From publisher blurb:
When we think ‘bout the Old West, it’s the loners, hermits, and outcasts that really made it what it was. In the vast world of role-playin’, it’s characters like these that bring stories to life. In Fascinatin’ Characters, you’ll find a unique assembly of 10 individuals, each paged separately for easy printing press setup. Their titles might seem like worn out buckskin, but each one hides a fully fleshed-out person with a distinct personality and a rich past.
I’m Dr. Caleb Sawyer, known as “Doc.” From Alabama, I left after tragedy during the Great Rebellion. Now, I roam the frontier, helping those in need. Despite hardships, I find peace in the wilderness.
I’m Juan Ortega, born on a Mexican ranch. My father taught me the vaquero’s ways. Seeking more, I moved north and became a top horseman and roper. I find peace on the range with my horse, Cielo.
I’m Liang Wu, a prince turned monk. Trained in Kung Fu, I found purpose in the monastery. Now, I wander the West, helping others. Constantly pursued by hunters, my journey is one of redemption and service.
I’m Tommy O’Rourke. Once a miner, I left that life behind for an abandoned mine in the mountains. Now, I live alone, panning for gold and hunting for my supper. I only want to be left alone.
