Sorry AT, but if it's any consolation, Xir'ain is a whole lot of fun to write.
No one has had to wait too long for their blueprints to be done so far, but we've only gotten up to five posts, which is easy enough to hit just by waiting for the others to post. If it does begin to slow your keeper down, just post for something other then your keeper while you wait. Constructs are perfect for perspective shifts, and if you don't have one of those just use a common minion.

I recall in a previous DK roleplay that I got a level 7 creature and 5 constructs, and I'm pretty sure somebody else made it to level 8 creatures and 6 constructs. I don't even remember the 40+ post waits, so I doubt it was that bad.
Ah shoot, disease was going to be a part of my rogue being as well. Well, I guess I'll let you have that theme and just tweak my guy a little bit. My planned backstory was that he created a plague for humans but stirred the cauldron too much and accidentally got some in one of his eyes. That withered and corrupted eye can melt the flesh off of anything it stares at.
I guess I could just be more vague and say that he was conjured up a curse. Actually, that works perfectly.
Alright, that clears things up. Looks like I've been misreading the post wait idea, I thought it would involve the players own posts, which didn't make much sense. Thanks.
I haven't really planned anything yet for a Construct. So far I like the idea of flying around by night in the form of a demon moth, spreading suffering and sickness wherever the dust falls from my decaying wings (don't we all). Just roaming around and making life worse for everyone I come across, basically. Your idea seems more thought out, so feel free to make that first in whatever way you like and I'll find another niche.
As for a Keeper, though, I'm thinking of a general 'cleric'-type race, that heals, repairs or enervates the other Keeper armies/dungeons on a massive scale, or at least those it finds favour with. Aquatic things are still fun, so I might go for a coral reef dungeon, with delicate floating jellyfish minions. While I'm at it, my Keeper could also convince humans to become their servants by healing and soothing their pain to appear as a benevolent god-figure (to the humans they like, again. The rest can get eaten by ogres). Whatever I do, though, I'm going to think through my character ideas a while longer before I hop in.
E: An idea for the construct. Perhaps in the former realm, the ones the first Keepers destroyed, there was a construct (or similar being) that attempted to bring peace by supporting the human effort as a healing force (like my prototype Keeper), taking the form of a sacred butterfly. The old Keeper that defeated the construct hated the butterfly, and decided to refrain from destroying it completely in favour of sending it into the new dimension in a demented moth form of its old body. The new body, which the healer could not control but was imprisoned within, would feel nothing but malice and hatred for all life and would unknowingly torment the old soul within by going against everything the butterfly had believed in. Or something like that. Still thinking about all of this. We obviously already have an insect faction, for one, but the general idea could still work with different aesthetics.
