Now you guys have:
B-E-T-A - Undefined Ranger
DagothGares - Tiefling Warlock
Keksimaton - DragonBorn Cleric of Ioun (Unaligned Goddess of Knowledge, Skill and Prophecy).
lucky_dwarf - Eladrin Rogue
mamgaeater - Human SwordMage
Since Keksimaton is going to be a cleric here are some things to remind him:
Ritual Casting: He chose to also be a ritual caster and can use ritual casting spells from your Ritual Book in combat as a standard action per turn or outside of combat depending on the circumstances. In the future you can learn and buy more ritual spells too. See subsection A.5 of the rules post for more info.
Healing Skill: Besides your powers that allow other characters to spend healing surges for free (indirect healing like in "healing word" - also note that even though "Healing Word" is not appearing on your power descriptions below the character sheet, it is a encounter power you can use twice per comat, once per round. It is ranged and has the following effect: target spends one of his healing surges automatically +1d6 bonus of regained HP - it is a class feature so that's why its not on the powers list), you can use your Heal Skill during combat to try healing any ally as a standard action per turn. For that you must stand adjacent to him and make a Healing Skill Check (1d20+3 in your case) against a DC of 10, so it is pretty easy to heal. It works on a different way on 4th ED though, when you are sucessfull your ally spends one of his healing surges automatically and for free.
Stabilize the dying: As part of the Healing Skill you can stabilize the dying to, of course, avoid his death. Use this instead of a standard healing skill check if the target has no healing surges left (use healing if he has healing surges so that he can get back to combat as above). To stabilize someone with 0 HP stand adjacent to him/her and make the same Healing Skill Check (1d20+3) against a DC of 15. If you suceed the target "stops dying" untill someone can administer to him a healing potion or use a power that grants recuperation of HP. If not you have to take a extended rest after combat so he wakes up after 12 in-game hours as good as new.
Grant a Saing Throw: As part of the Healing Skill you can make a Healing Skill Check against a DC of 15 to grant a free saving throw roll instantly to a nearby ally as a standard action once per tunr. So, for instance, if he is taking ongoing fire damage from a fireball, you can choose to hasten his saving throw before he takes the damage on his turn. Ally also gains +2 to his Saving Throw roll.
Treat Disease: As part of the Healing Skill you can treat diseases on a target. You can do that only when your part is resting. Roll a regular Healing Skill Check against a DC number that depends on the disease (informed by me). If you suceed target is cured. If not the party has to take another 6 or 12 hours rest if you wish to try again. Characters can also make a Endurance Check vs the disease DC but only after a extended (12 hour) rest to see if they are cured when suceeding. Diseases progress in time if not cured, accumulating negative effects.
Poisons: Poisons have limmited durability and can be treated only if their description allows it. Usually they work different from diseases, they act more instantly, during combat, and characters have to make saving throws to resist them according t eac monster and it's poison, poisoned food or poison from other sources (I'll specify it).

Indeed. Take a look on what the Char Builder has to offer. You could be a regular fighter, warlord, barbarian etc. They also have their special builds you can choose.
Also sorry but I can't put your name on the main post, since, for some reason, I get a HTTP 406 error all the time I try to update the main post. But don't worry, you are in.
@DagothGares
EDIT: cleric is a leader?
In the builder it says their role is that since they would be a kind of spiritual incentive of some sort and are always healing. But no one has to follow orders from another because of that. Unless you guys choose to do so. Actually in 4th ED all monsters and chars have a "Role". For the monsters it defines their behaviour in combat. For chars it is just a reference so that you know what your companion is likely to do.

Yeah, I took them for the defender of sorts. they can wear rather heavy armor, so I figured They could soak damage while healing the party and such. Apparently, more of a leader role, but nothing's set in stone. And dragonborn have hogh constitutions after all!

Now we just need mamgaeater and B-E-T-A to define their classes, send them to me and we can start the adventure.
When that's done it would be better to define a time that everybody can play, since it's weekend now we have more time but we need to know when everybody is going to be online.
Here in my country it's now currently 20:00, despite the 06:59 above. SO I guess we have about 1 hour diffenrence from forum time, not a big one for me.

Ok, don't want to rush you. Take your time if you wish. Mamgaeater has yet to define his class too. Just plz don't take looooong like a month or something. The adventure is already ready to be played, as I'm writing it this days.

I have like a six hour difference with forum time. To me it's 1:12 AM
I can usually play late in the evening and late in the afternoon...
So yeah...
I think it's better if we gather the time zones of everyone here. Mine is GMT +1

Agreed. But I don't understand it you have a 6 hour difference and the "GMT" is +1?
Perhaps we should all use forum time and decide a better time under that time to have a easier common ground. I also can post here late at night.

Hehe *pretends nothing happened*.
Seriously though I suggest we play at say 19:00 or 07:00 PM by forum time when everybody finishes their characters. If it is like 5 AM for you say it and we change. I'm awaken until late at forum time (04:00 AM +/-). I can play any day at this time.

Well, when I looked at the sheet for time zones last, Norway was in +1 time. But when I have the forum on +1, they say I wake up at 05:45 instead of 11:45...
Btw KOH, GMT is the official timezones used all around the world. It goes from a range between -12 and +12 with 0 being Great Britany and Big Ben. East is plus and west is minus.
Norway is in timezone GMT +1 last time I checked
America is in alot of timezones, all beign - es.
About the story of the character; If I got to write all that I would have to write a short chapter/book >.>

Ok we should all use 0 on the forum GMT on profile settings so we have a common ground yes? Then we schedule a time to play. I don't really see a problem with it. Once you send me your character I post here asking when everybody is ready to start and we find a common ground.
As for the backgrund you want to be a Ranger right? Suppose you are a elf ranger. Just tell a little story about him. He has a companion like a little animal of some sort? He has any scars or bear any grudges against a particular race/place or individual? What is his alignment, god and why he likes his god (god descriptions are given on the builder but ou can ask me too). You can do it in less then 5 minutes. Just one little bit of insight to give him a personality.

Roger that sir. But what I can't understand is: Why do we all need to be online and play at the same time. It's not like we are on a chatting page. Of course it's a little nice and I think theories why you don't want to do this like a normal forum RP. But just tell me why.(Not that I am against it, just that I can see a downside of it).

The elf ranger is a she
The Gitzhei ranger is a he
Writing history for both right now. Then I'll see which one I like the most.
