[QUOTE="Zurai, post: 3868647, member: 52324"] <drumroll> OK, here we go. I ended up with 10 extremely strong candidates and I've spent the last two hours making some hard choices. In the end, I have to turn down 4 players, not through any fault of their own, but simply because I cannot run a 10-character game :confused: Without further ado, here are the 6 players for the first generation and their characters (in no particular order): [B]Shayuri[/B] - playing Erin, the Sorceress weaver/herder/cook [b]Lorthanoth[/b] - playing Alistia, the Commoner baker/brewer [b]Masquerade[/b] - playing Cleyra Tauwesh, the Marshal farmer [b]Dire Lemming[/b] - playing Enko, the Spirit Shaman (blackfrond) healer/herbalist [b]Nac Mac Feegle[/b] - playing Thane, the Scout//Adept bowyer/fletcher [b]WarShrike[/b] - playing Ryon Wolfheart, the Ranger animal handler Congratulations, you six! I sincerely apologize to the four remaining players who submitted character backgrounds.
