Flicker:
I'm going to bounce a lot of these questions back to you; I want you to have plenty of say in what the game is like.
Right now, the town is something of a blank slate, outside of the fact that its resources are pretty meager. If you have an environment you prefer, you can let me know, or I can provide it. The last time I ran a similar game, the town was a mostly rocky/semi-mountainous area, and the lower elevations were a mixture of swamp, forest, and plains. But if you want something on the coast, or a place where the barriers to another plane are thin and it influences reality, we can do just about anything as long as some regular people would still choose to live there.
How about a big tropical jungle volcano island poking up out of a tropical reef? Maybe my guy had been there more or less alone for a long time with whatever gives him his mythic powers (maybe something big and immovable within the volcano?), and now a kingdom has sent settlers. And rather than try and push my guy out, they convinced him to help the people thrive, and the people could help him in turn.

I had intended to start your Mythic tier at half your level (so 6). I don't know how game-breaking it would be to have you all the way at 10 to start, but if that's what you would like, it's an option.
Six is plenty. Awesome. 10 would probably be game-breaking, so I won't be as greedy as I really want to be and will stay with tier 6.

I'll open up the character sheet when I post this. It's the sheet I normally use, but feel free to replace it if you have one you prefer.
Thanks! I plan to use one that I am familiar with. I will swap it shortly after I finish this post.

Traits and alternative favored class bonuses are available. I normally do something similar to background skills, so yeah, we can use those if you like. As a heads-up, you personally don't need the skills used in boosting the town stats; as you recruit followers, you can work with them during the challenge to use their skill modifier, so please don't feel like everything needs to come down to you. Some followers may want favors in return, but that's life. :P
Sounds great!
