The Ratio, as it stands, would sit at:
13;10
Males to females.
My friendo has been getting really busy with work and school lately, so he hasn't been able to work on his character yet (well finish him; he's a little under halfway done, I'd say). I have no qualms with sitting this one out because I don't want to ask or force people to make more characters, should they not be comfortable with that. If anything, it'll lighten my load with work and school. I was definitely looking forward to this, but I don't mind lurking instead and if my schedule clears up, perhaps I can fill in an opening that pops up down the road.
I'll gladly be a standby should you need any last minute fills or if someone vanishes or leaves out of disinterest. It's good to have a few back ups and I definitely don't mind being one. My character's already finished and good to go, so it's a lot less work for me if I come in down the line should someone drop. Frees me up for, perhaps, until my fall break or later, and it keeps the ratios nice and even! I'm sure my friendo wouldn't mind that either. :)
