Eh. There's nothing wrong with a cast that has more female than male leads in it.

I think I'd like to play NPCs and the like, the more I think about it. You know: someone that sets some scenes, maybe arranges random events, etc. Not a "GM," as I don't want to be in control or anything, but someone that mainly participates by making things the other players can react to and such.

If I were to make a character, I'm not sure what I'd want to make.

One more suggestion: I think this should be a subcontinent to a larger continent, like India and Europe are to Eurasia (yes, I know: Europe is often considered a separate continent despite being part of the same landmass). Alternatively, think of Italy and Spain: big chunks of land jutting out into the ocean. Thus, there's a big wide world where SOMETHING is out there, but we don't have to specify what. It's with places in that big wide world that the people of this continent might trade with, or where invaders may come from, etc.

(Said rest-of-the-world could also be a good place for future RP.)
