NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month- as you might have found out if you'd checked the links in my sig...
As things stand, you and Teddy did sort of spring to mind, but I'd say Teddy would have to give permission himself for me to use him (or a character based on him), but feel free to create a character based on yourself and I'll be more than happy to give you at least a cameo role.
Thanks for the character Elemental- I'll just go and add it to my notes, kick it about for a little and refine it into something that'll fit...
Edit: And your character is down on paper Elemental (though he did undergo a summary promotion to Major to make certain he fitted the staff role you suggested)
