Just found this thread and am definitely going to submit a character. It's been many years since I played Werewolf.

I am thinking a fifth generation Irish American, sent by his family to see why his cousin has stopped answering the telephone.

Hopefully it's not to late to jump into the application process.

My name is Paul... I'm 37 and live in Michigan. I've' been activey playing Roleplay games since Grade school in the late 80's. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG was my gate way. In Highschool we mostly playe White Wolf Games... Werewolf, Vampire, Mage, etc, with some ADnD, Star Wars(with the d6's) and MechWarrior tossed in. Then post-high days were Legend of the Five rings, Shadow Run, Adnd and 3.0 when it came out. Made the transition to 3.5 and then Pathfinder and to be honest never switched out of Pathfinder. I played Society for several years but eventually found a group of players I liked enough that we decided to just run AP's. The continuity is allot more fun than running random PFS scenarios with random players who were just crunching numbers.

I've started lots of PBP games on the boards but have found that like most people the majority of them seem to die down after a while. Right now I have 2 games that couldn't be going better and several others where players seem to be losing interest and falling away. I kind of feel like there's a fair amount of slogging through mediocre and games where the GM disapeers to find the really good ones. Having taken a look through the Zeitgeist manual I find allot of excitement from the world environment. I loved Eberon and this seems to have many of the same elements that I loved from that world.

As far as play style I came from a White Wolf background so many of my favorite encounters and sessions through out the years had no combat what so ever. It's not uncommon for me to make characters that are less than optimum because I think an important part of the RPG experience is making characters with Flaws so that they can grow through and overcome them.

This is a great Guide on how to make an effective yet fluff appropriate SWORDLORD

Current thoughts for characters are:

FEY bloodline Sorcerer... would be a gnome who speaks ALLOT of languages and focuses on enchantment spells... He would be nobleborn and used to people doing what he says. although I have been playing allot of gnome sorcerers lately.

Half-Elven hunter devotee of Erastil Pioneer... for some reason I think it would be cool to ride a Stag "Princess Mononoke" style.

I might go for theSword Scion...a Swordlord archetype fighter if no one else does.

Or maybe a half orc Skald with a background of being a brigand.
