Continued from the original thread, due to forum display issues. These threads will be merged together when the issue is resolved.

(Everyone at this point has the clothing on their back, a rusty melee weapon, a single loaded black powder pistol, a bandanna for hiding their identity, a single smoke bomb, a knapsack, and any additional items detailed in their character sheets)

You are a group of highwaymen known by the people as the Handsome Host, named in part due to your dashingly attractive leader "Handsome" Harry, a man known to never hide his identity when doing his livelihood. A band of almost fifty strong, you mainly perform acts of armed robbery and kidnapping along the roadways that lead to the southern part of the Luw Empire, targeting wealthy merchants and even high ranking government officials. While a most of the money is used to provide a living for the members of the gang, a good portion is donated to local schools and charity organizations, earning you a good name among the people.

Recently, your leader Harry has gotten wind of the news that the vice minister of the treasury is on the way home for vacation from his contacts in the capital, and so Harry and eight other members of the gang are now awaiting on the road that the minister is expected to travel.

The members of the gang that are here are as following:
"Handsome" Harry, a six foot tall Adonis of a man twenty-six years of age, with flowing blonde hair and a pearly white smile. Some say he is far too good looking to be a bandit, and many suspect him to be the bastard son of some noble, there has been no proof to substantiate the latter.

"Hacksaw" Randy, a former carpenter who had broken his dominant hand in a work related accident, but received no compensation from the evil capitalist he was working for. When he attempted to sue, he was instead fined a hefty sum for slander. Unable to bear the burden of his debt, he was forced into banditry and taken in by Harry. Uses a hacksaw with his left hand.

Joe the Plumber, a balding middle aged plumber who was forced out of business by his arch-nemesis and competitor Borock Obana, whose connections with high ranking government officials allowed him to get preferential tax treatment. Swearing revenge, Joe burned down Obana's shop and was forced into exile.

Ruru the Orphan, a short, plump young girl of mysterious origins with a head of short curly brown hair. She seems to be the sneaky type who can walk without making a sound. When asked of whence she came from, she replied "I made myself an Orphan".

Bob the Butcher, a stocky former butcher who apparently never cleaned his knife. Eventually that caused several bad cases of food poisoning which landed him in prison for a year. When he was released, nobody was willing to buy his meat anymore, and so he had to turn to crime to make a living.

"Ronny" Roebuck, a wiry man of average height, with dirty blonde windswept hair. For some reason he's always wearing riding chaps and a half-cape, causing him to look like a queer. He insists that he isn't, but the men of the gang still tread carefully around him. Any avid horse racer would recognize him as the super-star jockey who was involved in a cheating scandal a few years back that ended his career. He is always followed around by his horse Jensine, even now.

Pepe McDonald, a corpulent, pasty man in his early thirties who claims that he is a former noble fallen on hard times. Nobody believes him, of course, but he's a surprisingly good distraction in fights, and a fair cook, so Harry keeps him around anyways. He is never seen eating anything other than fried chicken.

"Hangman" Sherry, a freckle-faced middle aged woman who likes to kill people by choking them with a rope around their neck. Although this interest is reserved for those she judges to be evil, it is fairly obvious on how such a habit can get on the wrong side of the law. Surprisingly strong due to her morbid hobby, she serve as the gang's front line in a brawl.

Brue the Inbred, a short young boy with blue hair. He comes from the foreign lands of Fukyutu, and claims to be an ally of justice, but everyone knows that he's probably just wrong in the head due to the rampant inbreeding that happens in his country.

You've been staked here for a whole day already, but there is still no signs of the minister's carriage.

Alright guys, ever since the untimely hiatus of the Bullshit, there as been a void at the forums. A VOID OF A LONG RUNNING RPG.

Thus, as per my own will, and with Lord Kelvin's blessings, I will take it upon myself to host the next forum RPG(once again).

Details coming below.

As per @Kaede 's suggestion, spoilers tags have now been implemented! (They don't come with MyBB by default, strangely enough.

There are three ways to use spoiler tags:

Here are those three methods in action:
