The year is 1607, in the lovely state of America. At the beginning of the wild west era, everything was new and untouched - sheriffs haven't become a thing, and neither were bandits. Lands were unexplored, a high population of wild and plant life alike. Unaware that change was coming and not a very good one. Endless amount of conflict wherever you go, men becoming lawless and hunted down by corrupted sheriffs with their deputies. Towns, farms, forts, and all other sources of civilization are in the making when the population of humans increases. With more white settlers coming, this creates a conflict with the locals; the Native Americans/Indians. Not to mention; the dispute white Americans are having with each other. Their battles between the good and the bad: Sheriffs Vs. Outlaws.

At the very beginning of the Crimson Riders, a legendary gang that started as nothing, as the years go on, they had a reputable reputation. Depending on whose version of the story you heard, they're either the good guys or the bad guys to the story. No one knows why the gang was created - with the real reason forgotten thanks to many different conspiracies as the years go on. Each gang member had their own stories and legends: some true and some make-believe. The Crimson Riders were feared and respected throughout the Wild West. Even those that work for the law tilt their hats out of respect which rarely happens between them.

You're a nobody, a regular citizen of the US living just an ordinary life. How and why you joined the gang is up to you. Maybe you were bored of being a miner, want vengeance against the law that has done you wrong, or perhaps you're seeking fortune. Whatever the case may be, you decided to join the gang, making allies and foes alike.

Appearance:

Face:

Connor is a relativly handsome young guy. He has very pronounced freatures, the most striking being his light gray eyes. They stand out against his brown eyebrows and darker eyelashes. He has lighter skin, but it often gets tanned slightly from the sun. He does not look very feminine depsite his longer eyelashes, he has a square jawline and a pronounced, yet not very large nose. He has full strawberry blonde eyebrows matching his hair.

He has a deep scar cutting across the corner of his face and down to his jaw. It starts by cutting a piece of his ear off, then swooping down across his cheekbone and then jawline. It is a nice cut and has healed, but left a good sized, very prominant scar. He also has another knife cut that is very faint right across his right eyebrow. You can mostly tell that it is there by a little space in his eyebrow.

Body:

He is very skinny, too skinny. It's not natraul either, he's skinny because he often had to go to without food and still doesn't take much for himself. He stands at 6'4, but will usually appear an inch or two shorter due to him slouching his shoulders much of the time.

Because he is so skinny, you can see every ounce of his muscle. He is a rather musclular person, having an athletic build. He has large broad shoulders and a smaller waist. He has a large scar across his shoulder and another one down his back. He also has some claw scars along his leg and and down his back.

Hair:

He has strawberry blonde hair that is almost always messy. It's short and unkept and constantly having to be shoved back from his eyes when he doesn't have his hat on.

Outfit/Accessories:

Connor wears lighter, faded brown boots on his feet. They are a bit too big on his feet, but he never pays it much mind other than the occasional stumble. He wears old rusted spurs that barely spin on the ends and are usually caked in dirt and along with the bottom of his soles.

His jeans used to be a bright blue denim, but are now so faded that the blue is barely visable anymore. They have many tears in them that have been patched together multiple times by very jaged and and crooked stiching. He wears chaps over his jeans, and they are long enough to touch the sides of his boots.

He wears a black button up shirt. It is once again torn and ripped with the same jagged stitching the jeans have where it has been fixed. He usually wears a raw leather vest over his black top.

He wears a bandana around his neck that is a black color and fades into his shirt color. It is the only thing he has on him that doesn't have any large rips or holes in it.

He wears a short hunter jacket. It hits him about his wasteline. Unlike his other clothing, this jacket's rips and holes have not been patched. It has wolf fur for the collar and the rest is a simple borwn/tan leather.

He wears an old brown cowboy hat that has a few bullet holes through the rim and top. Making his close escapes. It is not fancy at all and is in horrible condition.

Mount/Horse:

Yes, a horse

Weapons:

He wears one singular gunbelt that is just as worn out as his other clothes. It is not fancy at all and looks like it's very old, mostly from lack of care and the actual age. It is a darker chesnut color.

