[@Charnobylisk] It's also worth mentioning that you're not obliged to keep both characters at once - if you feel as though having two characters is getting in the way of writing either of them [i]well[/i] and you can pull them out without handicapping any of the other PCs, then there's no problem with shelving one of your characters until a later date. It's not something that I'd suggest [i]planning[/i] to do, but you shouldn't feel intimidated out of playing two characters if you feel that you can manage it ^_^

Another option would be to wait a week or two until the rate of IC posting has settled, then decide whether you want a second character or not :)
