Character History:

Legends say that in the gilded age of the Wild West there was a man with no name, no past, no origin, no family, nor home. This single being, a nomadic bounty hunter of sorts, people who have heard the tales or if lucky to have seen them have come to call him. Some individuals have even come to respect the man, calling him a do-gooder of stern justice. While others, the less then low-life individuals, the goons and bandits of the Old West claim the No-Named Individual to be a cruel master in the art of gunplay, and if the bounty paid well, you were better off dead in your own hands. However this may be, they say he travels from place to place, town to town, settlement to settlement, looking for work and bounties any way he can. If the situation or price is right, he may even lend a helping hand.

Howdy, pardner! It’s great to see you again, I’ll be reviewing your application. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

For your Character Behavior section — Can you provide a brief description to summarize the two word identifier you’ve chosen? It doesn’t have to be very long, just a sentence or two for each term. This will give us a better idea of your character’s personality. Here’s an example:

Arthur Morgan is an Honorable Outlaw. Arthur may be a man with few qualms about killing, but he doesn't kill without a good reason, especially if his actions have the potential to endanger those he is close to. As an outlaw, he is confident in his ability to intimidate and bully his way through tough scrapes; he is physically imposing and no stranger to duels, knife-fights, and drunken brawls.

For your Character History section — How did your character come to be in the Crossroads (our website’s setting)? Is he native to the Crossroads, or did he just appear one day?

For “Colt 1851 Navy” — Can you also list the total cost of this ability below your Effects/Modifiers? Also, please be sure to mention all of your modifiers in your description to explain how they affect how this ability functions.

For “Dynamite Stick” — Unfortunately, since your character starts at Level 1, the Rank Cap for this ability is Damage Rank 5. In that case, at Rank 5 all of the modifiers you have listed here would either add or subtract 250E from the Total Cost of your ability.

Please also list the Total Cost of this ability below the Effects/Modifiers!

For “Bowie Knife” — Please list the Total Cost of this ability below the Effects/Modifiers!

For your Master Skills — Can you provide brief one sentence (or more if you want) descriptions for each of these skills?

General — It looks like you have a loose Endurance 3 (300) Effect that is not attached to any particular ability. Can you write up a description for it/assign this Effect to an ability?

Though at times a violent bounty hunter, No Name prefers to stay quiet while approaching any situation a clear and open mind allows for actions to speak louder. As bounty hunter of the Old West, No name has become proficient at the art of gunslinging and has an even deadlier quick draw.

Colt 1851 Navy- An old custom-made single-action revolver with the image of a rattlesnake etched onto the handle. The Bounty Hunter can fire the small but powerful handgun causing a .36 caliber bullet to hit his targets. Aiming down the barrel of this short ranged revolver, No Name can fire up to six shots before having to manually reload. Bullets don't always come cheap and can't carry but so much, so the Hunter prefers not to shoot unless the time is necessary. In some situations, if someone were to be lucky on the draw No Name could be disarmed.

Knowledge (Weapons Expert) Rank 5 (250)- The years of being a bounty hunter had been kind to The Man with No Name. He had become a master of guns and weapons and with time he could easily use anything he hadn't come across before.

Knowledge (Equestrian) Rank 5 (250)- Being born in the time of the Old West before cars, one would learn how to use a horse properly to get around. Being a bounty hunter, however, has allowed him to master his horsemanship.

Knowledge (Bounty Hunting) Rank 5 (250) One does not become a myth or legend just out of thin air, No Name has taken countless bounties dead or alive over the years.

General — It looks like you have a loose Endurance 3 (300) Effect that is not attached to any particular ability. Can you write up a description for it/assign this Effect to an ability?

Not really sure why I added that, must have been looking at something else.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Awesome, thank you for making those updates. I just have one more thing:

On your “Dynamite Stick” ability, it looks like a lot of your modifiers still say that they add or subtract 150E. Since you changed it to Damage Rank 5, though, it should look more like this, with a total cost of 250E! =>

Damage 5 (500)
--Ranged (+250)
-- Affects Multiple (+250)
--Finite: 4 (-250)
--Removable (-250)
-- Indiscriminate (-250)
Total Cost 250
