Unless you check the box "put a copy into my sent box", it doesn't.
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but the more I write about my character, the more excited I get. I really have the feeling this character is going to grow on me, and I want to see where he ends up going and what he ends up doing. I also get the impression the interactions between the characters and Rat will be interesting. All that's left is choosing knowledge skills, but I already have an idea of what he knows and what he doesn't.
