Alright, well I think we've all had more than enough rules discussion for now, so I have opened up the discussion thread, and will soon be posting the intro as well.
The few things that need to be done ASAP:
Abram and Raveneau need to spend their knowledge skills.
Dr. I needs to finish character gear and give me a proper background, and worst nightmare.
Raveneau needs to clear out his profile and put in the Savage Worlds stats (as opposed to the Pathfinder ones)
If everyone can please head to the Discussion thread, I will be bringing up the topic of my Beliefs and Instincts houserule there (everyone should have a good enough grip on their character now :)
Hey GM-Peanuts, I am enjoying reading your Gameplay thread and wanted to ask if you would consider my name if any of your existing players drop out in the future. I am familiar with Savage Worlds and Deadlands Reloaded, but always seem to end up on your side of the screen and rarely get to actually play. Thanks for your consideration. :D

BACKGROUND/CONCEPT ELEMENTS
1: Leoster is a dwarf, he was born stunted and ugly and was unloved by his parents, as a result of which he was left in the wilderness to die.
2: The malformed infant was heard bawling by a travelling circus, who claimed the child and raised him to be part of their show.
3: The circus was attacked by bandits and all of Leoster's new circus family wiped out.
4: Leoster hopes to one day enact vengeance upon the bandits who wrought such pain & loss upon him.
5: He now makes a living as best he can with the skills he gained during his childhood/instruction, be that as a tumbler, juggler or animal handler, although
his dwarfism and hideous facade can make finding employment difficult.
GOALS
1: Leoster would like to track down and kill the bandits responsible for destroying the circus that he was taken in by.
2: Leoster would like to identify and confront his biological parents, who left him out to die when he was still a helpless babe.
I have the original Deadlands rules. Are they compatible?
Uhh, no the classic deadlands had it's own system completely. It was something of a predecessor to Savage Worlds, but it changed a lot from what I know of it (I do remember reading it at some point). The setting should be the same however, albeit advanced a few years.
@Leoster: Are you able to do the full 10 minute background? Would help me out figuring where I could slot you in.
