Since I have been agonizing over what direction to go with my character, I would be willing to go Fast Hero/Gunslinger but I thought that someone mentioned doing one earlier in the thread. Bobitron, maybe?

I'll go for the Fast Hero/Gunslinger then. I'll try to have something ready to go later today or tomorrow.

Here's my take on the Sharpe family, Vendetta.
Ethan Sharpe
“Who am I, you ask? Well, sit down and grab yourself a whiskey, and I’ll tell you a tale of the Sharpe family. We emigrated to these United States back in 1830, with my grandfather, Elliot Sharpe, leading the way. He had some money from the coal business back in Old Blighty, but wanted to take a crack at breaking into the colonies. Grandfather made a fortune after he opened a machining business in Boston, making engine parts for the newly founded Cunard line. By 1847, both the Hermann and Washington steamships were providing a transatlantic service regularly, and Sharpe Machine Parts was providing most of the mechanical support on this side of the pond. My Grandfather passed in 1850, leaving the business to my father, Mr. Gerald Sharpe. My father began expanding the business, hooking up with Eli Whitney, Jr. and Samuel Colt to make machinery for the new Colt's Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Co. in Hartford. It might have been the best move my Pa ever made. Old Sam Colt said "There is nothing that can't be produced by machine.", and my family played a little part in making that dream come true. My father doesn’t spend much time in machinery shops anymore. It gets easier to make money when you’ve got money, he always said. He now owns a series of factories up and down the east coast, making everything from tin cans to screw propellers and double-expansion steam engines.
My oldest brother James was born in 1848. Arden followed shortly after, and I came along in 1855. James was always father’s favorite; intelligent and business sharp in a way neither of us will ever be. I doubt Arden will ever have a tough life; he and James have gotten along pretty well. But there has always been a sore point between them. James is due to inherit the Sharpe empire once Father, bless his soul, passes. Seems that Arden has always held a bit of a grudge about that. He’s always been a bit desperate to prove to Father that he’s the equal of James. I don’t know if this plan to head west is really where his answers lie, but it does give me a chance to get out of New England. I was starting to get bored now that I’ve finished school at Yale.”

I bought the soft cover version and paid a pretty penny for it (especially when the bank had dropped $80 in fees on me that I didn't know about leaving me with $3 less than I needed to purchase the book... so I went into the negative and didn't know why... #(*$#@(*&@*#%%^#%$#&*$*#
