Alright, so it looks like there is definatly enough interest 
So far for players I think we have:
Ilium - Computer Science graduate, maybe with a concentration in robotics
Ferrix - ancient historian or a cryptologist.
GoblinMasquerade -
Land Outcast -
thoumaster -
Falkus - rookie security guard or police officer
Percivellian -
iwatt - College student who made into college on a sports scholarship.
Nobody is tied to these ideas yet though, feel free to edit them as you see fit.
Also, welcome to the beautiful campus of the University of Pennsylvania, located in down town Philadelphia.
Is asking for character sheets and backgrounds to be posted by monday give you guys enough time?
I really (really) like little touches on the characters like Ilium's battlebots idea and that sort of thing. The more details you create about your character the better. Other than that, feel free to throw some more ideas around; I like what I've seen so far.

A couple more random thoughts while I'm thinking about them.
I think I'd like to do the dice rolling. (So during the game, just post the skill / attack modifier or whatever, and I'll give you the results in my next post)
I really like this version of the mSRD.

Like Ilium was talking about the maps, I think one of the strengths of a pbp game is the ease in which we can incorporate visual cues. Often we see people picking a colour for their character's voice, what about also posting some sort of head shot of their "character portrait" with each post too.
Feel free to use pictures of actors / paintings / whatever picture you think best represents your character.
Spoiler shows the code I used.

I was thinking about a middle-aged man, owner of a junk disposal yard with a weakness for classical music...
He's actually a frustrated engeneer, and now he's got the money he's back to college, going about on his own things most of the time, sour towards most other people
*they sure look at me and think... I know what they think*
Oh, he's also quite caring of his business, so he phones daily to the guy he left in charge.
-not sure how that looks

Maybe I'll base something off my med student friends. A Chinese naturopathic doctor student who practices Capoeira, or something.

Enrico Contessi
Born in Northern Italy, Enrico moved with his family to Philadelphia when he turned fifteen. But as a typical italian lad, Enrico's first passion had always been Calcio, also known as Soccer by the barbarians. A talented midfielder, Enrico was able to choose between different universities that offered him scholarships. Raised in a deeply catholic environment, it was his parent's hope he would choose to enter Georgetown, and maybe continue into a Seminar. In a fit of teenage rebellion, Enrico enrolled into the University of Pennsylvania, a secular institution. Although interested in History and Theology and Philosophy, Enrico probably won't enter into the clergy, although he still remains deeply comitted to his faith. A natural linguist, Enrico has picked up some languages.
In the soccer field, Enrico is reknown by his uncanny ability to avoid opposing players and the vicious tackles they try against him. He developed this ability in the soccer fileds of Italy, and it has held him in good stead in his college career.
Enrico also inherited a second Italian passion, fast cars. Unfortunately, he is strapped for funds and is trying to talk some college friends into buying a car with him. He has his eye set on an old mustang, but it will need a lot of fixing up.
EDIT: Focused my skills better. Went with Increased Speed instead.
