[DnD 4e PbP] Game On!

Registered User regular
So I have decided that one cannot play too much DnD.
I'm going to run a second game of Casino Royal as a PbP for those who may be interested but cannot sit for 4-5 hours on saturday evening. Those of you who who have applied for the maptools version may still apply here although I'm going to limit you to one game or the other. To avoid spoiling the Maptools game this will start this sunday.
Characters are level 4 with standard point buy system. You get level 5,4,3 magic items (one of each
) and 680 gp to spend or save however you like. You may take general or Scales of War backgrounds. Looking for a party of 5. Recruitment ends sometime in the very early morning hours of sunday.
The game style is Action/Survival Horror with some chances for comedy. The setting is well.. maybe we can call it.. Surreal.. It feels like it's a traditional setting but it isn't. Inside the game you will meet some characters that have actually existed on earth, and some characters from earth's literature and video games.
I would like to get some players out here who aren't involved in any other games to spread the love. If you fit this description please make it known. Feel free of course to submit characters if you are in another game on CF in case we can't fill the ranks with newcomers.

A man with a funny W shaped mustache has hired you as guards for his airship. He pays very well and has even given you a 680 gold retainer. The man who calls himself Dali pays for your drinks and insists you gather what things you need and meet him at the town gates as soon as possible.
At the gate Dali has rented a wagon for you to ride to his ship while he takes to his horse and leads the way down the road. After about 20 minutes he halts, pays the rider and asks you to follow him through some light woods. After a while you see the woods opening up into the clearing. A massive zeppelin holds a dozen feet over the grass. A rope ladder descends.

Personality
Sitting backstage was a funny looking man, a mustache which somehow seems to be a fuzzy W perched on his lip, is waiting backstage. "Mr Gran." He says simply, "Time to start your charter. Meet me with your goods outside, my wagon is waiting." He finished and began leaving.
Kel looked shocked, looking from the man to the gaggle of women waiting for him backstage. "But... but... but..." He stammers, looking again at the women. "Can't you give me 15 minutes or so?" He says pleadingly. Dali continues walking out the door, ignoring the complaints from the star. With a sigh, Kel waved his hand at the stage-hands. "Looks like I don't have time for them." He said, slamming the door to his change room.
*****
Stepping out the front door of the inn, Kel looks a completely new man. Deep green hide armor atop some simple brown traveling pants adorn the bard. Even the temporary black dye was washed out, leaving his dirty blond hair, shoulder length, tied back in a pony tail. Shield, sword, and lute hanging from various places on his body, a pack contained the rest of the goods he thought he might need for the job.
"Quite the transformation, Kel." Dali said.
Kel smiled easily, "Oh, you know, whatever it takes for the gig." He chuckled to himself as he climbed aboard. "Speaking of the gig, any way you can give me more information about this? Never been on an airship let alone guarded one. Anything I should know." Dali was silent, and so Kel rambled on, "I guess I'll find out when we get there, eh? No sense giving people the opportunity to overhear us." He looked around conspiratorially at the fans of his that were leaving the inn, none of them even recognizing the bard without his makeup and outfit.
Edit: You said no DDI, so I assume Focused Expertise from Dragon Magazine 375 counts as that? (It's basically Weapon and Implement Expertise combined in one, but for a specific weapon (ex. Longsword) instead of weapon type (ex. Heavy Blade).

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER
Much interest here, despite being in another PbP already.
What to play though?
Hm, never actually played a Controller. How about a Wizard who is deathly afraid of heights and is only here because he misheard the guy with the moustache when he said airship?

Background and such to come later.
lol, sephiroth will not be appearing. Sorry to spoil your day. Also no hobbits. If you want to keep guessing you'll need to go a few hundred years back.
You can take any of the deities listed in the PHB's, the campaign setting source books, or the Divine Power stuff.
Sure just put a spoiler tag on it.
I couldn't access the page. You need to set it to public please.
phb 1 and 2, power books, no DDI please.
Whoops, sorry about that. Should be fixed now.
Background:
Kalis found himself awakening in his master's study, naked, clutching his master's orb. Everything around him was in ruins and dark voices whispering in his head. His fellow apprentice was slumped at the foot of the stairs, drooling mindlessly.
The voices in his head built to a crescendo, screaming to him to run. He grabbed what he could and fled.
Kalis had no memory of the last week before he left, and no idea what had happened other than occasional flashes of unintelligible dark text and a figure draped in shadow. Kalis has been on the run for a year now, the voices pushing him further on until fell in with his current companions.
Kalis is constantly distracted, lost in his own internal conflicts. While he can be extremely charming, more often that not his charm is interrupted as he drops out of conversation to argue with his voices.
It's a character that I was planning on putting through a longer RL campaign, but it'd be great to play with him in a shorter run to make sure that the mild insanity doesn't become tiresome.
As I mentioned before - I'm a pbp virgin. I'm based in Australia (GMT+10), mostly posting during the day, and some evenings.

Ah, alright go ahead and use DDI. I haven't got a subscription so you will need to copy your powers completely in mythweaver or orokos.

I have the player's guides. I don't really mind you using stuff from other sources, I'll trust you to be honest with them. I just need the info printed up somewhere so I can check it if I need to.
Ethan Filborne, Half-Orc Tempest Fighter
Background:
Personality:
Notice: I took the Noble background.
Aduan Hullek, Human Fighter
Background:
He is a tactician at heart, and tends to place himself on the front lines, distracting and hampering his enemies so that his allies can pick them apart.
Combat stuff:
He currently has Whip Training, which is a feat from Dragon; I can swap it out for Weapon Proficiency (Whip) if you'd prefer; the difference is that Whip Training takes up my multiclass feat, but allows me to impose a -2 penalty to attacking one target of my choice for one round on anybody I hit with a whip. Everything else should be out of the books.
Here's my submission:

Background and Personality:
Loud and boisterous, Nalas is always making wise cracks and loves a good fight. He is quick to make jokes but quicker to help someone he calls friend. Because of his upbringing he is unable to let a child come to harm either by action or inaction.
I have no problem throwing this into an online character sheet if you'd like. I traded a Level 3 item for a Level 2, I hope that's alright.
Edit: Here's the link to the character sheet: http://4e.orokos.com/sheets/1143 I just want to make it very clear that being able to upload a .dnd4e file is AMAZING and makes uploading character sheets a cinch.

I mean, where else could we get this stuff? Or has someone/is someone published/publishing "cracked" CB updates every month?

Asking because Orokos only accepts DDI sheets and doesn't let you edit it. I only have the free version so I just adjusted my feats and powers manually to reflect a level 4 character but my +1/2 level stats are off. I see everyone here uploaded a level 4 sheet to Orokos so wondering if they had a sub or just a hacked CB exe.
Of course, there's lots of things (such as orokos sheets) that link off to DDI for detail, so I imagine it can get a bit annoying if you're playing online heavily and/or don't have the source books.
I've heard tales of the aug character builder update about, but $10 for a single month really isn't that much to grab a copy of the builder even if you're going to just dabble in d&d, and if you're playing more heavily the DDI subscription is worth it.
