A note on Cloistered Cleric: I don't remember cloistered cleric in the sources I listed. It is also morning and I am still sleepy, so I could be screwed up. But if not, I am going to nix the cloistered cleric route. Sorry.
A note on Vow of Peace: I will not nix this idea, JohnnyFive, but I think your other idea about the Church Inquisition PrC fits better with the party and my thoughts on the upcoming game as a DM. I listed that one below, but I will not nix the Vow of Peace. It just will be difficult for you if you choose it.
Note to doghead: I did not include you on the list because it seemed like you were more interested in a wilderness game. If that is an error, please accept my apologies and let me know.
Okay, so - list of potential characters:
Eonthar - Unknown/unknown but interest expressed
Ferrix - Female unknown/Cleric of Pelor
Engrishonly - Unknown/"Zealot-type"
Eluvan - Unknown/Cleric OR Unknown/Ranger-Ranger (PHB Races all accepted as printed in PHB)
Johnnyfive - Aetos/Paladin-Rogue (Headed for Shadowbane Inquisitor)
Bront - Bous/Monk (VoP approved - especially given the race it makes sense)
Fenris - Unknown/Unknown
Okay, that gives 7, so I am going to oficially close the openings. Noting a lack of someone desiring to DM, I'll take it so we move forward. We'll go with the homebrew world. I'll post much more info later in about 5-6 hours when I get back from work. For now, though, we have work to do regarding race/class of the characters.
First question first - we need to settle on a god. I haven't heard any objections to Pelor, but now is the time to speak.
[Sblock]
Code:
Altua F LG Longsword
Bahamut M LG Heavy Pick
Delleb M LG Dart
Heironeous M LG Longsword
Moradin M LG Warhammer
Pholtus M LG Quarterstaff
Rao M LG Light Mace
Yondalla F LG Short Sword
Ehlonna F NG Longbow
Garl Glittergold M NG Battleaxe
Pelor M NG Heavy Mace
Syreth M NG Heavy Mace
[/Sblock]
Assuming it worked, above is a list of deities if the party would prefer to go with another besides Pelor. I will state that for the purpose of this game, we should all settle on one. [Oh, list is combined from PHB, CD, XPH, and BoED - Only LG and NG deities presented] Barring no objections, Pelor it is. If there are objections, as I said before now is the time to speak.
Second question is on character starting level/wealth. I've heard no objections to 4, so let's go with that. As I said with Eluvan, anyone desiring to start lower can retain their level 4 starting wealth status but take a cut in XP. If we have a significant party size that might not be as big of a deal as with a small party.
Third question is on party size. This is where I leave it up to the players hands. I know people go on vacations and have lives on the weekends. So do I, actually!

Having said that let me also say I don't mind taking out a party of 7 players as long as everyone posts when they can. Online, I've found that big parties imply that everyone take up the banner of RP and conversation because there is simply too many people for the DM to have NPCs initiate alot of the RP. So here's my third question - By continuing in this thread you are agreeing to post whenever possible (once a day required). If you can't do that on a regular basis, please say so. There is no shame in saying so at all.
Fourth question is really not a big deal, but I'll get it out there anyway. With a large party we should all settle in on a color for indicating speech. [Please see the games in my sig above for examples of how conversation/thoughts/actions are posted. It is pretty normal, but ...] I lay stake to the following colors:
Sienna is used when the party splits up.
Medium Turquoise is used when I have an Sblock for certain characters only.
Lime is general NPC speech.
Olive is special NPC speech. I tried to leave most of the other favorites (red, yellow, gray, orange, blue) open. However, if you would, please lay stake to a color.
I think that will do it for now. If possible, respond to each of the above four questions and settle in on a race/class.
Oh, racial tensions in my homebrow are extremely eased. There is no inherant hatred between elves and dwarves, for example. Humans (and therefore Drakontai and even a few Elans) dominate the population by far, but most towns are very well mixed racial. Dwarves still tend to live underground, so they can be a bit segregated (although they live with gnomes, too). But for the most part, racial tension will not play a large part of this game (except in the case of a ranger's favored enemy, of course.)

*Note to Wilderness players: If I am DMing the religious game, I won't have time to DM the wilderness game. However, if someone else wants to DM please take it up. It looks like there are enough players to make it work. I'll play if there is a spot open - I just can't DM both.
