"When a man's got money in his pocket, he begins to appreciate peace"
Life in West Equestria's states has never been easy. Bandits, rustlers, pestilence, famine and the slow, but steady approach of 'civilisation' has made many pack their bags and leave. But those who stay are some of the hardiest of souls.
But with the longest drought in the last 300 years, and gang territory and numbers swelling full of ex farmers trying to earn money for their families, the law is strained and ponies are taking it into their own hands.
Or shooting people dead over the smallest issues and taking their money.
If it wasn't for the aforementioned approach of modern civilisation, it's likely the west would be little more than a cesspool of darwinism and gunfights.
Still, you gotta earn your keep some way. Maybe crime does pay.
Rules
1. Treat bullet wounds seriously. These ponies are more hardy, but if a bullet, even a small wound in the hoof could still become infected. I'm not saying your character will die instantaneously from pretty much everything, just don't get silly.
2. Tech is sort of around the start of world war 1 thanks to magic, but most of it isn't used in the area this rp is set.
3. If your character is higher class, they might own a more advanced weapon, but potentially don't have much training in the use of it. If your character is a member of law enforcement, this may not apply. Use your initiative.
4. Try to use real world gun names. Feel free to have customized versions of guns, or use a more specific gun type (rather than "revolver" put "double-action revolver", or something like that) if you can't use real world names. I'll also allow made up weaponry as long as it seems sensible with the tech here.
The general RP rules still apply. If you don't know what they are, read em you daft ninny.

Name: Annabelle Damascus (goes by the name Dann Westings)
Gender: Despite appearances, is actually female.
Race: Earth pony
Appearance: ![]()
Personality: Beneath a rough, angry outer shell, Annabelle is... also, angry and rough inside, but is more willing to talk and insults people a whole lot less. Despite her less than amiable traits, she manages to be quite fun outside of missions and less serious antics. Is quite conscious about her appearance, hence her alter ego.
Occupation: Former Rancher, currently a bounty hunter
Bio: Born as the sister among a family of brothers, Annabelle has always had to live with being teased, both about her stallion-like personality, and her stallion-like appearance. She stopped caring a long time ago, but still thinks she needs to act like a man to keep her feelings about the death of most of her brothers and her father inside. The few family members still with her are her highest priority, and she would die before any of them.
Starting weaponry: Remains of family heirloom blunderbuss heavily modified to fire phosphorous slugs, shells and random crap shoved inside. Duel colt navy 1861s
If you join, thanks!
If not, I may have to eat your eyeballs and deliver an angry lecture to their sockets.
