Thanks for the general encouragement. I'm pretty excited to give this a try. 

I like the potential options for backstory you've presented so far. Keep us posted.

When you say you're going for a pentakill, do you mean you want to dispatch all five faction leaders? That feels like a seriously difficult undertaking but I'm all for letting you give it a try assuming you can think up a compelling motivation for such a gargantuan feat. And no need to be secretive OOC unless you want to be.

As for the sidekick, I'm not opposed to letting you keep it if we can't find a fourth player (and assuming no one has any balance/fairness objections).
