Dear Reader,

The infamous James West. Colonel of the Confederacy. Bounty Hunter. Killer. Lover. Ahhh I could go on and on about Mr. West. But, I don't need to. You know about him as much as I do right? Either way, you have a reason for reading this letter. I'm in need of your talents. See, I need Mr. West for a job. He is the best trained killer in the West am I right?

Anyways, you know him better than I. And you can get in contact with him without getting your face blown off. I need West for a job, and I need you to bring him back for me. The reward for doing this? $10,000. You however, are not the only one looking for Mr. West. Your just one of a couple. Expect a few gunfights along the way. His last known location was Greywater, Texas. It's down by Austin near the lake of Grey Lake. And please, bring him back alive. Unconscious, if need by, but please, don't kill him. Good luck on the hunt.

- Mr. Phillips

Year: 1901

Name: David Johnder
Age: 39
Personality: David Johnder is a ruthless, cunning individual who served as a young lieutenant in the cavalry during the Indian wars. He himself was a cruel, cruel man, criticized for his harsh ways of getting things done.
Appearance: A grim manner of dress, he wears a black coat with riding boots to match. He wears a Black Stetson and sometimes wears gloves to help with holding his aim tight. He is around six foot tall, and he weighs 200 pounds.
Weapons: Winchester 94', C-96, Dragoon .45

Background: David had a respect for the Confederate Colonel growing up, his father (who served in the confederacy as a sharpshooter in James' own unit) managed to, as he claimed, save him from a bullet from a Union Henry rifle marksman. He tought David how to shoot a pistol, and started him off with a Dragoon revolver, which was one of the first ones to be converted for .45 Colt ammunition. His father eventually married a new woman who had her own children; three daughters named Maryland, California, and River, River was the one closest to Davids age. She and David became quick friends and he taught her how to shoot a gun. After many years of drink, his father passed away when he turned 15, and he had to take care of his step-sisters and step-mother shortly afterwards. He had never known his real mother, some say that his father just left her because she was too cruel, some say she was abused by bears, some say she left him to work at a prostitute house in Mexico, but many myths circulate. By age 17, David found out a disturbing fact about one of his sisters loved him, she was planning to marry him. Out of rejection, he fled the ranch and left the family to fend for themselves as he took the only rifle and his Dragoon and fled to join the military to 'cleanse' the plains of savages.
By age 23, David was serving as a Lieutenant for a Cavalry regiment, and he himself cordinated multiple attacks on native villages, preaching the word of god as the way he attained victory. Gradually, the immense hatred that others held toward the natives got to him, installed by the rantings and support of his fellow soldiers, and he became an animal. No person was safe, he became a cruel drunk, beating people without reason, and throwing prostitutes in saloons into closets after he had 'freebies' with them. Some say he came across his own mother and tossed her from the balcony, but the truth was even more unsettling. David never did find his mother, but who he did find was the step sister, River, who had been in love with him so many years back. She told them news of their home, and blamed him for what had happened. Indians in retaliation to attacks on villages destroyed the home, killed the livestock, and slaughtered everyone within a 10 mile radius of the place, with her as the exception. She did not want to talk about what they did, she only told him that the blame was on his shoulders.
For ten more years, David served as a soldier, meaner and more bold by every minute. Soon, he found a woman he loved, married her, and had four children. She soon left him, feeling that his cruelty was too much to bare.
On Davids 35th birth day, he tried to commit suicide. The noose he had made snapped and he fell ten feet from a tree in back of his house onto a riderless horse that had been passing by, a lone boot in the spur. The horse reared up as he struggled to hold on, and it bursted to a start and for a quarter of a mile he held on, Soon, the horse came to a stop, and he righted himself in the saddle, finding a Winchester 94' rifle in the scabboard. With pride, he pulled it out and looked at the stock, fresh blood stains were seeped across the wood, and then he noticed the boot in the sturrup. A mans foot sat inside.
On David's 39th birthday, he purchased a Mauser C-96, as he had recieved the letter.

Name: Rick "Beefy" Johnson
Age: 26
Personality: A smart, sly, and cunning man who often uses trickery to get what he wants. If he doesn't get it they see why they call him beefy. His large muscles often proved good in fights but he was very fond of his gun too. People often said he would kill his mother for the right price.
Appearance: Tall man around six foot with arms that don't make him seem even close to as strong as he is. He often where's black gloves and black pants to match. Also a red shirt that shows off his muscles. Weighs around 190lbs.
Weapons: Fists, a small Peacemaker, and a dagger for stealth jobs.
Background: No one knows much but here is the best that everyone knows about him. At age 13 he stole his fathers Peacemaker. (The same one he still carries today.) And ran away from home. Over the years he managed to get into the army. After completing training camp to hone his gun skills he disappeared only to pop up in Texas where he advertised himself as a Bounty Hunter. Sometimes working secretly for towns to get back escaped criminals. (Which he himself sometimes helped escape so he could hunt them.) And occasionally working the other side of the law by taking out cops of other bounty hunters that were after them. No one knows much else about him except that one year he went away and disappeared and didn't turn up for six months to this day no one knows where he went.
Affliction to James West: Once worked with him when hunting down a band of criminals for the towns mayor. At first hated each other but then start to warm on each other. When James was shot instead of chasing the criminals he saved James. To this day James is his only friend.

Name: James Travis West

Age: 62

Personality: 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 than he was back durin the Civil War. He still is a gentleman as always.

Appearance: James has decided to fit in with the ground these days. He's traded in his uniform and his black trench coats for a simple white button-down, a pair of black denim pants, a brown trench coat, and a satchel bag. He still carrys his pistols at his side and his Winchester on his back. He has also shaven the goatee, and now hides his face under his black hat. With his new clean shaven face, peopel tend to see the scars James' has on his face, which were not as noticeable as they were before.

Weapons: 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.

Background: James West is a living relic of the Old West. He fought in the great American Civil War as a colonel and aid to the also great Stonewall Jackson. After the war ended, he became a bounty hunter. On occassion, he was hired out as a marshal for a couple of years, but the badge never suited James. James, on his travels, became a friend of the Navajo and Apache Indian tribes, as one of the few white men to gain their respect. James, in fact, was married to his second wife, a Navajo Indian named Kai, which means "willow tree". He had three children with her, two who became marshals in Texas who were known as "The Sons of the West". She died a year back from a bad case of pneumonia. James now travels the West again, bringing with him his third child and his baby girl, Miranda West.
