[@Kaithas]: We've kind of dialed back on non-Japanese characters for reasons of setting(there's Academies in every country) and because the first non-Japanese character who was signed up actually made it fairly significant.

As for the whole first person thing, um...

I'd rather not argue, but I'll be honest and say one of my own personal reservations is... Frankly I've seen people do it before and try to make themselves like the "main character" of the RP.

This has given me reservations against its use. EVERYONE should equally be the "main character" of an RP unless the RP is specifically structured, and everyone agreed, on something otherwise.

That may not be the intent here but it is something that bothers me about it.
