the phantom and I are supposedly engaged, so I guess you should be younger than him.

I am expecting this to be a RPG of epic length .... given that I think we have had games significantly shorter than this thread

I will be ready to play on June 1st, but I'm going away tomorrow and will in all probability be internetless until the following Saturday. Don't worry if I seem to have disappeared.

For me: The earlier, the better. Like I said before, it is going right through my exams anyway, so it will be fun no doubt; oh, stress, how I love thee. And then, as soon as my exams end, I am leaving. So 1st June is perfect.

Weren't Gwath and McCaber trying to date Aganzir? In that case, I don't think it would be a good idea for Morm to be Nogrod's brother... unless we're that kind of village.

Kitanna is my baby!!!!! (only the youngest, not an actual baby)

I'm going to assume Legate and sally are (older) teenagers, like Agan and Diamond, and so children for the purposes of my chart.

I expect to see you in class, young man! You can help Phantom after you're done with your homework.

And another cousin of mine is my ex.

It might prove a hard task to fix the family relations so that all kind of incest is avoided, and at least to me it doesn't really matter anyway. After all, I'm the daughter of the black sheep.

Hey now, it's a small village, so there aren't that many options outside of the family. When you give the kids the option of "You can date your cousin or no one at all" you figure eventually they'll rationalize the cousin option.

I'm just glad I didn't have to do that. At least I don't think I did. *checks family chart* Nope, I'm safe.

Nah, we're not actually married...but we do act like a married couple. Anyways, I don't imagine myself to be very old...even if married, people do get married at a young age. I mentioned it before but I think Kath and me should probably be around our RL ages...so something like 19-21. Kitanna's my twin so she's whatever age I end up being. Legate, you were originally our older brother...but have you changed your mind and decided to be younger? Either way works for me. Though I must admit, I found the idea that a 15-year-old Aganzir used to date a 20-something Legate rather amusing.

Well, we could all just pretend we're from Alabama where apparently incestuous marriages are legal.

I did not! That was actually Roa who brought that up, for reasons unknown to me. I have no problem with being eventually a younger brother, though. Seemingly, given that Aganzir-thing and also Sally, of whom I have no idea how old she is (or I thought between 15 and 20 but nowadays I am not sure of anything anymore), I shouldn't be 20 probably. I said 18 or such. 15 is maybe too little. But whatever. Just the heck tell me how old the other people who concern me are and I can decide whichever way.

Speaking of that, people, I think we are going to have enough with who's whose relative in which way to make it the topic of the game without any useless werewolves, the more Wizards. I can just see someone posting "And as I said, I suspect my cousin..." and others asking unisono: "Erm, WHICH cousin?"

I already pity the narration-writer as well
