[Lewt McConnell]

Lewton McConnell is a character to say at the least. His ideas, passions, and dreams consist of recklessness. He often thinks very little about anything other than money, women, and alcohol. Lewton McConnell thrives among being a outlaw. Since he had been seventeen, he found the “game” of stealing his thrill in life. Lewton McConnell is one hell of a gun man. Due to the constant “shoot ‘em up” life he lives. Although, it may not be apparent the man is quite clever in what he does. As a leader, he is quite a strategic planner.

Lewt is a content man. There is hardly a time when he is absurdly angry or unhappy. Almost always there is a pronounced smile on his face. He is a generous man (to a certain point), and can be very greedy as well. His objective is of money, women, and drinking.

Lewt is a exceptional friend. I can see him having many close bonds, mostly of a outlaw nature. Although, a thief; he is never one to steal from friends. Since Lewton is a friendly individual, it seems he would have many companions as well. However, probably none that he is really close to. The Les Coureur Enfers is his only closest, trusted companions. Although, he could have many friends.

I hardly see any mutual enemies for Lewton. However, I can see him being disliked by many “proper” townsmen and women. It could be particularly interesting if Lewton had some type of hatred for a law enforcer of some type (from another town or here). I believe he there would be a good enemy plot there.

Lewton is not a one woman man (not yet at least). However, there may be a interesting future plot that may form with a “true love”. For now, he is a very promiscuous man. Preferring the company of many women. I’m open to many ideas here!

Alrighty, so I have my girl, Piper, who's play by is the beautiful, Amber Heard. Piper is dangerous, and not a woman to mess with. She was married early, and was happy with the marriage because she actually had feelings for her husband, Jonathan Greene, but he didn't. He wasn't ready to be wed, and well, took many women when he was in town at the many Saloons and "Inns". Piper found out about it and put a twelve-gauge to his head and blew his brains out as soon as he walked in the door. She's been on the run from the law every since the age of nineteen, and even disappeared into Mexico for a while, coming back when she was twenty-one. She is a very brave woman, and knows how to fight and take care of herself. She doesn't care when people recognize her, because most don't have the balls to confront her, because she always ends up getting away and people end up dead.

Now, for the plotting. I was thinking they could bump into each other at a Saloon or someplace and Lewt actually recognize her and well... maybe be intrigued by her? Curious? I don't know. Its however you know he'd react. But, let me know.

[Lewt McConnell]

She's fantastic! Very interesting, lovely lady. Interesting how you added the twist of her killing her husband by the way. Anyways, about Lewt....he would be very interested in her. Of course, being a absurdly womanizing individual he would probably chase her around. I don't mind if your Piper tries to show him some sense either, he needs it. Yeah, he could recognize her from 'Wanted' posters? That sounds like a good idea. Perhaps, he'd even try to get her to run around with his gang...she can decline of course. Saloon it is! You or me first? I just got to finish up a response to a thread with someone ^^...then I'm good to go.

I can start it if you'd like! These two are gonna be fun. I can see it now.

[Lewt McConnell]

That would be awesome! Yes, I concur. I'm stoked!

[Weldon Campbell]

Hmmm. I wonder, with Lewt being a bit of a shady character and leader of a posse, if there is potential for plotting with Weldon Campbell. Perhaps Campbell has (or will) 'employed' Lewt's services as a means to an end. (Or maybe, Lewt has tried or will try to steal from Weldon's homestead.)

I've got the beginnings of a post to introduce Campbell where we discover just what he does when he discovers one of his hands trying to steal from him. A foolish thing to do but maybe the hand was seeking to sell to Lewt or prove himself to the gang? Dunno.

So potential for them to be enemies - not outright - as that's not Weldon's style usually. But very wary and distrustful of one another. Or alternatively, wary, sometimes when necessary collaborators of crimes - Weldon hires Lewt to carry out certain business transactions? I imagine if that's the case, Weldon is likely to be very cagey, not sure to trust Lewt and his gang and certainly not his reckless streak but the desire to make a profit might outwin such concerns.

[Lewt McConnell]

Interesting! I really do believe it will be the makings of a good story if Weldon hires Lewt and the gang for potential business. Exactly what business were you thinking of? I could see the two later on becoming enemies. Perhaps, there would be an "issue" that arises between the two of some sort that Lewton does not agree with. Later on Lewton will brew up a plan to rob Weldon's estate. I like it! I would really enjoy going along with this. Its very creative.

Is Weldon a wealthy cattle Baron by chance?

[Weldon Campbell]

Weldon is a wealthy cattle Baron - though most of his wealth has come through land speculation and from his more criminal dealings back in the city.

I like the idea of them eventually falling out. Has a nice arc to it and it should be fun working out the how and the why.

[Rio Daniels]

Sooo I know we were talking about this in the c-box tonight, but I figured I would kind of write down the idea? I hope that's okay, haha.

But hopefully they can settle down together later on when your plot with your two boys and the one lady works out =D. I can definitely see Lewt and Rio as a pair because of their personalities. I see like a love hate thing going on at first until she finally admits to herself that she actually does care for him.

She's really stubborn and fiery, as you've seen, but I think he'd be able to turn her around to admitting that maybe men aren't so bad. However, it'll take a long time to win her trust, especially because he's such a womanizer. I cannot wait until he's flirting with her and she finds another woman in his bed because she's going to shoot him. Really, she is =D. It'll be so awesome haha.

But I love the post that they have going on right now. They're personalities work really well together, and I'm really excited!

[Lewt McConnell]

Weldon - Rio and I were discussing your guy's very interesting plot and we were thinking about when Rio decides to take her revenge on Weldon, Lewton will eventually show up and "attempt" to make peace between the two of you. However, we'll have to see what goes on from there. I think it will be damn good fun ^^.

Rio - Yes, I have a feeling it will take awhile to develop and work on. I do think that they will begin to like each other as time goes on (as friends). Lewton, of course, will not be accustomed to sticking with just one woman...so he will eventually get shot by Rio for all those reasons. I can't wait either!

[Weldon Campbell]

Yeah, I'm tracking what's happening with Rio and Lewt - it's great stuff! And actually, the addition of Lewt into the story is what could make things explosive. Lewt after all is one of the few people who knows outright about the more menacing side of Weldon. Perhaps he wants to warn Rio without saying too much but as time goes on he maybe learns even more and has to warn Rio. Cue a possible vengeance arc - maybe with the two of them Rio and Lewt double teaming to bring Weldon down. From there ... who knows what bloody mayhem may be sown...
