Yeah, same here, we do not celebrate Thanksgiving where I live, although I had a reasonably good day nonetheless. Really looking forward to seeing this get started, I'm sure it is going to be awesome. Even if I'm not accepted in the end, I'll probably still keep reading regardless, just to see where it all goes... :3

By the way, for those having trouble finding an image which fit their character, the following [url=http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-3-lab/]website[/url] has a pretty good online program for making character portraits. It is what I used to make mine, and I think it turned out pretty alright. If anyone wants one for theirs, it is available for free. I could also make one for them relatively easily if they don't have the time.
