It's time for a wonderful adventure. An adventure so grand that time itself will weep once the magical threads of story unravel, creating a mess of plot and character development which would take days, nay, years to clean from the collective memory of human-kind. And even once it has been cleaned whispers of it's legacy will live on in the hearts of many, those who are brave enough to tell this story at more then a whisper will be known as prophets! But to protect the stability of the land the authorities will chase them down and turning them into outcasts. All of this will but add to the mighty legend, the legend of adventure!

So yeah, adventure, gonna be good.

But who are our heros?

Rules for character making:
Keep things PG for starters. No prostitutes will be going adventuring today unfortunately. The setting is fantasy(DF, Dungeons and dragons, that kind of thing) so the proffesions should be things like swordsman, wizard, animal tamer, ect. But since those all sound bland i'm going to have a strong preference for picking the fanciest sounding profession.

Just a note on magic: Things like Wizard are to general so have a special area of magic, like 'runic fire magic' instead of 'magic'.

EDIT: Oh and race, Human by default but you can suggest something else if you want. I forgot to put it on the image.

That's fine. You don't need two.
EDIT: by that i mean i won't necessarily take both of the characters from one suggestion so it's still valid.

Turn 1:

Ah yes, our heros are Talara Mistwalker and Ryan Griffith. Mighty Runic Frost wizard and temporal Warden, the ultimate combination when it comes to adventuring. With these two at the helm of this mighty adventure nothing can go wrong. But wait, what is this adventure about anyway? I had better look it up....

...

Oh, it's an adventure in civic managment. Well, this could still be epic, somehow. Afterall it is...

Build a Village 2!

How unexpected.

Well let's check out the site of this village that we will be building.

SITE: Warning: This is a really big image. Unless you have a large screen you will have to scroll to see it all (I suggest right clicking the image and go 'view image').

After being dropped off by friendly merchants and their magificent flying machine our heros and their band of settlers await their orders.

This soon-to-be-village needs a name to come to think of it.

Population:

What is that I hear you ask? 'Wait, how do runes work?' Well basically you pick one rune out of each category (slot 1, slot 2, slot 3) and that makes a spell. Since i couldn't decide how much mana spells like this should take I decided that you pick the amount of mana you put into a spell. So for example, right now you only have one combination Average Cold Projectile, which does what it says on the tin. If you put 1 mana into it then the spell will pretty much be a isolated coldish breeze. If you put 12 into it then it would be enough to freeze some water.
