Hey all! Loving the relatively quick showing of characters! A couple of things: 

In the interest check, I noted that for interest of fairness, I wouldn't be accepting characters within a 24 hour grace period to give time for me to add players on merit, not speed. I'll be extending that a further 12-14 hours simply due to home issues and just to get more time for a few players that I know are working on characters to get them in. 

[@twannyman] I'd rather not be specific to your character or anyone else's, but if everyone would like a little more detail on what I'd like, here are a few pointers. If you've already submitted a character, you have another half-day before I review them officially, so edit them if you like:

[list]
[*] Be sure to completely fill out the form, even if you'd like to keep your character secretive. Be sure to put something, even if it's just a sentence. Once the grace period ends, I'll begin accepting completed characters.
[*] A big part of this game (or at least what I'd like to see) are secrets. That may sound counterintuitive, but to explain: try to give small hints that your character has some real struggles, or issues. Maybe something's happened to them, or that they've got a person of interest in their lives. Why would they leave the world behind? Why the [I]Crescenzo[/I]? Don't give me all the answers, but try to just give a little snippet so there's an intrigue to it all. 
[*] Don't feel limited in who to play. See that we're lacking "X" in the current roster? Make a character unlike the others. Don't be afraid to be different, but DON'T feel like you have to change a character significantly because of this post. Be true to what you want to play as. 
[/list]

I hope that helped some of you, if you needed it. I'll try to be around to answer any more questions.
