Ok, this was really hard as there were a lot of really good submissions, so hard that i decided to take an extra person into the group. To those that didnt make it I really enjoyed reading your submissions and if a spot opens up I will be happy to have you resubmit a character.
Now as for the group, here it is:
Alaric Winter (Preselcted) Sorcerer,
Ry (Preselected) Druid,
Tessara (New) Ranger,
Smendor (New) Fighter,
Leto (New) Summoner,
Tiny Cofee Golem (New) Jedi/Cleric or Staff Magus/Cleric
I myself will be playing an NPC, named Brett. But he will be a supporting player mainly, now that we have a crew.
The plan is to start playing by Sunday night. You each will be getting a "signature item" forwarded on to your character soon. Once I see your backstory and characters posted you're on board, and I will have your item to you in a day or so. The hope is we will start on Sunday. Check out this link here for the game.

Yay! I made it! In actuality I wasn't planning on multiclassing. My original idea was either Staff magus (jedi) OR Fire cleric. Although now that you mention it I could incorporate both to a degree. Staff magus/cleric could be a badass combo with the personality of a Jedi could be really badass. Hummm. Too bad Mystic theurge only increases caster level. *brain wheels turning*
I like a challenge. I'm going to go with the Staff Magus with a Jedi feel. He may dip a level or two into monk at later levels. We'll see how the build goes.
Does that still work of was my acceptance based on the Cleric idea? If so then I'll go Cleric (fire/air) who uses a staff as a primary weapon and He may take a dip into fighter or ranger for added flavor.
Sounds good. Just throw up your final character on the formal site mentioned above (below?) this link.

Groovy. I'll go with the Staff Magus. I'll have to build it tomorrow as time permits. Will probably be during my Statistics class. Gotta have priorities after all. lol.

Hey, statistics is the backbone of this entire game. After all "Every action has a 5% chance of total success, and 5% chance of utter failure."

Based on that train of logic Statistics is the backbone of everything. Just look up the chances of being struck by lightning twice!
working out the character in my head during class. I may not have it by saturday night, but I will try. It'll be done by sunday night at latest.
Ryuko here with stats, character sheets and everything finished for Leto and Tabak. I've posted over in the IC thread to, waiting for tonight for things to get kicked off.
This is Tiny Coffee Golem,
here is my placeholder character with name and picture. I'm thinking of making him half Orc with the pass for human feat. So as far as the public is concerned he's just an ugly human. I'll build the rest as time permits.
I've made some serious headway on my character including his backstory see the link below. I ran out of inspiration on the last part of the history, but I'll finish it out as the muses allow.
I'm not going to have time to finish the Survey, but I'll get it sunday.
