THE ROLES

The Available Roles.
Gunman: Unlimited — Important lines of defense for the camp, a few are often posted on the perimeter of the camp to keep them safe from those who would stumble upon them. The others are members of the robbery teams and will go off every so often to pull a robbery. They are all skilled with various guns and can be dangerous in a gunfight. That being said, many of the camp's gunmen can be reckless and wild, leading to frequent injuries.

Gunwoman: Unlimited — The camp women decided some time ago that they couldn't rely on the men for the only lines of defense within the group so they decided to learn how to shoot guns as well. Now they are important members of the group and will help with robberies or simply guard the camp. They are a lot smarter and more responsible than many of the men, they tend to fill in for them when they are injured.

Thief: 0/4 — Subtle and quick, they are pickpockets at the top of their games. They usually go into town and steal their property, or they go on robberies that require a more subtle way to get goods. Regardless, they are skilled and important members of the group when it comes to earning money.

Camp Cook: 0/1 — Camp food never tasted any good until they showed up. They have been feeding everyone in the camp and keeping them as healthy as possible. They cook whatever they can with the limited ingredients provided. They work closely with the camp's hunters and administrators in order to get what they need for the food.

Cook's Assistant: 0/1 — Training alongside the cook, they are learning the ins and outs of the kitchen and how to provide for the group. They don't usually make full meals alone but recently they've been allowed to make breakfast a couple of days out of the week.

Hunter: 0/4 — They go out and hunt for the camp, but also will gather things they find such as herbs, fruit, vegetables, etc. They are excellent trackers and have a wide variety of knowledge on bows, traps, skinning, and different flora and fauna in the area. They are the main source of food for the group so they are very important for the survival of them all.

Debt Collector: 0/3 — The Prewitt gang rarely lends out money, but sometimes they do when Rasmus runs into old friends or finds an investment he's interested in. When someone fails to pay them back, they are the ones to show up on their porch and figure out why that is. When Rasmus is not present, Mitch is in charge of them.

Enforcer: 0/2 — Some of the more intimidating and stronger members of the group are often brought by Rasmus to meetings with other gangs or when the debt collectors go off to collect. They are the only ones that Rasmus will trust to rough someone up without killing them and getting whatever it is he's looking for. When Rasmus is not present, Mitch is in charge of them.

Camp Doctor: 0/1 — Maybe not a doctor in a professional sense, but they certainly are qualified now. They have taken out bullets and arrows, pried off traps, set broken limbs, and eased the harsh coughing of the children throughout winter. Incredibly important to the group, they are the main source of health support, especially when on the run.

Camp Veterinarian: 0/1 — Just like the doctor, the camp's vet is very important. They tend to the horses when they pull up lame, take care of the camp dogs, and make sure any animals the camp owns are healthy and getting what they need. Generally saves them money as they have learned to shoe horses as well and do trimmings so the group doesn't have to go to farriers anymore.

Blaster: 0/1 — A demolishing expert if you will, they are in charge of any and all explosives that are required for a robbery. Usually used when making hits on other gangs or trains, they are extremely important, and their merchandise even more so. While they've almost blown off their fingers a little too often, they are the only person Rasmus would hand a stick of dynamite to.

Camp Trader: 0/2 — Recently having started up a business while in Crow's Alley, these two make goods from pelts, bones, and other things from what animals the hunters bring in. When they have a large amount of them, they usually send them to town or some contacts that will buy them for a decent price. They have even been known to dabble in shipping booze for a decent price.

Rustler: 0/4 — They are the ones to steal cattle or horses from farms in whatever area they are in. Sometimes it's to keep for the gang but more often than not it's to sell to competitors. They are fast and quick-witted, always knowing how to lose people that are chasing them down. But sometimes they can get a little too cocky and that can mess up any plan easily.

Handmaiden: Unlimited — Usually the older members of the group or new mothers, tend to hang around camp and keep it clean while watching the kids. Quite important, they take care of the young, sick, injured, old, and animals, especially when most of the group is off committing a robbery. Most new members are in this role before they find their place in the group.

The Taken Roles.
The Leader: Rasmus Prewitt — He's been in charge of the gang since he was 15 years old. He has gone from a pretty laid-back leader to rather strict and harsh on those who break his rules. He doesn't go on robberies very often because he is getting older and he prefers to talk to the older members of the gang to come up with plans on how to keep them out of trouble. He is currently trying to make up for lost money from Crow's Alley and is making plenty of connections in Serenity Gulch.

The Second-In-Command: Jeb Hendrix — He's been the right-hand man of Rasmus since he first joined the gang. They are close friends, but he has no problem voicing his concerns about what Rasmus may be doing. He is usually the first person people go to when they have a question and don't want to bother their leader. He is a lot easier on the members, especially the younger ones because he understands they have to learn and grow.

The Accountant/Lawman: Otto Silver — Lawman turned gunman, he helped get the gang out of trouble back when they were first starting out. He handles things on the legal aspect and advises Rasmus and Jeb on what steps the group needs to take to stay out of trouble. He's also in charge of their money and is the only one (outside of Rasmus) who has any access to it. He takes his job seriously and doesn't like it when people try to mess with the group's money.

Camp Butcher: Wilbur Fellows — A bit of an introvert, he tends to stick to himself and process the goods the hunters bring back. He is pretty gruff with his words and can be cranky, especially if he hasn't had a drink or smoked recently. He doesn't like to be told what to do and if you have a special request he will tell you to go find someone else to bother.

Lead Enforcer/Lead Debt Collector: Mitchell McFarling — He joined the gang shortly before the large jewelry robbery and has been a core member since. He started off as a simple gunman but as time went on and his experience grew, he took on more roles within the gang. He had no desire to really be a big shot but Rasmus wanted him to watch over some of the more explosive members if possible. So he currently is in charge of the enforcers and collectors while also going on robberies and heists. (played by social)(played by social)

Camp Administrator: Iris Van Orman — She takes care of the camp inventory and keeps it running somewhat effectively. She likes to keep things organized and does the shopping for the group whenever possible as she doesn't trust the others to do it. She can be cold and a bit difficult to get along with but she is the only thing keeping them together at this point so it's better not to piss her off. (played by social)

Thief/Gunman/Debt Collector: Dimitri Petrov — A conman from across the pond, he has the status that allows him to rub elbows with the elites of the Western world. He joined the gang a few years ago due to his fascination with their way of life and has been working on recording everything they do so it will be their legacy. (played by social)

Gunwoman/Hunter: Mari Nashoba — A gunwoman and hunter, she is capable in both areas, having learned from experience and her parents what animals to hunt and where to find them. She is smart and resourceful, qualities that any young gunwoman should have. A single mother, her husband disappeared one night on a small hunting trip they went on and nobody has seen or heard from him in five years. (played by social)

Enforcer/Gunman: Arthur Covington — A loyal member of the gang, he's been with them since he was a young child and unable to fend for himself. He used to have a brother but since losing him, he has dedicated his life to the gang and to Rasmus. He is an enforcer and gunman, always there to protect and provide for those he calls his family. He would be lost without the gang and he doesn't want to think about a life where he isn't with them. Since the incident, he has been more on edge and frustrated, not knowing what's in store for their future. (played by social)

Gunwoman/Thief: Carmen Morales-Flores — A core member of the gang, she was born and raised in this mess of outlaws. Her personality clearly reflects this. Quite rough around the edges, she will stab you in the heart and rob you blind if you aren't careful. She is extremely loyal to the gang and will protect it with her life, often looking at newcomers suspiciously as she worries about their true intentions. (played by junegloom)

THE LORE

The Prewitt Gang.
Rasmus Prewitt isn't a saint and never has been. He was an orphan who lived a harsh life in the shadows, looked over by everyone who passed him. He scavenged, fought, and clawed his way to survive, practically baring teeth toward wolves in order to get a meal. He made a promise to himself and whatever God sat above him in the clouds that he would make it in life. He would go against the system that sought to suffocate him and make him into roadkill, he would be something bigger than all of that. One would think he was rather ambitious about making his own gang at 16 years old, but it was only logical for Rasmus. He had skills, but he needed more bodies to help him out. He couldn’t do it alone. This was when he met Julien Hibbert, Jeb Hendrix, and Beth Glass. The four of them became a force to be reckoned with, even at such young ages.

They did their best with what they could afford and lived off the land. Sometimes they worked for ranchers for extra cash, but mostly they just hunted and stole when they could. Wagons and small businesses were the easiest for them, especially with the charming Beth being able to hypnotize anyone with her melodic voice. They lived life like there was only a tomorrow where they would succeed and make it far in life, as if they had everything figured out. Maybe it was just a game for a couple of kids, but they made it into their reality.

They seemed to attract misfits like they did flies and it allowed them to score bigger and bigger. They robbed their first jewelry shop when Rasmus was 24 and got away with a lot of very expensive pieces. They were shot at, forced into hiding, and got their first bounties posted at every train station nearby. The thrill of robbery was addicting and so they continued this streak. The years dragged on and they brought in more people, forming more than just a gang, they were a family. There were losses, some natural and others at the expense of a heist. Each one seemed to harden those who lived within the Prewitt gang, they began to understand how cruel the world could be.

Now in the 1880s, Rasmus is still kicking at age 48 with one too many bullet scars on his body, but pretty healthy. He has taken it upon himself to make enough money for the gang to purchase land wherever they want so that they can be set for the rest of their lives and the lives of their children. So the heists are bigger than before and that means they have to be careful or someone will get killed. Crow’s Alley was the most recent place that the Prewitt gang set up but after the death of young William Marrell, the group took off west and began to cross the United States in search of a fresh start so he could continue saving up.

Rasmus has no intentions of stopping the robberies and making money, but some of the gang is a bit split, mostly due to the reality of their situation. The law was tracking them and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Rasmus got them caught.

Crow's Alley.
Down south, this was the Prewitt gang's home for around six months. It was in a desert and certainly was no paradise. Rattlesnakes were always underfoot, the sun burned any exposed skin it could find, and it seemed like water was never cold enough. But it was home for half a year, something that the gang rarely experienced. The town wasn't filled with do-gooders and often times outlaws would stroll into town and stay awhile before leaving. The law barely lifted a finger to disrupt fights or even duels, meaning it was the perfect environment for the gang. It wasn't until they decided to rob the large passenger train that ran through Crow's Alley that everything fell apart. Due to the number of casualties within Crow's Alley, there's a large bounty for various members of the gang (mostly the older well-known ones) and the capture of the whole gang itself. They will be arrested if they go into Crow's Alley.

Serenity Gulch.
A small town hidden in the mountains in the Northwest, it is filled with tall trees, lush greenery, and plenty of animals. The town itself is quiet and peaceful, almost as if they have managed to live alongside nature and haven't felt the strain of progress. While small, that doesn't mean the population is lacking. Many residents of Serenity Gulch live deep within the woods, hidden behind thick brambles and trees. This can make it a little tricky when exploring the vast forests of the area. The Prewitt gang themselves have found a small clearing, deep within the woods, alongside a river. There's plenty of fish in the freshwater and deer within the woods. While their arrival has caused many to ask questions, there's little protest. But some within the town have begun to whisper gossip about the new arrivals, almost as if they've been spying on their less-than-favorable misdeeds.

