The American dream... it's been interpreted by many in different ways. Some claim it is the ticket from rags to riches. Others claim it is simply having the freedom to choose your destiny and find your happiness. People from all over the world came in to experience it amidst its rapid changes through time. Unfortunately, for America, it is a dream that is used at the expense of the poor in favor of the rich. People are manipulated; as their troubles become greater, so does their conflict. People are willing to fight each other to chase their dream, and kill each other to secure it. People will kill each other for gold and riches. They will end one's dream if it means theirs will live on.

It's 1896, and the era of the west has just started to change. Just the year before, Nikola Tesla has introduced his electric generator, and now, the country is experiencing changes in every way, from race relations, to transportation, to communication, and how the law is handled. Some people accept the changes with grace and go with it. However, some refuse to accept it and rebel with unsuppressed violence. In El Paso, Texas, the law remains its unruliest. One such group that takes advantage of this is the Muldoon gang, a group of Irish immigrants and descendants who feel that they were tricked into a false life in attempting to reach the American dream. The gang is head by Gerald Muldoon, an aging man who is still considered one of the sharpest shots in the west. He has terrorized many of the people in Texas, unhinged by the law. Him and his gang have commited robberies, murders, rapes, and destruction. The government has finally had enough, issuing a hefty $10,000 for each member, and $50,000 for Gerald Muldoon dead, as well as a $100,000 reward for bringing him in alive. Some individuals all have their eyes on the prize. They all have different reasons. Some want him for the money... but others have more personal reasons for wanting him. As they all get closer to taking care of the group, the greater the tensions become. Is a man's life worth the money? And is worth killing others for a shot at revenge? Some of them won't have their revelation until it is too late.

Bio:

Name:Daniel Roth
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing at 5'11" weighing 145 lbs, he can be somewhat intimidating at a first glance, although his usual smile tends to calm some people down. At a second glance, people notice he is a rather unkempt individual. He has shaggy black hair, isn't clean shaven, and his clothes are usually covered in dirt from travel on the prairies. He usually wears a pair of denim jeans with a brown leather jacket, covering a black and red flannel shirt. He wears brown leather boots as well.
Personality: A very methodical man, he is very calm and level headed, only acting out when he deems it necessary. He always prefer to avoid conflict when it comes to everyday life When it comes down to business though, he is very straightforward and considerably colder. When confronted by a target, he won't hesitate to shoot him down if he needs to. Even then, he still tries to find away to capture them alive (and despite the higher pay-outs, he makes assurances it's not because of the money).
Profession: Bounty Hunter
Weapons: .44 Colt Single-Action Revolver; Winchester Repeater Rifle; Bowie Knife
Bio: Not much is known about Daniel. He was born the son of German and Irish immigrants in Missouri. Based on his family's history, he is sympathetic to the working class, but had no desire to be a part of it. He picked up a Colt revolver in one of the local gun shops at the age of 15 and began to practice consistently. He was a fast learner and quickly became skilled with it. When he was 20, he moved to El Paso for reasons he prefers to leave unknown. Unfortunately, based on his status, it was hard to really make a mark for himself. Although there are varying stories about when he had his first major "shootout," it's been said that the most accurate tale was that he had shot an outlaw attempting to rob his home. The man was notorious for shooting first and asking questions later. He was also known for having impeccable aim and speed. While rummaging through it, Daniel walked in on him. The man drew his gun, but Daniel outgunned him, shooting him twice in his arm and once in his stomach. Although the man survived, his arm became unusable (according to a doctor that was treating him). From there on, Daniel made a name for himself for being one of the faster local shooters. As time went on though, he continued to train vigorously, training with various handguns and rifles, although he found his niche with the colt revolvers and Winchester repeaters. It was this that made him fall into bounty hunting. It increased his reputation amongst the people (some consider him the unofficial hand of the law) and contenders alike. Although one thing always worried some of the people. He never says why he moved. When asked about it, he always evades it in a rather cold demeanor, showing the people he's hiding something.
