That simply further demonstrates your lack of intellegence in the One-Writer story realm. Do you realize how much it takes to make a chapter seem worth a crap for a perfectionist? Dealing with a large amount of detail and aggression towards imperfection can hinder a storys development to only two or three chapters a week at times. I'm not willing to screw up, and I certainly want to be able to post my hard earned work on the forum if I feel like doing so. I will however, go back and edit the page so that each character is in a spoiler. If that doesn't satisfy you then release your dragon from its pouch and I will have Hellstromm come along soon enough with a dark sacrificial blade of forgiveness.
Looks like I have to do this myself. Here's my version, modifying Dave's a little. There!!!

l
Name: James Travis West
Nicknames: James, Colonel, Travis, James West, Colonel West | The Old Man
Age: 32 | 58
D.O.D. 1941
Race: Human, Irish-American
Gender: Male
Appearance: James is a very serious man, with a no bull attitude. The pain and anger in his life keeps him a state of sadness and loathing, which he hides greatly. He has a goatee, with an elegant moustache. He keeps his hair well parted most of the time in formality, but he doesn't require himself to be attractive and well-looking all the time, only when around superior commanders and beautiful women. He wears gray clothing to symbolize his affiliation with the Confederacy.
| James looks like an old man who’s seen his fair share of death and war. His hair has grayed from its brown tinge. He is all business and takes crap from no one as always. His past seems behind him, yet it still is plain when he recollects his life at times. He still holds his elegant moustache, but he has allowed his goatee to transform into a short beard which he often trims. Sometimes he simply shaves his beard. He let his hair grow out a little bit into a short pony-tail, which he keeps in line. Even at his old age, he still is a handsome man, and sometimes even beats the younger when it comes to women. His face shows his years, yet he is still the old fighting spirit he once was.
Body Color: White
Hair Color: Brown
| Grayish Brown
Eye Color: Blue Green
| Gray
Equipment: Colt Army Model 1860, 1860 Officers Saber
| Colt Bisley 1895 (Modified Peacemaker) and a Colt M1889 (M92) backup, A Winchester 1894, a buck knife, and an 1860 Officers Saber, among various other equipment. He also carries a sawn-off Colt 1878 Coach Gun.
Profession: Confederacy Colonel
| Bounty Hunter/Hired Gun/Marshal/Professional Gambler
Personality: A tough man who's seen more than his fair share of death. He was fine with being a regular infantry or cavalrymen, but Stonewall Jackson would hear none of it. He personally picked James as a colonel to aid him, which the Union says was to hide the fact that the Confederacy needed officers. Stonewall, even to his death, and James' friends denied these accusations and rumors. He hides his anger and sadness under a cocky, happy and funny attitude, which is influenced by his drinking habits. Women find him to be strong-willed and an amazing lover.
| As an old man James is still as powerful as he was during the war. He still has the take-no-crap personality, and he is less troubled by his past. Many men his age are frail, or dead. However, he is not like most men. He is still a fighter, and does not hesitate to kill any who cross his path. He seems happier and more cheerful, playing happier tunes on his banjo and harmonica then when he was in the army. He still is a gentleman as always, and most women still find him a great lover and seducer even for being an older man.
Often Seen: With his regiment or commanding officers. On the battlefield. Local saloons, if any. Seen chatting up many women.
| In saloons. His home and estate in Texas. Out riding his horse on the job in the Wild, Wild West. Jail cells. Marshal's offices.
Most known for: His courageous efforts to promote the Confederate cause. He seduced many women, before and after his wife's death.
| His work as a bounty hunter and a marshal. However, deep inside, he was always Colonel James West of the Confederate Army. He visited the North from time to time, but mostly chose to stay in the New England area or down south in Texas. Two of his children followed him as a protector of the peace and become gun men and mercenaries for companies out in the West. James is known for his expertise in military tactics, employing a "Hammer and Anvil" tactic during the First Battle of Bull Run.
Favorite Food: James enjoys a good dish of steak complemented with potato, a fine drink of Coffee or Whiskey, and cake or death on the side.
Favorite Color: The darker colors in life. He prefers grey with gold trim as his official uniform. l As he grew older, he stuck to darker colors to hide himself during ambushes, but preferred the color none the less. He kept to black, blood red, and dark brown clothing.
hmy: Kevin Costner will be someone else!!! Or at around 57 if you want him to... It's pretty hard for a guy that age (50's) to get any girl really, and in western times it'd still be rather hard. Besides, I needs a civil war officer veteran in my story, James is the only badass who can fit it appropriately.
