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.
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).
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.
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.
I wanted we all to be online and together because this is a party RPG and things will go smoothier when all are together. The game will be like this: I post a little story on what surroundings you are and what you, as a party, can do with maps and pictures too. Sooner or later you will come across monsters. Then you 5 are going to fight against a group of monsters defined by me by rolling dice. If people post on different hours, it is possible, but the adventure will take longer.

My timezone is +2 GMT wich is about +7 hours to the server time. I'd figure that B-E-T-A, lucky_dwarf and DagothGares are in +1 GMT, so that's +6 difference with the server time.
How do critical hits work?

@KOH, Okay I gotcha.
Keskimaton, as you are gonna be the leader(I think?) what do you propose we use a party name?
Actually, let's all(the players) make our suggestion about a party name.
How about the "Goofing heroes"?

So it's actually 11 PM at your country now? Uhhm.
How do critical hits work?
I'll give you an example on how this works using your cleric and one of his powers:
Balasar is going to use his "Righteous Brand" Power against monster X. You roll your attack roll to try hitting that monster with 1d20+5 (modifier you see on your power card, on the character sheet) against enemy Armor Class (AC).
You are going to roll at your home 1d20 be it with real dice or one of the dice programs I provided, then you tell me in your turn:
Balasar: Righteous Brand attack roll on monster X: 1d20+5 = [your roll]+5. You may hit him or not depending on his AC.
The critical happens when you obtain a 20 on the dice roll of that or any other attack roll. When this happens you don't need to roll damage on the 1d8+3, which is the case of our power, you automatically hit Monster X and get the maximum value possible out of your damage roll, in this case = 11 damage. I'll add some other effects too, like dismemberment.

So the best forum time for you and Keksimaton would be at around 01:00 PM forum time so it would be 08:00 PM on your country?

Thanks. It's just this info we need. For being coperative I'll give you a little prize; a picture of how the first Elf looked like in the D&D first Edition taken from the first book of the series (that is 1974 and I wasn't even born, but I have it here with me):
So yeah... LOL.

Heh...Both of the characters are complete(I Think) with inventory, feats and history. Now the problem is to chose which one to take.

okay, why did we band together? i'm pretty sure my character would be in a very venomous mood if someone called her "goofy"

So would mine be aswell
We banded together cause...I don't know, the GM decides.
Btw, I sent my character. I rolled a dice/flipped a coin and decided to play the elven ranger(cause it was less cliché in her story than in the other one...I think). Sent the file to KOH.

@KnightofHonor: Thanks. 
@B-E-T-A: We can discuss leadership later (perhaps in character?) and I don't think that the adventurers would name their group unless asked to. I figure that once they get famous enough the people would come up with a catchy name that would rub onto them.
Mostly when I'm available it's between 10:00 to 15:00 server time (not on wednesdays or when I get inspired to do something meaningful), but during the weekends and on vacation I might get on a bit earlier.
You know, I've always thought of elves as being the fantasy substitute for the french; an entire civilization of pansies highly regarded for their culture. A bit snooty too.
