I will play, but a few questions:
1. I can't find the rules for creating my character. Have I missed them? Where are they?
2. Will we have to play as certain races ie Dwarves, Elves etc.
(I can't see a Dwarf and an Elf helping each other during the War of the Beard)

Everything will fall into place. Again, those races are my preferences, but any race may be used(though more backround work will have to be done)

Vriishnak the Twisted - May 18, 2003 12:16 AM (GMT)
Name: Storn Bladebite

Gender:Male

Backround: Took the Slayer oath after his best friend was tortured and killed in front of his eyes by an unusually intelligent Orc. Overcome by rage, Storn snapped the ropes that were holding him, strangled the orc with his bare hands, recovered his runic axe, and proceeded to destroy the entire warband.

Dark Lord Jim - June 2, 2003 09:26 PM (GMT)
Name: Father Janus
Race: Human (Empire)
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5' 11"/135 lbs
Appearance: Dressed in scruffy, torn priests robes with worn sandals. Grimy skin, scraggly, dirty auburn beard and hair. Generally looks quite unkempt.
Previous job before adventuring: Sigmarite priest for the Sylvanian border town of Gutendorf, before becoming a wondering priest and profit of doom.
Sub-skills: Priest spells- I don't know what these are going to be, I assume the mighty games-master will tell me what spells I can take.
Hates undead, skaven and chaos-worshipping scum.
Healing.
Weaknesses: Over-zealous, pessimistic, hates undead to the point of blind rage and frenzied headlong charges with foaming at the mouth with little regard for his personal safety.
Personality: Very devout Sigmarite, will be suspicious of anyone and everyone of being a heretic unless they perform some hideously good deed to convince him otherwise. Incredibly zealous, he will take whatever course of action he believes is ordained by his patron God.
Background: After his hometown was destroyed by the walking dead, Janus went slightly mad and roamed the country preaching that our ancestors are returning to teach us the folly of our sins and so forth. Seeing corruption whereever he went, the eccentric priest left a trail of witch hunts and mutant cleansing in his wake. He is now wanted by the regular Cult of Sigmar after burning down a church and killing the attendant Priest amid claims that the man was a secret worshipper of Slaanesh. Of course, in the dark backwater regions of the Empire, who can say what the truth was?
