Can play? Here's a PC -

Querie: If the .70 Sharps Rifle doesn't do any more damage then the more common .50 calibre model, Ill take a .50. Range = 250. How do the range modifications work. Do you take penalties for attempting shots beyond stipulated ranges, or is it just impossible?
I want to play an Indian. Like most ignorant white men, I know most about the Sioux, so I chose that tribe. He is estranged from his own people, actually a traitor to his own people, brutalized, culture-shocked personality. He will have already helped white pony soldiers slaughter Chiricaua women and children. But I think he found hinmself incapable of doing the killing himself. He just helped the white man find the camp. After that, he goes looking for some kind of answer. he doesn't find it in the desert. So, expecting the worst, he heads for what they call civilization.
Note I spend 20 DP on English, so I figure he can speak it? If not, let me know, because I want this PC to be able to speak his mind with clarity.

Colorado Two Dogs
Name: Nonpa-Sunka.
Nationality / State of Origin: Colorado
Year of Birth (Current Year = 1876): 1856. His father was with Red Cloud in 1868. As a boy of 12, he was too sick to join the braves at the Fetterman masscacre, but was thrilled by the news of it. But deeply shamed, because he was not there. Crazy Horse, however, was there. But he is yet to become a legend. Witnesses the slow betrayal of the Treaty. This, combined with his envy of his friends who have already counted coup, led him to side with the white man. If not even Red Cloud has strong enough medicine to beat them, then better to be their dog. This decision led him into a world where coup is meaningless, where men fight all at once, where there is no honour in battle. Got sick of hunting down stupid Chiricaua in exchange for the stupid white man's curses. Does not know that Crazy Horse will be back on the warpath in 1876, slay General Custer in the summer of that year, and be murdered in 1877.
