FR Got sucked into this thread. Having fun. Came up with my character. Got to page eight, seeing if it got taken. Not so far, but DAMN this thread keeps stretchin. (Like the railway across the praries). I wanna be the greedy cattle rancher. (Translation: average capitalist; entrepreneur spun as the bad guy) He has the nicest house, all the money and the land. He hires the gunslingers. Hes gonna get the water rights...or the railway land deal...or whatever mcguffin is in the script. He has a housekeeper or cook. You KNOW hes doin her. He has the pretty blond daughter (well at least they both SAY she is his daughter; heads off the gossip) He controls the sheriff and even (gulps at idea) Judge LaT (Easy, judge. Only with lotsa cash. And promises to back your play for Governor when you are ready to run.) Could be makin a play for the school marm. You realize he would undo that bun right quick. Probably the silent majority partner in the brothel & saloon. Can have the girls up to his ranch, several at a time, for private engagements. Owns property in town. (Whats that, my dear? You say you cant pay the rent? Well, perhaps we can come to some...aRANGEment ^twirls moustache and leers^. What would you say to a little -fate worse than death- action? Foiled by the hero in the final half hour, you say? Fiddlesticks. Have you read a history book? Big Money trumps a white hat.
