Oh do I love to come home from work to see such banter! Lovely. I might just get the OOC up in a bare-bones sort of way just to have such lovely banter in it. I'm planning on a set of twins, boy/girl but their position/exact age really depends on what gaps need to be filled after all the characters are in. People should feel free to make up NPC families and relatives [s]that absolutely nothing bad will happen to[/s] to pad their characters provided connections can't be made with players. In my last RP "Along the Darkest Road" which Igraine was in, we had three players make up a trio of womanizing best buddies, such sweet RP there. So feel free to work with whatever sorts of ties you all like.
