  1. The Prospector/Banker, The Snake Oil Salesman, The Traveling Physician, The Mountainman/Trapper, The Trailblazer/Explorer/Surveyor, The Scholar/Archaeologist, The Steamboat/Airship Captain, The Leper/Outcast

  2. When I adapted World of Dungeons to a western setting to make World of Dusters I went with:

    The Gunslinger, as an homage to scary duelists and western adventure serial stars.

    The Hunter, as an obvious representation of not just an indigenous hunter-gatherer, but also the trappers and trackers who populated the frontier.

    The Outlaw, because what is the west without a rooting tooting wild man making his own law and making enemies all at once.

    The Marshall, because it was important to to showcase how localized law enforcement was at the time, and it was an obvious counter-archetype to the Outlaw.

    The 49er: the 1800s renaissance man or woman, interested in periodicals, new fangled science, and fame/fortune. These are the courageous/hard-working thrill-seekers of the era.
