I assume we can't vote for ourself no? So I won't vote untill it is clear to me.

3 warlocks, 2 duellists and 1 Shadow Thief!
Nice. ;)

Btw I won't vote either.

Decados

Interesting choice of characters indeed.

I too feel that it is best if the six of us only use the Neutral vote. Helps keep it fairer.

Caradhras's
Decados's
Chev, I am shocked. You are normally a paragon of good grammer, but this is atrocious. The second 's' after the apostrophe shouldn't be there as both names end in an 's' already.

It's optional, not obligatory.

Based on integrity, (or more accurately lack there of), it would probably be more "fair" if everyone voted for their own character :) .

I choose Caradhras' Helldritch. I'm not all into evil characters, but this one just came out so well done I love it :) . There's real purpose with this character and the way the Bioware games are always set up, this character will also have actual game motivation to stay in character the whole time!

Based on integrity, (or more accurately lack there of), it would probably be more "fair" if everyone voted for their own character In which case I'm too late as I've already gone Neutral. Ah well, I'm not that bothered.

I have voted neutral as well.

Neutral and Decados...chev is actually quite correct according to my grammar professor. ;)

The usual spelling for normal names (i.e. not classical names, not English names of famous people and not religious names) is s's.

I think Chevalier's grammar is correct as well. As a 10 year old, I was taught that you add the apostrophe after the thing / person that was doing the possessing and then you added an "s", unless the thing / person was a plural, in which case you left it off. Neither Decados nor Caradhras are plurals so they need the "s", unless I was taught a load of old bollocks, in which case I should hunt down my teacher and kick his butt for leading me astray all these years.

I wonder who will actually get to play their character first. If only the prize in this competition was a new PC!

Hmm, I admit I could be wrong here. I have not done any special studying in English.

I was simply taught that if the name of the possessing person ended in an 's' then there was no need to add another one on.

I apologise if I am mistaken. ;)

No problem. ;) Traditionally, you should add the 's except when it's plural or a classical name. The real hardcore would be always to add it in singular. However, as years pass, more and more instances of skipping the additional s after the apostrophe are deemed acceptable. For example, I've seen James' in grammar books. I tend to be conservative, myself. ;) Anyway, more votes, please. ;)

I voted Vanessa, simply because there just isn't enough Shadow Thief love

Voted Uytuun's Lynne. There's just something about halfling rangers that I love.

Voted for Arya 'cause I enjoy characters without grandiose explanations or backgrounds. Simple - I like to fight, but I'm not strong - so I'll go dualist haha. I also got turned on by Arya 'cause tomboy's rock.

Arya. Enough said.

The slow to trust, quick to anger and not being the most diplomatic person got me totally sold out.

This is tricky all the characters are interesting and well developed. I'm torn between Faye's Vanessa and Decados' Obscurion. They are both very intriguing I'm getting the urge to put them both in the same party on one of the IWD games although I'm not sure how the contrasting personalities would come to travel together. Okay I think I've decided..... *drum roll* Decados' Obscurion just edges it as I think the character has more room for future growth where as Vanessa is stuck with the Shadow Thieve's and doesnt really possess the attributes to adopt a new class.
