Once the last character is posted, I'll start working on the actual initial post, just a notice for the participants of this topic.

On another note, feel free to include a link to your character's image if appropriate in their topic (Jacob Schmidt's is a reasonable example) - I was primarily more referring to avoiding anime-ish art but never specified that now that I've re-read it. I myself included a sketch done of my character's alternate form.

I advise everyone reads over the profiles to know as players how to treat things (self implosion of a group is never fun) between characters and still enjoy themselves.
