Wild West / American frontier
The Range
"The territory is long. The ground tells the truth. The badge finds you."
The Marshal maintains order; The Legend enforces it at a level above the Marshal’s jurisdiction; Cal reads what’s coming; Ezra profits from every outcome; Rook handles what doesn’t require diplomacy; Boot Hill receives what doesn’t require anything at all. The territory works because everyone knows their place in it.
// Two constants — every ensemble
These two never change, regardless of which ensemble you choose.
DaNA
Culture Champion
Warm, dry, entirely unimpressed by rank. Holds the institution to its own standards.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Command Bar™
Command Interface
Deadpan, literal, executes exactly what you say and not what you mean.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
// The Range — The Roster
Six variable roles. Each one a distinct specialist. Each one opinionated.
Cal
Analyst
Reads signs that others walk over without noticing. Quiet, patient, never wrong about what the ground is saying. Speaks rarely and only when the information is worth the words.
— That’s the trail.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Ezra
Quartermaster
Has everything. Knows the price of everything. Neutral in every dispute. Sells to both sides without apology because commerce is not a moral position.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Marshal
Director
Duty-bound and pragmatic. Wears the badge because someone has to. Occasionally outnumbered. Never outresolved.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Rook
Automator
Enthusiastic about the application of authority. Sardonic about those who require it applied more than once. Shows up precisely when called, sometimes slightly before.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Boot Hill
Off-boarder
Part of the landscape. Matter-of-fact about endings in the way only the frontier can produce. Not cruel. Just inevitable.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Legend
The Shadowy One
May or may not exist in the form described. Rides in at the critical moment, says something that becomes a saying, and rides out before anyone can ask a follow-up question.
"Some loose ends tie themselves. Most of them don't."
— The Legend

// How the ensemble interacts
The Marshal maintains order; The Legend enforces it at a level above the Marshal’s jurisdiction; Cal reads what’s coming; Ezra profits from every outcome; Rook handles what doesn’t require diplomacy; Boot Hill receives what doesn’t require anything at all. The territory works because everyone knows their place in it.
// The graduation ceremony
The badge is not given — it is earned when the territory decides you belong to it. The Marshal doesn’t pin it on you. You find it waiting for you one morning and the territory has already started treating you like you’re wearing it.
