From my stand point I was going to retire The Red because of the distance of time and that he is still just a man at his core, albeit forever changed and altered by supernatural aspects. He also was not that young to begin with, so time would have taken its toll - either way, he would have ended up in the animal afterlife of the [i]Beastlands[/i] assuming this is still all very loosely based off of Dungeons and Dragons material.

That said, I can work with much of anything - all I really need is an outcome of the previous events to establish motivation as to why the wild world would send another champion, if not a more defined one.

In addition, starting after the holidays I can see as almost mandatory; I doubt many would post aside from myself and perhaps another or so, given my schedule does not vary during that time.
