openings in AD&D2 PBEM

There are a couple of openings in a play-by-email AD&D 2nd Edition game.  The
primary constraints from my perspective are:
- Players interested in role-playing (making up interesting but minor aspects
  of the campaign is welcome, as is interesting dialogue or description)
- Players who read and respond to their mail quickly, preferably once per
  day on weekdays.
- Players who don't mind if *I'm* slower than that when my schedule tightens
  up [double standard, double standard!]
- More background will be available to those who contact me saying they're
  delighted with the above constraints -- especially if accompanied by a
  brief character description. :-)

- Munchkins need not apply
- Don't bother to respond after 7 May 1993; past experience on these bboards
  seems to say there'll be dozens of replies by then.

Roleplaying considerations:
The game is in progress.  You will probably shortly (within a couple of weeks
of realtime, shorter in gametime) join (or at least meet) one of the parties
already adventuring (they have a few game-days head start on you).  Don't
expect them, necessarily, to welcome you with open arms (at first).

I need:
  One cleric of any Good alignment
  One stealthy type of non-evil alignment
I am willing to consider one or two other "interesting" characters, or people
willing to play "not-quite player characters (NQPCs)" but you might have to
wait a while longer before joining the others.

The campaign area appears at first glance to be a "standard pseudo-mediaeval
environment".  Existing groups have particular missions they're on already.

Characters start with 5000 EP; any AD&D1 or AD&D2 race; use the nonweapon
proficiencies; use "#languages" from the INT table as additional
proficiencies.  Non-multiclassed characters will gain a minor boon of my
choice.  Start with whatever equipment seems reasonable.

Magic is less predictable than in the standard rules.