ABOUT THE ROLEPLAY

Welcome to 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! This roleplay is a reboot so if it looks familiar that is why! I am obsessed with Red Dead 2 and the Yellowstone shows so naturally, this roleplay is inspired by all of them! This roleplay will be taking place in the 1880s (no specific date right now) in the US. This is going to be an ADVANCED roleplay and needs to be treated as such when you are applying! It is not first-come-first-serve, meaning you will be accepted via PM if I feel your character(s) is a good fit. If you do not receive an invite by the time I specify, that means your character has not been accepted. That being said, Discord is required for this roleplay as it will be our OOC since it's far easier for me to keep track there. This roleplay also has an 18+ rule as I simply do not feel comfortable with having minors in this roleplay. I will be providing a plot summary here just in case anyone needs it! This roleplay is open to all of those who have not watched/played the games/shows! A plot summary will be provided below.

This roleplay focuses on the Prewitt gang, a gang of outlaws and misfits that have traveled around the United States, primarily the South, and have caused all sorts of problems. On their most recent train robbery in the tow of Crow’s Alley, someone didn’t get all the passengers, and one of their own got shot and killed, leading to a gunfight and a lot of passengers getting killed. This sort of heat was too much for them and so the gang left for safety. They headed northwest and ended up in the quiet mountain town of Serenity Gulch. They set up camp and hesitantly began to go out and make money for the camp’s fund, slowly trying to reach their goal.

The gang is run by a man named Rasmus Prewitt who has become quite strict and hardened over the last 30 years and has high expectations of those in his company. He made the decision to save up their money in order to purchase a large section of land and make that a home for them for every generation of the gang. But in order to achieve this, Rasmus believes they must do large robberies and get money the outlaw way. This has caused some stir within the group after the death of such a young group member has been pushed aside as Rasmus is more concerned about finances.

Faced with a unique opportunity to turn their lives around, the gang has to decide if they will follow their current path and stay outlaws, or if they will risk turning over a new leaf and use their wits and skills to make the rest of the money in an honest way. The roleplay course will be decided by the roleplayers as I will take surveys of what the characters would vote for and that will change parts of the story!

THE RULES

• This is considered an ADVANCED roleplay, meaning multi-paragraph in-character posts are required! One-liners will not be allowed.

• This roleplay is 18+

• I will not enforce things to be super historically accurate (but make an effort to try a little bit. no cellphones please)

• This is NOT a first-come-first-serve roleplay. This is APPLICATION BASED. That means if you do not receive a PRIVATE ACCEPTANCE from me, you have not been accepted. This is simply due to your character(s) not fitting in with the story I have created. I will not tolerate being badgered, harassed, pestered, or bothered by those who did not get in. I will not tell you how to get in because that defeats the purpose of the application. If I feel there are small changes that can be made to get the character into the roleplay, I will let you know.

• Roles will be made available once applications have opened.

• Currently only allowing applicants to apply for TWO characters max. You can apply for more characters after being accepted.

• KEEP THINGS EVEN!!! If genders are imbalanced, I will balance them out myself when it comes to accepting characters

• Realistic face claims or detailed descriptions are the only options for appearances in this roleplay! Art/illustrations are not allowed and Ai certainly is not allowed.

• Any OOC drama needs to be brought to my attention! Those who bully and exclude others will not be allowed in the roleplay. Do not cause issues for other roleplayers.

• This is meant to be a long-term roleplay! This means that characters can die/be changed as the story progresses. Please talk to me about this if you would like to add in a character death/departure.

• There is an expectation of one post per week and if you are not able to meet this requirement, please reach out to me or you will be given a warning. If you have two warnings, you will be notified of your removal from the roleplay.

Quite important, they take care of the young, sick, injured, old, and animals, especially when most of the group is off committing a robbery. Most new members are in this role before they find their place in the group.

  McFarling.

So he currently is in charge of the enforcers and collectors while also going on robberies and heists. He will often be the one members go to for questions or concerns.

  his mother was always a kind and caring soul. she often put people's needs above her own and would do whatever she could to bring a smile out. she always liked children and animals, being a teacher for a period of time. as mitch grew older, he truly appreciated the gentle hand that she had with them as it was a big contrast to the outside world. she did get sick and lost her eyesight when he was in his teens, greatly impacting the family. still, she lived a full life until she passed away a few years ago in her sleep.
  
  micah mcfarling | father | alive
  a bit rough around the edges, he was a man of the wilderness and seemed to always have that unsettled look in his eyes. he didn't have much to say to his children as they aged, but he didn't need to unless he was teaching them something. he would often take the kids hunting or to ranches he was working on to give them experience in various fields. he was gruff but he had a sweet spot for his family, especially for his wife. when she lost her eyesight, he made her life as easy as possible and stayed by her side until her passing. he currently is living in the family home with anna and her family.
  
  anna mcfarling | younger sister | alive
  a bit of a spitfire, she always had a crazy idea or story bouncing around in her head. a mess of dark curls, she would chase after mitch and their father whenever she could. she didn't like boring 'lady things' and preferred to be more like the boys and run about in the woods. after mitch left the family to join up with the gang, she stayed back and did her best to help their parents with their own business. she got married when she was older and currently has four children that she loves dearly. she stays in touch with mitch pretty regularly.
  
  hannah mcfarling | daughter | deceased
  the girl was no more than a few months old when she was killed. the gang had been attacked in the middle of the night when everyone was drinking and celebrating, causing them to be caught completely off guard. fires were started, guns were fired, and mitch had been unable to get to the wagon that housed his daughter before the flames engulfed it. he has never forgiven himself for this and seems to be very awkward around anyone named hannah.
  
  Relationships —
  rasmus prewitt | a horse wrestler that mitch encountered back when he was only seventeen years old, the two have maintained a friendship over these 20+ years. they don't always see eye-to-eye on things, but generally, they don't have any major issues. mitch tends to be rasmus' eyes on the ground when he nor jeb can pay attention to what's going on with the gang or around camp. more recently they have been butting heads over the future of the gang as they are bother trying to figure out the best way to keep everyone safe.
  
  jeb hendrix | the more level-headed of the three, mitch tends to vent to jeb and sort of lets himself rely on him more than others. he is a safe person to talk to and it makes things easier to have someone to talk to that doesn't piss him off beyond reason. he usually goes on fishing or hunting trips with jeb to catch up or to talk about the gang without rasmus trying to butt in on the conversation.
  
  delilah campbell | his ex-wife and at the moment, the only woman he's ever loved. they were together in their early twenties and stayed married for about three years before the divorce. she had initially said she was okay with the life of the gang, but after living in it for some rough periods of time, she couldn't handle it anymore. she asked mitch for a divorce after their camp had been attacked by another gang and their infant daughter ended up passing due to the invading gang. they occasionally keep in touch but he finds it difficult to see her, knowing that she's happily married to a rich man and they have a couple of children while his life hasn't changed at all.
  
  carmen morales-flores | she is pretty much mitch's adopted daughter that he's had since she was around [blank] years old. after being orphaned mitch took her in and raised her on his own. he is very protective of carmen and is terrified of her getting injured or killed. he prevented her from being involved in robberies and heists for a long time until he was no longer able to justify it. he is very aware of who she spends time with and has been known to threaten people that might cause her trouble.
  
  History —
  background. TW: mentions of infant death
  his childhood was ordinary, especially when compared to others within the gang. his mother was a grade school teacher and his father was a ranch hand who bounced around whenever he was needed. they made enough money to own a house with some land, but it wasn’t much. micah, his father, eventually needed an extra pair of hands to help him on the ranches so mitchell was pulled out of school relatively young in order to work. he didn’t complain and his mother simply told him to behave and to listen to his father. the work was tiring and difficult, especially for a 12-year-old boy. but he kept his bottom lip stiff and he worked hard.
  
  when he would get to go home and see his mother and younger sister, he was over the moon. he loved the gentle hands of his mother, the soft scent of apples and cinnamon clinging to her as she welcomed him back. he was quite close to her, which was why when she got sick and lost her sight, it rocked his world. he didn’t know what to do as they had lost income from her teaching job. anna wasn’t old enough to work and his father was only able to be away from home for so long. so mitchell decided to work on other ranches and send his paychecks to his parents.
  
  he moved to a horse ranch when he was 14 years old and never came home. he worked and lived at the farm, staying in the barn with the animals. he learned a lot and had a special touch when it came to the animals, almost as if he could read their thoughts and feelings. when he was 15 years old, the ranch was a victim of a raid, their horses getting stolen and men getting killed. the prewitt gang were the perpetrators but mitchell didn’t care. he chased after them for days which turned into a couple of weeks before he managed to sneak into their camp with a knife in hand, prepared to steal back the horses.
  
  rasmus didn’t let that happen. both were young at the time, the gang quite small and not overly well-known in the south. but he saw a spark in mitch that few did. he could do well in the gang. he could make money, he could give his parents plenty of support so they could live out their lives in peace. it was either that or death. he chose to work for the gang. when he first joined, his role was simply to care for their horses, train them, and be a gunman if he needed to watch camp. he had little desire to do much more, he only wanted to make money to send home. but as the years passed and his skills grew alongside his taste for smoke and whiskey, he found himself in a rather powerful position within the gang.
  
  it was still tough, not seeing his family, but he made do with the money he sent them and the whirlwind marriage he was involved in. he was married to an honest woman named delilah for around three years and he adored every moment of it. she wasn’t cut from the same cloth as him, but foolishly, they both thought they were meant to be. she came from a decently well-off family so it had been quite the scandal when she ran off with mitch in order to elope. their relationship in the gang was envied by some as they simply enjoyed everything life had to offer. it wasn’t until the gang was raided by the hensley gang. supplies were taken, men were killed, their daughter hannah was killed, and delilah was almost assaulted. she asked him for a divorce shortly after this and she went home. he later learned she married a rich businessman the following year.
  
  since the divorce, mitch found himself retreating within himself, relying on drink to put him to sleep at night and ease the pain in his heart. but the pain never stopped, it just grew. his mother passed away, peacefully, but that letter was painful to receive. the gang suffered losses and great arguments as they moved around, trying to find a home they could stay at. but it never seemed to settle for them. with the most recent death, mitch has become rather upset and frustrated by the secrets he harbors for those within the gang and the stress he carries on his shoulders. he doesn’t want to go against rasmus, but he truly fears for everyone’s safety if they continue on this quest for self-destruction.
  
  Questions —
  how old was he when he joined the prewitt gang? | he was fifteen when he got ensnared by the prewitt gang. a rather talented horse wrangler, he worked on various farms breaking horses, training them, catching them, and helping sell them for the farms. he met rasmus when they were stealing a horse from the farm he worked at. he spent a couple days tracking them down and when he finally caught up to them, rasmus was so entertained by his dedication to the horses, he asked him if he wanted a job within their group. for some reason, mitch agreed. he's been part of the gang for 25 years.
  
  how does he feel about william marrell's death? | this death hit a bit too close to home for mitch. he wasn't really thrilled about having such an inexperienced member of the gang on a train robbery, but he didn't think it was going to result in his death. there was nothing that could be done from him to have prevented it as he was on the opposite side of the train, but he still has a lot of emotions about it. he was one of the ones to inform mrs. marrell and it was hard to see her so upset.
  
  what does he think the group should do? | honestly, he doesn't know. he has been an outlaw longer than he hasn't, but he knows that their time is running out. there are only so many places within the country that don't have their faces on a bounty board and he is starting to get a bit tired of running. but his loyalty to the gang is unmatched, which has caused inner turmoil within his heart. his concern about carmen's future is leading him to wonder if the end of the gang would be the best thing for them.
  
  how does he feel about the move they just went on? | it was pretty rough, especially due to the crying of william's wife and the fact that everyone was incredibly somber. serenity gulch is a nice place though, the mountains and rivers are comforting to him and he feels almost like he could make a home somewhere close by. he would never say that out loud though.

