Thanks for showing interest, you can now start making characters! If we don't get many more people then I may allow secondary characters (this would also probably weaken 'plot armor', life wasn't easy or safe then) but for now just do one.
Feel free to code it up if you wish.
[Edit: the RP will probably begin sometime between late March-early April 1865, so the war is still going on but will end in the near future just for clarification]
Name:
Gender*:
Age*:
Appearance: (realistic pictures welcome, does not have to be a photo from the period but that would be fine)
Personality: (you can include likes/dislikes here)
Hometown and State:
History/backstory:
Motives: Why banditry. Fears? Hopes? Escaped POW? Don't want to go back to the penal battalion? (thanks to Wrathsful for that idea; feel free to use it).
Skills: anything gained from pre-war job experience, activities, hobbies, or army experience that could help the gang in and out of combat.
Main Gang Role: based on their skills. Ideas include: tracker, sharpshooter, swindler/smoothtalker, doctor, muscleman/intimidator, etc. Feel free to take one of these or come up with your own.
Secondary Role: not as good at it, but decent enough, especially in a pinch
Inventory:
Weapons: you'll start off with 1 weapon, probably whatever you've been fighting the war with, but we'll start out with an opportunity to plunder weaps and supplies.
* The historical record says that your character would probably be a white male between 18-39. However I can't ignore that it also shows up to 20% of soldiers in the ACW were under 18, and there were a few females who snuck into the ranks. I'm not sure if one such female would run off with a gang of male bandits...but I suppose if one of you wants a female, or younger character, it would have some historical basis.
