For this game, you may create a character using AD&D 2nd ed. rules, with one exception. I am allowing all classes in the Monster Manual. This is a double edged sword. If you pick a two-headed ogre, the towns people in the places you will be traveling will probably stone you, so choose wisely. I do not allow kits at this point in time, because I am not familiar with them.
For stats, please use the 3d6 method, then you may place the numbers where you would like. If you need a roller, there is a good one at http://www.irony.com/igroll.html
All characters start at level 1.
I place a strong emphasis on history and appearance. To obtain history information, please see the map page. If you have a picture of your character, please include it when you submit your character sheet.

History
Caylee
was raised by her mother, an elf, in a forest community. Her father had
been a passing gentleman, Caylee knew nothing of him, nor had she ever
met him. Her mother only said that he was very handsome. Her mother taught
her the trade of magic, so that one day she might take her place in their
community. Her grandfather, who use to be a guard in the King's army, taught
her to use sword and bow in defense. He doted on his granddaughter, and
arranged for her to have lessons in dance and singing. Caylee proved innately
adept at both, seeming to know what her instructor was going to say before
he did. Her grandfather presented her with a gift of shoes on her 16th
birthday. They were exquisitly crafted, durable enough to withstand the
rigors of walking, yet flexable enough to allow her to dance in them. One
day, while she was at a neighboring town visiting her aunt, her town was
attacked. The entire villiage was sacked and burned, and all it's inhabitants
killed. Caylee returned to find everyone she loved dead in the streets.
She ran to her home, and found it mercifully standing, if without its roof.
She entered the house, packed an old pack she found in her mother's closet
with some clothing, a blanket, flint and tinder, some extra clothing, her
shoes, all the money contained in the home, and her mother's spellbook.
She went into the town, and aquired all the money she could find from the
smoldering homes. She set out on her own. She was taught to steal by an
older woman who took pity on her starving in the street of some town or
another, unable to get work. The old woman was dying, and wanted to pass
on her knowledge. She did so with Caylee, and she also passed on her theive's
tools, which Caylee kept hidden in her pack until such time as she needs
them.
I will let you know how many spells/level will be contained in your spellbook based on your history.
