Recruiting for 4th Ed. Planescape play-by-post

I'm starting up a new play-by-post game and am looking for players. The idea is to mash together the original take on Planescape with all the 4th edition revisions to come up with something that maybe possibly makes sense.

[ic=The pitch]Here's the idea: five years ago, everything went all to blek. Due largely in part to Asmodeus finally becoming a proper deity, the Great Wheel cosmology shattered, and the outer planes went flying all over the place, leaving us more or less with the 4th edition cosmology. There are countless new planar refugees, escaped slaves from the Blood War, and clueless primes who got sucked into the middle of it all when the transitive planes changed. And as usual, the city of Sigil is a microcosm of it all. It survived the utter destruction of the Outlands and the toppling of the Spire, but its infamous interplanar gates still work just fine, with new ones being discovered by the minute. It's got more fresh immigrants and new troublemakers than perhaps ever.

The PCs are members of the Elephant and Castle Company, a somewhat seedy mercenary company in the Hive. Many of its members are Primes who had nowhere else to go after finding themselves Caged. Its guildmaster is attracting new members to fuel his personal mission - to reclaim the company's old guildhouse, which is literally a castle on top of a giant stone elephant.[/ic]

This game will be full of Planescape-y goodness, and I may give some kind of rewards for good roleplaying. If you're playing a native Cager and want to try your hand at speaking the part, there's a delightful reference here: http://www.mimir.net/cant/cant2.html

The actual game will take place here on rpol.net.
