As for my availability/time zones, I'm presently between jobs and in EST time, lots of free time if a little weird for timing. My preferred character is a Kakita Bushi, very traditional duelist type. We're gonna need a Courtier for him to be attached to, natch. I also tend to like very social/political/intrigue games, which I find L5R to be amoung the best systems/settings for. Combat's really too deadly for this to be a "Let's get us some swards and dun stick a dargon." kind of game. Also, stabbing Dragons is usually a bad idea anyways(Unless they're smug Mirumoto punks who think that because they use their wakizashi they actually stand a chance against the Kakita). Anyways, feel free to add my Skype(ampzaphrix), just make sure to lemme know who you are.
