Background Information –
Dakota Turnbow was born on 12 December 1852 in Independence, Missouri and moved with his family to Sioux City, Iowa in 1854. His father Fletcher was a horse trader while his mother Elizabeth, a former schoolmarm, took care of Dakota and his older sisters Louise and Isabelle.
From an early age Dakota helped his father with the family business, accompanying him on trips to the frontier forts and the various Indian agencies for whom Fletcher provided horses. By the time he was in his late teens, Dakota’s skill as a rider and wrangler were widely-known, and when he received an offer to help drive a herd from Texas to Montana he couldn’t turn it down. For several years Dakota brought cattle north from the southern prairies during the summer months and worked as a line rider during the winter months. The life of a horse trader was firmly put behind him by the wanderlust he inherited on the prairies.
Dakota is of average height and build – many have underestimated the cowhand’s hardiness due to his unassuming appearance, to their later chagrin, as there are few tougher wranglers in the saddle than he. His hair is the color of corn silk, like his mother and sisters; it’s worn short and he is clean-shaven. Dakota dresses simply, without frills, aside from a pair of fancy tooled leather Mexican cowboy boots picked up in Texas – he is thrifty, preferring to save his small salary and money he makes buying a few head of cattle each year at the beginning of the drive, instead of gambling, drinking, and whoring it away like most of the other cowpokes.
Dakota has a good singing voice, a skill honed over countless starry nights tending the herd on the plains. Like many wranglers, Dakota views townsfolk with amusement, dislikes sodbusters, and despises rustlers, horse thieves, and sheepherders.
With Cool in the Saddle Dakota gets an automatic 30 for any Ride checks...
Edit: Added the APs as directed. I made a few small changes to the character sheet but nothing significant, mostly fleshing out some details - I think this is pretty much final, and I'll post it in the Rogues Gallery thread when it's up.
Hope this is what the good Marshal has in mind...

I'd love to take the fast-talker, but I don't have my book yet. 
Amazon says it might not ship until next week.
Amazon says it might not ship until next week.Thanks for holding a slot open for me. I tend to play the scout in most games these days, so to try something different I'll take on the fast hero/gunslinger. I'll get a character concept done in a few days, but I anticiapte he will be Fast 4/Gunslinger 4. That may change slightly as I work out the details.
I'll work on the wit, as well.

Everything looks great, Shaman. In fact, it would be great if everyone can use his post as a template for how each character is submitted, it will make it easier to keep track of things on my side if everyone's looks similar.
Sorry about my slip there, action points should also be 3/4 of maximum, rounding up.

Ahh yes, the dreaded "projected ship date". That's one of the reasons I love buying the pdf's.
I would hate to count you out for not having the book yet, so as long as you can get your character up quickly once you get the book, you're in. I assume you will want Charismatic, so I'll give you that slot.

Well, that leaves Committed Hero and hobbit killer. Killer, you expressed interest in the bounty hunter, so I will pencil you in. You two need to choose if you would rather start as a Strong or Dedicated hero.
Committed, that leaves the Indian scout for you, if you would still like to play.
The first person to reply gets first pick of class. It seems as though Strong = Bounty hunter and Dedicated = Scout, but I don't want to railroad you guys any more than I already have.
