Here's a reminder of the creation process, copied and pasted from the sign up thread.
Each character has 250 points - note that buying Pattern or buying Blood of Amber are requirements.
The Attribute Auction will be first, in the following order (explanations about what these attributes actually are will come later):
Psyche
Strength
Endurance
Weaponskill
Tactics
We will then auction off miscellanious goodies. Some of these are all or nothing bids. Order is top to bottom:
Birth Order: determines order of succession. Highest bid is eldest, second is #2 and so on. Those who do not bid are Olin's out-of-wedlock children.
Olin's favorite: Dad liked you best. His trusted adviser, Cameron, will be told to take care of you and also perhaps entrust you with some other things as well.
Deworin's favorite: Grandfather liked you best. A crazy old kook, but he was the one who created the universe by drawing the pattern. He's been missing for ages but maybe he left you an important clue?
Queen Eileen's favorite : Olin's wife wishes to see you on the throne. (Must be a child of hers to bid.)
Nala's favorite: Olin's mistress likes you. What secrets might she have unearthed?
Rebma's Champion: Moire, the Queen of Rebma, the Under Sea Kingdom bordering Amber, supports your claim to the throne.
Spymaster: You control the royal spy network. This is a secret auction and only the winner will know who claims this.
Castellan's Favorite: Prince Jules controls the palace guard and defenses of Castle Amber. He supports your claim.
Steward of Amber City's Favorite: Princess Wanda runs the City militia and day to day government. She supports your claim.
Lord Marshal's Favorite: Prince Edric has the allegience of Amber's army, though it is scattered across Amber's borders. He supports your claim.
Admiral of the North's Favorite: Prince Gamon commans the northern fleet and the Shalomar Naval Base. You and he go way back.
Admiral of the South's Favorite: Princess Siobhan commands the southern fleet and the Mystara Naval Base. She's your best friend.
Warden of Arden's Favorite: Princess Rhone commands the Arden Forest waywatchers, controlling the main land route to Amber. She feels you're the best choice for ruler.
Treasurer's Favorite: Lord Aiden controls the wealth of Amber and has the keys to the vaults. He also happens to be the supreme judge. He feels you're the prudent choice for rule.
Lady Azure's Favorite: The Ambassador of the Chaos Courts and sorceress supreme finds you incredibly interesting. She loudly proclaims you to be the best choice for ruler and seems intent on getting you there!
Bride/Groom of the Serpent: The Serpent (physical representation of Logrus/Chaos) likes you. I mean, really really likes you. Where this might lead, who can say?
What's in the box? - You don't know what's in the box, but it'll be something worth having.
You don't have to bid on any of these if you don't want to. If no one bids, the person of interest remains neutral or the item of interest is assigned to an NPC sibling.
These auctions are held in this manner: Opening bids are secret, bids after that are public. Winner of auction is announced. Only the winner actually has to spend the points.
Role of Spymaster is a once off secret bid with the winner not being publicly announced. What's in the Box winner is announced but the identity of what's inside remains secret.

Any questions (and their ought to be quite a few) can be directed at me here.
Also if there's anyone out there that hasn't yet seen this game and wants to jump in and be a part of it, just say so now before we get too far into the auctions...
