You misunderstand what I meant by " make them appear."  I never meant to 
imply that they should appear suddenly as shallow cookie-cutter actors.  
When I "make an actor appear" I create a background, a personality, and 
a set of motives.  The actors are the key to making a setting come to 
life.  If we want Rugtero to be a rich, full, and interesting setting we 
need to create rich, full, interesting actors to make things happen.  
When I make a character, I start with a seed of an idea, and build up in 
layers to develope who the Actor is, why they are that way, and most 
importantly, how they will react to events. 


Existing actors would be nice, but do we have them?
Later,
Rick
