CAST LIST

We have seen many coming and going through the Gulch. For those of you who are just tuning in and want to know who some of the faces are we have put together a cast list for you.

MAIN CAST

3Gun – The man who started it all, the town and the story. He is currently the law here in the Gulch. He's a Gunslinger with too many notches etched in his belt but if things get too crazy, he'll retire to his hammock for a little R&R and maybe a song or two.

Nickname: 3Gun, as his actual name is 3Gun Wild Bill Dakota Kid, Jr., or Sheriff

Horse: Has no name but will come if he sings Over the Rainbow

Homing Pigeon: Name also unknown, but answers to the song Blackbird

Authored by: lyttlejoe

Crazygoose - Resident know-it-all but it's a hazard of the job as she runs the Weekly Gold Pillars and as Editor and Chief she will get to the bottom of the story no matter the cost. She has eyes and ears in every town.

Nickname: CG

Horse: Crazymoose -Take care around this horse if you have any muffins, jam or cranberry juice, he's been know to invade people's personal space. (also known as CM)

Stannbear- This once outlaw now Deputy for the Gulch has taken many a shot both verbal and otherwise. His past keeps coming back to haunt him mostly because we keep bringing it up... but also because his jailbird relatives keep causing trouble for him.

Still his steadfastness had caught the eye of Sheriff 3Gun, who entrusted the Gulch into his care when he left to Hunt the Hunter (now deceased), knowing the town was in good hands.

Nickname: Crybaby ...but only to a select few.

Horses: Bounty and he was willed Thunderpanda by Lean Copper Clover.

Raven- A Young cowboy and lonesome soul who works at the Busted Gulch Saloon under the Management of Crooked Smile. He's a little off balance (not to be confused with clumsy) due to a damaged ear, which he refuses to admit but it's best to take care around him in a gunfight. Also, keeper of the LOST and FOUND box.

Nickname: None at present

Horse: Unknown

Kae – A Criminal Investigator from Crusted Canyon County who blew into town and hit the ground running eager to take on the job of investigating the Gulch's latest troubles only to find herself kidnapped when she had gotten in too deep. The brave red haired investigator thankfully was rescued but still has some mysteries to share, a past unknown and information gathered.

Nickname: None at present

Horse: No name mentioned but we do know he is the color grey. Wait... we've been informed his name is FRED.

Ruby – A Crazy Old Cat Lady who has an obsession with the fur balls as they seem to have an effect on her magic ... oh yeah, that's right she's a witch. Her greatest feat - casting a hex on the town of Busted Gulch (see NIGHT OF THE MUFFINS)... oh did we mention she's one of Stannbear's relatives? I know you're surprised.

Nickname: Cat Lady, Crazy Old Cat Lady, and the witch

Horse: She doesn't have one but she did manage to steal Ol'Bessy, the town's only cow to pull her wagon and make her get away.

Cats: Litters and litters of kittens too many to name and... Jasper – a blackTransmogrifying Cat who evidently has a friend who at this time is unnamed, his whereabouts currently unknown except by Ruechari.
