Gunslingers are among the most feared members of any society. These people spend their entire lives practicing to shoot and kill other humans. When they become masters of that art, they can end lives in seconds, before anyone else even knew there was a conflict.
As a gunslinger, you are an incredibly skilled gunman, the most deadly in the world. Your personal pride and specialty is likely wrapped up in your guns, and most gunslingers have jobs with titles like mercenary or assassin which utilize their one specialty. You likely consider combat an opportunity to practice and get better, not as an eventuality to be avoided. And with good reason, there are few fights you don't walk away from, usually because you leave your opponents a rotting heap before they ever draw their weapons.
Gunslingers in the Iron Kingdoms are almost exclusively from the Human Kingdoms. Elves don't tend to use guns, and Dwarves don't tend to favor such individualism. Among the humans though, gunslingers of note become people of legend. Watching a gunslinger cut down another human being in one on one combat is considered great entertainment, and the rich pay hefty fees to expert gunslingers for their “protection”.
You may be looking to cash in on such hefty fees, you may be seeking fame and fortune. Either way, the path of a gunslinger is rarely a quiet one.
