Sounds good to me. If nothing else, give a little personal time for my character to get a good idea of what I want to do with his personality and get it tweaked.

Domino has changed his idea to a Dawn-caste Solar with a pretty cool back story. He's basically going for a bulky melee powerhouse.

Yeah, it'll be a better backstory when I can write it all out. But it'd be such a long post, I just gave you the bare bones... XD. I was giving both as an option, but I guess if the Dawn caste works better than Night caste, that's fine.
Pretty much designed him as heavier soldier. Taking heavy inspiration from the Dynasty Warriors games. Someone looking to forge alliances, build trust throughout creation, before eventually raising an army to conquer the blessed isle and take control of the Realm. (may open possibilities of a few war parts for us, or it could be something that happens after the game ends if we don't want to bother with it.)

Oh! A sheet I dug up from an old campaign that I enjoyed.
Quicksilver Whirlwind Mask of the Opal Skies Name: Iselsi Kelol Concept: Cunning Spy of the Iselsi Family

A sleeper agent of the Iselsi, Kelol was planted within a village which the V'neef had long ago discovered was the location of a dangerous, impossible-to-penetrate cache of First Age artifacts. The Iselsi family discovered this location and knew that, in a moment of desperation, V'neef was sure to turn to the cache as a source of power. It was at that time that Quicksilver Whirlwind Mask would reveal himself and make himself invaluable to the team sent to penetrate the cache, earning a position in their circle and snatching a victory from the V'neef and their older brothers, the Cathak, that would redeem the dwindling family and give them a sword to hang over the head of their rivals. Perhaps, they thought, the relics within would even rival those in the great palace... What a reversal it would be, for the disgraced hidden servants of the empress to suddenly take the throne. With the throne vacant, Kelol knows it will only be a matter of time before he finally gets to make his move.

I guess I could post some more info on my character, to help give more of an idea of what iv submitted. Maybe it might help the rest of us finalize and get this adventure on the road!
Background of the character is this: He was born to one of the noble houses (Ledall), exalted and was chased off into the south where he worked as a sell-sword for a few years. Stumbled across a solar manse hidden in the sands, branded the solar symbol on his forehead and changed his name to represent a new start on his life.
Now he seeks to claim the Scarlet throne, worrying the realm will fall apart if someone else claims it (not trusting the other houses), but knows he can't do it alone. So he is now questing across Creation, forming alliances and building trust, to one day draw them all together and take the blessed isle and the throne by force.

Wow, he's going to play hilariously with the Radiant Pyre [it's longer than that, but yeah]. Seeing as HIS goal is the destruction of all society and the establishment of a world where each person gets their own self-contained, self-destructive paradise. Assuming I use him and not one of my other characters. But at the very least I'm tossing up his sheet. I like the character too much at this point.

Hmm... I could imagine those two getting along JUST enough to work together. Each using the other to use their abilities to further their own goals while trying to convince the other of the merits of their belief system.
Kind of a Law and Chaos sort of relationship.

Yeah, I figure they'd play off each other hilariously. A little inter-party debate is always good times.

I was randomly inspired with elements for the first adventure. I'm going to begin with an in media res encounter, then lead into the main adventure, and then go from there. I have a lot of random story hooks and things I want to do already, so that's going to be fun. I like the world of Creation, it's really deep enough and based on enough diverse things to have its own feel while still tapping into classic themes.
Also...what if you guys were all drawn to each other because you knew each other in past lives (and may have been part of a First Age Solar Circle)? Then, through seemingly contrived coincidences, you end up pairing up in some crises, and then both groups come together in search of one thing? Both Playah and Wildknight's characters seem interested in the pursuit of knowledge, perhaps they both ended up finding Domino's character's manse at the same time? And maybe Thuellai's character was scouting the place out as a potential lair and didn't realize it was already occupied until it was too late?
Also, might write up a sample Alchemical character. I sort of want to make either an HK-47 Soulsteel caste or an honorable Optimus Prime/Megaman-inspired Orichalcum caste.

-Nods- There are so many different plot points capable of being run in this game... It makes me want to look for several games to join.
The way Creation is set up, it's believable to transition from a very DNDesque party fight vs Monsters, to a Wuxia-like encounter, to a wild west fashioned showdown, to a high seas adventure, to something straight out of Sci Fi.
If it's cool with the others, it works for me. Hell, it could happen right after Regal makes his pledge and brands himself... Right before he is ready to leave the manse.

I love the idea of my guy being all out to prey on others and steal this manse for himself as a lair, and then somehow stumbling into a sort of uneasy alliance with you guys for no reason he can adequately explain to himself. It's bizarrely appropriate for the character, too, since a lot of his more selfish behaviors come from his resentment of his own dependency on others.

Also, I have a thread up. If we've more or less agreed on a sheet, feel free to post it!
