> Some GMs like to reserve the character section for accepted characters. Better safe then sorry

This works just fine. ^_^ Its better to keep the characters thread for accepted characters, since it allows for a less congested area to view the sheets and makes revisions to character sheets a lot easier.

> Would it be safe to assume that we're just ignoring the language barrier?

For the sake of narrative convenience, everyone is more or less fluent in English. Accents can be handled in any way you like, and if you want to slip in bits of other languages for flavor you are free to do so. Also, due to the nature of the students at Outer Reach, it isn't uncommon for people to know multiple languages beyond their native tongue and English (especially those being groomed as corporate heirs).

Card Captor and Duthguy, you are both accepted. Feel free to Copy/Pasta your character sheets into the character thread.