His pistol is a Colt Single Action Army revolver, which holds 6 shots when fully loaded, which it always is. It is a .45 calliber and can do nice quick damage to a target. The gun looks old, some of the metal having chips. The steel is a regular type, nothing fancy. The wood on the handle is starting to crack and split, which is sometimes painful when he holds the gun.

He also has a double barrel shotgun usually strapped to his back. The strap for the gun contrains the shells for the gun for a quick reload. The gun is a sligthly blued steel with a cherry wood stock. Flowers have been engraved in the steel. It is the nicest thing he owns.

Personality:

~Cautious~

Conner is a natraully catious person. He is not one to rush into anything without having a thorough look at it and making sure it is safe or at least concrete on a plan. He also has some trust issuesm not able to let his gaurd down with barely anyone he comes into contact with. He would rather doubt everyone and expect to get hurt or betrayed than to take a chance.

~Reactive~

He is also reactive of things that happent to him. He will react out of self defence and won't hesitate to hurt or harm you if you do anything that he percieves as a threat.

~Patient~

He is very patient. He will be the first to wait something out instead of being impulsive and jumping straight in. He likes to tkae time to carefully plan and doesn't mind waiting to get what he wants. He also is very patient with others around him, giving them second chances and waiting by their side.

~Kind~

He is extremely kind to everyone. He usually is kind of shy and quiet, but that wont keep him from showing kindness to everyone he interacts with. He is natraully very soft and genlte with his approach in things, making him slightly different from other people in the gang.

Nyx

Nickname:

N/A

Age:

18

Gender:

Female || Young Woman

Nationality:

English

Rank:

Recruit

Desired Rank:

Co-Leader

Previous Occupation:

Low-life. Abandonded at a young age, always stealing whatever scraps she could grab ahold of. That changed at the age of 16, where she found a fondness for firearms. She became a popular alley rat.

Appearance:

Standing at 5'6ft tall, and weighing around 120lbs or so, this young woman is a wonderous specimen. Its quite odd how she can keep herself so clean for who she is, but its a miracle she does.

The color of the women's skin is beautifully light-tanned skin but very resistent to sunburns. Her skin is untouched by scars, and the sort, and she doesn't even have a freckle or a mole to show. Her skin is almost flawless, but not everyone can be flawless, now can they? Nyx's figure is soft, not to defined, but defined enough to get some lookers. Her figure is what you may call an "hourglass" figure. Her hair is a dark brunette, whether wet or dry, it is always the same color, and you would think it would be nearly black when wet but no. It can run halfway down her back, somedays oddly, it runs farther, but she keeps it up, tied up in a pony-tail. She rarely lets it down. Besides everthing else, she has unique eye colors, heterochromia. Some are afraid of them, others are fascinated, however those who are fascinated always seem to be creepy about it. What makes her eyes so special? One, the certain colors. Two, the fact they are even different in the first place. Her right eye, is a dark blue, while her left eye is a neon-like yellow, sometimes she wonders if it glows in the sunlight.

Outfit/Accessories:

Being a theif half of your life gives you some perks, especially for fashion. She wears black riding boots, equipped with removable spurs on the back. They are quite bland, besides all the damage to teh bottom, obviously showing they have been through alot. But thats the fascination of it. Being worn down, whether good or bad, shows you have gone through things, but you haven't stopped walking. Unlike other women, Nyx doesn't wear a petty dress, or skirt, no. She wears men's pants, usually black leather, or dark colored fabric. Her topwear, she wears a white undershirt, a black-laced vest, and a black tail-coat. Around her throat, a solid black bandana drapes across her collarbone, loose most of the time, but when used, it becomes xtremley tight. She also likes to use black riding gloves, but she doesn't know how she feels about them for daily life just yet.

Mount/Horse:

Bishop || Horse

Weapons:

Gunbelt - Around her waist, a dirty black leather belt wraps tightly around her hips, able to hold two firearms, and knives.

Firearms - Two pistols are holstered within the belt, while a 20 guage shotgun is swung over her shoulder on a leather rope.

Knives - Oh doesn't she love her knives... the knives are stored into slits on her belt, 5-7 are shown, but more are hidden within her coat as if she were a magician. Which, she isn't, she just likes the feeling of a deadly weapon hidden within her coat.

