It's cuz I'm sneaky and devious and such, you know?
Kri - sent you a PM with a rough character concept and a couple of questions (or question-like phrases, anyway)... Lemme know what, if anything, you want me to change or tweak, etc and, once that's done, I'll put some polish on the guy and post him up on the crew thread.
Edit: In fact, I just went ahead and tacked up the little bit that I sent your way on the Crew thread, anyway... If you need me to make changes (and when I get around to finishing things off) I can always edit, right?
