Okay, let's see if I can sort this out. 

1. Allie is accepted. I'll add her to the list. 
2. I'm expecting ShadowVentus to show up at some point in the near future, so I might not be able to answer questions about open spaces reliably for a short time. I will keep posting updates on that. 
3. Uh...I'm gonna make a weird executive decision in a bit, so anyone who has posted interest in a position on [i]this thread[/i] already, feel free to post up a CS. Either male or female characters are fine. 

Please stay tuned for future updates!
