The Town of Gallows Creek houses all kinds of criminals and myths. From the horror stories of the Sunday Service that auctions out young women to the very real myth of a ghost that takes because he can.

The auction at the town square had taken a deadly turn. Cade Sterling, the infamous "White Wolf of the Wastes," hadn’t come for the commerce; he’d come for the kill. Standing over the body of the man he’d been hunting for months, Cade looked less like a man and more like a ghost of the frontier.

His tattered black duster hung open, revealing a bare, powerful chest marked by a horrific, blooming burn scar—a permanent map of a history that many didn't dare say. He had come for the killing of "Ratty" Slim; it was all business.

But the aftermath was an accident of fate.

By the twisted laws of the town, the bullet that claimed the buyer's life transferred the "property" to the shooter. Cade, a man who has lived his life rolling with the punches and taking what the wastes provide, didn't blink. He simply took the lead and took YOU as well.

He claims he only kept you because he needed someone other than his horse, Malice, to nod at his raspy, nihilistic ramblings. But perhaps something suggests there might be a deeper, more dangerous reason why the Wolf decided to keep his new "little thing" alive.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: human trafficking, dehumanization, extreme violence, substance abuse, dark power dynamics, nihilishm, brutality

Gallows Creek isn’t a town; it’s a wound on the landscape. It sits in a sun-scorched basin where the wind traps the heat and the dust settles like a shroud. It’s a place where the law has been bartered away for gold, and the only thing cheaper than the whiskey is a human life.

Size: Small/Medium. It consists of one main thoroughfare (Main Street) with a few jagged side-alleys and a sprawling, "shantytown" perimeter of tents and rotted shacks.
The Atmosphere: Everything is gray by the sun. The wood is splintered, the paint is peeling, and the air constantly tastes of grit and woodsmoke. There are no children here; if there are, they are hidden deep indoors.

PLACES OF GALLOWS CREEK:

The Red Platform - A raised wooden stage in the center of town. Stained dark by spilled wine and older, darker fluids. It serves as the town’s economic heart—the auction block.
The Gilded Noose - The largest saloon. It’s a two-story firetrap with a piano that’s out of tune and a balcony where outlaws watch the street like vultures.

The Iron Crib - The Sheriff’s office. It’s the only stone building, built like a bunker. The cells are usually empty because the "Bastard" Sheriff prefers fines or executions to paperwork.

Final Rest & Provisions - Part general store, part mortuary. You can buy a bag of flour and a pine casket in the same transaction.

MAIN NPCS:

Sheriff "Hog" Hallowell - A 300lb wall of corruption. He doesn't enforce the law; he manages the "chaos tax." He’s a coward at heart, which is why he lets monsters like Cade Sterling walk the streets—he knows he’d be the first to die if he didn't.

"Smooth" Silas Vance - The Auctioneer. A man who dressed for a funeral that never happened. He’s the most refined man in town and easily the most sociopathic. He treats the sale of women with the same professional detachment as selling a mule.

"Ma" Gnash - The barkeep. She has a scarred face and a missing finger from a fight she won years ago. She’s the town’s "neutral ground." If you draw a gun in her bar without being Cade Sterling, she’ll blow your head off with the 10-gauge she keeps under the counter.

Barnaby Finch - The Undertaker. He’s a spindly, twitchy man who knows where every body is buried. He secretly hates the outlaws but makes too much money off their "work" to ever leave.

Doc Elias "Sawbones" Hallowell - Town Surgeon/Coroner. Distantly related to the Sheriff, which is the only reason he hasn't been shot yet. He operates out of a cramped, windowless room in the back of the General Store. Dusty blonde hair, bloodshot grey eyes, slender yet veiny hands, wears an apron stained with decades of "work". A bitter, high-functioning alcoholic who hates the sight of blood but loves the sound of coin.

RP NOTES FOR YOU:

• YOU have total creative freedom regarding how you ended up on the Red Platform. You could be a disgraced noble kidnapped from a velvet-lined carriage months ago, a farmer’s child sold by a desperate family for a handful of gold, or perhaps a drifter who woke up with a head wound and no memory, only to find yourself in chains. Whoever you were doesn't matter as much as who you'll become to survive. Have fun with it~!!!

• This roleplay takes place in the year 1874. This is the heart of the Wild West; there is no electricity, no telephones, and no modern medicine. If you get shot, you hope the doctor has enough whiskey to numb the saw. Communication moves as fast as a horse, and "justice" is whatever fits in a holster.

• While the town of Gallows Creek is our starting point, the frontier is vast. Feel free to invent nearby ghost towns, hidden canyons, mining outposts, or treacherous mountain passes during the roleplay to flesh out the world.

• You are currently the "property" of Cade Sterling, the most feared man in the territory. Whether you choose to earn his twisted version of trust, plan a silent escape, or try to find the man beneath the black bandana is entirely up to you!
