Wellington's Annual Roleplaying Convention - 20th & 21st January, 2007
Below is the list of characters available for the Flight of the Hindenburg event. To secure your character for the live game you will first need to pre-register your details. When registering, please indicate that you wish to play in the live game and indicate a first, second, and third character preference. If you have already pre-registered, feel free to update your preferences via the online registration form.
If nothing is catching your fancy, please remember there is a lot more to all the characters than can be revealed here. When you register simply state what type of character you're interested in playing and the organisers will get back to you with some suggestions that fit your criteria. Additionally, if you have an idea for a character that you would like to play that is not listed here, please contact the organisers, and we will see what we can do.
As characters are assigned to players, the Taken box will be set. When this happens that character is no longer available. The producers, as is usual for such events, reserve the right to cast people for roles, and there is no guarantee you will get your first preference, even if you are first to apply for a character.
To assist us in casting, if you have played in a Kapcon live game or attended an Aliens event in the past, please let the organisers know in which game and what role you played.