• Dimitri L.
  Petrov.

  A conman from across the pond, he has the status that allows him to rub elbows with the elites of the Western world. He joined the gang a few years ago due to his fascination with their way of life and has been working on recording everything they do so it will be their legacy. He has since integrated quite nicely into the group and is often coming up with major schemes to get money from the rich folk they encounter. There's always a catch with Dimitri's plans but most fools don't think twice before going along with them.

  History —
  background. born to yakim and elizabeth petrov, he was the youngest son of a wealthy family and was raised with luxury and love. he had everything he could’ve asked for and he certainly asked for it. he was taught multiple languages, raised in a proper way, and told to respect and support his country. it was no surprise that he was quite the little gentleman in his childhood, often escaping punishments as he knew how to hide his tracks and lie without breaking eye contact. when younger, his older siblings hated how he got away with things, but their relationships were still close as they were the petrovs, they could only trust each other.
  
  as he grew older and attended school, he grew interested in many things, two of which were women and the military. he wanted to enter it as soon as he was old enough, but in the meantime, he kept up with his studies and learned the secret language of romance. it was a joyful time for him as he didn’t feel like he had anything to lose. girls were almost always within reach and he simply had to place a kiss on the back of their hand to gain their interest. a game of his own design, he enjoyed it all thoroughly. but all good things had to come to an end. with his graduation, he became a part of the british military and set away from his home, family, and friends.
  
  it wasn’t easy and he certainly took the brunt end of some fury of those in higher positions than him, but he didn’t give up. he continued to work hard and soon found himself rising through the ranks and enjoying the perks that came with it. war was ugly and left mental scars, but it didn’t really shake his desire to serve as he found he was quite good at it. but as his time in the military came to an end, he found himself in the lap of a very wealthy young lady, one so rich she shouldn’t have been dabbling with officers. their love affair was quite the scandal to the point his parents told him to visit their cousins in the americas, hoping the wild west would do him some good.
  
  dimitri wasn’t pleased but he did what was asked as it was a chance for him to explore a place that he only occasionally read about. so he moved to america and found the unique way of settler life interesting and exciting, to say the least. he quickly moved away from his cousins, having no interest in them, and set out on his own little journey, hoping to run into cowboys and outlaws. this is where he met rasmus prewitt, a rather charming outlaw who had gotten pulled into a very tricky situation at a saloon. dimitri’s smooth words seemed to be just the right push the lawmen needed to leave rasmus alone. the pair of them were quite interested in each other after the exchange, finding similarities as they spoke. so dimitri was invited to stay with them for a while and eventually join if he so chose. and join he did.
  
  Questions —
  how old was he when he joined the prewitt gang? | he was around twenty-five when he joined the gang, so he has been part of them for five years. originally recruited by rasmus in a bar after he managed to talk the man out of a confrontation with the law. he struck a cord within rasmus, almost as if the old outlaw saw his younger self in dimitri.
  
  how does he feel about william marrell's death? | a true shame, but not much can be done. he wasn't on that particular job as he was outside of the train, keeping watch for any lawmen, so he doesn't feel any real guilt of responsibility. his curiosity mostly is geared towards the one responsible as he feels it's only fair they face the consequences for the death of william.
  
  what does he think the group should do? | he doesn't have any particular feelings on the matter, mostly due to his own safety net he has back home in england. still, he hopes that the gang doesn't fall apart as he enjoys their way of life far too much.
  
  how does he feel about the move they just went on? | it was his first cross-country move so it was very exciting for him. he often entertained himself and the younger kids with stories or songs, just to lighten the mood of the four-month journey.

  hobbies. fishing, hunting, wood carving, playing guitar, gambling
  
  vices. very rough around the edges, arthur is often considered abrasive and harsh, especially if someone is on the receiving end of his anger. as an enforcer within the gang, his whole role is to rough people up to the point they will give any information, and that's exactly how arthur is. he is tall and scary, his anger and irritation often at the subject of ridicule by the younger or softer people within the gang. his habit of gambling and betting can get him into trouble, especially if his sharp senses are dulled by booze. he isn't the best at taking orders and doesn't like to do things like babysitting or staying back at camp and will complain if he is tasked with those things. he has little patience for those who do not try to pull their weight or socialize within the gang because he doesn't understand why they are there at that point. this can cause heated discussions or arguments.
  
  virtues. despite his gruff exterior, arthur is still a kind member of the gang and watches out for those who need an extra helping hand. he will do his best to provide for the gang no matter what, even if he doesn't agree with it. he enjoys seeing people happy and laughing, so it's not uncommon to see him around the fire, playing guitar and singing, making the mood lighter for everyone involved. he can be gentle and caring but because he rarely is in a situation that allows this, it is often overlooked. he tries hard and though he struggles through things like his anger, he deeply treasures those he considers friends and family.

  Relationships —
  rasmus prewitt | he has great respect for rasmus considering that man took him under his wing to teach him how to survive such a tricky world. he has always admired how rasmus views things and how he leads the gang (though sometimes he doesn't always agree). he defends him and protects him with his life.
  
  History —
  UNDER CONSTRUCTION
  background. born to angela and harold covington, arthur was the youngest, his older brother being jamie. their small family of four made due, their mother tending to the home while their father worked in the mines. this worked for them despite the glaring health concerns that their father presented. still, there was no reason for them to change their life. but when arthur was only six years old, his parents came down with TB, and it took them both. orphaned and unwanted by remaining relatives, the two boys were forced onto the streets in order to survive. jamie was about eleven at the time and knew he had to find a way for them to survive. he did things like cleaning shoes, tack, and watching horses, while arthur sold newspapers and helped to deliver local mail.
  
  it was enough to get them some canned goods and oats and so they would eat their food in their makeshift home, a little fort made out of spare blankets and sticks that they, found in town. this routine is how arthur first came into contact with the prewitt gang. he would announce the newsletters, often which would consist of their crimes, and so they would pay the boy off to talk about other news and keep them out of advertisements. arthur began to know who they were and would greet them happily anytime they wandered into town. jamie was careful around them but they paid enough money for the boys to eat properly so he didn't mind all that much.
  
  as they got older, jamie began taking better jobs and eventually got them both into temporary housing while he worked as a farm boy for the family and arthur also did minimal work. around this time, jamie was 14 and had started learning how to steal things, pickpocket, and ultimately make better money so they could afford to leave town. rasmus had seen a young arthur waiting outside of home they were working at and they started to chat, the man talking about how he had seen them both on the streets for years and he wanted to offer them a home. a real place they could live, with good food and good people to watch out for them. arthur accepted and jamie, well, he was hesitant but it was better than what they had going for them. so the brothers left with rasmus and never went back.
  
  their time in the gang was fun, full of adventure and hard work. just because they were kids, it didn't mean they couldn't pull their own weight. they were treated like they were little brothers of the older gang members and they taught those boys how to survive and how to always be the last man standing. arthur felt comfortable in the gang life, his world finally expanding to the point he could travel anywhere he wanted. it was freeing and he was damn good at it. he was a good little distraction, bait, and a thief, it was easy for him. jamie also enjoyed his time in the gang, learning to shoot a gun and how to do more involved cons and jobs.
  
  but the fun life they had going came to a halt when young jamie and a few other gang members were captured by lawmen after a job went sour. rasmus tried to get them out in time but they couldn't. the law wasn't going to let them go unless they handed over the gang's location to them. the men wouldn't do it. they were executed later that week. it destroyed arthur and he was inconsolable, unable to do anything for a while. the funerals were sad and broke the heart of the gang as a whole, everyone leaning on each other to get through it. arthur took his brother's necklace from his body before he was buried and with that, the gang packed up and left. jamie was only 18 years old.
  
  the gang moved on and arthur did as well, the pain of losing his entire family began to fade and he focused on his future within the gang. he grew taller, broader, stronger, and soon he was right beside mitch and rasmus as one of the most dangerous members of the gang. he protected them, fought for them, went on jobs, protected the kids, and taught them how to fight, arthur became a pillar of the gang.
  
  Questions —
  how old was he when he joined the prewitt gang? | arthur was brought into the gang when he was only 5 years old.
  
  how does he feel about william marrell's death? | frustrated, angry, ready to strangle someone. he doesn't understand how it happened as he was at the back of the train with mitch when it all went down. he holds very strong feelings about the subject and personally would like to know who did it so that they can pay the proper price.
  
  what does he think the group should do? | he thinks they should buy some land to settle on but not necessarily stop their way of life altogether. he loves the gang and what they do. he's barely known anything else.
  
  how does he feel about the move they just went on? | it was exhausting and he had a hard time dealing with it due to the (valid) hysterics of william's widow as they crossed the country. he likes the new place and is hopeful that they can stay through the winter and maybe have a solid place to land in the spring.

  katherine fairbanks | mother | unknown
  katherine wasn't happy when she discovered she was pregnant with iris. unwanted since her conception, the woman made little plans for her child and simply left her on the doorsteps of an orphanage in a small crate and nothing else. no clothes, no blankets, not even a name of her own. katherine never met iris and she only knows who her mother is thanks to her father's sharp memory.
  
  lester cormack | father | unknown
  lester wasn't a father to iris, but he did push her in the direction of the prewitt gang when he stumbled upon her. the trademark cormack hair had passed to the girl and so he knew that she was his, especially when he could see her mother's stubbornness in her. so he encouraged her to leave the orphanage, insinuating that he would take her in as he was her only blood relative. but all he wanted was the money the orphanage gave her as pocket change and he left her in the company of undesirables. the last they saw each other was when he gave her leonora.
  
  leonora cormack | half-sister | alive
  iris didn't know leonora existed until the ten-year-old showed up on her doorstep with their shared father behind her. she wasn't excited to take care of a child, let alone one that lester gave her, but having experienced the pain of growing up without parents, she couldn't abandon her. while sisters, iris became somewhat of a mother to leonora and guided her as she grew up.
  
  phineas van orman | husband | deceased
  a man who possessed a silver tongue and a pocket full of gold, he came from europe with many rare horses in tow. he had hired the prewitt gang frequently and that's where he met iris. he fell for the fiery woman and pursued her as often as he could. he was a kind man for a while but his true colors showed throughout their marriage. let's just say, he deserved the end he got.
  
  Relationships —
  rasmus prewitt | he was 21 years old when they met for the first time and from that moment, he decided to take her under his wing. he did his best to raise her in the gang and taught her everything she needed to know for survival. as she got older she became an important part of their cons and got them some pretty high profile cases. though everyone was family in the gang, they had a complicated relationship when she was in her twenties and began to explore leaving the gang for a 'normal' life. anything between them since that point in time has been fleeting and behind closed doors. she has no feelings towards rasmus other than gratitude for him allowing her back into the gang.
  
