• EDUCATION & OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY:
Education

• King's College, Aberdeen [Chemistry] (1884-1888)

Occupation

• Student (1876-1888)
• Catholic Deacon (1888-1895)
• Cigar Maker's apprentice (1896-1901)
• Miner (1902-1913)
• Californian Aerial Conscript (1914-1920)
• Prospector (1920-Present)

• HOMETOWN: Glasgow, Scotland

• STARTING GEAR:

• Remington Model 12 Trench Gun
• Scottish Claymore
• 42 Half pound sticks of Dynamite
• Ronson Wonderlite
• Pilot's hat and goggles
• 26 Gurka Warlord Double Corona Cigars.

• SKILLS AND TRADECRAFT: Henderson was born in Glasgow Scotland in 1876, that's where normalcy flew out the window. His parents didn't want him, so they left him outside a nunnery hoping that he didn't get stabbed by a drunkard. At this point Henderson started his slippery slope into borderline insanity. Being raised in a strict nunnery was not good for the child, and being taught in the same catholic school until the age of 17 didn't help.

When he finally left formal education he was pressured into becoming a Deacon, which he didn't like... at all. He put up with it for about seven years before hopping the next boat the the US. It was in Massachusetts that he found a job at a cigar makers and spent the next five years doing such a job with mild curiosity, it was here he developed a mild tobacco addiction and gained the very valuable skill of being able to roll perfect cylinders. A skill he prolifically used in following years when he heard of the Gold Rush on the west coast. So he hopped a train and fled to California to make bank and hopefully buy a decent house. It was here he became an ordinance technician and set up rock walls and tunnels to explode hoping to reveal precious metal. He was also the only person unhinged enough to work with abundant amounts of nitroglycerin required to make dynamite. It was here he made a living for quite some time, actually striking gold with his fellows a few times, but mostly finding silver, copper, iron and the occasional fossil.

Eventually the Great War broke out and like so many others he was conscripted. Fortunately he was tasked with a relatively safe role, unfortunately it was a few hundred feet into the air. Fortunately there was room in the plane for a sack of dynamite. So that was his new job, fly a few hundred pounds of wood and canvas through a backwards rain of lead, carrying a sack of long fused dynamite, while ferrying a sixteen year old kid in the back seat so could take pictures of the enemy positions while Henderson tried in vain to remain steady without dying. Needless to say he came close to dying many times.

Eventually he said 'Bollocks tae 'at jobby.' and went AWOL, and 'Landed' his plane in Northern Idaho. Near Silver Valley. It was here he became an independent Silver prospector, before eventually roaming south into what would normally be Wyoming.
• PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Round face, Bushy beard, long hair, tall (6'6/198 cm) heavy set (215 lbs/96 kg), distinct Scottish accent.

To anyone who may be unaware of what to do, essentially just have your character head towards the city center, if you'd like to RP the soldier/official telling your character where to go that's fine with me.

• NAME: Vincent Allen Richards
• PROFESSION: Historian/Author
• NATIONALITY: Idahoan
• GENDER: Male

• AGE & DATE OF BIRTH: 27 DOB: September 12, 1898
• EDUCATION & OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY: Not much in the way of formal education, but Vincent is extremely well read. He's worked a number of odd-jobs but never managed to settle down in one place.
• HOMETOWN: Not a town per se, but a cabin in Northern Idaho.

• STARTING GEAR:
-Journal and writing utensils
-M1911 Pistol, with only a few dozen rounds of ammunition.
-Canteen
-Scarf
-Maps
-A few books he's managed to purchase over the years. Mainly history, but some deal with more practical things, such as military tactics and medicine.
• SKILLS AND TRADECRAFT:
-Diplomatic
-Charismatic
-Well-Read and a Quick Learner
-Relatively Strong
-Map Reading
-Speaks English, French, some Spanish, and some German.
• PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Vincent is around 5'10 and has a very bookish face. His blue eyes are covered by a pair of wire-rimmed glasses. He has red-brown hair. He is also rather muscular, but not overly so. Just enough to be considered strong. He does have poor vision, however, and a bum leg.
• BIOGRAPHY AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vincent was born to a mother he'd never known and a father he wish he hadn't. Beaten almost daily, generally for extremely trivial things. One time he was beaten for leaving a stew pot on for too long. Another time it was simply because he never brought his father liquor fast enough. His only escape ended up being the few books he'd managed to find in an abandoned cabin a few miles away from his own. From there he was able to travel back into a world all its own. When he turned 16, he gathered his books and all the food and clothing he could carry and left his sad little cabin.

From there he traveled across Idaho, doing odd jobs and staying in inns, sometimes even on the street. From town to town he bounced, never settling down, and always acquiring new knowledge. When he was 24, Vincent ran into his first bit of trouble. In some backwater town of which he never learned the name, a man dressed in tattered fatigues pulled a gun on him. It wasn't something he was prepared for, an all Vincent had to fight him off with was a small hunting knife. A bullet in his leg later, the knife was plunged into the attacker's throat.

The local sheriff took him in, and a doctor patched him up. He managed to talk his way out of a jail sentence, even being allowed to keep the pistol. From there he trained and trained, managing to become a rather decent shot. The next two years saw many more travels and much more knowledge learned.

Only Issue is that the characters start in a town called Rock Springs in Wyoming, not in New York or any other place, else it looks good.

[Rygondria]

Is possible to make a character in the Louisiana Nation.

Is possible to make a character in the Louisiana Nation.

You may make a character from Louisiana, though the starting location is set to encourage character interaction.

Of course they will be moved out of the town and around the front soon.
