Threw together some quick descriptions of the faction leaders in the "side characters" section of the CS thread. If anyone would like, they can "take over" any side character listed in the thread. This includes faction leaders.

I didn't include the Voyager leader because I'm not sure who I want him or her to be.

I have decided that the IC will likely come on Tuesday (my next day off) or Wednesday. If you guys have any objections, or would like certain things fleshed out (I will make a local map first) I can delay it until Thursday (the next day off) or later if absolutely necessary. I'll make my own character(s) probably tomorrow.

On a related note, when I DO start the IC, how does an "event" system sound? In order to make sure everybody has something to do, I'll generate eventy-questy things in the world that characters can choose to participate in or not. This will also help me drive the main plot lines by passively moving you guys without God-Modding. I've never actually tried a system like this, but it seems interesting and efficient, so if you guys think it sounds good, I will GM that way.