  History —
  TW: pregnancy loss, DV
  history. there’s a lot to learn as a child who is given up willingly by their parents. for iris, it taught her how to rely on herself and follow the rules. growing up without the influence of her mother or father but knowing they were still alive, well, it was a rather troubling emotion for her. despite quite literally growing up in an orphanage, she didn’t quite understand the meaning of being thrown away. for a while, her innocent mind kept her in the dark and gave her daydreams of her parents realizing their mistakes and taking her back into their arms. it seemed like this was the case when she had just turned 10 years old and was told to put on her best clothes and pack her small suitcase.
  
  being brought down the creaking and rotting stairs, she saw a somewhat nervous red-haired man in the lobby area, his fingers twisting and pulling on the worn cap he held. she had never seen him in her life, and nor had he ever seen her, but he could recognize her as soon as she saw him. “now, there’s a cormack if i’ve ever seen one!”. his voice wasn’t fatherly at all, it was light and shifty, almost as if he were playing a part. iris had been uncomfortable but somewhat relieved at the idea she would at least be living with a family member who wanted her. maybe he didn’t know where she was until now and had been searching desperately for years.
  
  her romantic ideas as to why lester had collected her were quickly shattered when he placed her on the back of the dusty old horse and brought them both to a dingy home. it was thick with smoke, liquor, and something rather metallic. (as she grew older she later learned it was the smell of blood.) he pulled his bright-eyed daughter to his chest and hugged her, promising a life of love and happiness, right after he paid a debt. the girl was none the wiser and certainly hadn’t noticed the expert hand that had slipped into her pocket and taken out the money she had saved for her entire life at the orphanage.
  
  the door closed behind him, and she never saw him again. for hours she sat on her small case and waited, stomach growling in contempt, her throat rather scratchy from the lack of water and the polluted air. she felt rather hopeless and confused until a pair of scuffed boots fell into her line of sight and as she dragged her gaze up, she met the eyes of a young rasmus prewitt. his dark curls clung to his face, due to alcohol or sweat, she couldn’t tell, but she knew his eyes held the same abandonment and confusion that hers did. she was a reflection of him and without so much as an argument, he gathered her things and invited her to meet his friends. the rest simply fell into place like dominos.
  
  life within the prewitt gang was exhilarating and irritating at the same time. iris often mothered and took care of people twice her age or half her age. there was little in between. she grew up in dirt and grime but still managed to keep herself clean and presentable, like a lady who wasn’t running with outlaws. her looks and natural smarts became an advantage as she helped distract folks while the others stole goods, or she learned about rich people and their houses. it was easy, albeit stressful. she rarely stole, but when she did it was books. iris was fascinated by literature and knowledge, often sneaking into libraries or people’s homes to take books. sometimes she even posed as a student in school in order to grab school books.
  
  by the age of 20, iris had accomplished a lot within the gang and while she was happy with them, she was missing something. cue phineas van orman. a horse breeder from europe who had many expensive and rare horses on his property often fancied hiring the prewitt gang to encourage competition to seek jobs elsewhere. because of this, he often met with iris and seemingly fell head over heels for her. he was on his hands and knees with words of love on his lips, diamond rings in his hands, and beautiful horses behind him, just begging for her to marry him. he promised security, education, wealth, safety, and a home that didn’t have to travel around. so she accepted. rasmus was not pleased by this and they fought quite a lot over her decision to leave the gang. nobody could stop iris, so she left. she married phineas and settled down, merely content with this new life.
  
  her romantic dreams of a life with phineas faded after the first year of marriage. his kindness and sweetness soon turned bitter and harsh, almost as if prompted by the prewitt gang having moved away from the surrounding areas. insults were often hurled at iris but she didn’t let them sink into the iron armor she had built up over the years. there was no place for sensitivity as an outlaw so he couldn’t hurt her that way. her lack of response or distress seemed to trigger him and phineas began to lay hands on her. it was always random, sending iris into a dazed state, unsure of what caused the outburst.
  
  she had little ability to prepare before he struck, often not doing anything and still getting hit. she bit her tongue and held her head high, despite the bruises that decorated her freckled flesh. iris refused to back down or break, knowing that the wealth and status she had acquired as his wife was the only thing saving her from destitution or jail. but he never seemed to stop, even when she was pregnant. there had been a slight lull in the abuse after she told him, but due to the fact she had gotten sick when making him dinner, he couldn’t hold back.
  
  that night is a blur of blood and darkness for iris. when she came to, she had no idea what day it was and barely could see due to the swelling of her face. she lost the pregnancy a few days later and something inside of her snapped. bloodied hands left streaks around the bathroom as she wailed and screamed, ripping down everything she could and throwing what was breakable. whatever patience she had snapped in her that day and she couldn’t take it anymore. so while her husband was off delivering a couple of horses, she prepared herself for a life-changing event. she wrote letters, packed bags, and did her best to figure out what to do in case the plan backfired.
  
  with a gun in hand and a chair in front of the bedroom door, she waited for him. heavy footsteps and a cheerful voice echoed within the house as her husband climbed the stairs, happily talking about how much money he made off the horses and how he was excited about the well-deserved dinner she was going to make him. it nagged on her throbbing brain more than she would even admit but frankly, she didn’t have to say a word to him. time seemed to slow as she held up the shotgun, reddened eyes trained on the chest of phineas as it was revealed. a blood-soaked finger pulled the trigger twice. one after the other, two bullets practically exploded in his chest. his body was in the hallway and didn’t even twitch. she left him there for a while, not even bothering to clean up the large pool of blood that formed around him.
  
  the next morning she took care of it the best she could, hiding his body in a casket that had come in a wagon that he bought (stolen of course) and kept it in the basement. she locked the door and never said a word to anyone. she took care of everything, the business, the finances, and everything transferred to her name, thanks to a letter written and signed by phineas. it all was going according to plan until lester cormack showed up unannounced with a ten-year-old girl in hand. “what’s with you and taking your kids somewhere strange at ten?” iris had been gifted her half-sister due to lester not being able to raise her himself. so she took leonora in and raised her within the van orman house, her husband still hidden in that basement.
  
  after two years of living there with leonora, people began to whisper about iris having killed her husband as nobody had heard from him, not even his connections in europe. so she did what she had to do in order to survive. she contacted rasmus prewitt. it didn’t take very long before that familiar face was on her doorstep, eyes hardened from life on the road, but a charming smile nonetheless. they talked for hours in iris’ study as she explained the situation, determined to keep the land and business but simply allow her workers to run it as she was worried about giving it up. it took a lot of planning but they managed to get phineas’ coffin to a graveyard, the owner having owed the gang a favor, and he was buried without hassle. the horse farm arrangements were set up quite tightly so that iris would get her money and it would continue to be in her name until she passed, and then it went to leonora.
  
  the girls left their home and moved back into the prewitt gang, which wasn’t that difficult to adjust to. iris quickly took charge of the camp and how it ran, making sure that everyone was fed, clothed, medicated, and had arms to defend themselves. now in her mid-thirties, she is determined to have a successful career out west as she plans to move the farm there and live out the rest of her days without worry.
  
  Questions —
  how old was she when she joined the prewitt gang? | iris was around 10 years old when she was dropped into the lap of the prewitt gang for the first time. she was 25 when she rejoined the group with leonora in tow.
  
  how does she feel about william marrell's death? | unnecessary. she was more angry than upset when the group came back and told them about his passing. she got into a heated argument with rasmus that night about how he was reckless with the young members of the gang and they couldn't keep pretending like it was okay for a twenty-year-old to die on a robbery.
  
  what does she think the group should do? | she definitely thinks it would be wise for them to curb their outlaw ways and simply settle down on some land, but she's not dumb and knows that it's going to be tough for them to do that with the bounties on their heads. she still is trying to talk rasmus into retiring the gang so everyone can focus on raising money for property.
  
  how does she feel about the move? | she's never been to serenity gulch, but it is a small breath of fresh air and for that she's grateful. part of her is worried that it won't last long so she's trying to not get attached.

  a strong and brave horse that has many battle scars from his lifetime. he was duncan's horse and took care of him until he got his second horse, causing dutchman to be gifted to mari. named after the ghost ship, he is known for his speed and for his ability to be lost among the world around him, keeping both himself and mari safe. he has a very calm and collected personality, is rather quiet and friendly, and prefers gentle hands and treats. he is almost a leader of horses; despite his lack of aggression, he has a presence, especially when compared to the younger, less established horses. both mari and jesse spend a lot of time with him, and she trusts only him to carry her son safely around on trips.
  
  dog. nita (bear) | wolf-dog | male | 4 years old | xo

  Family —
  ruth nashoba | mother | alive
  an anthropologist in her spare time, she spent her younger years researching about her people and the other nations that were displaced during the trail of tears. her thirst for knowledge and kind heart were easily inherited by her oldest child mari. the two were close during mari's childhood as ruth told her stories of their people and the rich culture she came from, despite having to somewhat assimulate in order to have an easier life. but it didn't take long for ruth to become busy as she had four more children, three daughters and a son. this meant that mari had to step up and help her mom out more. there was tension in mari's teen years when she fell in love with a man she met by chance in a local town off the reservation. but ruth ultimately allowed her daughter to leave, knowing that it was better for her to find her place in the world than to force her to stay.
  
  joseph nashoba | father | alive

  mary nashoba | grandmother | alive

  jesse 'hiloha' zimmer | son | alive
  a six-year-old boy with thick dark hair and bright eyes, he is playful and enjoys the fun stories that everyone in the gang tells. he usually stays in camp for safety but occasionally can convince people to take him fishing or on a horse ride. he usually asks questions about his dad, but many people can't tell him anything that he doesn't already know. he is very close with his mom and often clings to her side when she's at camp. if she's ever away hunting or helping with robberies/jobs, he will be found sleeping in her bed. he has a slightly explosive personality, inherited from his father, he will get upset if he hears people talking poorly about his mother.
  
  duncan zimmer | husband | unknown
  they met when she was 16 and very quickly seemed to fall in love. they got married when she was 18 and by the time she turned 19, they had their baby boy. he was a pretty stoic person and had a hard time loosening up and having fun. but she balanced him out and they managed to make it work. their relationship wasn't bad and he genuinely seemed in love, which was why it was surprising to hear that he disappeared one night after he took her out on a small trip outside of camp. she woke up alone, with all his things packed and his horse gone. nobody has heard from him since.
  
  Relationships —
  rasmus prewitt | he wasn't exactly thrilled to find out duncan had convinced a young girl to run away from home, but he let it slide due to how dedicated mari was to making it work on the road. her natural skills with gathering and hunting was a godsend to the group and it didn't take long for him to loosen up around her. he did warn her about falling in love but that's more of a cautionary tale he tells everyone. when duncan left, rasmus was the first to tell her he wouldn't be coming back for her or jesse. their relationship has grown tense over the years because he never fails to bring duncan up as an example of what type of person to not be.
  
