Just so you all know. The game will start with the party (not necessarily together) in Kristophan - the capital city of the Imperial League of Minotaurs. I'm not sure how you all got to the city, but I'm sure your characters would have some reason to travel there. If you're from a far away place like The Blackwater Glade, it is most likely that you took a ship to the city.

sorry Travis, lol. It really isn't a bit deal though. In actual fact, it is unlikely that you would do all that well on your own trying to escape Thera overland. Kristophan is a huge city and if you're going to escape the League it would be the best place to start. It is also unlikely that word has reached Kristophan that you are wanted yet, that is if the blood on your hands is recent. I was also thinking that perhaps you still have more of the 'family' to visit in Kristophan. Perhaps your act of vengeance isn't complete . You may even need friends to protect you. oh, it doesn't look like we will be playing tonight. Next monday for sure.

Its gonna be hard, but I'm sure we can manage to wait another week. This is going to be fun though whenever we do start.
I'll just say that Zissren's first stop in his rite of passage is that, trying to blend in, and not snap at everyone that comes near him.

Any opportunity to connect with the server to roll stats and make my char?

well after thinking this over a bit, I really don't want to cause you guys a lot of grief with your character backgrounds. If it is too much work or it is unbelievable that your character would be in Kristophan at this time, it's ok. I don't have a problem starting the game some place else. I'm toying with 3 starting ideas anyway.
Maybe we will just put it to a vote.

Thrrdon Bakali Fighter
History Place of Birth: Blackwater Glade Family: Scrusuth (mother), Kursum (brother), Kobdorn (female clutchmate) Homeland: Blackwater Glade Tribe-Name: Swamprunner
The Blackwater Glade has been Thrrdon’s home for many years, and within the great swamp is where he learned to fight and fight hard. While some swampers near the glade seek treaties with the bakali, others do not, and they have felt the sting of his trident more then once. As the swampers do not always make worthy opponents, and Thrrdon has sought out other swamp beasts to do battle with, receiving his fair share of scars in the process.
Thrrdon is close to only a few members of his family. His mother, Scrusuth, still reside in the glade, serving the tribe as a priest of Siarrlas. One of brothers had set out of the swamp shortly after Thrrdon left, but he has not seen or heard of him since his own departure. Kobdorn, while they were raised together when very young, is not a sibling in the human sense. Thrrdon has always been trying to earn her affection since they matured, and many of his ventures into the swamp to fight various creatures were attempts to win her as a mate.
His desire to win Kobdorn as a mate was his purpose to leave the Blackwater Glade to seek greater opponents, and return to the glade in the future to form his own tribe.
Physical Description Thrrdon is noticeably larger then the typical bakali, and stands well above other humanoids, often instilling unease in them. His scales are primarily a dark green, almost black in color, speckled with a lighter green and the belly scutes highlighted with a yellowish-green. Several scars can be seen across his body, obviously signs of serious conflicts in Thrrdon's past. His jawline closely resembles the alligators of his swamp home, with a somewhat shorter, broader snout then other bakali.
Most people may not immediately realize that Thrrdon is wearing hide armor, as it is made from the hides of several alligators, and appears very similar to his own hide. The trident in his hand, however, is immediately noticeable, as well as the spear and javelins lashed to his backpack. Aside from his armor and backpack, Thrrdon wears a simple leather tunic.
Thrrdon speaks in a very low, grumbling rumbling voice, almost felt more then heard, punctuated by low hisses and growls. He rarely speaks, and when he does, he is not long-winded and direct. During intense moments, such as anger or combat, hearing a raging roar come from him is common. Mental Description You can take the gator out of the swamp, but you can't take the swamp out of the gator.
Thrrdon is ferociously territorial over what he claims as his, and typical of bakali, he is distrustful of strangers. He is prone to snap at strangers who get too close with his jaws or lash out with his tail if provoked. To date, life out of the swamp has been challenging, at least socially as he tends to look at other beings primarily as competition for food or other resources. Fortunately, he has begun to understand that non-bakali can prove themselves to become trustworthy clutchmates, and has recently befriended a few non-bakali.
Those who can continually prove their strength in combat are on the path to earn Thrrdon’s respect and eventual trust. Even powerful enemies are respected. Thrrdon is suspicious of those using magical powers, and generally has little tolerance of them, with exception of those skilled in healing abilities as they have helped him in combat before.
Thrrdon’s goals are simple, prove his worth as a warrior, earn Kobdorn as a mate, and form his own tribe back in the glade.

Why vote for the lesser evil? Cthulhu's agenda is quite clear, reclaim his rule of the Earth. No lies, no deception.
Ironically the next presidential election is in Nov 2012, just several weeks before the Dec 21, 2012 end of the world.

Cthulhu has my vote, I'll write him in. No surprises, plus you'll want him to eat you first when he reclaims the earth.
Updated my char background.
