I get the limited starting position and class but am I allowed to claim he was originally born somewhere other than Awom as to have an eastern influence in my character? (The merchant I'm going with) and how successful can he be as a commoner?

For now the only eastern influence I will accept are the looks of the character. I am considering that there is a far away country with such influences, but rather keep the focus on the current realm. Its already big and over the course, as more join and the story progresses, the world and such will too.

Hey- whoa this got popular quickly. Not surprising though, congrats.Anywho, quick question: Will our first posts have to mention any significant plot-related event that hasn't been stated yet? It's just I'd like to get my first post written out and ready before the RP starts (organization ftw and all that), but am wondering if I need to wait in case more information is released that would severely influence its details. I was just thinking of the standard character intro post, you know, Jymson going about his daily ordeals like it's any other day etc etc.Many thanks.

Thanks. ^^
As answer for your question, no. The starting post will describe some events that might be important, but its the choice of your character to either make something up from that. (As most stated things will be rumours). After all, with the characters being limited for now in Awom, they might not care too much for what might happen in Easmar as that is a province too far away from their beds.
