Well, of the currently active players, we have:
- Argus: Human, male, middle-aged, mage
- Grope: Troll, male, middle-aged (by troll standards), sword swinger
- Jamie: Human, indeterminate (at least publicly), young, gunslinger
- Jonathan: Human, male, young(?), mage(?)
- Kureji: Human, female, young, mage (berserk sub-category)
- Layla: Human, female, young, Gewehr Wraith (assassin? gunslinger?)
- Lucas: Human, male, youngish, mage
- Marcus: Human, male, young, "deathmage" (definitely not a garden-variety mage)
- Roger: Human, male, youngish, gunslinger -- hasn't been active for a while
- Toivo: Human, male, youngish, mage
- Tsubasa: Human(?), female, young, difficult to describe
Remember that there is neither need nor desire for characters here to conform to "character classes" as defined in various commercial RPGs. Fitting into the Poe-verse is more important than proclaiming oneself a mage, assassin, etc. That said, the missing ingredients are half elves (although at least one is present as an NPC) and priests/"clerics"/religious figures. Both pose challenges to play. Half elves are constantly on the run from elven rangers and may be limited in how they can participate as a result -- no such thing as a live, high-profile half elf. "Religious" characters have no such constraints, and could add some color to the mix, but are a lot of work to set up and keep consistent with the Poe-verse.
Wanna adopt someone from the Veracian mission to start with? I've set up a bunch of NPCs there, and while a few are "reserved" for plot development, others could transition easily into regular player characters. Let me know if you'd like to go this way and I'll private-message you some stuff about what they're like -- subject to your own interpretation, of course. If you'd rather create a character from scratch, that's fine too.
