Sorry about the process not being clear. I'm making it up as I go along. Right now, we are choosing which character we want to be the first in the campaign. I think I need to figure out the process a little bit. For now, this selection is not RP. The other characters will be woven into the first character's story. There are some rp ways to to it, and some non rp.
I think the first choice of character will really affect the campaign direction. Icosa comes with a background of ancient mystery, an dolls us into the ramifications of the past as a theme. The Scholar sort of fits my assumptions of explorations a bit. Kumais a good character, but I'm not reading as much of a hook for building a campaign.
My vote is The scholar, but Icosa is a close second. Everyone has till Monday afternoon to change there votes,and Shayuri does get to vote.
