Congratulations to the chosen. That was quite stiff competition. I will be stalking the game play thread with quite some interest.

@Gobgob: I used to have a poster of this a couple of years back.

@Gobgob: Why do the little things from the Darkness comics come to mind when I think about all your little eidolons running around? Probably because your avatar reminds me of one of those things on the cover of the comic, but I can't help making the connection.

Indeed. Best of luck to everyone.

@Draco18s: I know the feeling, I made that mistake with my first character. I actually had to remake him 3 seperate times before I learned a few tricks.

• Type it up in a word document or something similar (As mentioned by DM Jelani)
  
• Always select all the text and copy it before hitting submit. That way if it DOES freak out on you or log you out, you have the option to just paste the most recent and up to date version of your write up and try a resubmit.
  

EDIT: Also, the nice thing about doing it in a word document, you can put all the bolds, italics, and ooc tags after you make the text look the way you want it to. an example is you bold the text during the initial write up for headings of feats and such. Once you finish the write up, you can put the appropriate tags provided by the visual cue you placed. (I am not particularly sure if any of that just made sense, but I hope it was clear enough to understand.) :D

@shenhua: From my reading on the forums, Heirloom Weapon gives you Prof in that specific weapon you get from the trait. If you pick up a different Long bow for example, you are not proficient with it. Of course, Robert DOES have last say and may even let it slide, which would make my comment a moot point. :D

EDIT: BTW, I agree with you on the Heirloom Weapon trait being a mess. While I don't agree with what they did to it with the Errata, I do understand why they did it. IMO either way you turn it, I love that trait for RP purposes, even if you DO have to buy the weapon with starting cash to have it.

On the topic of this particular game (not trying to step on anyones toes or anything mind you), By a show of hands, who among you already have a concept of where you are going with your Eidolon? I have read a few of the backgrounds and see that some have even decided on what it will look like and so on. I was just curious on how far you have planned out your characters and Eidolons in advance.

I personally want to "play it by ear" so to speak... I am really interested to see (if selected anyway) how my character grows through this campaign and was thinking of determining its form and abilities through RP experience. I am curious if anyone else had a similar idea of if you have a map of what you want by the end of the campaign.

I am flabbergasted at the incredible submission you put in Shenhua. It makes me wonder how many others do something similar. I am very new to the boards and from the look of the responses here, I am guessing that is rare. I have also seen some absolutely amazing back stories from many of the other candidates thus far. Is there are running count on how many characters are from Noble backgrounds and how many are not? (just out of sheer curiosity)

@Robert: I have updated my background (I hope I didn't go to overboard). I would also like your critique on tweaks I can make to the story. I am kinda new to the whole storytelling thing and would love some pointers.

@Everyone: If anyone is willing to read through my long background I would actually be interested in any input you all might have for me. Critiques are good!!! :D

I am expanding my background and I will post here when I finish the update.

I, Zanithane, hereby submit myself to the College of Shadows under the sign of The Lost.
