Just create your character as you would for a freeform game.  I'll handle all the system details behind the scenes.  Characters can be any alignment, any humanoid species.  I picture most characters will be either male nonhumans (evil) or female humans (good), but these are by no means requirements, only how I expect this to pan out statistically.  Characters should be typical of first through third-level D&D characters--no uber powers, shapeshifting, leaping tall buildings in a single bound, draining levels, etc. without special permission from me.  Typically any super-human abilities will come at a price.<br/><br/>Characters will start out somewhere between first and fourth level, depending on your description and my whims.<br/><br/>PvP (where one player's PCs attack another player's PCs<em>and the outcome is unscripted</em>) is allowed, but I will place strictures on it to ensure it doesn't get out of hand and detract from the enjoyment of the game.  Characters whose sole or primary purpose is to hunt down other PCs will not be allowed.  I reserve the right to tweak the situation to ensure a fair or nearly fair fight.  A PvP encounter will normally require the consent of both players.  Consent means acceptance of any outcome, including character death.  I picture PvP encounters will be uncommon.<br/><br/>All characters will start out in or near the town.  When you create a character, please specify whether you wish to have a new thread, or to join an existing thread.<br/><br/>And that's pretty much it.