  History —
  pending
  
  Questions —
  how old was she when she joined the prewitt gang? | she was around 16 years old.
  
  how does she feel about william marrell's death? | she was rather upset when she heard the news, having stepped back from this particular robbery. she didn't know what to do when rasmus told them to pack up and ship out without even a second to catch their breath. the trip was difficult and she found herself blaming herself, other people, rasmus, and the world.
  
  what does she think the group should do? | she is at a genuine loss of what to do. everyone's opinions are so conflicting, causing them to lash out like rabid animals, which is something that deeply upsets her. she keeps her thoughts to herself and does her best not to encourage behavior from either side.
  
  how does she feel about the move they just went on? | it was a long and tough journey, certainly one that she was not looking forward to when rasmus told them about it. she lost track of the miles and towns they passed by, especially due to the fact she had her son and other children to look after. since moving into their current camp, she has found it to be rather refreshing. she would very much like to settle down in the area as she wants to raise her son in a protected place like serenity gulch.

history + misc

Background.

Manuel Morales was an early member of the Prewitt Gang. Somewhere along the way, he met Esperanza Flores. The pair fell quickly for each other and she ran off from home to join Manuel, eloping the first opportunity they had. Somehow, she wasn't put off by the crime and the violence. As long as she was with Manuel, she was happy. A year later, Carmen joined the family, and by association, the gang.

While the pregnancy was smooth, her birth was difficult. Carmen got stuck, and nothing the doctor did was helping. After several hours of struggle, Carmen was born and was surprisingly healthy. Esperanza was not so lucky. She died moments later.

Her early memories are hazy, but she was raised by her father with help from the handmaidens. Of course, he kept the more gruesome details of gang life from her— she was a child after all. She was kept behind and away from any danger, her father far too scared of losing another person.

When she was four, her life changed. Her father was killed in a in a raid on their camp. She only survived because she was terrified and tucked herself away underneath a wagon, where she remained until Mitch happened to find her. Carmen was left alone with nobody to provide for her, and in Rasmus’s eyes, nobody to earn her keep. There was debate on whether she should remain with the gang or be dropped at the nearest orphanage. Rasmus wasn’t too keen on providing resources to someone that wasn’t contributing to the gang financially. However, Mitch took her in, unofficially adopting her.

She grew into a strong and independent young woman, who was becoming quite an asset to the group. Her sticky fingers were quick and her demeanor was unassuming. Not to mention, she was a pretty great shot. She even got a rifle for her sixteenth birthday.

When she was nineteen, she was officially given the extra duty as a gunwoman (though she's been unofficially doing the job for years), much to Mitch's dismay. The Prewitt Gang is all that she has left in this world. William's death was a devastating blow for everyone. She'd do anything for the gang, but something is starting to nag at her now that they have an opportunity for some normalcy. However, she's too dedicated to go against the majority's wishes. So, until there is a decision, she is going to keep on doing as she is told.

Family.

Manuel Morales (deceased)- Carmen's memories of her father are few and quite hazy. In her mind, he was a heroic figure, taken too soon.

Esperanza Flores (deceased)- Carmen never knew her mother, as she died in childbirth. All she knows about her was that she was a kind woman and that she resembles her.

Character Questions.

How old were they when they joined the Prewitt Gang?

"Well, I was born into it, really. My father was an early member and raised me in it."

How do they feel about William Marrell's death?

"Oh, that just broke my heart. I've known him since he joined us and cannot believe he's gone. I check on his wife occasionally, but I don't think I can do much to help."

What do they think the group should do? Should they go good or stay outlaws?

"This life is all I've ever known. I don't know what a 'normal' life would even be like." She takes a long pause. "However, I can't help but think that William's death may be a sign that something needs to change."

How do they feel about the move they just went on?

"I've moved so many times, I'm used to it. I'm just glad we've escaped the law... for now, at least."

Robin Arkwright

Spoiler: Robin Arkwright

ROBIN ARKWRIGHT

Full Name: Robin Arkwright
Alias: ‘Firebird’ or 'Poprocket' - But often used in jest, and only by other members of the camp it seems.
Nicknames: Bobbie - A fond nickname formerly used by her family back home in England. She hadn't heard it for months upon months, but recently, it's started to catch on throughout the Gang, and it makes her happy to hear it again.
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Presents as Cis Female - But it’s not like Robin’s really ever… you know, had much of a go at anything… with anyone actually…
Role: Blaster & Thief
-
APPEARANCE
Height: 4.8” - Titchy.
Hair: A pale and sandy blonde.
Eyes: Pale, wishy-washy sort of blue.
Distinguishing Features:
Robin has a naturally gamine-like face, which could arguably be coined as ‘striking’ I suppose. Its androgynous-ness is unusual in an age of such strict and enforced gender norms. She’s lost count of how many times she’s been mistaken for a young boy.
Scars:
A scattering of Linear scars on the back of her hands, and across her knuckles - As expected from any practiced gunman.
Burn And Impact Scar - Starts at the back of her left hand, and travels up her forearm a little. Gained from a (Supposed) controlled blast that was just detonated a little too close to home, literally.
Face Claim: Emma Corrin.
Description:
Robin is short, wiry, and somewhat odd-looking. It doesn’t help that she usually dresses in attire typically intended for men, a fact which usually doesn’t help her standing in polite society, not like that bothers her at all mind you.
Robin has a naturally impish demeanor about her. Either looking like the smuggest, most mischievous looking cat that just got to the cream, or the most woe-begotten troubled and heartbroken orphan you’ve ever seen. Bobbie’s eyes are very expressive, and despite any efforts on her part to conceal or portray otherwise, they regularly convey her true thoughts and feelings on whatever the matter at hand might be.
-
PERSONAL ITEMS
Weapons:
Webley Revolver - A standard issue gun for any British Servicemen, that she somehow managed to smuggle into the states. It wasn’t in very good shape when Robin arrived, but in addition to learning how to actually shoot the damn thing properly, other members of the Gang have taught Robin how to care for weapons properly too.
Hunting Knife - Unexpected, but a steady and necessary must for the life of any self-reliant would-be frontiersman.
-
HORSE
Canary - A Palamino Morgan Mare
Robin arrived to the gang horseless, and would repeatedly borrow one of the stock wagon horses whenever the occasion arose where she needed to be out and about. But Bobbie played her part, helped out in gang ‘outings’ and saved money from her cut of the job until she finally had enough for a horse of her own. A proud day indeed.
Thus, Canary is, as you might expect, her absolute pride and joy. Apparently, Robin would often help out, and care for the pit-ponies back home, so working with horses comes naturally to her. But more so than this, having an actual horse of her own is just one more big part of that fabled American-Dream for Robin. A horse of her own practically makes her a real live genuine Cowpoke.
Canary herself is a rather calm and quiet horse. She doesn’t make much noise, has a weakness for wild mint, is generally docile and calm to everybody, but seems to love and care for Robin particularly as her chosen human.

Notable Items:
Tinderox with Matches - Always kept in good condition, and plentiful stock. If you need something igniting, Robin’s your gal…
Letter Wallet - A worn leather wallet containing all the letters she’s ever received from home. When she can, Robin keeps it tucked away in a pocket over her heart. How sentimental.
A Red Cardigan - Hand knitted by her Mum. She’d wear it more often, but Robin’s terrified of getting it snagged on something, or it being damaged and ruined in general. Also, Burdock’s started to call her ‘Little-Robin-Red-Breast’ whenever he sees her wearing it, and her reputation in the gang is foolish enough as it is without him adding anymore fuel to the fire.
A single stick of Dynamite - Sounds comical really, but apparently ‘You can never be too sure!’ according to the mad little arsonist herself.

PERSONALITY
Likes: Toffee, Blue Skies, The camp songs she's learning, American-isms, Tea, big green plains, Dogs, being taken seriously.
Dislikes: Being underground again, Beans, Nobility and all the stupid etiquette that goes with them, chopping tatties, Racoons.
Hobbies: Fivestones, Reading, Fishing (She’s trying badly to get Arthur to teach her properly), Sketching.

VICES
Naive - A charming trait to few, a foolishly dangerous quality to everybody else. Youth undoubtedly plays a somewhat guiltless part in Robins ignorance. But blind faith and a sad yet eager need for praise make up the rest of it. Bobbie will often believe whatever you tell her straight off of the bat, with few to no questions asked whatsoever. Especially if it’s coming from some of the more senior members of the Gang.
Infirm - Not in the mind, but the body. Robin’s upbringing isn’t really the sort that eventually produces people of large statures, and strong bodies. Even when her diet’s good, even with plentiful activity, and lots of good clean American air, Bobbie will never possess a particularly robust constitution, or firm and immovable physical strength. Instead, she’s short, skinny, and sometimes just can’t seem to catch her breath.
Alone - As the title implies really. Robin has nobody, no family at all, certainly not here in the States anyway. Her Dad died when she was thirteen, and if you ever inquire after her Mum, she just goes rather quiet and sad. All she has left is a brother, who remains home in England. Robin has no kin to care for her, no familial faces to go to for comfort, none save for the Gang of course.

PERSONALITY
Robin’s quite like the camps odd little English exchange student. Larky, playful, eager, well-mannered for the most part, and just a little bit green. She’s young, in body and spirit. And therefore at times she is somewhat dense and unfledged. Youthful ignorance has on occasion been the root of accidents, mistakes, some bigger than others.
Bobbie’s a kid who still thinks the West is an unclaimed frontier like all those books and speakers used to say it was. This worldview, while at times endearing, and certainly admirable, is a dream. But, perhaps luckily, her wholehearted belief in such a world is beginning to wane as she grows older, and sees more and more of what the real world truly entails. Robin is, dare I say it, getting savvier by the day. It seems time and hardships spent in the company of the gang are finally wearing the bird down.

VIRTUES
Energetic - The born virtue of youth, Robin seems to have enough energy for herself and then just about every other member of the gang as well. What she may lack in intellectual or age-graced wits, she gains in enthusiasm and vigor. Always up for a job, or chore, Bobbie can always be counted on for some added zeal and gusto.
Professional Arsonist - You need a train tunnel sealed? Robin’s your bird. You need a hole blown into the side of the local bank? Robin’s your bird? You need to know who’s responsible for igniting the camp's supply of lamp oil again? Robin’s your… Oh, wait.
A skill learnt from the best, her ol' Dad, there’s practically nothing Bobbie can’t explode, ignite, disintegrate, or at least thoroughly decimate to some earnest degree.
Wily - Something she has to be really, if physical strength remains unobtainable. While Robin may not be able to hold her own in a fist-fight for too long, she sure is good at getting out of the way of them in the first place. Bobbie’s fast and slippery, and all in all quite good at being evasive. If a fight breaks out, Robin can be relied on to get out of the way quickly, and efficiently.

