Rei
"Well, there's maybe one way to find out," says the grinning Southerner. He starts off leisurely for the first interior entrance to strike his fancy, hands folded behind his head, figuring that he'll find some trouble eventually. Sandy lopes to catch up, caught off guard by his companion's...
Rei
Rei bows politely to the new-comer, then hopes someone else will deal with her. "How do we split this up, or do we? Start from the North, the South, or the deepest tunnel we can find? Call me homesick but I'm all for heading South."
He gives a quirky smile, hoping the joke translates...
Rei
The dark-skinned Southern lad pipes up, still petting the small lion that accompanies him, "No, there were too few of them. If the had been some kind of raiding party they'd have been better equ'..." He realizes that his new "partner" has wandered off and made friends.
And they're...
To that end, if the Mask of Winters is on the move again, we probably found ourselves defending a small village from a marauding contingent of ghosts and other nasties trying to re-join the Deathlord's greater force.
Having heard anything about the campaign from a traveling whoever on his way...
Sweetness!
But let me get this straight, Team Manifest Destiny needs to be something of a Circle as of the start of play?
Also, as far as starting goes, are we all just piping up and setting ourselves somewhere in the Fort?
Well so far Rei only knows Cyl's shadow-hunter to start. I have such a strong conception of him being "the new kid on the block" that I just don't know how much of the Circle-to-be he'd know already.
Alternately, it won't be hard to get him involved in Badness. He's rather looking for it. And...
I didn't know if my stuff was up to snuff or what. I haven't even heard if I get any. Maybe I'm being picky but I like to know that I'm playing by the rules.

Also: Hey Great STess, sorry I couldn't work this into a haiku but I made Rei with 9 bonus freebies (3 each for full background, fan-fic and pictures). Do I maybe get one more because you're doing 5 each for up to two of those...
Well maybe. Rei would be inclined to do Smiter-of-Darknessy things on his way to... wherever it is he's dreaming of. Could have made friends taking out some kind of nastiness or something, I suppose.
What are we thinking? Demon-cult? Death Knight bully? Dark-kin and their Shunned God master?
I don't know if Rei would know anyone else starting out, there aren't any intuitive connections that jump out at me, but if someone wanted to set up a Solar/Lunar bond-pair that might be fun. :)
As much as I thought the former configuration made a nice, cohesive whole, our characters aren't coordinated at all so play whatever you like. I imagine that Trowizilla will be able to work it all out. Or in. Something.
If you go the way of the necro-ninja, Cyl, Rei will like having a source...
While a sorcerer would be great, and ninja would be cool, just because we don't have dots in Stealth doesn't mean we can't try and Sorcery is an insta-fix to a handful of particular problems (such as travel time) that aren't insurmountable anyway, and Sorcery can even cheapen a game because...
Ok so Rei's up.
What I want out of this game... Hmmm...
Rei is a martial artist so it'd be nice to have room for some really solid wire-fu rock'em-sock'em scenes (namely involving Creatures of Darkness). But he has social aspirations as well (see below). I also really dig the 'holy warrior'...

...him with the piercing light of the noon-day sun. "Now how about some of that old time religion," Rei said, taking on the Form of the Janissary.
