept his savings, and ran away. She didn’t care where she went, but knew it had to be far from the Diego estate.
After a few days of walking, surviving the barrens of the west, she arrived in another small town, where she stopped. She went looking for work, finding a job as a barmaid as the local saloon. She spent her golden years there, working happily, though sometimes men would try and take advantage of her uniform. She would show them she was stronger then she seemed…one way or another. After 6 years had past, she thought she deserved more then she was getting. She deserved more for being harassed and barely getting a tip. She had an idea, but it was going to take a lot of preparation and time. She started to practice her thieving skills on the more drunken costumers, taking the pouches of gold from their belts, failing at first, but succeeding later on. She started to learn more tricks, untying things with one hand, getting into locked places, using her looks to get the money and such. It was lovely, having the extra money, and no one saw it coming. This went on for a year or so, until she met someone she simply couldn’t steal from. His name was Kenneth Blackwell. At first, she thought he was easy pickings, working dead end jobs to the point of fatigue, but she simply couldn’t steal from him. Even before he knew her, he could tell she was trying. At the end of the night, he confronted her about it. She thought about running, maybe even fighting, she was good in a fistfight. He let her go, however, telling her stealing would result in jail time, or worse. She didn’t take the man’s word to heart, and continued to do it. Having it constantly plagued her mind made her paranoid, and that made her sloppy. She was caught, and lost her job, and was thrown in jail. She was there for a week, but to her surprise, she was bailed out. She couldn’t believe who it was. Kenneth himself did it.
They two spent a lot of time together, even getting a house, of course after going to a place where she could get a job once again. He even then promised to marry her, only after he came back from the war that was starting. She promised to stay and wait, writing to him when she could. She was happy…truly…for the first time in a long time. When she got a letter from him, it would be the greatest thing ever. However, then something terrible happened. Odio’s men traced her back to where she was living. They found her. She received a letter, thinking it was from Kenneth, only to see it was from Odio’s wife, whom thought Helena had killed her husband for no reason other then money. She knew she couldn’t reason with her, and also knew staying there would put Kenneth in danger. She wanted to wait, and even thought she thought she could take them on, but the risk was too great. She packed everything, and left, not a note, not a word to anyone. She regretted it, but she had no choice.
She found yet another town, now going by the name Jane Newton, thinking of it over hours of changing her name in letter after letter. Also, she slowly started to become addicted to drinking and getting drunk. She couldn’t help it, having lost mostly everything in her life. She continued to use her thieving skills, using them to survive instead of for greed, though sometimes that still comes out. She’s been doing this for 6 years now, until she needed to go west once again. She packed her things, and headed out, into the great blue yonder. She hopes that maybe she’ll find Kenneth, but she also knew maybe Odio would be nearby. She would have to see.

Name:
Reuben Quick

Age:
20

Gender:
Male

Occupation:
Does a variety of different jobs--not all of them being very savory. As he's traveled about, he's taken on whatever jobs get him closer to finding what he's looking for. Generally, he takes on jobs of being a bodyguard, but he's also done a variety of other things of varying seriousness.

Sexuality:
Homosexual

Relationship Status:
Single

Hometown:
He doesn't know exactly where he was really born, but he grew up in a small orphanage in New York state.

Weapon of Choice:
Daggers--heirlooms of his family.

Why you're on this train?:
He's continuing the search that he's been on for many years now, and feels as though he's coming close to a new revelation.

Backstory:
His entire life, Reuben has had no idea who his real family was. He had been left at an orphanage as an infant, with nothing from his family but an old pocket watch. As he grew up, his desire to know who his real family was continued to grow--and he decided that one day, he would set off on a journey to find them. He was never adopted by any parents, and as such, grew up in the orphanage, eventually helping to take care of the younger children there. As he became an older teen, though, he decided that he wanted to move on, and one day, left without warning. He felt quite lost out in the world at first, and fell in with a less than savory bunch of people, and was quite exposed to the underbelly of society. He found himself staying largely in some of the bigger cities as he continued to search, following clue by clue as he searched for his family. He took on many different jobs--some honorable, some not, some that he's fine talking about, and others that embarrass him to no end--but none of it mattered, as long as it brought him closer to finding his parents. Even with only his pocket watch to go off of, he managed to find new clues, and eventually boarded a train, following the trail, hoping that he would find the next step of the chase.

She taught her how to fight and how to ride bareback on a horse. Brera soon forgot her previous family and adapted to her new home easily.
One day, the chief of the Seneca wanted to aid their brothers in the Badlands, but didn't want to send too many people to aid them, because of their own defense. Brera volunteered, despite her mother's pleas for her to stay. Brera knew this was her destiny and needed to go to meet it. The Mother agreed...and let her go. She traveled for many days until she made it to the village, meeting with the Shaman, and learning his plight. She plans to stay and fight the humans if she needs to.

