I seem to remember another character calling itself 'the traveler' but that's not terribly important so I must say, good story ^.^<br><br>One thing of importance however... MK already has werewolves and they're of the evil mindless killers variety. If you character is going to turn into a wolf during full moons you're going to need a different explanation than that since werewolves are created by one of the daedra (evil gods of the lightbringer religion) and all werewolves lose their soul to her and become her servants. Again, nothing to stop your character from turning into a wolf, but just be careful about what's already established.<br> <br>Hope to see more of your stuff soon!<br><br>Kit<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 9:46 PM, Ian Jones <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:Ian.Jones@valpo.edu" target="_blank" href="mailto:Ian.Jones@valpo.edu">Ian.Jones@valpo.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div>Hello everyone!</div> <div> </div> <div>I'm new to the keep and wanted to see if I could come up with anything worth adding to its tapestry.  I appreciate any and all comments on my first submission, good or bad.  Don't feel nasty if you have to tell me my writing stinks (unless you're doing so out of spite), I'd like to know that so I can work on making it better.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div>Ian Jones</div><font color="#888888"> </font></div> <br>_______________________________________________<br> MKGuild mailing list<br> <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:MKGuild@lists.integral.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:MKGuild@lists.integral.org">MKGuild@lists.integral.org</a><br> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild">http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br> </div></div> </div><br> !DSPAM:4c5aacf524781804284693! </body></html>
