Awesome! Your reasons are very well argued, miss; hehe...

About Vicky's question: I always presumed there was one, considering the former headmaster was a priest; that's all that came to my mind about it, really.

Though having personal projects are very cool!

I have finally come up with a name! Himeji Sumeryu. Himeji is her surname and and Sumeryu is her personal name.

In the long tradition of manga character names, it is both very straightforward and close enough to a pun to qualify as one. Himeji is a city in Japan and the country's largest and most famous castle, and "hime" means "princess."

"Sume" is a shortening of "musume," which means "daughter" but has been co-opted to indicate a cute girl version of a thing that is not usually a cute girl, like a castle, a ship, animal, or monster. "Ryu" means "dragon." And Sumeru is the magical mountain at the center of the universe in Buddhism.

So basically her name is "Big Magic Dragon Pretty Princess Castle."

I had originally intended her personal name to be "Ryuko," which is pretty much just "dragon girl," but since we have a Buddhist monster in our group, I thought a second layer of puns would be even better. Is that okay, or should I use Ryuko instead?

Sublime! I can't really opine about what name to choose, I find Ryuko better sounding, but Sumeryu more meaningful (as you have explained).

I really like the name choice too! You have put a lot of thought into it @BlondeDragonGenie !

I love the name and I love that you thought of my character when coming up with it!

Gonna be working on my Character. Thinking about building a delinquent Female werewolf.

Alright! Go for it!

Ok then, counting all the folks who recently showed signs of being working on their characters (most are finishing), I count 8 character, which is more than enough to start! You guys think you can do it by Sunday?

Will try. Still figuring out how the game works, don't think it's too bad but certainly a bit more involved than rolling 3d6 a few times.

Also, hi everyone. ^^

Hello! So kind of you to join us

I'm optimistic.

Oh I didn't see this at first! I'd be happy to start sunday

Same. Good luck us :P

I'm probably open to Sunday too granted that my character is finished by then.

Thanks, @Dracostern and @tacokarp! I'm glad you like the name I chose.

It's settled then. My character is named Himeji Sumeryu. I am sure people will come up with all manner of nicknames and most of them will have "Su" in them. Maybe "Suryu." That's also a pun.

Hi @Aline!

Also hi, @SpeckTech. I think I forgot to say hi earlier. So hi!

I'm glad that everyone here is very positive

Honestly same, it makes everything so much better!

About that: I generally stayed away from +5s because I thought they're really discouraged, but now I'm seeing the suggestion to another player about getting one or two +5s. So I'd like to re-ask for clarification: how should we treat the statement in the book against starting with +5s?

Oh wait we aren't supposed to have +5s? Sorry I think I missed that part I change things if I that makes it better, I just wanted to focus on the Oni trait of being extremely durable so I put as many points into being tough

I think we need the DM's ruling on this, because that could change a lot of things.

Don't rush, I merely asked a question. I'm hoping for a clarification from the GM.
