I would love to get in on this game if at all possible and here is a rogue to think about. I might expand on this a little more as I toss the story about in my head.
I so can not wait to get out of this town. I am tired of mines, tired of this filth and tired of having to lick the boot heel of the mine managers. Heh heh I wonder if they will ever find out I am actually working for all of them. They always want to find out what is going on with each other and I happily feed them this information for a price. The problem is they are such cheap bastards that they don't give me a whole lot of coin to live on, especially when I have to pay out a lot to keep my butt in the clear. One of these days I will find something useful in this backwater town to make even the managers fear me. I hope to be able run this town one day and then all of them can lick my boot heels.
Hell, I am not even from this town but my family and I were passing through on our way to Greyhawk when we stopped in this town for a few weeks as my father had some business to attend to. We stayed a few weeks too long as the plague struck and my entire family was killed because of it. I was the only one it seemed to not touch and with my family dead I found myself taken in at the Able Carter Coaching Inn. At first I thought things were going well till I found out I was raised to basically be their indentures servant as my father owed the owner something. He decided to take his payment by having me serve him until he said so. The only good thing about this is I learned a lot from everyone who came and went through those doors and I learned to fade into the background so people would not even see me and not guard their so called private talks.
I think the most important thing I learned was that information was valuable to the right person and that the shadows were your best friends. I tended to always stay in the shadows so my "owner" tacked that name on me one day and I liked it. Here is hoping that one day I will make it out of here but for now I will just have to make do.
One day though....

I'd be interested in playing as well. I just signed up here at Enworld, and have been waiting a few days for a game to pop up that started at lvl 1. I've never played on a message board before, but its why I signed up.
As far as a character goes, after reading the background story you wrote up, I was thinking either a human sorceror, who is the son of one of the merchants supplying the town. Alternatively, I also thought about dwarven warrior. The son of one of the dwarves working at the dwarven mine (or the mine owner himself?), he grew up becoming defensive and protective because of the lowlifes that live in the town.
Whichever you like better or fits better with whats going on. I'd honestly just like a chance to play. Give me some feedback and I can expand on these rough outlines.

I am also interested, just need some time to write up a concept

Saterus: I am always willing to give someone new a shot, so feel free to pick either one of those concepts and run with it. I am going to choose the chars I think capture the feel of the game, not what will complete the "core" group needed. Elocin gave a great example of the concept I am looking for. Something that gives the history, and also shows the motivation of the char.
Do that, and you will have as good a chance as anyone else who throws their name in the hat.
Good luck and welcome to the boards.

A solid concept, and if you want to expand more, feel free, but if you want to stop there for now, that is cool as well.
I might expand some more on the concept (like with some actual names and such) or fix my horrible writing as I did not go back over my typing and I am bound to type some things that just won't make any sense. It is a little late here (11 PM) and I should have gone to bed as I was falling alseep while watching The Family Guy but the computer called to me and I am glad it did. I do get Dungeon and I usually read them cover to cover but I am also very good at splitting what my character knows and what I know. If I am picked for this thread I will cease reading those adventures.
Also thank you for the kind words so far concerning my character.

I know alot of the people on the boards read the magazine, and while I know there might be some bleedover, however accidental it might be, I will be okay with it. Know if you tell me that you know for a fact that there is "x" door here which holds "y" treasure inside of it. Then I will have issues..
Get some rest and take your time, it will be Fri at the earliest that I make the pics.
And you're welcome..
