THE WITCH’S GUNSLINGER is an original concept I created in 2018, but I’ve since changed from a WIP novel to short stories, poetry, and flash fics. Here is the main cast of this concept.
Cassidy Williams
- Former gang leader
- Owns several establishments, as well as a ranch
- Enjoys teaching herself new things, but wary of covens, cults, etc
- Patient woman, not quick to anger
- Weapon of choice, revolver or shotgun
Amelia Williams
- Full blown coven witch
- Stubborn as fuck
- Doesn’t like fucking around with dangerous magic if she can help it
- Been on more trials than the Salem witches because she can’t help helping people, even if it means fuckery for her
- Five ‘sisters’ in her coven, hiding in the hills in an undisclosed location
- Shotgun lover
Clint
- Deaf cambion (half human, half demon)
- Left for dead by mother in a desert
- Was terrified of what her child would become
- Religious motives – sex with a demon, etc
- Raised by wildlife, highly intelligent
- Communicates with hums and sign language
- Eats a fair amount of meat (wolf packs); doesn’t discriminate between humans and animals
- Prefers knives and makeshift weapons and/or hand-to-hand combat
Heidi
- Lone ranger/vampire
- Generally travels alone
- Feeds on the healthy, to not attract attention if an elder/sick victim dies
- Enjoys hanging out in graveyards
- Carries a revolved, named it Tessa after an old flame
- Really just wants to settle down on a small farm and live a quiet life
- Runic magic a gift from a shaman she did a favour for a few centuries ago. Fluctuates with her feeding (ie, if she feeds well, good magic output; if she’s starving, not so much, etc)
Julianna
- Chartruth (mistress of fire)
- Post mistress of a ranching/gold mining town
- Likes to tease the boys, then bat her eyelashes to get out of trouble
- Has a tendency to light things on fire if provoked
- No weapons of choice, can pretty much use whatever comes her way
- Could pass off as a parlor dancer, but don’t tell her that
Etta
- Alchemist
- Amelia’s older sister, a coven witch
- Experiments with different spells, likes testing the limits of magic
- Keeps to herself, not the adventurous type – creature of habit
- Follows general rules well (applies this to her experiments)
- Weapon of choice, poison
