What would you like to see first (and scond, ans do on) I'll do that first. I'm working on the saints right now, but I need to make up 21 stories, one for every saint. I do 't think that is very important for your char anyway.

Maybe some more about the relations between houses.

Oh and Rino, I'm sorry, but I saw jemal wanted cantaur first. Could you pick another house plz?

Could everyone still looking forward to this game plz post, so I can see what players for what houses we have exactly.

I'm thinking of doing the current relation ships between the houses, and a bit about the current ruler of house Taurus. that information ahould come in handy.

If Rino wants to be the druid, he can take it.. What other houses are there left right now? I'll select from one of them, b/c it doesn't really matter to me, I like all the classes (Ok, except for wizards).
I'ld prefer to wait instead of starting right away, so that's my vote. If we do start sooner though, I'll survive.

I'm playing House Vela.

I think the relationships between the houses and some other influential people/groups in the city would be the first order of business.

Jemal, only Ara is still available, all other houses are taken

I'll make up the city and some groups, and will make up the relations after that. I'lla lso note any other nation wide groups of interest, although this city is the largest by far and every self respecting organization has a hold here.

what else?

He Created The World Of Atlas. Around The World Of Atlas He Created 8 Planes. Goodness, Evil, Law, Chaos, Fire, Air, Water And Earth. He Putted Everyone Who Had A Place In His Stories On The World Of Atlas. All Of His Stories Will Eventually Become Reality. He Has Not For seen All Events, For That Would Make A Boring Story, But All The Important Decisions Someone Makes, Are Allured Made For Them.

While sketching out my character I was thinking about languages. What would the nobles speak, the commoners, how about seperate national languages since we are all playing humans. I would recommend that the nobles speak, say 'High Farnese' the commons various local dialects that may need their own language slots.

My House, Vela, should have access to the languages of the Eastern Empire. Maybe an official Church language (like Latin in the Middle Ages).
