Hey guys, Im about to head out and wont be back till late. You guys can keep discussing if you want. However, when I get back I'll be finalizing the thread. By that I mean decisively picking a setting, house names/mascots/colors, and a plot. For me to be able to do this, Id like to hear your FINAL vote for house names/animals/colors. Furthermore, if you're interested in being a villain PM me a writing sample and from there we can discuss a villain via pm. :)

EDIT: It might also be helpful if you guys give me your final thoughts on character ages (forcing to first year, leaving it open, etc)
