Joshua Hambrick's gear

GEAR
(note—he basically carries everything he owns on person or in saddlebags):
trail clothes, black suit (1 worn, 1 in bedroll, depending)
horse w/appropriate tack & saddlebags
Bible
pocket knife
pocket watch
pair of revolvers w/ammo (usually kept in saddlebags, for trail meat—honest)
pen & ink set w/some paper for outlining sermons
small set of leather repair tools
coil of rope
telescope
bedroll, canteen, matches, & other basic survival gear

To Wulf: Since Joshua is a circuit rider, he would definitely have a horse. However, if the horse is too much trouble to integrate with the others, perhaps the horse recently died and Joshua is wandering on foot with only his saddlebags, bedroll, etc.

 

[Fenris]

Joshua Hambrick grew up in Appalachia, the son of a well-to-do family of horse breeders. Restless, he went off to war as a mounted scout. Disillusioned after the war, he went to a seminary, rejected his birthright, and is now a humble, circuit-riding preacher. (Note, I envision a Civil War vet, but any 19th century war will do: 1812, Texas, Civil, Indians, Spanish-American).

I think John Haskins has found the yin to his yang Nice character Solomoncane, I think our characters will complement each other well.

I agree. It sounds like John revels in his soldiery while Joshua is troubled by his. He may try to "enlighten" John.

I just noticed the name similarity of the characters (John Haskins, Josh Hambrick). This was a coinidence. Do you want to keep as such for irony or would you prefer that I change my character's name?
Either way is ok by me.

You're lucky I am an Eastwood fan, otherwise this would be cheating.

The feat for your pistols is "Personal Firearms Proficiency."

You can probably have a horse, but I don't know if it will be "your" horse, if you know what I mean. It will kind of depend on where I set the opening act.

 

[Old One]

OK...

I think I am done fidgeting around w/ Brigetta. A couple of other changes (all noted in the EDIT section). Gear is up...subject to Wulf's approval. I really shouldn't do this without books...makes me forget all types of stuff.

Major impact on Heal, since Savant doesn't work for that ...but I think everything else is now correct.

Looks like we have quite the Moldy...er, Motley...Crew !

Re Eastwood fan: Who isnt?

Re feat: thanks, I'll edit.

Re horse: whatever works. I'm not looking for an advantage, just a character concept.

I also need to buy skills.

John may have to "corrupt" Joshua. This will be fun.

The name similarity is very funny. Let's leave them. John and Josh will be the dynamic duo here.

William T. Brown
“Bill Brown”

An ex-lawman out of Texas, Bill Brown is a rough character with a strange sense of honor. While in service to the government, he earned a reputation for getting the job done...even if he had to do some things that are "not in the book" as he describes them.

Since his departure, Bill has made a "living" if you can call it that, from his ever-growing addiction to gambling.
