I share Rin's concerns about character overlap and character power.

Any sort of information on this world we'll be RPing in either? We need at least some sort of base to work with here, I think. Or are we allowed creative freedom within reason? I am assuming humans only as well?

If there's character overlap, I'll let the involved parties know (without telling them who's overlapping with them). Besides, I think some players try too hard not to overlap and end up shooting themselves in the foot by making their character really off the wall. I'll do all the worrying around here; you guys just have fun making characters you really want to play. ;)

The world is the usual high fantasy one, with humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and the like.
* Humans can live up to 120 years. They show few signs of aging until they're around 80.
* Wood elves live as long as humans. They're more frail, but their senses are better. Their hair starts to blanch at around 80 years old, but they otherwise show no signs of aging at all.
* High elves are strong as humans and have the sensory powers of wood elves. They can live for many hundreds of years, but as a result, they cannot reproduce as often. Off-limits to player characters; GM-only.
* Dwarves are short humanoids with the same strength as humans with the sensory powers of wood elves. Unlike either of their genetic cousins, dwarves lead considerably shorter lives and age rapidly.
* Orcs are the strongest race of them all, but also have the worst sensory abilities. They're green, hulking, and a lot smarter than they look.