Bicurious

Relationship Status:
Single

Hometown:
Benstown (Just outside Washington DC)

Weapon of Choice:
Blow Dart Gun (Sleep Darts)

Why you're on this train?:
I've been sent on a mission by the academy I represent to head West in search for new Botanical Species as well as Artifacts of the Native Cultures. (Secretly: Yes he's here to do that, but really he's going to steal and sell whatever he can find to the highest bidder)

Backstory:
Tomas lived a fairly cushy life with his Father, a white politician, his Mother, a Cherokee medicine woman, and his Older Brother Elias. They were both raised with a mix of College level teachings in Politics, Public Speaking, Philosophy and Spiritualism as well as survival skills and abilities for identifying plants and animals, as well as a healthy ambition for adventure. Tomas' father also taught him and his brother to always be crafty when under pressure and that their wits were the only tool worth having in a tight spot. His father taught them how to gamble and narrowly cheat in politics and other things, eventually their father's bad credit among the people in their town and in Washington caught up to them. He was said to be a schemer and liar and during an economic drop the townsfolk scapegoated them and burned down the Celt's Manor. His parents died in the fire but Tomas and Elias made it out safely, unfortunately they were seen fleeing the scene and a bounty was placed on their heads. In order to escape the police Tomas and Elias lived for several years stealing and selling concocted poisons, herbs for medicine and rare artifacts they nabbed off of unsuspecting people. However eventually Elias grew tired of running for the law and slipped away in the night, in order to make things better for his younger brother he turned himself in and took the blame for everything, allowing Tomas to return to a normal life... after mourning his brother's sacrifice Tomas claimed his and his brother's inheritance and put money on a tuition to an actual university. There he made his way scamming other students and learning more about history, botany, society and human behavior, never planning on using it for anything scholarly but always waiting to return to the life he preferred. After Elias' death Tomas couldn't wait to get back into the World of Adventure and Risk but used his resources to ensure his brother's sacrifice wasn't wasted. Tomas has a writ from the University of Ashmouth that he is a botanist and archeologist exploring the West so he has an excuse as to why he is anywhere doing anything potentially suspicious.

Name: Niklas Camden

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Occupation: Bounty Hunter

Sexuality: Unknown

Relationship Status: Presumed single, refuses to answer

Hometown: Towson, Maryland

Weapon of Choice: Colt Peacemaker revolver, Winchester Repeating Rifle

Why you're on this train?: "Hunt outlaws. Make money. The usual."

Backstory: Born to a Finnish immigrant mother and a railman, Niklas never quite felt at home in Maryland. For one, he wasn't Catholic. For another, he hated seafood. In the war, he lost his two older brothers, Kai and Jari, who were volunteers with the Confederacy, when the Union conducted Gilmor's Raid in town. He admired them - but never quite understood the point of large-scale war. When he heard that "there's gold in them thar hills," he grew curious of this land far out. Then he saw that there was a need for lawmen. This wasn't bad either - better than prospecting, for sure. But it sounded almost as boring as railwork. Then he heard another call. "Freelance Lawmen," the advertisement read. But everyone he talked about with it told him exactly what it was - a headhunter. A bounty hunter. This sounded fun. First chance he got, he hopped on a train at the station named for his family, and rode it as far as it would take him.

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Occupation: Hunter

Sexuality: Homosexual (Closet)

Relationship Status: Single

Hometown: Cheyenne Territory

Weapon of Choice: Hatchet, bow and arrow

Why you're on this train?: "My horse died and I was near the station. I needed to get home somehow."

Backstory: Tobit Sureflight was born to a missionary woman to the Cheyenne and a brave. He grew up, trained to be a hunter, since his impure blood forbid him from being a brave. He learned quickly that this wasn't the only thing he couldn't do - for one, he couldn't be fully accepted by either the white society or the Cheyenne. But he knew the Cheyenne better - that's why he didn't leave. Things did get worse for him one day, when he discovered that, while his peers were lusting after the girls of their age group, he... wasn't. In fact, he preferred his peers. He knew this was not how he was supposed to feel, at least according to custom, but when he found a young cattleman when he was out on the hunt, the two of them got to talking. This cattleman shared the same feelings. In the morning, Tobit left the tent, slightly confused, but definitely pleased. It was then that he noticed his horse was dead. Luckily he wasn't too far from the nearest town, which did include a train station.
