I've been thinking about this adventure.
If I can come up with a solid character approach I want to take, I'll let you know before we start on Monday the 1st.
I'll think this week and see if I can improve on the ideas that have come to mind so far.

Ok, here's my character draft. The character I'm playing is Black Mage from 8-bit Theater, a Final Fantasy themed webcomic.
The character write-up is mostly complete. I think all I need to do to finish it up is to decide if I want more perform abilities, and decide on the spells.
So here's the stats/background/etc. Kal, if anything needs to be revised just tell me. I'll post to the Rogue's Gallery thread once I have a more finalized version.
Suggesstions, comments, corrections, and constructive criticisms in general are are helpful and would be appreciated.

8-bit character template
The 8-bit character template represents characters from the great webcomic 8-bit Theater. 8-bit characters are usually caricatures or stereotypes of a particular idea.
-4 to two appropriate stats (str and cha for Black Mage)
+6 to one stat (int for Black Mage)
Favored Class changes to: Starting Class (Wizard for Black Mage)
Everything else unchanged
(thanks to Sollir for the idea for this)

Black Mage
Black Mage is a physical weakling, though he can really absorb damage. He is almost entirely socially inept, and is very, very intelligent. This has also led to high levels of insanity, ranging from being a psychopath, paranoia, megalomania, and delusions of grandeur. He has a habit of regarding the best solution to anything as the solution which involves the most burning destruction, and tends to create problems just so he can solve them. Who knows why he even tolerates the rest of humanity. Maybe he's looking for ultimate power, or just wants more pie. Also see the 8-bit Theater cast page.

Shadowmask
Level: Hrp 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Duration: 10 min/level
You cause a mask of shadows to form around your face. It does not impede your vision, cannot be physically removed, completely hides your features, and protects you against certain attacks.
You receive a +4 bonus on saving throws against light or darkness spells and any spells that rely on bright light for damaging effects, such as the flare spel or the fireworks effect of pyrotechnics.
You also gain a 50% chance each round to avoid having to make a saving throw against gaze attacks, just as if you averted your eyes.
If you avert your eyes while using shadow mask, you get to check twice to see if you avoid having to make the saving throw
When the duration ends, the shadow mask fades over the course of 1d4 rounds (rather than immediately), giving you time to keep your face hidden via other means. A sucessful dispel magic cast against a shadow mask effectively ends the spell and causes the same slow fading.
The character write-up is mostly complete. I think all I need to do to finish it up is to decide if I want more perform abilities, and decide on the spells.

So Sollir and Graydoom are 8-Bit Theatre fans... Cool...
After I get my adobe acrobat CD back from my friend who borrowed it, Brian (from 8-bit) agreed to post my Final Fantasy Tactics Expansion onto the 8-Bit Theatre board. Should generate some hype at least. It is a good file. Maybe you all will get to see it. It is quite good looking, but there are bugs in it I know about but have not fixed so far. It's only version 1.1 afterall.
Wait, just found it, here is his quote:
