I like that idea personally. That way, the GM's not overwhelmed with handling too much at once, but everyone gets their 'shot' without losing their characters willy nilly.
Talking about characters, this lot needs a cheery lass into the mix!
Name: Emily McPhearson
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Appearance: Lightly browned blonde hair, which has a mini side tail with a small bow to hold it. Startlingly blue eyes, almost always smiling. Wears a just-above-knee-length tartan skirt and a over-sized blazer, her hands often covered by the sleeves.
Element: Water
Skills: Speech, Lockpick, Spot
Bio: Emily is friendly and outgoing and often has alot of energy to go with it. If there's one word to sum her up, it would be bubbly. Quick to make friends, she tends to get on with most people. However, her attention span isn't all it could be, and hasn't really thrived in a learning environment, often needing to copy someone's homework to catch up.
She is a surprising package though, demonstrating intelligence where noone would think she had, courage in defending her friends and a weird out of place ability to pick a lock. Emily also chooses to believe in the best in people, wishing everyone a happy time. This attitude coupled with an uncanny instinct, gives her an air around her that relieves people.
Emily has a knack for spotting things that other people miss entirely. Noone knows for sure, but it often seems as a result of her shorter attention span. Where people focus on one thing, she tends to look elsewhere.
