Quick question about Pretorian appearance, hair colour, eye colour, and clothing.

Archons are always golden-blonde females with emerald-green eyes. Non-archon Praetors are never blonde, and certainly they never build their Plebs to be blonde either. Instead their hair tends to be brown, bronze, pure white, silver, or copper coloured. There are five social strata for the Praetors (completely ruled by genetics; you can view them as actually having three sex chromosomes instead of a pair, with different combinations resulting in the different strata): starting with Archons, Male High Praetorians, Female High Praetorians, Male Low Praetorians, Female Low Praetorians, with Plebs despite being viewed as objects (which in many sense they are) are able to rise as high as the spot between male and female high praetorians. Since Archons are extremely rare, this creates the odd phenomenon that while society is ultimately ruled by a group of females, almost all females are subjugated beneath their husbands on social grounds (Archons do not marry; they can generally have any man they want, anyways). Non-Archon Praetorian eyes tend to be metallic in colour, although a rare few Praetors in the male High-Praetorian status have colourful eyes, like sapphire-blue or ruby-red (never green though), and these tend to be favoured boy-toys for the archons.

As for clothing, it depends on social strata; varying from the stereotypical centurion armour worn not just by Centurions but also by many High Praetorians to symbolise martial strength to the drab modest and covering garb worn by the lower classes, to the revealing toga-like gowns worn by Archons and those High-Praetorians who wish to emphasise their grace and diplomacy over martial prowess.

Oh, and in case you're upset that my support for you and for Seeten has been a little slow, if (when?) you join my new recruiting thread tomorrow and I'm done my paper (which I'll be done before I put the thread up), I'll have more time to work on it for you

I'd rather you were concentrating on the players than the alternates, to be honest. *chuckle* That opinion wont change when I am the player, instead of the alternate.

Good, that's my feeling too

Will the people who have said "Me, Me, Me" get preference in the recruiting thread, like the last one?

You mean will the ones who ask for more info get more answers? Yup. My weird honour code on ENWorld, which has netted me all these posts, is that I won't annoy people by barraging them with stuff if they aren't talking to me, but also I will do my darnedest not to let a single question or comment sent specifically to me go unanswered if I can. I also try to use a First in First Out method modified to do the quickest assignments first, if one of them is long, so that I can get out as many things as possible as quickly as possible.

Anyways, that's my weird method.

If you meant who gets to be in the game. I'm going to go with whoever signs up first except that the two alternates to this game automatically get in, no matter what, since they didn't make it in this one (and with twelve spots to split to two games, there should be plenty of room, I think)

I know...the support has been so slow.

Initially I was requesting info in case anyone disappeared and I needed to come in, I was worried about khavren there for a while, but then I just couldn't get enough.
