I rather love the idea of an Edwardian adventurer called "Contract Beardington" (Stuffy English type), Gold Pistol (An American from out west who struck gold and is not wealthy beyond her wildest dreams, but still wanting adventure) and their aide, a cherubic street urchin with a penchant for detonations, nicknamed Jack "Explosion"(He didn't have a surname because he doesn't know his family, and just likes the word)
