We're talking a planet which has laser-wielding cowboys fighting off bandits with makeshift tanks and machineguns. Gangs which have grenades and rocket launchers as a matter of course. Ten thousands people are sent off from each hive city every three years as part of a triannual tithe to an offworld galactic government whom will send them off to fight the enemy of Man or execute them for not doing so. And an alien menace of some sort is looming in on the system, threatening all their homes, their culture, their lifestyle, everything. Just roll with it because it's cool.

Knight, Jessica Age: 19 Height: 5'4" (162.56 cm) Weight: 121lbs (54.88 kg) Skin tone: Slightly tanned Hair color: Medium brown Eye color: Turquoise Build: Physically fit Other notable physical characteristics: General features of a grox-rancher family-- calloused hands, evidence of previously skinned knees and elbows, scrapes, faded remnants of minor cuts and bruises, etc.
Short biographical summary: Raised in a rancher family, grew up on the plains with a good deal of experience riding both motorcycles and the native equine-type fauna. Was considered for Roughrider duties at 17, but was overlooked for healthier candidates due to minor injuries suffered during a bandit raid. Little known background aside from this, likely due to the remote nature of the ranching life and their suspiciousness of Imperial authority that doesn't leave them alone.

That's a pretty sweet pic actually.
I'm still working on a character. But I want to ask, can we make a character from the Hive or the Western? Or just the Hive, because that changes my concept a bit.

It is. Give her a bigger revolver and it'd be even more awesome, which I'm doing. Anything that thematically fits. Hive citizen, underhive ganger, rancher, bandit, etc.

Making a small change to my character's history. She has augmetic bones and muscles assisting her left hand due to her accident that prevented her from being put into the rough riders (essentially, got knocked down during a grox stampede and had her hand crushed by the beasts).

Ouch.....
That's gotta hurt....
Rosh, Viran 21: 5' 9" 160 lbs Fair skinned, not dark, but not light either: Black: Light blue: Average. That's the one word everyone uses: None:
Rosh is someone that nobody ever notices. He is always overlooked, as he's just simply there. Just plain average, a person that no one would suspect of anything. Rosh is completely average in every aspect, always never the best, but never the worst, just in between. He's done his utmost best to ensure that he remains the person that's never noticed. However, he was gone to a lot of trouble perfecting his....More questionable skills. Rosh is an expert lockpick, quite the pick pocket, and quite the sniper. He's worked on and off for many different gangs, simply selling his skills. He prides himself on being able to steal pretty much almost anything. Information, weapons, even people. Rosh has seen people taken away for conscription for years, and each time they found him, he simply walked to them. And each time, they simply passed him over for someone who wasn't just plain average... :

Threepwood, Vanash Khah Age: 19 Height: 6'0 (182.88 cm) Weight: 145lb (65.8kg) Skin tone: Pale Hair color: Jet black Eye color: Blue Build: Lean, unusually tall Other notable physical characteristics: Is said to have eyes that can stare into a mans soul, large hands, light facial hair
Short biographical summary: Not much is known of Vanash Threepwood. He has stalked the underhive for years and is suspected to be behind a multitude of offenses yet the arbites have not the evidence or testicular solidity to pull him in. Like a ghost he seems to leave no evidence of his presence. A trickster and coniver of the utmost and can hack any system, any lock.
What little the arbites can pull up on him is that he was born to a small factory worker family. The records from there are blank untill around the age of 15 standard. It is assumed he got bored of the humdrum life of a factory worker and is suspected to have pulled a heist on what was considered the most secure currency vault in the city (though many other suspects were considered).
The way he gets around is a mixture of pure cockiness, light footed agility and knowing the right things to say. He is also suspected of running a vast black market empire in the underhive but it appears he is good at covering his tracks.
The records, again, go blank up untill a major riot that took place in the underhive...

Riot's started. Essentially, it's a full blown free for all. Bandits attacking ranchers, ranchers attacking gangers, gangers attacking hive residents, hive residents attacking bandits, and PDF and Arbites attacking everyone who won't stay still and disarm themselves.
