Finally got my cookies cleared up, apparently.
I am so very very in for this game!
Seems like the only claimed bits so far are the magister for certain, runethane for possible.
I'd really like to try out a Mageblade. I'm thinking I'll go with Sibeccai, just because. I've never really considered one, so it seems like it would work for me.
Basic character outline: He was originally the guardian of a mid level Magister, one of little influence or power, but the daughter of an influential noble. After a few months of routine duties (basically playing escort for the giantess as she travelled from library to library), she began to notice that Anhra was easily able to grasp even highly complex theories of magic when she would discuss them with her peers, even making occasional insights that she had not made. He Anhra wasn't particularly smart, but he was able to understand magic. After several more weeks of careful probing, she decided that the Sibeccai did in fact have a magical talent deep inside him. She did all she could to bring it out, but was unsuccessful. After several months of trying, she finally gave up, and turned Anhra over to her father's house, who quickly recognized his abilities as being more suited to the pursuit of the arcane warrior. Anhra quickly took to the study, and was soon put to much better use than simple guard duty....
I'm thinking he'll take Heavy Exotic Weapon and Ambidexterity to start, and eventually end up using a sword-staff, just because it seems amusing to have a mageblade with his athame as a sword-staff (only one side would be the athame, I'd assume), to challenge the magisters.
