Character Sheets

Can I still participate? (I've been reading for a while, and I think I've read the entire section)
As I understand it, I just need to come up with a name, class, equipment, skills, bonuses, and a biography? (and the GM will determine the stats)
I wanted to create a fire mage, but there's already one. Then I thought about a necromancer, but there's one of those too. So, I'll create an air mage =) (if that's possible, of course)
And also - in the fourth chapter, there's a very interesting passage about the lost library of Shendar. It's quite suitable for an air mage. So, if possible, I'll quickly write up a profile...
