Thanks for the offer to help with the character stuff, but I think I shold be able to get it done, especially since I will have internet access immediately when I get there, so at most I lose the half day I spen traveling and unpacking, plus the time I spend packing. I think I can get it done, but I will certainly keep your offer in mind Casar.
I've gone over roughly half of the characters and have started posting the names of the ones which I have gone over. I have, regretably made a couple of mistakes, which is bound to happen, but I have also corrected a mistake or two in the characters, so it all evens out.
