I can't wait to see it, and welcome!
-It's more than what most, including myself, did before we joined the site. I kinda dove in head first; Skimmed the rules ;)
I used to RP with the Hands of Darkness (a SWToR RP Guild) some years ago with a character by the same name. This was before the MMO came out and all we had was forum RP. Unfortunately by the time the MMO was released, my second child was born and I started a new job. So all manner of free time went out the window.
Now, the baby is no longer a baby and the job isn't proving as stressful as it once was. So I am blessed with a bit of spare time to indulge my RPing itch.
As far as Rune, I'm essentially recycling him from then and making alterations so he fits in this timeline.
