Ok here we can discuss our characters, alignments in particular, and Gary will not be reading this because he doesn't want to know until game day.
I want to play a neutral/evil party. Meaning we all make evil or neutral characters. You can certainly be lawful, but not good. Basically Gary doesn't want to have to balance good players vs evil player so its all neutral and one way or the other and I think going all evil will be a nice change of pace.
Now I know I am being a bit presumptious in assuming everybody is ok with this. (Vince for example mentioned being a follower of Odin.) However as an example of some of the cool kind of backstory you can come up with using norse mythology, here is the character I would like to run;
I'm going with a chaotic evil basher melee type class. Haven't decided which one but he will be a worshipper of Surtur, lord of the fire giants. His goal is to be his right hand jotunn working towards the realization of the Prophecy of Ragnarok and the destruction of the Bifrost (the bridge connecting Midgard and Asgard). His name will be Hakan Oddvar which loosely translated in Norse is "Fiery Spear's Point." Haven't worked on backstory yet, but suffice to say it will involve lots of chaos, destruction, and evil. Probably the result of some unnatural union between a Giant and some other despicable race.
