Nice! I'm at work tonight but I'll try to read through the IC posts during slow periods. After tonight I'm off for four days, but this weekend I am taking part in the NYC Midnight Flash Fiction Challenge, so my responses will be limited. On Friday night, I get assigned a genre, location, and object, and then I have 48 hours to come up with a 1,000 word short story. It spans four different challenges over a period of several months, with the grand prize being like $6000. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun. 

As for the new character, I would totally be fine with that, but I think Raistlin had already claimed Carol Danvers. However, if he doesn't post a CS or come back to re-claim her, then you are free to incorporate whatever part of her you want for your character.
