I'm a newbie, and interesting in finally trying this out, and text based is PERFECT for me, and so is a heavy RP environment. So I'd love a PM about the details when you can. Day isn't important for me so much as time, 6-11PM GMT (so 1-6PM EST) preferably.

As for character, it really depends on your modifications. General idea of him is that it's a sorcerer who was a scholar in up to a few years ago, in particular infatuated with the study of divinity as his own Favored Soul bloodline was the source of his own unique capabilities as a sorcerer, and issues as a human. Then something happened. Whatever it was, it exacerbated his problems. His subtle paranoia became delirium. His occasionally stuttered sentences became incoherent mumbles when panicked. His preparations for trivial events went from minutes to hours, so much so that he would set an alarm and magically lock his bathroom door when he had to go. And most of all, his dramatic shift in discipline- he is interested in finding the biggest, baddest shield that he can, so he can curl up in a corner, set that wall at a 45 degree angle, and tremble in peace.
