Howdy! I'd like to apply to join this thread, if that's quite alright. I had a few questions, though.

[list][*]How often do you want folks to post?
[*]Does every character need to be held in high regard? I understand most should be as they're embarking on this quest to save a princess, but might a famous criminal be brought along should they have the right skillset? Etc.
[*]What sort of magic is in the setting?
[*]Can our characters be something more or less than human? (Someone with odd/alien ancestry, or who was stolen by strange creatures as a child, such as Fey or what have you.)[/list]

At present, I'm considering an illusionist of sorts, a trickster mage. He'd have dwarfism (or a strange ancestry), and he'd either be the court mage or the court jester, though he might also be a friend of someone in the court (the Duke's?) that isn't an actual part of the court. His magical powers and skill set would be focused on deception and less-than-direct methodology.

Other than that, if you allowed 'less than human' types, I'd be mighty tempted to toy with some sort of 'Beast of Brittony' concept - someone born or cursed with a more monstrous appearance, someone that could fit the strongman sort of role.
