I think I'm going to retract my participation - it's not through lack of interest, as I am pretty interested, but right now I can't really engage my brain to the level it needs or summon the energy to create a character and do the research and reading I think it deserves to be accurate, simply because of time constraints and obligations I already have. 
I don't want to hold anyone else up, so I'll step aside for the moment, but thanks for letting me in to begin with.
