Ok, here is the latest. I've had two more players request slots.
IF.... Katana doesn't post and secure her slot by 12:00 Midnight CST tonight, we are going to move on.
Tailspinner and Swashbuckler have both asked for characters.
If Kitana posts, I'll also take the next one of you two who posts. Kit gets first choice of the remaining PCs.
If she doesn't post before Midnight, I'll take both of you and the PCs will be selected on a first come first serve basis.

... Character III is the one I was going to ask for anyhow! LOL!
I have the Midnight Campaign book, as well as Against the Shadow supplement, but I have not even looked at Crown of Shadows yet.
I'll check back at ... <gasp!> Midnight!

tick, tock....
It'd be good to have you on board guys, plus we can beat up on Tailspinner if he's too rough on us in "In the company of legates"...

Character Description:
Kal stands 5'11" tall, has blond hair and striking blue eyes, weighing around 200lbs. at age 21. He has a tanned, muscular frame, hardened from his father's blacksmithing trade, but he is still relatively quick on his toes. He's never been a genius, but he's no slouch, either. He has good common sense.
Kal has always looked to the future. Something inside him keeps telling him that there is more to this life than swinging a hammer in a forge, something beyond the yolk of oppression that all the people live under. He feels a bravery within himself, but it has yet to surface.
Background: Born in the year 78 of the Third Age as the first born son of a blacksmith, Kal spent much of his childhood in his father’s forge. As soon as he was old enough to swing a hammer, he began helping his father run his business. He was content, very much at home in his small village. That is, until he fell in with Aeren.
He listened to Aeren’s grand ideas of heroism and glory, but he never really dwelled on it. However, it was enough to get him to sign on as one of the village’s guardsmen. It didn’t take long for Kal to realize the job of a guardsman was both boring and thankless. Nothing interesting ever happened. Occasionally an orc patrol would come through, but the usually passed without incident. Now, Kal regrets ever joining up for the guard, even though it is only for a couple hours each day.
Recent Events: Kal was with Aeren the day they encountered the orc patrol. When the two orcs came after them, he hesitated a moment thinking he should stand his ground. Aeren talked him out of it, and for that he is grateful.
He longs for something more in his life, but rejects Aeren’s farfetched fantasies of adventure and glory. Thankfully, Aeren has been far less enthusiastic since their encounter with the orcs. Unfortunately, this has put a damper on both of their spirits and Kal has become frustrated with the lack of direction in his life.
Just after his encounter with the orc, he told his lieutenant, Choric, about the incident. Choric simply told him to stay within the village and put him to work making repairs to the wall.

Cool. Looks like we have a full cast.
Once all of the characters are posted in the Rogues Gallary, I'll set up the IC thread.
Be sure to change the "Character #" references in your backgrounds. All the characters should be named now.

Weapon Proficiency: Light Mace, Improvised Weapon
Possessions: Three sets of clothes, three pairs of boots, wool cloak, leather cloak, torch x 2, lamp w/ oil (2 pints), small sack, fur blanket, flint & steel
Background: Born in the year 79 of the Third Age as the first born son of a guardsman, Choric was always the leader. It didn’t matter what the activity, Choric always took control. He wasn’t a bully. It just seemed that others naturally differed to him.
When he turned sixteen, he joined the village guard. Like his father, the Captain of the Guard, he began climbing the ranks quickly. It could have been said that his father showed favoritism to his son, but those who knew him knew that this was far from the truth. In fact, his father was harder on Choric than any other guardsman. Anyone who spent any time around Choric knew why the other guards listened to him. He was insightful, sympathetic, and a brilliant tactician.
Choric sees the protection of the village as his personal duty. He is very honorable, and hates to see anyone suffer. However, those caught doing wrong should face the full wrath of the law. In a world like this, humankind must stick together if they ever hope to achieve freedom from the Shadow.
Choric hates the Shadow and everything it stands for, but he knows one man can’t make a difference and has decided that he can at least do his part by protecting his home. To better protect his home he has carefully trained himself to fight with a number of non-conventional weapons. Thereby he can make just about anything into a weapon.
Recent Events: Several months ago a stranger came to the village and Choric decided he would watch her. After a few weeks he caught her actually wielding magic. But instead of turning her in, he was intrigued. During the last two months Choric has slowly been learning bits and pieces from the strange woman who calls herself Char. He is learning of the magical art and of how to make alchemical substances. Because he has little free time it has been a slow and methodical process. But, just yesterday Char told him he was very close to reaching his goal. Perhaps with this new talent he has awakened he can better protect his village.
Choric was ranked to lieutenant just over a week ago. He has three men under him, one of which is Kal Tyrgen, a young boy about the same age as Choric. Kal Tyrgen claims that he and a friend were almost murdered by a pair of orcs outside of town. Choric isn’t sure he believes him, but they deserved a good scare for being foolish enough to wander out of the village.
Also, he has seen the herbalist and his niece (Ilsha Vonev) skulking about more than once in the last few days. They leave the village for extended lengths of time and seem suspicious when asked where they went. They claim to be gathering herbs, but seem nervous when confronted. Choric hopes to discover what the two of them are hiding.
Also, lately his will to protect the village has felt almost supernatural. It is as if he is destined to protect. He cannot quite put a finger on what it is that he is feeling.

Ok. Just waiting on Toki to get his character in the RG and we'll be ready.
Once he does, I'll edit the character post above to shorten this thread.
Sir Osis, you need to edit your background and add names instead of the placeholders.
