Welcome to the party.
Definitely looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!
Thanks!Welcome to the party.
Alright, so I've looked over everything, and rolled up some raw stats. I was thinking rogue, but I'm not sure how ideal two rogues would be. Or, perhaps that is the best/worst possible idea ever? Could make for some interesting scenes, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I was going to play a rogue out of desperation (with things as crazy as they are now), more than inherent rogue-ness.
Let me know if anyone has an issue with that.
Play the character you want to play. Who knows where the game will go, but it's more likely to last if everyone's got the most buy-in possible.
We'll make it work! (my opinion only, obviously)

I think it will be fine with a rogue since we don't have a true rogue, we have a cleric with criminal skills. so you won't be stepping on toes I think.
However, if that's not what you want to play you can play anything you want.

So, we don't have a *true* rogue, like Dream66 said, just a former criminal who's become a cleric.
Play the character you want to play or the one that sounds the most interesting.
Also, in the interest of clarity, I've added 'OOC' to this threads' title.
I've decided that I will play a Lightfoot Halfling Rogue. Just filling out my sheet now. Should have something done by tomorrow. It's 80% done now. Just need to fix it up tomorrow.
Edit:
That's actually pretty interesting. I feel like my concept is going in the reverse direction, and I love that. I want to play a rogue that only does it out of necessity. Could make an interesting fight with his conscience.

First go-over looks good, background stuff is fine to post here (i'm sure everyone can separate PC knowledge from player Knowledge). I didn't see Personality trait, ideals, bonds, or flaws in your post. If you haven't chosen those or, for some reason, didn't post them, please add at your convenience.
