Background Details < < < Back to Main Page
- Flesh out your hero's background. Give her a name, think a bit about where she came from and why she’s traveled out West—or what she’s done her whole life, if she started out there. This all helps you play your character well, and gives the Marshal lots of ideas for interesting stories.
Your Worst Nightmare < < < Back to Main Page
- Finally, think a bit on what really scares your hero. What’s he afraid of, and why? Now think about what kind of dream makes him wake up with the cold sweats at night. Write it down.
- No reason, really. Trust us.
