EDIT: Here it is.

In addition to my characters I mentioned in this original post, I also created and took the village doctor as a character. And there's Wanted Ads for the priest and the school teacher. The latter two are NPCs until they are taken.

I can find only one active Old West rpg site and unfortunately it's not one where I could develop my characters the way I'd like to. And it seems there doesn't exist a roleplayer who'd be truly inspired to play on 1x1 site, judging by how they keep disappearing just when we've started.

Is there any interest in a multi-player Old West rpg as follows?

- It would be set in the late 1870s in a fictionalized version of Burns which at the time was a rural village in southwest Minnesota.

- Only that village would be fictionalised. Overall the game would be based on real life history and aim at realism. As in you'd need to do research on the time period and other locations whilst creating your character and whilst writing game events. But I would not be anal about it, things wouldn't have to be perfectly accurate as long it's nothing major. I would provide some of the most essential info on the website so no one needs to research everything.

- It would be for people who enjoy writing historical everyday life in a rural community. The vilage would be rather small but developed enough to have numerous different seevices and townhouses too so your character doesn't need to be a farmer and there'd be potential for colourful variety of game events. Game locations would also include New York City and you could set a game event anywhere you need.
But the point is, it would not be a wild west rpg but an old west rpg focusing on a small community's everyday life.

- Character driven, no site wide plot.

- The time flow would be fluid. The timeline would be a few years in the late 1870s.

- My characters would be a farmer family including the parents and a very young son (5+ years old) and the son would be my main character with the parents as side characters. I could write separate events with the parents if needed, they just don't have their own biographies yet. And I also have a Native American father and his 7+ years old son, both main characters.

- Celebrity play-bys would be allowed but not mandatory to use.
Also child PBs under the age of 13. I personally use PBs for all my characters.

- The site would be rated 3-2-2. Minimum age for joining would be 15.

- Self-hosted, using myBb.

Anyone interested to join? Any questions or suggestions?
