OK, now that we have 12, I'm going to set a deadline of Midnight Thursday/Friday (GMT) for the character proposals (Deadline extended, see post #25). (That's 7 PM Thursday on the East Coast of the US.) If you can't make that deadline, but see this message, please just let me know, and I'll let you spend an extra day. Otherwise, the party will leave without you, and you'll end up in the story a few days late. (It won't really be a problem, it just means you won't be in Update 0.)
Currently, I have:
CCRunner - Approved
BananaLee - Approved
Chandrasekhar - Approved
thomas.berubeg - Approved, Waiting for Story
Love - Basic Idea Received, Waiting for Character Details
Icekommander - Approved
Diamondeye - Approved
If you're not on that list, or are listed as requiring more info, please send in your character info.
BTW, Winston Hughes, your character role should be coming shortly.
EDIT: Added an addendum on the reserve list to the rules, if you're interested.
