1)You want reports from famous heroes of the Temple of Freedom they are there on Marcus' site signed by people named Carabas and Gish.
2)Juilin came from where you wanted him to come from, does whatever you think he should in the world he lives. Why is it all or nothing? Why must Juilin have a precisely defined world in which to exist, or have no existance?
1)No one should have to write 2000 words if they don't want to, especially not just to start. You must get them hooked first, and if they don't yet know how to roleplay you must then guide them so they get better, help them get kit and form characters. Perhaps after a year or for their second character they could be asked to write more, to define more, but let them learn to walk before asking them to hurdle.
