Well Aldrea...if you read the intro post, you'll know that we like newer players in the GESB to try and keep it down to one character in the bar at a time. I know you've probably had a lot of role-play experience in the past, but the GESB is a little different than a lot of role plays, so we ask that you keep your characters to one until you get used to the format and how things work. As for your character's objective, we wouldn't want you to bring in another character just for the sake of your original character to interact. That setup is good for fanfics and writing, but this roleplay is focused more on interactions with other players and development of your own personal character. If you wish to change your original character, I think it's probably new enough at this point to do it...but we ask that you don't go around changing your one allowed character willy-nilly as it hurts continuity and makes for a poor roleplay for those around you.
Again, welcome and I hope you enjoy the GESB.
And by the way...all of those of you who feel it is necessary to have more than one character, keep in mind that I have only one character present 99.9 % of the time and I'm very involved and have been part of the RP for a few years now. If you make a character you care about and sympathize with, it is the only one you'll ever need.
