~~~ History of the gang ~~

Tim met Chance during a robbery of a general store. They both show up at the same time to rob the store. They were both young and inexperienced at the time. They argue at first on who was going to rob the store. The old man who owned the store grew tired of their childish arguing and finally suggested they split the earnings just to get them out of his store. They take the earnings and leave town together. They go to the next town and visits the saloon, buying each other a beer and toasting a job well-done. The friendship grew.

They met Adam at a saloon. The two went in for a couple of drinks. Tim spotted the blue-eyed blonde sitting at a poker table and was immediately attracted to him. Adam was winning repeatedly against a cowboy. The cowboy accused him of cheating. The blond was greatly outnumbered by the cowboy and his friends. Against his better judgment, Chance agreed to help Tim save Adam. The gambler was attracted to the brown-eyed handsome man immediately. Their romance grew quickly.

The three upped their game. Robbing banks and stagecoaches instead of small general stores. They were making quite a name for themselves.

Someone else was making a name for himself, a young blonde haired scout by the name of Nathan Rodes. It was rumored that he had ridden with some of the most well-known outlaws. They met him during a bank robbery when he helped them escape a posse that was after them. They had no choice but to trust him. He became a permanent and valued member of the gang.

Through Nate, they met Rob Lundquist. Rob had once worked in a coal mine. He was an expert on explosives. He found it exhilarating to blown things up. It gave him life.

With Tim's cocky and half-crazed personality, he quickly became the leader of the group. He decided that they needed someone to be unassociated with the group. Someone that would be able to come and go into a town without being recognized. Who would ever suspect a lovable cuddly man like Rob? Even though he became a big part of the gang, it was agreed that he would keep his distance in public. Remaining innocent.

Last but not least, Austin Brown. His boyish good-looks make him popular with the ladies. Barmaids, whores at the brothels, young innocent girls of a town, it didn't matter to Austin. If they were willing to put out, which most were, he was more than happy to oblige. Tim and the gang saved him from an angry father who had caught Austin with his daughter in a hayloft.

Tim, Adam, Chance, and Nate were riding out of town after scouting out the bank. They were casually riding up the trail making plans. Suddenly, a young man rides pass them. They find themselves being shot at by a group of men. Having no idea what was going on, they return fire as they make their getaway. After losing the angry father and his group of men, they catch up with Austin. Tim demands an explanation for all most getting them killed. Austin apologizes and explains what happened. They immediately liked the young man. His bubbly personality won them over. Austin joined the gang.

The gang becomes know as cold-blooded murderers. But they did have a following. People that were willing to help them in any way they could such as food or temporary hideouts. They had become quite the celebrities.
