Paintbrush -- Character List and Discussion

[Vergere 1]

Name: Annie Hancock

Age: 25

Occupation: Local Rancher

Appearance: Shoulder-length brown hair, always tied back into a ponytail. Her face is covered in freckles from being out in the sun all the time, as is her tanned skin. She wears a simple cotton shirt, jeans, boots, chaps, and a cowboy hat almost everywhere she goes. She has very toned muscles but is slim, and makes no attempt to look nice, unlike Ellie Mae. She'd prefer to be comfortable than pretty.

Personality: Cynical and sarcastic, she has a rather negative view of outsiders. She loves listening to conversation and has a sharp, if not stinging, wit, and is known to get into fights. However, she's much more comfortable around cattle and horses than most people. She once was rather sweet, but now is a much more callous woman on whom a harsh life has taken its toll. This being said, if people can befriend her, she's not nearly as callous and harsh as she tries to be. She tens to keep her cynicsm to outsiders and travellers, and doesn't like to irritate townsfolk she sees often.

Background: Having grown up as a rancher's daughter, she learned the ways of cattle ranching from him. When he passed away from illness, her older brother had taken the ranch, and she'd become a working partner with him. Then, only two years ago, he was injured and died of infection, leaving Annie the one in charge of the ranch.

No, the railroad is a fine idea. I just hadn't thought about it before.

Here's my thoughts: I would rather it would be either not there quite yet or maybe just halfway done.

I don't think I want there to be a finished railway station quite yet, as that would make Paintbrush a bigger town that it is right now, lol.

So maybe the railway is still a few miles away and the station has yet to be built in Paintbrush. Something like that.

Would that help you?

That's fine. I shall come up with a second character. yay

This is making me realize how incredibily lazy I am at the moment...

[Mara 29]

All righties...

I'll be adding in the characters to the main list as well, for ease.

I put Rover in with Roland's character, as I won't be counting animals/pets as an individual character.

And edit in the railway to the first post.

So, like... it has started.

Let me know if you ever change your profiles, so I can change the second post/character list.

Okay, thankies.

[Andy 60]

When I get chance I'll post.

You didn't give him a good enough chance.

:p

[Andy 60]

Sorrrrrry! I have been extremely busy! I have been working on a post, just not finished it yet. :(

[Joclad Danva 0]

Work faster then!

I'm waiting to read some other posts in the rpg thread.

[Andy 60]

Sorry. :(

[Mara 29]

Take your time.

In the meantime, we could use more characters... *hint*.

[Joclad Danva 0]

Almost been a month now without any new posts in the rpg thread. (and I'm waiting myself, because this isn't supposed to be a one man story).

[Mara 29]

Mmhmm....

I'll see if I can work up a post later, just to keep things moving.

[Andy 60]

Apologies for the worst post ever.

[Mara 29]

No worries.

[Mara 29]

Hmm... I think in order to get this moving, we need more characters.

So post up some bios, peoples!

And I think I'm gonna add in a character, myself. Maybe for the general store.

[Mara 29]

Remember, you can have up to 3 characters, if you want! : )
