Awesome, thank you - I checked the wiki a bit last night, reading up on the existing characters, the deities, etc, but I didn't get far enough into it to get the plot concept, I think. And then today... ugh. Silly work keeping me away from fun pursuits. :P With luck, I'll have a chance to read the rest of the wiki tonight.

Okay, here's where my brain is going - I'd like to go with a paladin, if you don't mind, so that I have the fighty stuff along with potential for a little healing when necessary (I'm pulling this off the top of my head without a reference, so correct me if I'm wrong - it's been a while since I've looked at the rule books!). I've got bits of the backstory brewing, but I'll have to go through the details in the story to see how it'll mesh.

Speaking of that last, what system are you running on? I'd love to keep my eyes open for my own copies of the basic manual.
