[@Zoey White] Ah ha, I was wondering if I would get a character from a more technological history. I like her concept, so she is accepted. Between her and De'kae, you're running opposite ends of the spectrum. Imagine the wonder they might have for each other.

As for your concern about rule 5, I can understand why it might seem strange. Ideally, all the players who want to join will make a character before the RP starts and run through it (hopefully to the end). The rules of the land has laws for who, how, and when otherworldly beings enter it, in this case the champions brought forth to challenge the gauntlet. To that end the land has no desire to let in more fighters after the gauntlet has begun. At the same time, I don't want to lock out anyone else who might want to join the RP especially after the first major enemy where it would be easiest to jump in after it starts. The retcon rule is the medium for which players might jump in later while keeping with my vision of how the world works.

So your explanation works. The world won't let in anyone after the gauntlet starts, and rule 5 lets new players retcon themselves in if they join later.

[@Crazytazer] Great character. A self made man, literally. I wonder if he would refer to himself as a cyborg? He is accepted and can join the rest of those whose lives have taken a strange turn within the character tab.