Burdock Wilson

Spoiler: Burdock Wilson

BURDOCK WILSON

Full Name: Burdock Wilson
Nicknames: ‘Birdie’, But only sometimes. I’d make sure you were on his good side first.
Age: 55
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Role: Camp Cook, and Gunman when needed,

APPEARENCE
Height: 6’2”, Mans built like a goddamned Sequoia.
Hair: At a guess, once a warm chestnut-y brown, now more faded, silver and grayed with time.
Eyes: A tired dull kind of blue.
Distinguishing Features: The Burdock ‘Look’ is infamous among the gang.
A heavy brow rests over a knowing, and ever-watchful gaze. Via just a slight turn of his brows, a crinkle in the corner of his eyes, or perhaps just the speed at which he blinks, Burdock can express a magnitude of thoughts and feelings.
Scars: Numerous, some big, some small, too common in their origin to bear explaining further. Save for one, that is…
An ugly one, on the left side of his face. It's large, and despite being well healed, still somehow looks painful. It’s either from a bullet wound that got infected and enlarged somehow, or perhaps a knife wound. Whatever the case, it was gained when he was trying to save his dear Connie. And that’s all most get to know about it really.
Face Claim: Clancy Brown, specifically when he was more middle-aged however.
Description: He's a big old commodious type of thing, with a broad stocky frame. Age has weathered him, as it does all things. But a life as lively as his has kept him in relatively decent shape. Seems he ain't tuning senile yet at the very least. In a way, Burdock’s a man of repeating contrasts. While tall, and almost Herculean in stature, he’s still somehow soft, and pudgy. Glaring and broody, but warm and gentle too.
He’s almost a bit like a bear really. When his shackles are raised, and his livelihood is threatened, Burdock’s as grizzly and vicious as any other wild animal. But when comfortable in his home, at peace beside his family, the man can be as mellow and kind as a Teddy-Bear.

PERSONAL ITEMS

Weapons:
- Hawken Plains Rifle - Considered a more old fashioned rifle these days, but it’s the type of gun Burdock grew up using, and the type he knows best.
- Colt Army Model Revolver - A standard issue sidearm to US troops from a few decades or so ago. Unsurprising for Burdock to have one then, makes you wonder which side he fought on though… assuming that he fought at all at least anyway.
- Hunting / Cooking Knife - Expected for any of the gang members. Burdock's knife however is designed with cooking in mind also. His knife’s edge has the signature curve of a cleaver, making it useful for both chopping onions, as well as rivals.

Notable Items:
- Wedding Ring - A plain gold band. Burdock wears it in his sleep, when he bathes, when he cooks, and he’ll be wearing it when he dies too.
- Photograph - Taken long ago, judging by how much younger Burdock looks. Despite the picture’s age, it’s been kept immaculately, with little to no signs of fade. In the photo sits a burgeoning Burdock, and a young woman by side. The woman is laughing, and she’s pretty too, with hooded brown eyes, and skin much darker than Burdock's.
- Old Shawl - A woman's shawl, deep maroony red in colour, with a popular paisley pattern printed on it. Although it’s clearly a dear possession of Burdocks, he’s surprisingly content to lend it out to others throughout the camp. Just so long as it’s returned in as good a condition as it was let out. Seems he’s happier with it used with kindness and good intentions in mind, as opposed to letting it gather dust in some forgotten corner.
- Cookbook - ‘Exquisite Cuisine for a Travelling Lifestyle, By Michel Du Plessis’. Containing all your old Favorites, as well as new culinary adventures! Dried Apple Pie, Lob-Scouse, Bread-Pudding, and Oxtail Soup, Now with real Ox!’
For Burdock, the book was an extravagant, and technically completely unnecessary purchase. But however much he might deny the fact, he cares for the gang, and wants to see them fed well beyond almost anything. So, he brought the recipe book in an attempt to try and spoil his family every now and then.

HORSE
Pepperbush
An American Cream Draft Horse, often Pepper for short. A big girl, originally intended to be a farmhouse, but deemed too naggy to work alongside people.Thus she was put for sale as a bargain, and eagerly purchased by the gang to act as a general wagon-horse. But Burdock, ever the adamant soft touch, set out to befriend the mare. And after a year or so of constant work and attention, Pepperbush is now undeniably his horse. As long as Burdock’s around, Pepperbush is now reluctantly civil to other people. She’s still used amongst the wagon teams when the Gang requires a move, but is otherwise Burdock’s gal.

PERSONALITY
Likes: Napping, Chilli, Cornbread, Vinegar Pie, Prizefighting, Campfire stories.
Dislikes: Hardtack, Wine (To drink), Rustling, Opera, Big Cities, Formal Ties, Repeating himself.
Hobbies: Wild Foraging, Cooking (Who’d have thunk...), Dominoes, Writing (He was taught reading and writing as an older adult, and now takes great pride and joy in noting recipes and cooking ideas he comes up with).

VICES
- Grouch - You ask other old timers in the Gang, and apparently it’s something Burdock’s always been a little bit of. But, with Connie’s passing, it’s a trait that’s grown in measure and regularity. If he wakes up on the wrong side of bed, doesn’t get enough coffee, or sometimes for no real good reason at all, Burdock can at times be a right mardy arse. He gets snappy, and mean, and worse of all, sometimes doesn’t even bother making a desert anymore.
- Ambivalent - He had passion once, zeal and spirit for the gangs goals and ideals. Now all faded, leaving bitter and salted realism in its place. Burdock these days remains frustratingly quiet when it comes to big decisions made by the gang. Even if he has an opinion, he refuses to air it.
- Cautious - Which could be seen as a blessing sometimes I suppose. But in the rapid quickfire life of a Prewitt gang member, it’s a quality that’s not very overly welcomed. If there’s any chance of a death, or any great amount of danger, Burdock won’t be for it. He’ll, for once, voice his opinion against such choices, and sometimes even try and persuade others out of partaking in such activities.

VIRTUES
- Candor - Burdock is always open, honest, and fair. He usually finds himself acting as peacekeeper within the gang, and is more than happy to take up this role. He’s a man capable of making judgments free from discrimination or dishonesty, and tries his darndest to stay that way.
- Gentle - Sometimes, as a lamb. He cradles soft things with the practiced delicate touch of a mother, speaks calmly and quietly to any and all who need a kind voice to listen to every now and then, and tries his best to never answer anger with anger in turn. No man's perfect of course, but Burdock tries his best…
- Faithful - Specifically, as opposed to loyal. The two are similar, but in this care succinctly different. Burdock does not choose to follow anything, faith, society, or man, with any sort of unwavering blind loyalty. What if that loyalty led him right off of the edge of a cliff? Or worse still, led someone he cares for over? Burdock is faithful to those he cares for, and to be faithful is to follow and support with love, not loyalty. If his family needs help to be better, he will be there. If they need assistance in unabashed violence and destruction? That’s a different matter.

ETC.
Age has weathered him, roughly too. Over the years, he’s eaten his fill of experience, and gotten plenty full too. At this point in his life, sometimes, words aren’t even needed. Gruff, pretty quiet, and oftentimes completely unreadable. Burdock isn't really the enthusiastic charmer he may have once been in his prime. Although that said, don't be completely fooled by the rugged exterior. Just because he's a little rusty, doesn't by any means mean he's stupid. There's a deep-rooted cunning hidden beneath that hat.

  Alice is an extremely caring person, and often puts others before herself. Empathetic, she is a good shoulder to cry on and a person that many come to for advice. She is quite practical and has little patience for foolish decisions. If you come to her for help after you've done something stupid, expect to be met with some judgement, but only because she cares. She'll help anyone in need even if she will be asking a few questions. Her trustworthiness makes her a good person to confide in, she knows how to keep a secret. A reliable ally, once she says she'll do something no one doubts she will do it. This also makes her rather stubborn, as once she's made her mind up about something she becomes inflexible and won't let anyone stand in her way. She can be overbearing on occasion, inserting herself into others issues in an attempt to help. This is mostly because she'd rather focus on other's problems than her own. While she is quite friendly and honest, she prefers not to get into her own feelings and isn't too open when it comes to herself, deflecting by turning her attention to others.

  TW: Unplanned pregnancy, postpartum depression
  
  Born into a middle-class family that ran a small apothecary in Reading, Ohio, Alice experienced a very dull childhood. She had it drilled into her mind that she was meant to be a proper lady, a wife. Her mother began to teach her how to run a household from a young age, and she was eventually given a tutor for basic education and lots and lots of etiquette. Alice followed this mold most of her childhood, largely guided by her parents being rather cold people. They didn't show her very much affection, so she thought that if she could impress them by becoming everything they wanted her to be, then she'd be granted their approval.
  
  She walked down the rigid path that was paved for her, at least for a while. As she approached her teen years, she occasionally took small detours. Miserable in a life she did not choose for herself, she wanted something more interesting, something to free her soul. She began engaging in less ladylike behaviors, sneaking out to bars with friends and staying out late without her parents' knowledge. Her parents started noticing this behavior and harshly scolded her. She began to notice how high her parents' standards were—impossible to reach. She realized that gaining true affection from them would be impossible; they had none to give, so she rebelled further.
  
  In the pinnacle of her rebellious years, when she was 19, she met a boy. Nick McDevitt came to town with his mother and father, visiting some family, who owned a small ranch on the outskirts of town. He was a charming young man, coming from a background of wealth and privilege. He had always seen the bright side of life, not having to face harsh realities like so many others did. Alice met him in the local bar one night, and the two sociable young adults hit it off right away. They had an undeniable spark, and unfortunately, that spark was easily extinguished by the harsh realities of the world. For two months, Alice and Nick engaged in a youthful fling before Nick went back home, never to be heard from again. In those fleeting months, Alice felt more free than she had been her entire life and got lost in the feeling.
  
  About two months after Nick left, Alice reached the conclusion that she was pregnant. Ultimately, the doctor she had gone to in confidence ended up writing her parents. She knew she shouldn't have trusted him. Her parents wrote Nick's, pleading that they do the right thing and tell Nick to ask for Alice's hand in marriage. It was discovered that Nick wasn't a very noble man, shirking any responsibility for the child and refusing to be tied down because of his temporary fling. However, his mother was a more sympathetic (and bored) woman. See, she had trouble conceiving, couldn't manage to have more children after Nick, and had been craving another child to take care of all those years. The woman was so looking forward to raising a grandchild. Eventually they came to an agreement: Nick's family would adopt the child, but Alice would lose any claim to them; they'd claim that the child was from the family they were visiting in Reading, a poor child that they took in since their family members didn't have the means or the time to care for them. In exchange for completely giving up her child, Alice would be given a sum of money to ease the loss.
  
  It took much convincing, but eventually Alice's severely displeased parents talked her into taking the deal. Even though Alice didn't exactly want this child, she didn't know how to feel about completely abandoning it. She felt she should have been there for her own baby, taking care of them, but her parents convinced her that her life would be better off if she was able to pretend this child, her child, never existed. They sent her off to live with her grandma several towns over to keep the pregnancy a secret. Surprisingly, Alice greatly enjoyed life with her grandmother. She was a widow who had a modest amount of money left to her by her late husband. Not a very judgmental woman, she never scolded Alice and instead gave her the love she'd been missing all her life. She went through the days pointing out the simple joys of life; most notably, she began to cook meals with Alice. Alice had already been taught how to cook, but her grandma's cooking was different. It was meaningful—filled with emotion and passion, which seemed to make all the difference in flavor. She was taught a lot of techniques, and through her grandmother's teaching, she became quite the chef. But eventually, it was time to go. She had her child and was sent back to her parents.
  
  Alice suffered postpartum depression after the birth of her baby girl. She was severely disconnected from the world and rarely left her room. Only a few times a week did she feel normal, and that was when she mustered up the energy to get to the kitchen to cook a meal. A couple months later, her grandmother passed away. This shock seemed to pull her out of her postpartum depression and into reality, finally processing the world around her. Her mother left her some personal belongings and quite a bit of money, which came as a surprise to her. As Alice returned to her ordinary self, her parents began pressuring her to marry a local boy from a suitable family that they had found and made an arrangement with. Overwhelmed by the whole thing, one night she took off. She took some of her personals, some items from her parents, her father's horse, and both the money from Nick's family and from her grandma, approximately totaling a shocking thousand dollars.
  
