I'll give it a go...
Name: Elizabeth Walker
Age: 18
Appearance: Fair, clear skin, ash blonde hair, petite frame. Ice blue eyes. Wears the traditional tone of clothes that people wore back then, big dresses, hair in ringlets, bonnets, sun parasoles - the works.
Background: Born into a privelidged family in Britain and always led a life of luxury surrounded by small minded rich people. Her father has bought an extensive mining lease in California and has moved there to oversee it and of course she and her mother and two brothers have moved with him.
Skills: Cross-stitch, knitting, tapestry weaving and painting... traditional lady-like past-times. She is well educated but she has spirit and has always sought something more out of life. She is bored stupid with her own and is looking forward to the new life in America as something interesting and new.

*Ahhhh you stole my character! Okay, time to think of something else.* Name: Suzy 'Blue' Higgins Age: 17 Appearance: Fair skin that's often smudged with dirt or soot, dark hair that's cut short and tied back in a ponytail. Very blue eyes - hence her nickname 'Blue'. Wears grey dress, black boots, white pinafore/apron and plain white maid's bonnet. Lean frame and calloused hands due to undernourishment and constant hard work. Background: Born to servants of Lord Thomas Edding, she grew up living a life of hard work. Her parents died young of illness, but Suzy was kept on as a maid to Lord Thomas's daughter. Lord Thomas has brought his son and daughter with him to California, with only a few servants, but his daughter refused to come without Suzy. Skills: Cooking, cleaning, dressing rich ladies and doing their hair, mending and darning ... all those maid skills, as well as being able to fight of men who take a fancy to her  . She has a lively and vivacious spirit, which is what endeared her to Lord Thomas's daughter, but a life-hardened, no nonsense attitude. She is fully aware of how little she can expect to get out of life, but still looks forward to any adventures America might bring. |

Name: Orion Talbot
Age: 23
Appearance: tall, lean and wind-weathered. Sharp dark eyes, that can be soft and gently humerous. Easy smile and fairly even teeth. He has a small scar on his cheekbone. Dark, wavy hair. Strong, lean hands, calloused with work.
Clothing: Grey cotton shirt tucked into black jeans, black vest. Brand-new, black, hand-tooled leather boots and silver California-style spurs. Black hat with a braided, black leather band. Black leather holster and a pistol with a carefully polished but worn black walnut grip.
Background: Grew up in California, the son of a small rancher and had the money to use up amunition in practicing with both rifle and pistols. His mother died of cholera just two years after they had the ranch, when he was 15. By that time he was doing the work of a man and was on good terms with the cowboys and hired men. The ranch was wiped out by drought when he was 19, and his father died soon after, gored by a bull. He paid off the hands, sold everything but the two best horses and drifted. He has been throughout California, working on various ranches and occasionally in a mine. When in town, he prefers to keep to one pistol in sight, the other either tucked into his waistband underneath his vest, or in his bedroll.
Skills: A top hand on any ranch and well used to the 60' riatas of the mexicans as well as the more common 30' or 40' ropes used. A good shot with a rifle, but much better with the two pistols he usually wears. Adept at hunting, as he had to do much of it in his younger days when the family was traveling, and later when his father was busy with the ranch. Fairly good rider, but no bronc buster.

Well, I posted. Want to try and get things kick-started again.
Do you think we should put up profiles for the other characters we've introduced? Jane, Esteban, Rosanna and such?