Personality:

Nyx is a- well... special woman-

Basics:

Firm || Intimidating || Aggressive || Quick-Minded || Stern || Not very Cooperative || Attitude Issue || Upstander || Simply Doesn't Care

First off. Word of the wise. Please, please, do not antagonize this woman. Yes, she is 18, still a teenager, but please, just do not. She doesn't mess around, she gets right down to buisness. She attacks with no thought, no remorse, no guilt. None of that matters to her, not really. If your doing one of these things; attacking/harming a loved one, antagonizing her, making fun of her. Your a goner for sure. You see, she is protective over the few things she cares about, and she holds them close, and will protect them to any cost even if it means sacrificing her own life. Maybe. Depending on the person. Anywho. Nyx is an overall over protective, aggressive woman, so please, just for your own sake, don't temp her.

Not. Loyal. To. Strangers. Get this through your head before you tell her to do something. She may lie, and 'do' what you told her to do, but in all reality, she is secretly stabbing you in the back with no warning, stabbing you slowly, watching you burn in pain and agony. She will never do what youw ant her to do unless its in dire circumstances. Say, if her sibling or loved one has a knife to their throat and she couldn't get to them in time to strike, so then, maybe, she'd do what you want. Again, depending on how much she loves that person. But if you have no leverage to bribe/blackmail her with, you will surely be tricked into your own trap. Thats just how she is. Don't take it tooo personally.

Apperance:

TigressStocks @ DA || TigressStocks@DA

Standing at 16.3hh, weighing 1,152lbs, Bishop is an average sized stallion of his particular breed. His body figure is very defined, in the sense that most every muscle in his body is visible. Including his haunches, shoulders, chest, and neck. He is a rather bulky, but can still manuever as well as a small, lean horse. His hooves are a midnight black, but unfortunately, are always coated in either dirt, or mud, making his hooves more brown then anything.

Bishop's coat is one of the top reasons why he is so attractive. He has buckskin-colored splotches around his body, mainly surrounding his barrel, chest, and head. Around his entire body, it is coated with a white blanket, covering up any other color that may reside within his color genes. Along with his coat color, his mane and tail are just beautiful. They are not to die for, but he takes pride in his beauty. His mane is white, all along his neck but as it nears his poll, it turns into an obsidian black. His tail however, is white halfway on top, but underneath the way, is black that creaps downwards, expressing itself halfway, blanketing the rest. And finally, his eyes. He has two Dark Hazel eyes.

Gaits for horses always depend on the horse, whether choppy or smooth, all depends on the horse. Bishop, has a nice, smooth trot, and canter. His gallop however- he is a rather bulky horse, and needs a little more power then most to get himself going. Lets just say.. its not smooth- it sounds and looks like a demonic creature is running staright at you, wanting to kill you. His hooves are not big, but always manage to make a thundering noise when he goes into full gallop.

Personality

Aggressive, and trusts no one but his owner and her beloved sister. He belongs to no one but her, and is loyal, and honest working for her and only her. Dare to harm her, and you will feel the wrath of his hooves.

Weighing nearly 70lbs, reaching almost 28inches tall, this odd Dutch Shepherd has one of the more beautiful coats of the breed. The breed consists of a few different colors, but hers is a particular dark brown with black brindle stripes. She is on the darker side of the color scale, almost barely visible on the darkest of nights. Her coat is actually useful in the wild, she can blend in with nature during late fall, early spring. Unfortunately, she sticks out in Winter and Summer. But otherwise, she blends in quite well, and uses that advantage very wisely.

Having a short-haired coat year round can be difficult, but it does have some bright sides. It never matts, it is easy to clean, easy to manage, and, short-haired coats looks gorgeous just in general.

The eyes of a true wild beast are the most exotic, it has been said if you stare into a wild beasts eyes, you can almost see their future. HA nope. Not Zaphora. Her eyes are a dull auburn, a firey-like color in bright sunshine, dull in the darkness. Her eyes are not special or unique, but when she is having strong emotion.. her eyes tend to stare into your soul, finding a way to rip your soul out without you knowing.
