Gunslinger

You for certain weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but the family legend has it you might have been born with a Colt Python in your hand. You were practicing the quickdraw in your nappies—even if it was only with a carved wooden gun.   Fascinated by the storied history of firearms in the Kopav Alliance, perhaps one of your family was a rifleman in the army, a cowboy protecting the herds on the plains, or even a legendary outlaw. Whatever the truth, guns have been your focus since childhood: their craftsmanship, their legacy, and their deadly function. They don’t just make noise—they make history.
