[@Ryciera] i absolutely loved your character and would hate it if you disappeared for good. I do understand though if it can't be helped and is for ooc reasons that you must do so. ic, this current battle isn't the only thing I have planned for you all and would rather you see it through if you wouldn't mind. You have Joseph with you, Jason who you could rp with, and Tirarrian who also just stepped out of the fighting. As I had mentioned to [@The Fated Fallen] I totally don't mind if there aren't many posts between you all. Ultimately, I would like to see something, little things here and there, but since you're all not part of the fighting, it is completely understandable. 

If you still don't feel comfortable with this, I do understand. If you wish to come back after the battle, that is totally cool as well.

[@Tabitha Jade] I absolutely love both characters. I hope my earlier post to you helps in creating them. I personally like simple, and the key things I take into consideration when judging a character are:
1- Is this character solid/believable?
2- Would she/he fit the setting/story that I'm creating here
3- Would she/he be able to handle themself in the setting or would she/he die too easily/over power the foes too easily?
4- Does she/he have a role in the story or is she/he just a bystander? 

obviously I don't want a bystander :p But the number one important thing I look for is a solid concept, because that is what can be built upon, that is what can grow, and that is what will last. :)

Edit - now i'm going, I swear! :p
