Midnight Glow: The Bounty List(Signup!)

Name: Jim Narstrom
Alias: Blankin' on this at the moment. If someone else wants to give him one that's fine.
Gender: Of the masculine proclivity.
Age: 26
Occupation: Shootin' Folks.
Appearance: Mostly a fresh faced kid, but he's already managed to get a few scars here and there from his line of work and he ain't a particularly small man. Ain't a particularly big one, either. He thinks a bit o' stubble makes him look closer to his age, so he don't shave much.
Skills: Shootin' Folks. Or to be a bit more explanatory:

Dueling--There are times when a man needs to face down another man, look him in the eye, and then shoot it. Doin' so before he does it to you first requires a very quick and steady hand. Jim's got both.
Dead eye--He can shoot the bridle out of the mouth of a runnin' horse at distance with a revolver without breaking its teeth. Well, many of its teeth.
Rough and Tumble--Sometimes when all hell breaks loose you ain't got a gun to use, and sometimes you don't wanna risk killing someone with a bullet. During these times it takes a quick mind, a strong arm, and a good left hook to come through. Or a well placed kick to the manhood. Or the clarity of mind and lack of honor to use that there bar stool as a bat... or to bite man's finger off. Jim ain't above any o' that.
Fast Shootin'--Sometimes there's six men against you. Sometimes you just hate someone so much you wanna shoot him six times. Most times the hammer of the pistol ain't quite quick enough for this. That is unless you've got the skill and the know how to pull it back manually just enough to give it the oomph to fire without locking it back. And do it fast. Jim can.
Bondage--Well, when a bounty pays twice as much alive, its usually best to tie them up before you bring them in.

Gear:
On guards:

Six Shooter--A rather new colt single action army chambered 44-40. A real killing machine.
Lever Action Rifle--A good ole .44 Rifmfire Henry. His dad used it in the civil war before he died. It's a keepsake. And a deadly one.
Shotgun--Nothing works better in close quarters than a nice 1878 double barrel hammer shotgun. Sawed off, of course, for easier maneuvering in buildings.
LeMat Revolver--Another keepsake from his father, pulled off the corpse of a Confederate cavalryman. He rarely uses it, due to the antiquated loading and inaccurate firing. Though the grapeshot barrel is useful on rare occasion.
Various Supplies--Some rope for tying folks up, climbing things, and general utility, a buck knife, some rations, and some basic camp supplies.

On Him

Duster--You can't be a proper bounty hunter without one. And one of them thar fancy hats.

Personality: Jim always gives people two options. The easy way or the hard way. It's an unfortunate fact of life that most folks are too obstinate to take the easy way and end up pretty hurt at that. Though the fact he gives them an option at all, shows that he's not quite so gruff and rough as his exterior personality would seem to imply. On the other hand, he has seen a lot of death and fighting in his day, and when the bullets start flying all that compassion goes right out the window in the name of survival.

Bio: His dad died as a union soldier when he was seven, his mother didn't exactly make it so well without him and ended up with a monster of a man who ended up killing her when Jim was 12. Unfortunate for his step-dad then that Jim knew how to use his father's old Henry Rifle and put a bullet in the man's head. After that Jim fell in with some outlaws, killed folks, learned to shoot, etc.

Dead dad and abusive step father aside, though, Jim never quite agreed with his new family, and once he he was old enough to make it on his own--about 16--he cut out of there. With no marketable skills other than killing people, however, he quickly fell into bounty hunting and selling his gun to the highest bidder. There are a few rumors of unscrupulous bidders being on the wrong side of his gun if he didn't like a job, or his payment wasn't forthcoming, however.

He was mostly okay with the law, until he was sent to get a man he used to run with, made the mistake of bringing him back alive, and he got fingered as a gang member after hauling him back. That day did not go well, and suddenly he had a bounty on his own head, some of it for things he didn't even do. 'Course a good amount of it he did in his escape from the sheriff's office when he turned the man in... and then there's all the less than legal 'hired gun' things he's been doing since.

Record:
Murder-Multiple counts
Theft-Multiple counts
Horse Theft
Train Robbery
Armed Robbery
Murder of an Officer of the Law-Multiple Counts
Resisting Arrest
Aggravated Assault
Destruction of Public Property

Other: Jim can be a bit... vindictive when he doesn't like what someone's been doing. One report, for instance, claims that he walked in on a man beating a whore and shot that man six times in the space of mere seconds. Once in each knee, once in each elbow, and twice directly in his manhood... before calling a doctor. When asked he responded that he would have only shot him the five times, but he felt there wasn't any point leaving just one bullet in his revolver.

Name: Samson Walter
Alias: "Hammer Sam"
Gender: Yup, I'm playing a male.
Age: 26
Occupation: Blacksmith, now man for hire
Appearance: Samson is a very imposing individual. He stands at around 6'1" and is a muscular 240. He has a mop of black hair on his head, usually kept short due to the fires of his work. If he is actually working he'll wear dark pants, no shirt and a thick apron to cover him, but in the cage he is currently wearing dark jeans, boots, button up gray shirt (gray from color or sweat/dirt is up for debate) and a tan jacket with fringes on it, given to him by an 'injun as payment for his last job. Instead of a hat, he opts for a red bandanna to keep the sweat off his face.

Skills:
Big Man: Sam is a big man, and knows how to put all of his muscle behind his punches and kicks.
Hand to hand brawler: He'll disarm you and punch your lights out before you can sneeze.
Fair shot: While not a sniper or dead eye, Samson is fairly good with a gun.
Hammer Time: Guy can smith, he knows his stuff. Need something repaired? He can do it.

Gear:
Guards: Revolver (M1873 .45 Peacemaker), large hammer (for makin stuff and beatin stuff), a knife and some basic supplies (rope, canteen etc)
On Him: His clothes, pack of smokes, tinder for smoking
Personality: The term strong silent type tends to be a good way to describe Sam. He talks when he needs to and shuts up otherwise. He is truly happy when practicing his two crafts: Blacksmithing and beating people up. Otherwise, it's not that he's not social or anything, he just appreciates the quiet.

Bio: Sam comes from a long line of Blacksmiths, and is well versed in his trade, being the 4th generation. He took over his father's business when dad died of fever, and also took over his father's passion for boxing, and slowly saw the business die. No one really needed him anymore, save for making horseshoes and some repairs. His craft was withering away, and so was his coin. He sold his smithy and went off trying to make it in the fights, but found that those too were few and far between. When he did win, he was happy, but it was a hard life going from fight to fight. He began using his boxing talents to help out various unsavory people with reclaiming owed money or owed lives. He got his nickname from the few times when fists weren't enough, and he had to beat his opponent mercilessly with his smithing hammer.

Record: Countless counts of assault
Murder
Accessory to murder
Theft
Resisting arrest
Assault on an agent of the law

Other: He likes to smoke
