No problem, Jenia. I'll try to resist any M/CDAA urges on Phoeincia for a while... (Heh...)
Congrats, Ein. Think you got it?
And what the heck? You have the coolest characters, and you want to dump them? Seriously, sarcastic lich overlord, crazy blind sword lady, a military hierarchy that's actually interesting as opposed to generic, etc., etc. There's no rule that says you need to continue updating your characters or can't bring in new ones, but I think you should reconsider. ;)
