Well, I have, for the time being finally come to the decision to drop Saren from this game.  I still have a desire to play him but I feel like he just wasn't the RIGHT fit for the game and it wasn't clicking with me.  So rather than taking up space, I figure I'll drop him.  Who knows, maybe I will re-app him in the future.  Instead I will probably be in a the market for a villain who I can play a little more naturally in this setting now though!

Obviously I still have other characters here so I will continue to see you all!!
