Let's use this thread to discuss who is going to play what. The world will be a steampunk-y fantasy setting, so I'm open to non-typical classes/races, or if you want to work on a variant, lets talk it out.
Your characters all awake with no memory, so there's no point in coming up with an actual backstory. HOWEVER, I'm a big fan of epic stories, of bands of travelers working together. And we all know, in every epic story group, each character uses a distinct combat style and weapon! So imagine you're a band of amazing, level 20 characters: what would your weapon of choice be (I'm not serious about only distinct weapon types). You'll also notice you should have access to your own subforum (if you don't, it because I've been lazy and not made yours yet). There will be character discussions and notes, specific to your character, in there. There may be specific details to your char gen in there, so be sure to check it out.
I'm thinking about it, and I think I'd like you all to start your characters as Neutral... you're waking up with no idea of who you are, from name to personality to desires, and I'd like to you RP your chosen alignment organically (think about a story... if a character wakes from amnesia, they won't inherently be good or evil, but inclined in a particular direction). In a way, your characters not knowing the world will shape the world. I'm not going with the standard DnD god structure (we may tweak exactly how any divine characters get their magic) or land. I'll be asking you guys to help me make the world, and in exchange, I'll be helping make your characters (mostly because your characters don't know who they are :p).
This is pretty experimental... it's the type of game I've always wanted to run, but my live groups were never willing to go with. I hope you guys will bare with me, join in with some great RP, and really craft a world with me.
