@Big DreadThat works for me :P We could also have Jazzy and Emogirl be together at the start, and meet up with Cute Giant and Foxy Lady.

Bio
Hey all, JB here.
I'm a DM for a large number of games here on RPG, as well as a player in several others. Many of the games I run are overly complex, or they involve Dungeons and Dragons (which is also overly complex!).
I work 40+ hours a week, and am the proud father of two tiny terrors named Chibi and Chibette and married to my beautiful Wifey. As such, I am quite busy more often than not. I typically write 2-5 paragraphs per reply and try to maintain an excellent level of grammar. If you noticed me glancing at your profile, I probably was looking to see if you would be a good match for my RPing style. Even if I didn't send a PM to you, feel free to send one back!
I enjoy 1x1 RPs and small groups. I'm fond of medieval, steampunk, and futuristic settings, and I'll jump into romance, adventure, and slice of life RPs fairly quickly, although supernatural (vampires, werewolves, etc) RPs get old for me pretty quickly. If you're looking for an RP partner and I've glanced at your profile, then I'm most likely willing to give it a shot, but decided against PMing you because I'm actually kinda shy. But I'm always looking for a new friend!
Please feel free to say hi at any time!

@Erminepft... We might have to roll temp PCs for that.
I tried my hardest to make sure Mal looked cute. Wifey said he was cute. I feel successful.
@Lady SeluneAny update yet? How long do you plan to wait?
Alternately, if we're missing some rolls, we could reshuffle rolls and get rid of some of the less crucial ones (unless they are all crucial).

I have a lot of options - not sure if I want to do barbarian stuff or more protecting stuffs.
@ErmineShe knows my character is her fiance, but my character doesn't know. He doesn't even know the name of his fiancee.
Make Clyde go down first.
Do this by shoving Clyde down the ladder.
Ok, we have received all Character Sheets for those who have officially joined. I know I have at least one other person who looks interested.
Before we start, I need the following from everyone. If you have already done this, congrats!
1. Name of your starter weapon. This is just to name your primary weapon. If you just picked a category, I temporarily named a weapon for you, or I left it as "Oaken Wand" or "Oaken Staff" because that was my placeholder. I know we have a lot of creativity here, so if you can come up with a name, that would be great. Avoid names like "Julian's Blade" because you will have several other weapons to choose from as they become unlocked. It doesn't make much sense to have just one weapon with your name on it. As a side note, your starter weapon will have balanced STR and MAG stats.
2. Pick your starter abilities for both (or all three) Roles. If one of your roles is MED, that part of the job is done for you. MED gets 1 ability to start, and it's always Cure. All other roles start with TWO abilities of Crys 1 (on the Abilities tab). That means no level 1 Blizzaga. (Crys stands for Crystarium, FYI.)
For COM, suggested abilities are either Attack/Blitz or Attack/Ruin.
For RAV, I suggest picking first lvl spells from two elements. These elements should be treated as your primary elements and will likely be the first to gain higher-tiered spells (like Fire -> Fira -> Firaga).
For SEN, Provoke is almost required, and then a Crys 1 guard ability like Steelguard, Mediguard, or Elude.
For SYN, you're limited to Bravery, Faith, Protect, Shell, and Vigilance. The first two are offensive and the last three are defensive (Vigilance can be seen as minorly offensive too). I suggest focusing on either offensive buffs or defensive buffs at the start. Otherwise, you'll be less effective as you try to spread out your upgrades.
For SAB, your choices are Deprotect, Deshell, Slow, and the P versions of those. Any SAB spell with a P uses your Physical stat to determine damage dealt and is treated as a physical action (meaning if you cannot perform physical actions, you cannot use the P abilities). I suggest focusing on whichever stat you're best at. Someone with high STR will want mostly P abilities, while those with high MAG will want the standard abilities.
And MED, you got Cure. Sorry that you only get one choice, but MEDIC is a rather straightforward role in terms of abilities... you pretty much always get the same ones if it's a primary role.
3. Not needed to begin, but will be needed VERY soon. Please contact me about setting up abilities for your Crystarium. I need to focus on Primary Roles (we will get to Secondary Roles later). The hiders below contain info you might need. When I mention levels below, I'm talking about the Crys lvl shown on the abilities tab. Use this number to plan your abilities. You may take any ability that is at or below the Crys lvl you can access. That means if you're a RAV at lvl 5, you can pick any RAV ability that is at Crys 5 or lower.
DON'T FORGET PASSIVES! Passive abilities are extremely strong, especially for Commando.

For secondary roles, you get 7 abilities in each role. Progression should make sense, so you can go Fire > Fira > Firaga, but not Fire > Blizzara > Thundaga. Every ability can be at any lvl, but you need to show progression. For COM/RAV/SEN, there aren't many prerequisites for passives, but you'll have very few passives you can get if you want to be effective with active abilities. For SAB/SYN, the passive should be your final ability, if you take it at all. Getting an extra active ability might be a lot stronger. For MED, you get most of the abilities, but will have to pick one to not take.

@Big DreadExcellent ideas all around! If the order of the fiend were the ones who destroyed the Portal, there might be some devilish or demonic implications as well. Also...
You wouldn't dare show her my ticklish spots!

@Ermine I think it makes sense for us to start, maybe as a newly formed group. The big question for my PC is how we met up with @The Harbinger of Ferocity's. But if someone else knows the kitty, we're probably fine.
As for answers to the questions...
1) I feel like there are a lot of dangerous people that tie into most of our stories. I might suggest a member of our rival House (followers of the fiend) who are not nice people. Both my PC and @Big Dread's would have quite the beef with them. (Actually fought against them in a war).
2) I think this would be an interesting hook to bring in Harb's character and keep him around. Did we destroy a portal to the Feywild? Or perhaps ruined a link between gods and man somehow? Maybe an extremely important magic item?
3) Depends on 2. Obliquely, it might bind Harb's PC to ours, at least until we fix it.
4) same.
5) Oh great, another powerful entity we owe :P I kinda want a game sorta centered on the Raven Queen - perhaps one of their Order?
6) Cuddle parties. But yeah, we've got a veritable love hexagram going on. So I think there's plenty of reasons for trust and distrust to go around.
15) Of course I know everyone's names! Just... don't ask me to recite them all. I care about them because some of them are as close as any family I've ever had. A friend of Harriet's is a friend of mine.
