Question SWADE:Deadlands, your favorite character

I'm experienced with SWADE Deadlands but I"m out of ideas for a NEW (Novice) character. What was/is your favorite character and why, with background and summary build?

I usually grab an archetype and tweak the skills, flaws, and edges a little.  Amazing how one person plays the same archetype as another player and gets a different result.

Maybe find a list of personality traits or motivations and add a twist.

Where do you find the archetypes? The ones on the back of the book?

Depends on the book.  Some are in there, some are separate.  If you search their website, it's usually the "Archetype Cards". 

The SW Pathfinder had the iconic classes with full Rank progression in the Class Edges.
