Well, my post is up. Sorry it's so very long. I had a lot to cover since I came to the party late. If I need to change something due to me missing an important detail in the previous posts, please don't hesitate to let me know. Edits are easily done. 

I do have one tiny request though, dearest LT. If you wouldn't mind, could Pavel be added to the 'Accepted Character' list? It would mean so very much to him...:bow
