Brand, 
I was more referring towards those "no-body" characters. Like family members (that another role player doesn't choose to play) or maids or the baker down the street or really whoever just fills the streets and houses... does that make sense? 

To All, 
I have two general ideas for characters. One's a man from "the tribes beyond the mountains" and another is a noble woman who just married her second husband. If anyone wants to work our characters into one another's histories: let me know. Upfront, one of these characters will not come into play until later. I'm debating which...I suppose it all depends on what the other characters we've got going on.
