I've updated the OP with the characters that I've accepted so far. That ended up being all of the completed sheets. My goal if five characters, and right now it's at four. I may add a few more spots depending on how I work through some of the plot I am ironing out right now.

If you haven't been accepted, it might be because you didn't read through the rules close enough (#5 hint hint).

DemonTongue, your thoughts on the setting were greatly appreciated, and I will probably go along with most of your ideas. I'm thinking a mid-sized town, large enough to have it's own schools, but small enough to be able to walk to anywhere a kid would want to. As for your ideas about the plot, while yes, it is very open and the characters will be free to do what they wish most of the time, there will be certain forces coming in to steer the plot in a certain direction.
