Given Name: Richard Jones Bell

Nickname: These nicknames are taken off of Wanted posters and heard in saloons: Richard The Bell-Ringer, Ricky the Rich, Mister Bell. His own gang refers to him as simply Bell.

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Good guy or bad guy? Explain: Richard Bell was the son of a whore and lived with his mother at the brothel in the Southern States. He became a thief and no good rascal at early age as he stole from clients pockets. When he reached the age and The American Civil War started he quickly signed up to fight. He quickly reached the rank of Corporal thanks to his skill to get the soldiers in line. He lead a unit of Confederate Soldiers into territory controlled by the Union and attacked a small camp which contained free slaves and other refugees. They left the camp in flames and the raped woman hanging from the trees. It was obvious that Richard Bell had no voice in his head who told him not to do something. After the war was over, he found out is mother died of syphilis and was left with nothing. He joined up with a group of former soldiers and headed west.

Position/occupation: He leads a band of outlaws called ''The Bell Gang'' who focuses on robbing and kidnapping for ransom or just for the laughs of it. The name was given to the gang who had gone under the name of ''Red Creek Bandits'' untill Richard Bell came into the picture and got the gang in shape, the former low life thugs into a fearsome gang of murderers and pillagers. Richard renamed the gang after himself, The Bell Gang.

Personality: Richard Bell is ruthless and cold, caring only for the people who can keep up and be of use to him and is boys. His opinion about women is low, probably having something to do with growing up in a Whore House. But even though he's nothing more then a bandit he can still charm people around him. Sure his sense of humour is dirty and shunned by the more religious people around him but if you can take a joke, a swing to the face and a stiff drink he's not too bad to be around in a good mood.

Skills: Bell can handle a revolver and rifle with skill and isn't too bad with a blade. He can also, unlike most of his gang read and write, which is a good thing when you have an ego like him and adore reading your own wanted posters. His gang see him as a Leader and it's true that he got good leader qualities and would have made a fine officer or lawman if he hadn't chosen a life of crime. If he would tell someone his skills he would mention that he can hold his liquer, shoot straight and keep a wench shut.

History: Born to the whore Marie Bell and an unknown customer he lived a life of poverty and petty crimes. He stole money from cliens pants and blackmailed the more cowardly cliens by saying he'd tell their wives if they wouldn't give him tobacco, money or anything in that category. When he became older he took the job as a stable boy and spent the money he earned on one of the girls at the Whore House. Which angered his mother who had done her ''best'' to raise a good son. But to her joy he soon found love in a rancher's daughter, Miranda O'Brian but was quickly chased away and promised to hang from the barn when he was cought in the act by her father. After that he became a doorman at the Whore House and was known to pack a mean punch by the more violent clients. But that wasn't enough for Bell and when the War came he was quick to skip town and join up.

Courting anyone: If you count the local whores then... not really.

Married: He had a girl a long time ago which he left with a kid and empty purse.

Appearance: Bell is about 6'1. He is not that muscular and can't be compared to the ranchers and miners in muscularity but his ego and confidence makes up for the lack of a brutish strenght. His beard is rough and changes in lenght, never really settling in on one style. A pale scar on the right side of his forhead, another one running down from his right eye to his right ear and at last a scar crossing is throat from an ''execution'' with a blunt knife dusturbs the otherwise tanned skin he's gotten from a constant life on the run and outside. His dark blonde hair reaches down to his shoulders and when it's not kept in a small ponytail it's pulled back and held tight by his black wide brim hat. He wears a dark brown duster who drags against the ground when he's walking. Other then that he picks his clothes by the day and they vary in look. Under the shade from the hat is his cold blue eyes that is always looking back at the person catching him/herself staring at the man. When he smile it can be noticed that he's missing one of his bottom front teeth and the one above it is chipped. Probably related to the many ''arguments'' in the Saloon.
