The Old American West

[Kaiser]

​

The year is 1880, the place is Texas. The United States is expanding rapidly and the West opens up to much exploration. Rail roads span the land and towns are built all along. Many problems arise in this times. Racial and gender inequality run wild along with Chinese immigrant control. In towns, trade is constant and so are crimes. Gangs of bandits roam the deserts with Sheriffs and Marshall on the hunt. It was a simpler time with great things to come. For now, it's a life of straight tobacco and a six round revolver on your belt. The American Frontier.

[Psychedelic]

Name: Delilah Harrison
Age: 21
Employment: Assists father in the local grocers.
Biography: Honestly, not much happened in her life. Although her mother died during childbirth, the deprevation didn't really cause her any problems. Delilah grew up with the love and support of her father, a wounded soldier left with a permanent limp. Due to this seemingly small disability, Delilah took over most of the heavylifting work, as well as any travelling that had to be done in order to supply the shop. As a result of this she has grown into quite a strong woman, both physically and mentally. She is generally a polite girl, but doesn't exactly pull any punches either. Her life is her family of one other, and secretly she is a bit lonely, but now that her good ol' daddy is ageing she feels she owes it to him more than ever to stick around and care for him.
Picture: The best I could do xD Just ignore the guns.[spoili]

[Kaiser]

I love German, I envy all who speak it. I am a simple American.

 

[Necroay]

Me too, I can only speak bits and pieces, but I'm learning.

 

[Kaiser]

It was not available in my high school, and my major doesn't give me time to fit it into my class scheduling. I would love to learn the language and live in the glorious country for a few months to a year. A guy can dream.

 

[Necroay]

I'm only learning it cuz I have extreme pride in my heritage. My highschool only taught Spanish as a second language.

Biography: Jeremiah's family is one of the first to settle down in Lockbridge, his father was an extremely skilled doctor and surgeon who trained Jeremiah since he was thirteen. Jeremiah in his spare times helps out people with his knowledge on medicine, herbs, and even a little bit of surgery. At the age of sixteen his father kicked Jeremiah out of the family home because Jeremiah's often habit of tinkering with town gadgets go the family in trouble and he wanted Jeremiah to have the full punishment of his actions. Jeremiah for the next couple of years, Jeremiah traveled around peddling his gadgets and doing low fee medical procedures, once having enough money he moved back to Lockbridge.

I think I found a good picture. :P If you search up photos on deviantart you usually will find what your looking for. But when searching wild west there's alot of..inappropriate stuff sadly. lol.

Also on a note, I don't mind any particular relations to bloom between him and others, romantic or whatever. It would be cool to somehow tie him into some characters bios to add some more interesting interaction. Like they knew him before he left or something. :)
