Is the game already abandoned? You've seemingly gone radio silent, and the deadline is fast approaching.

I found The Spheres 5e Wiki, which looks interesting. Particularly since it looks like I can try to recreate something that I miss from 4e (and entirely other systems): Psychic powers/Psionics. But from the posts above, it sounded like @OutKastJones was considering using the spheres, but that the decision hadn't been finalized yet at the time of posting.

I am curious about this game. The experimental nature of it appeals to me, but it also introduces some uncertainties. Perhaps you can alleviate some of them.

1. How do we apply for the game? Do we craft a character and let you decide whether we're accepted based on it?

2. If I understand correctly, we start without racial traits. But we still start with some race, right? So... do we choose one from a list, or make a description from which you'll decide, or something else?

3. Do we select a background, directly or otherwise, which explains what the character did before the start of the game?

4. Do we roll or point buy stats? Or are stats determined by our description?

5. For our backstory, do we add whatever elements we need to the world? I.e. can we add whatever locations/groups/families we need to make it work as long as it doesn't contradict existing lore, or do you want strict control over everything that exists? You obviously have the final word anyway, obviously.

6. I'm not familiar with the 5e spheres. Is it something I should sit down and learn?
