What's the difference between the herald and role? Am I supposed to send webadict a character bio? Is the "meaning" of my herald supposed to be symbolic (e.g. love)?
The herald is equivalent to the flag of your character. You send what you want. If you want a meaning, go ahead. If you want red racing flames, go ahead. Assuming it's "culturally relevant" enough.

As this is a BYOR, you will be asked to PM a coat of arms to Webadict, Solifuge, and myself (Vector), from which your role will be constructed.  This consists of colors and symbols that would appear as part of your role's family heraldry (see here for more information than you could possibly want), from which Webadict will create your actions.  You don't need to make a picture--words are fine.
Aww sweet, can I-

2. I am pretty flexible, but if it flat-out does not fit the tone (example: spacecraft), I will make it fit the tone (myth-and-legendish early 1500s Denmark with a thing for Shakespeare); 3. The themes of this game are Faith, Fate, and Governance;
Oh.  Nevermind.  :(
Psssst... Be clever about it. ;)
Faith ... so would a priest and a couple of altar boys fly?

Posting to watch. I like this concept a lot, and I expect great things after the last game!

Watching for now because I am lame and don't have the patience for more than one mafia game at a time.

Now you're thinking with pastors!

EDIT: Also, just remember that Vector can and WILL make adjustments to things. So, if you want to play dressdown with a bunch of little kids in your story, she'll make you pay for it.

Whenever you want. Just send the coat of arms to Vector, me, and Solifuge.

This looks really cool. I'm not sure if I'm ready for another mafia game, but this is certainly making me think about it.

I don't think they'll take "The winner of Iron Diadem" as your coat of arms.

"Faith, Fate, and Governance" doesn't mean that you have to make your role carry that theme.  It just means that that's what I'll be talking about, and what the underlying pieces of the game will be structured to bring out.

Also, this.
