This gives me an idea for actually playing a character alot like me in a game (though not disabled) ;) Also, coming from different parts of the world, I could shamelessly wimp out and have my character come from Mid-Wales, lol.

5 levels is easy enough to work with.

As for currency, Pounds would be the monetary standard.

Here is a full list of British currency for others not familiar with it.

1p piece (coin) (one-pence)
2p piece (coin)
5p piece (coin)
10p piece (coin)
20p piece (coin)
50p piece (coin)
£1 coin (one-pound)
£2 coin
£5 coin (rare, were in circulation for a short time but still legal tender)
£5 note (paper money)
£10 note
£20 note
£50 note

There are thoings like the £100 note, but they are to rare to really list as conventional money.

I've been alive for 22 years, and I've only ever seen 2 £50 notes. But the most money I've ever held in my hands is around £44,000 at a nightclub I used to work at (the month's takings, I think).

Okay, so £50 notes are also quite rare, lol. I have had about 5 or 6 in my time, 3 of thsoe at the same time, lol. I have seen a good few more in the possession of others though, lucky gits they were.

Voodoo and Wicca are completely different, so three differing types of Mystic magic would be cool (Wiccy's wicca, your voodoo and my Catholisim).

Well, I've posted an intro post, but from now start posting intro posts for your characters, then we'll thread them together.

Cool. I'll make the 'stats' for the character and a general idea for background (not fully descriptive as I have 3 other characters to write, 4 campaigns to make more content for, 1 highly complex character to continue to play and then some 'real' life if I have time :wink: )

I won't be able to post for the next few days due to schoolwork, but I'll try when I'm able. Maybe Thursday or Friday.

Well, since I have the character ready, it seems that I’ll be the one who will make the first post! :P

Good campaign to all of us! :D

Drinnik I thought that Giada is a “very italian” name so I decided to change it in Jane.
