Pre-Generated Heroes for The Sixth Gun RPG

Back when I wrote the scenario "The Grand Tournament" for The Sixth Gun RPG to use at Con of the North this year, I also wrote up some characters for it; finally, I've typed up a PDF that can easily be printed.

Pre-Generated Heroes

Also, here's a link to the post with that scenario.

The Grand Tournament

Langston Calhoun, Gambler
This professional gambler has a good mind for cards and an eye for other players. He enjoys little more than risking fame and fortune on the turn of a single card. Although he usually tries to talk his way out of conflicts whenever possible, he is prepared to back up his words with bullets if and when it becomes necessary.

Annabel O'Bannon 
While she plays the role of nothing more than the lady on Langston's arm, Annabel O'Bannon brings her own well-honed set of skills to the table. She is an accomplished thief, one who believes that if people can't protect their valuables, then they don't deserve to have them. Annabel prefers to avoid altercations using guile and charm but who can certainly take care of herself when trouble starts. In this way she is a valuable ally for Langston Calhoun, someone who can watch his back and help him work on certain marks.

Virgil Grimaldi
This hombre isn't the smartest person on the frontier, but he is strong, stubborn, and skilled when it comes to fisticuffs. That, of course, is why he travels around with Langston Calhoun and the rest of the entourage, providing some intimidation when necessary and a strong right hook as needed. When not engaged in those activities, Virgil enjoys drinking strong beverages and fraternizing with female company.
Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d4, Spirit d6, Strength d8, Vigor d6

Edges: Brawler, Brawny
Hindrances: Illiterate, Short Temper
Gear: Fancyish clothing, brass knuckles, Bowie knife, $68 

Liu Chand
This frontier doctor combines the best in modern teachings with ancient traditions, including Chinese alchemy. In this way he can stitch up a wound, set a broken limb, treat someone for scarlet fever, or even scare off an enemy, provide an edge in a fight, or detect magical doings by others. He is willing to play the part of the subservient Chinaman as long as it helps him gain an advantage over unsuspecting opponents, but shows his true grit when the chips are all on the table. He poses as Langston Calhoun's private doctor, but also seeks opportunities to advance his own magical abilities.

  • Fear: Cause characters to make a fear check (-2 on a raise) in a larger burst template.
Gear: Fancy clothing, folding knife, spectacles, $68 

Howling Coyote
Ostensibly the “spiritual advisor” for Langston Calhoun, this Dakotah shaman seeks to learn more about the White Man who is invading lands once occupied by Howling Coyote's people. To do so, this winkte has struck an unlikely alliance with a group of frontier ne'er-do-wells, but has also come to enjoy their company and even trust them in dangerous situations. All in all, Howling Coyote wishes that this land could return to the old ways, instead of yielding to the insatiable push of modernization.
