Star Warlock sounds cool. I take it that we would start at low levels, but level fairly rapidly - given the nature of pbp?
Yes I agree that would be the most fun, getting new abilities that change the game over time :)
Here is my star warlock concept I was thinking about, I know his story is rather unconventional but so is this campaign concept :) I'm hope I didn't made any mistakes, stats shall off course need to be update when this campaigns stat generation method is decided.

Description: Starling Singularus has spend it's entire youth without meeting a single other humanoid being and it shows. He sometimes uses words and phrases a normal being wouldn't use in conversations or accidentally uses Deep Speech when he should have used common. When it comes to clothes and hairstyle does he only consider functionality, he doesn't care how it looks. A lot of his stuff is self made from stuff found in the forest. Yet is he at the same time charming, he has gentle light blue eyes and a friendly wel tanned face. His brown hair shines in the sun and moon light. His voice is soft and friendly unless when he uses deep speech, then it sounds completely out of this world.
Background:
Left behind in a forest as a little child, he was utterly doomed. Wolves came for what would be an easy meal, then he saw the visions for the first time, the visions from the black star. Visions of a star that didn't gave but stole light, visions of a star where time nor space truly existed, visions of madness and geniality.
Just before a wolf would bite him did the vision ended, then bright star light erupted from his hands, light the black star had stolen from other stars, instantly killing the wolf. The other wolves where so shaken that they would never come back to him.
Then begun the whispers, the whispers from the black star. The black star told him what fruit to eat, how to build a shelter, how to make fire and how to cook a meal. While he was alone in the forest was he never truly alone, for he heard the whispers from the black star. The whispers also told him about history, religion and arcane secrets.
At night he dreamed of a multidimensional place where space and time took the weirdest forms. He dreamt of strange beings living around the black star, he heard them talk. He had so many of those dreams that he eventually started to understand the language of those beings. When he was bored talked he that language to himself to amuse him.
But then after 14 years stopped the whispers from the black star suddenly after the final whisper: "You I called Starling Singularus! Leave this forest now! In what you call the future are you needed!". The whispers ended, the dreams stopped but still felt he closer to the black star then ever before, his real live had started!
