These are characters we’ll meet in Whistle Creek. These characters will be further developed, taking your thoughts, preferences and ideas into consideration. We might merge or divide concepts if this deals a better hand.
We also have some fun ideas for people who can only attend part of the larp.
Some of the characters will not be assigned gender before we assign a player.
- Mayor Daniel Whistle – saloon proprietor, city councilor, well regarded and highly respected.
- (Sugar) Lily Lilac – recently arrived in town, has stayed at the Saloon for a couple of weeks, newly hired. There will be a bidding round for her “first ride”.
- (Scarlet) Rose Waters – irresistibly skilled at her job.
- (Dazzlin’) Daisy Rawlins – is getting older, but is well liked by the regulars.

We would also like to add in entertainers like musicians and dancers, local gamblers, merchants, crafters, and other characters that make Whistle Creek come alive.
