Take your time.

The most important thing is to come up with a character that you like and can play with in the long run. These RPs can get a little long sometimes(I know someone who will call me out on that for just making the biggest understatement of the century), and then a solid character can be alpha and omega.

A merchant character might fit as we could use a supplier. He or she could maybe play an integral part to the plot if this roleplay continues its current course. 

Let me know what you come up with.
If you want to talk, I should also be able to arrange that.