  Now a woman on the run, Alice kept moving, stopping in many towns briefly to rest. She kept this on for a long time before finally settling down in Edwardsville, Illinois. She was staying at an inn when she heard the owner mention that they had just lost their cook. Alice piped up, mentioning that she could cook and was looking for work, and after a trial meal, she was hired. For a few years, she lived and worked there. It wasn't a bad life by any means; she was just missing something. While she was friendly with many in town, she had a lack of personal connections and was hesitant to form relationships after both her family and romantic connection proved to not have cared about her. This made her a bit dissatisfied with her life. She knew she had the means to pack up and go somewhere else; she just didn't know where she could go. So, there she stayed.
  
  Until, one day, the Prewitt gang passed through town. They didn't know it at the time, but a few members stopped at the inn to fulfill their craving for a well-prepared meal, and they enjoyed Alice's cooking. Later on, she went to the market and came across a couple members that had been sent to purchase food for the gang. Noticing that they were about to get some nearly spoiled vegetables, she recommended some fresher produce. In her typical friendly nature, she chatted for a bit and ended up following them around with their shopping, recommending the most practical foods and giving cooking tips as they went along. Jokingly, one of the members said she should just come with them and be their cook. At first, Alice just laughed, but after a second of thought, she genuinely asked if that was a possibility. She didn't know what she wanted out of life or whether she'd find it traveling with the Prewitt gang; she just knew she wasn't finding it in her current home, so she might as well try something new. She ended up being invited along, making their meals a million times better and earning many people's favor by pleasing them with her food. Having now been in the Prewitt gang for years, she's grown rather fond of many of her fellow gang members and found joy in caring for them, often dishing out some advice along with dinner.

  Earl Porter, Father, Alive
  Tabitha Porter, Mother, Alive
  Rebecca Porter, Grandmother, Deceased
  Delaney Porter, Daughter, Alive
  
  How old was she when she joined the Prewitt Gang?
  She was 22. She's been with the gang for about 12 years now.
  
  How does she feel about William Martells death?
  He was such a sweet boy, she feels a lot of remorse over the death. His wife comes to her occasionally and Alice provides her with as much comfort and special food she can spare.
  
  What does she think the group should do? Should they go good or stay outlaws?
  She thinks that going good would be best for everyone, avoid further pain and death. But, she doesn't take too much issue with being outlaws. She knows it isn't up to her. As the cook, she isn't exactly too involved in the jobs, and if she ever did really oppose a decision the group made she has the means to leave.

  Weapon: Colt pocket model 1949, stolen a while ago from her father when she ran away. She took it for self protection but the most use it's gotten was holding it up to threaten someone once. Honestly, she's not often carrying this with her.
  More of a personal item than a weapon, but in the right situation she could make good use of her set of kitchen knives, she even keeps the chef's knife given to her by her grandma holstered on her waist.
  Horse: Star. Also stolen, but probably better off with Alice. A light brown American Quarter Horse with a quiet and reliable personality. Used to spook easily, but over the last ten years or so she's gotten better.
  Notable Items: A cookbook given to her by her grandma
  Small collection of jewelry
  A surprising amount of money, about 800 dollars stashed away

  Character Questions​

  How old were they when they joined the Prewitt Gang?
  23 years old.
  How do they feel about William Marrell's death?
  Shaken, Constance had grown close to William over the years and maybe even saw him as something like a brother. This is the first if not one of the first deaths that had affected her personally. She was frustrated with Remus but never took it out on him, instead gave the cold shoulder to most everyone until the gang arrived at Serenity Gulch.
  What do they think the group should do? Should they go good or stay outlaws?
  Stay outlaws. She is very opposed to becoming "civilized" and finds the idea of settling down terrifying. It is not that Constance wants to live off of thievery and killing, but she fears what she will have to sacrifice to "become good".
  How do they feel about the move they just went on?
  Exhausted and irritated, as she despises major changes. She had gotten happily settled in Crow's Alley despite her distaste for being close to people. But now that they have settled into Serenity Gulch, Constance isn't complaining as much.

  Character Questions​

  How old were they when they joined the Prewitt Gang?
  30 years old.
  How do they feel about William Marrell's death?
  Disappointed. Loss is not uncommon to Gideon though she lacks a numb heart. She voiced her displeasure about what happened but never held anyone at fault except those that shot him.
  What do they think the group should do? Should they go good or stay outlaws?
  He would like to go good as he never wanted to be an outlaw. There are few things in life that Giddy wants more than to see his family again, but he is paranoid that the lawmen will come looking for him, and he never wants to bring bad news to his parents' door. He will stay with the majority even if he has the opportunity to return home.
  How do they feel about the move they just went on?
  Hopeful for a better future. Gideon finds joy in simple labor, and even though he dislikes traveling in wagons for long periods of time, he kept a bright smile on during the whole move. Doing whatever needed to keep them going, if it meant replacing a wagon wheel or dragging chests out of the mud, Gideon was there in a second.

LIKES: Animals! All sorts, really. Sunrise and sunset. Enjoys a bit of classical music.

DISLIKES: Meaningless cruelty. Torture. The sound of gunshots. The rain

HOBBIES: Likes a spot of gardening; would love to grow crops for the gang. Loves to read and learn.

VICES: Ira can get far too into his own head when it comes to morality. He could stay up all night long pondering right and wrong, even though he knows it isn't black and white. Embarrassingly, he can also be a bit of a coward. He isn't a soldier or a gunman and has no desire to be one, particularly due to his lack of bravery. Some people find Ira a little hard to get along with, as he can come across a little antisocial; he certainly seems to prefer the company of animals to that of humans.

VIRTUES: If Ira can be called one thing, it is reliable. Give him a job to do - within his skillset - and be assured, it will be done. Ira is also a reasonable man; he can see when an animal deserves a peaceful death rather than to suffer, and he is ready and willing to make that call. He is an intelligent man who gets the job done without a complaint. Ira is well-tempered and honest, very rarely becoming angry or frustrated.

istory.

TRIGGER WARNING - ANIMAL DEATH/EUTHANASIA

Ira was born to a pastor and his homemaker wife, and despite being an only child, his upbringing was a strict and relatively loveless one. His mother cared the most about praying and serving his father, and his father cared more about spreading the word of the lord than bonding with his son. Ira never minded too much - he would pick flowers and sit in the church, admiring the stained glass while his father rambled on about something or other. From a young age, Ira had an innate curiosity for bigger things than his father believed in. As he got older, he became interested in science and biology, particularly when it concerned animals. His father was not a fan of these endeavours - he wanted Ira to follow in his footsteps and preach the way he did. Ira sat through various Bible teachings, but none of it ever really stuck.

The family had a dog, Moses, Ira's best friend, who had been around longer than Ira had been alive. By the time Ira was 14, Moses was a year older, and he was struggling. Ira begged his father to put Moses out of his misery, but his father refused, stating that Moses would go when his time came. Eventually, Moses lost use of his legs and was in constant pain, and Ira couldn't take it anymore. One night, whilst his parents slept, Ira carried Moses out to a secluded field. Sobbing the entire time, Ira gave Moses the quick, painless death that he deserved. Once home, he deliberately left the gate open, and his parents awoke assuming that poor Moses had run away.

Despite the pain and guilt that followed Ira after this decision, he realised that this was his true passion in life - not killing animals, necessarily, but ensuring that the life they had was of quality. At the age of 18, Ira began an apprenticeship at the veterinarian's office in his town, much to his parents' dismay. Ira loved his work, but found the variety in it was lacking. Often, the only people who could afford veterinary care were the rich folks, for their horses. Ira wanted to help the stray dogs, the farmer's horse, the shopkeep's cat.

It was at this point - around the age of 23 - that Ira decided he would become a travelling veterinarian, treating animals in towns for cheaper than their local vets. His parents were quite outraged at this decision, particularly as they had given Ira a comfortable life, which he was now throwing away. Ira was more than happy to live in a tent for the next few years, to do whatever it took to help as many people and animals as possible. Whilst preparing for his journey, his father suffered a heart attack and passed away, with himself and Ira not on the best of terms. Ira, despite their relationship, was quite heartbroken, and for the first time, found himself wondering about all this Heaven and Hell business.

Still, Ira could not abandon his passion and left his grieving mother to pursue his work. He left his mother with the majority of his savings from his work at his town's veterinarian office, just to make sure that she wouldn't want for anything, at least not for a while. For years, Ira did exactly what he had planned. He moved from town to town, treating animals, and euthanising those that needed it. He didn't make much money, but the townspeople would often gift him food or firewood as a thank-you for his services.

29 years old, Ira was travelling between towns when he came across a man and his fallen horse. Immediately, Ira came to his aid, and treated the horse's injuries, as well as giving the man - one Rasmus Prewitt - a ride to where he had been going. He then met Rasmus' associates, and before he could make his leave, was propositioned. Ira was a little overwhelmed at first; he was no criminal, and whilst he understood the societal issues that made someone a criminal, he wasn't sure if he could see himself on that side. But he had looked in the faces of those who asked him to join them, to aid them with his vet services, and truly, how could Ira say no?

Q

uestions.

How old was he when he
joined the Prewitt's gang?

Ira was twenty-nine years old.

How does he feel about
William Marrell's death?

Largely disappointed for a young man who had an entire life to live, but also incredibly nervous for what it could and will mean for the gang.

What does he think the
group should do?

In a perfect world, Ira would love if the entire group could 'go good' and live long, fear-free lives. However, he is also painfully aware that for many of them, that is no longer possible.

How does he feel about
the recent move?

Ira will follow the gang wherever they go, and honestly, he doesn't mind a change of scenery to a bit of a quieter place.

  Scars:

  Modifications:
  Pierced Ears
  
  Description:
  Angelina is a tall woman with a stocky build. Her upper arms and legs are thick from years of farm work and other manual labor. Her hands have callouses, nails are kept short and neat but her cuties are often peeling or cracked due to the unfortunate habit of picking at them. Freckles cover the large majority of her chest, shoulders, cheeks, and forearms thanks to the sun and her Irish blood. Angelina's hair is a bright ginger, and while she keeps it long, more often than not it's braided or kept up in some way to avoid making a mess of it and the camp food/open wounds.
  
  Angelina has a soft features. She has an oval shaped face, her jawline is not very defined either. She has a smaller button nose with a slightly crooked bridge from being broken a few years back. Her eyes are almond shaped, with long eyelashes. Her cheeks are round, with slightly prominent cheekbones. Her lips are on the thicker side, sweetheart shaped. Angelina also loves, and prefers, wearing skirts/dresses over pants, she sticks to a lot of earth tone colors like green and brown, with a few stand out pieces like a dark blue piece.
  
• 
  Weapon:
  Colt Single Action Army Revolver: A very standard 6 shooter revolver. This little piece has been with Angelina for ages. A gift from her father in fact. She's maintained it well, the body is well polished with no rust. The grip is dark, polished mahogany that's been worn in from years of practice with it.
  
  Winchester Model 1866: This lever action rifle is a gun Angelina got shortly after joining the Prewitt Gang. She wanted something a little more significant than just her pistol, but given her role in camp, didn't need something very powerful. She typically used the gun for hunting.
  
