Okay folks, make your rolls here. We might need to use a spreadsheet on something like Google Docs for the character sheets. I'll look into it.
I think that is everything good to go. We'll need to come up with some way of presenting that information on an alias. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, these boards don't allow for good table building, so we may just have to go with how Megan has it listed. Not ideal, but readable.
I should have my rolls up soon. Is it OK to use the dice roller here?
Absolutely, Torillan, it'll be how we deal with it in the game.
Hi All!
When you create an Alias, you get a 'blank' area that you can copy in all sorts of information.
To make it 'cleaner' you can use /Spoiler/ tags to put the information into chunks that can be viewed or hidden.
I'll post my alias Tusk that I use in a DnD game as an example. Note that if you don't fill in the Characteristic boxes on the Alias then they won't appear when you look up your character.
Click on Tusk for a sample of how you can list information in the Alias.

This is Smerg and Max Fire is my Halfling Alias. Let me know if everything looks fine and if I need to make any alterations or you'd like any changes made to the background to fit in better with your planned story.
Yes Cros, please feel free to post your character. Looking good Smerg, I will post the background to the adventure later. Your current background will mesh just fine.
Adventure Background
Following the aftermath of the war already being dubbed "the Storm of Chaos", led by Archaon, the Lord of the End Times, you find yourself in the township of Untergard which is not far from the city of Middenheim.
Your reason for being in Untergard may be one of many but regardless you find yourself in the celebrations being hosted after the Chaos warband, led by Beastmen, has been chased off by Count Boris Todbringer.
I will post a player thread once we have at least one more player. Just wanted to differentiate between background and my own comments.
Having been a Mercenary, it certainly fits that I was part of the forces gathered and paid to fight off the Storm of Chaos. I will choose to be part of the forces gathered to fight off the Chaos and am just lingering along with the celebrations.
The Bloodbowl season has been terribly disrupted but with the Chaos sent off, I am sure there are more than a few people running an unofficial pitch near the city.
I'll say that I'm looking to get involved with any unofficial 'street' games by celebrants or just offering to help with any of the cooking for any 'tailgate' type parties being held.
I worked with a Tilean mercenary group out Tilea (where else ;>).
Anyone else that I might have known from working in the mercenaries or defending Untergard? If not that then someone who is a Bloodbowl fan or might just like to hang around a pitch to get a couple of hots in the celebration fever?
Just let me know if you want to join up your background a bit with mine by having come across each other.
For combat skill, I am mostly a sling user but I was issued a crossbow for firing on the line in support of the main company.
I figure that I probably earn a few silvers on the road hunting with my sling to catch a few game that I then served up cooked to soldiers that don't want to trust what mystery meat is in the pot this week.
This is Cros here and Viktor is my alias. He is a human squire.
Post Chaos band, it isn't always easy to find stuff.
But I do have a good pot of beans and sausages cooking. I wouldn't swear as to what meat is in the sausages but the beans are good. The ale is better to go with it. Warm and Frothy.
These are my rolls for a Human, called Johann von Smittstein.

Description
Height 5’ 9”
Bald headed with brown eyes.
Dark red facial tattoos
Age = 19
Birth place : small village called Gluckshalt, just a few miles west of Altdorf.
I will post under a different avatar for Johann as well. Will also supply some background info.
Johann grew up not far from Altdorf. He was raised by his grandfather who was the local Sigmarite priest. Johanns parents were both murdered by beastmen whilst traveling home from a produce fair in Altdprf when he was only five years old.
During the recent war he served as the nominated protector of the village shrine., but saw no action. Recently he has been having disturbing dreams and seeing what he believes to be omens which he has interpreted as instruction to make the journey here.
You gotta little mistake there. You can only take free advance +5% in Main Profile or +1 in Secondary. By the way, are we playing with basic or advanced actions/armor?
Well spotted. Wounds should say +1 free advance (13).
What is next?
Apologies, I was called away for the weekend, doesn't happen often. OK, I believe we have enough player characters now. I'm en route home at the moment and shall have the game thread up tonight. I am GMT just so you folks know.
And it lives!
Please make your way over there and start RPing! We'll make dice rolls in the thread, so to do so please use the following format:
which was created by using the following, without spaces:

Posted. Glad we are underway!!
Indeed; I'll hold off on advancing the adventure too far until we have more folks signed in.
