Ricochet City
Ricochet City has always been trouble. From the very beginning men, especially lawmen, have been catching bullets on this land for generations.
History
Back before anything was ever built here, Ricochet was just a bunch of rock formations next to a large cliffside. The positioning of the rock formations created a large natural echo chamber, you could hear your footsteps bounce off the walls if you stepped inside. In the old west, gangs and bandits made great use of it whenever they were on the run. If their backs were on the wall and they needed an escape they would run to the rocks. They'd hide inside and kill their pursuers one by one or until they ran out due to their unfamiliarity with the rock formation.
Eventually whenever the law chased someone to the rocks, they'd just turn around if the criminals made it inside. The newspapers got wind of this and ran with it. Embarrassing the government, which was still dealing with others issues at the time. In an effort to save face and prevent further scandal, the government brought the whole formation down with dynamite. Then built a sheriffs outpost right on top of it, that would be the first building in which would later become Ricochet City.