  Knife: Self explanatory. Angelina keeps a 7 inches long, single edge knife with a clip point on her belt. Useful for gathering and processing supplies.
  
  Horse:
  Angelina is the proud rider of Artemisia, a 12 year old Palomino Thoroughbred mare. She's a calm horse, well trained, fiercely loyal to the people of the gang, but will buck you right off if you're not Angelina. There's been very few exceptions, typically children and Angelina's dearest friend. Artemisia was originally a work horse on Angelina's family farm, but after the...events 7 or so years ago, Artemisia has been a member of the Prewitt Gang's horses.
  
  Notable Items:
  Family Photos: Angelina has two notable family Photos that stays near her bed at all times. Both are family portraits, one of which depicting a much younger Angelina and her parents sitting in front of a half build barn. The other shows Angelina with a small boy sitting in her lap, and dead outlaw Samuel "Crack Shot" Brewer. Her husband.
  
  Silver Locket: It's nothing special, a simple silver Locket charm hanging on some thin leather strap around her neck. Angelina never opens it around others, and never takes it off.
  
  Leather Doctors Bag: Small enough to be tucked in a horse, it's got all the essentials for spontaneous first aid. Bandages, spirits, cloth, needles and thread, tweezers and a few other things that come in handy when patching up them burly outlaws.
  
• 
  Likes:
  Coffee, the scent of tobacco, beards, providing for camp, children, water lilies, mild weather, making new clothes, going into town
  
  Dislikes:
  Snitches, arrogance, persimmons, bad stormy weather, any sort of boat (sea sickness), red clay mud, lack of manners
  
  Hobbies:
  Sewing Clothing
  Playing Dominos
  Reading
  Gossiping
  
  Vices:
  Self-loathing: What happened to her before joining the gang left Angelina with a severe lack of self confidence and security. She often pokes fun at herself, constantly second guesses herself, and she finds it hard to accept compliments from anyone.
  
  Untrusting: Understandably, Angelina finds it hard to trust the people around her. Even though she knows she's safe, Angelina is constantly watching over her shoulder. She keeps her back away from others, she sleeps away from everyone, but not too far in case something is sneaking up in the dark. It's easier to trust the women in the gang than it is to trust the men as well.
  
  Self-destructive: Angelina has found herself with a bit of a wild side now that she lived with outlaws. Or perhaps she knows it could all end at a moments notice. When she drinks, she drinks hard. She gambles a little more than necessary, or finds herself in the arms of strangers for the night (she's pretty cautious with this though, any hint of illness and she dips immediately) and she takes risks here and there she doesn't really need to take given her role as the camp cook/doctor.
  
  
  Virtues:
  Hard-Working: Angelina does not know how to relax to save her life. But that's a good thing, in a sense anyway. She keeps on top of inventory, any clothes will be repaired within the day, small ignored chores will not be ignored. And when it's not busy work, the woman is reading, or making something new, or playing dominos even if she's not too good at it. Angelina is constantly moving and doing.
  
  Compassionate: She's got a mother's heart. People can come to her to vent about their problems and get advice or just a helpful ear. She hates when the people are struggling. This compassion extends to those not part of the gang, to some extent, and animals. If there's a way Angelina can help, she'd like to do so...within reason.
  
  Cheerful: Her attitude to herself may be negative, and her trust issues may have her at a distance, but Angelina is a ball of sunshine. She's often smiling, laughing, or chatting up a storm about everything and nothing all at once. It may have taken a while to get back here, but Angelina is a peach.
  
  
• 
  History:
  Trigger warning: child death, SA
  A good portion of Angelina's early life is uneventful, and quiet frankly, rather boring. She was born to Irish immigrants Henry and Fiona, in a small home on the farm they worked for. She was raised hand in hand with farm life, it's all she knew for years. As a small child she was tasked with helping collect eggs and crops, cleaning buckets or other smaller tools, age appropriate things. The list would grow as she did, her responsibilities shifting as she grew more capable. On top of the physical labor, her mother would teach her more feminine skills, like sewing and how to cook. Angelina felt more at home doing these activities, especially cooking but everyone has to pull their weight. Especially after the owners of the farm passed, and to everyone's surprise left the land to the McDermott's. It was a stroke of luck, hard work and a well established relationship paid off for the better. Most of the farm hands stayed, and the children of the farm's previous owners were more than happy to leave it to pursue their own dreams. Henry and Fiona took a few months to figure out what exactly they wanted to do with the land. There were a few different exports they had, mainly livestock though. Sheep, cows, and horses. They made the decision to focus a little more on the horse breeding aspect of the farm, which took off much better than expected. Angelina was still tasked with helping out with smaller chores, and it's because of this her life took a very interesting turn.
  
  When she was 16, early one morning the thunderous sound of horses descended on their house like a storm. Immediately she assumed some of theirs had gotten out but instead, a group of 8 rough looking individuals fled past and into the barn to hide. Hot on their trails was the law. The sheriff demanded that Angelina tell them where those put laws had gone, and without realizing she was doing it, Angelina lied right to his face. She said they had kept going right past her, spooking her and the horses something fierce. They moved on whether they believe the teen or not. And she, once again beyond her better judgement marched right into the barn to demand to know what was going on. This would be her first encounter with the Higgins Boys, and more importantly, Samuel Brewer. He was a dashing young man, a couple years older than her. Their eyes locked during the either very stupid or very brave chewing out of Hick Higgins, who mind you was very amused by her guts. Not many women, let alone a teenage girl, would do this. Higgins offered their services to Angelina in exchanged for some time to rest and waiting for the law to leave. She accepted, and put them to work cleaning up and tending to the animals. By the time they were done, she'd prepared lunch and explained the odd situation to her parents, Samuel had fallen for her. This crazy turn of fate began their long courtship.
  
  Every couple of months Samuel would make his way to the McDermott farm in order to see Angelina. They wrote and sent gifts,he tried to convince her to leave with him. Angelina tried convincing him to stay. She wouldn't be successful until the day she told him they were expecting. He immediately asked her to marry him. Since she was pregnant, they got married quickly in a private ceremony with only her parents, a priest, and the Higgins members. There were tears, both of joy and goodbyes as the gang knew Samuel had found a new calling. Over the course of her pregnancy, her parents built a new house out on the other end of their property. Far enough way for privacy, but not to be isolated. It was nice having her parents as a support system but a taste of life away from them. Their son Gabriel, named after Samuel's grandfather was born healthy, and strong. Angelina was content. Life went on.
  
  When Gabriel was about 4 though, Samuel began to disappear again. Not for so long Angelina knew what was going on, but enough she suspected. The quiet life of farming wasn't enough for him. Samuel grew colder, more distant. Man never laid a hand on her or the boy, but he kept a bottle near by at all times. The coin flipped one day though, he started disappearing for days on end, just a little longer than it took to go off to the city and back. But he was happier than ever. Honestly, Angelina thought he was cheating on her, and as angry as it made her, she was fine with it. The man she married was back. She said nothing about it for two years, not until it was finally too late. He'd been gone nearly two weeks by now, much longer than usual. One day nearing the end of the two weeks, a couple of rough looking men descended onto their home. Her parents were off selling horses, the farm hands were off for the day, there was nobody else to go to. These men needed to know where Samuel was, and Angelina was honest. She hasn't seen him in weeks, no clue where he'd gotten off to. But this wasn't acceptable to them. They forced their way into the house. Gabriel was locked in a closet, in the dark while his mother was attacked in the main room. She fought as hard as she could, until her voice was gone, until her nails were short and dull, until she could nothing but lay there and sob, begging and pleading that she didn't know where Samuel was. They had their fun for a day or two, Angelina didn't know, and eventually went and got her son. They asked one more time and when she insisted once again that she didn't know where he was, they slit Gabriel's throat. The men left shortly after, taking anything of value they could find leaving Angelina cradling her son's body.
  
  Samuel returned early the next morning. Angelina hadn't moved, hell she hardly reacted when he crept inside the house. Her clothes were soaked in Gabriel's blood, her body was covered in bruises, her nose was broken. Samuel didn't ask what happened, he knew. He could barely whisper an apology before Angelina was on him, her first flying wildly. No words, no curses, silence as she wailed on his body. He pushed her off and ran, Angelina gave chase and followed the man until the both fell down the short hill into the small river that cut through the edge of the farm. Angelina somehow recovered first and kept Samuel under water until his lips turned blue. Without a word she drug him out, not wanting to contaminate her families water. Slowly she made her way back to the house, only this time she was greeted by a sheriff and his deputy. They had already found Gabriel, they already had their guilty party in mind. Angelina had no choice but to flee, calling Artemisia as she dipped through the woods.
  
  The next thing she remembers is a gruff looking face poking her awake. Somehow, she and Artemisia escaped the law and ended up in a compromising position as a certain gang was passing through. She looked awful, and could barely manage her name let alone an explanation. With either the intent of robbing her of Artemisia or genuine pity, she was taken into the Prewitt Gang. The first few months of her residency with them was spent essentially catatonic. She helped with the menial tasks around camp like laundry or patching clothes. She explained her story to their leader, and what she could manage with those who asked. One day, after a rough run in with the law, another gang, or both, some of the men came tumbling back into camp. They needed aid, and with the lack of a doctor on site, Angelina did what she could. Turns out, her skill with patching clothes came in handy. Her steady hand removed bullets and stitches wounds, she kept them from getting infected and worse. Her date changed that day. That very morning she has been contemplating finding a nice tree and a short rope, but someone, maybe God, maybe something else, had other plans. Her hands were made for saving lives now, not taking more. When it can be helped anyway.
  
  Family:
  Gabriel Brewer, Son, 6 - Deceased: Gabriel was the light of Angelina's life, her little gift from the universe. He was a bright, kind child who greeted the world with open arms. After his death, something about Angelina has been different. He took a part of her soul with him to the other side and she's never going to get it back.
  
  Samuel Brewer, Husband, 36 - Deceased: They fell hard and fast with each other, even if his life style took him away from her often. It was also that very lifestyle that took their son. Samuel died shortly after the loss of their son, and he died a hated man. Angelina does not speak of him often, and when she does, it is not kind.
  
  Henry & Fiona McDermott, Parents, 55 & 53 - Alive: Angelina hasn't seen her parents in years, but writes to them often. Not that she gets a response, Angelina doesn't expect one. They had a good relationship up to about 7 years ago, and Angelina has given up on reconnecting. She just wants to ensure that they know she's alive and well.

• 
  How old were they when they joined the Prewitt Gang?
  Angelina was 28 when she first joined the Prewitt Gang
  
  How do they feel about William Marrell's death?
  Angelina is saddened by the death of Mr. Marrell, she cares about everyone in the gang to some degree, even if they weren't very close.
  
  What do they think the group should do? Should they go good or stay outlaws?
  Angelina is conflicted about this. She understands the people around her can't change who they are, nor does she expect them to. There's no escaping their crimes, their associations, or else. But the allure of a new life with a clean slate once again is tempting. If everyone could make it work, even better.
  
  How do they feel about the move they just went on?
  Angelina is exhausted from uprooting, a little displeased about loosing some of the better connections for supplies that may be hard to get going again, but otherwise she's fine with it. It's not the end of the world, and better than hanging.
