Sly, when and if you are accepted, then I would like for you to choose one character only. If you decide to kill off that character then you can replace him or her with another one (that's the rule I've set for everyone), but NOT until you've developed your first one. I myself as a Gm, have more than one character, because I feel it's necessary for me to better steer the story and for plot progression purposes. I'd like for Joan's group to be the main focus. Since you already posted with so many characters the only option for you to do is too kill all of them off except the one that you want as your main.
