Hi, New player here.

Katie, they're poking fun at me.  I'm usually the "nice guy" in the group, who is always willing to help out, fix things, etc.  I apparently play a REALLY mean villain, when I put my mind to it.  (Honestly, Charlie?  I didn't even play the Bad Shepard - that was all Brian...)

Anyways... You look like you're on the right track.  Dwarf Healer - you have a good start!  Pick out some starting skills, and make a background, and you'll be all set!

Do you have any real-life skills or hobbies you can bring over as a Trade to your PC?  Cooking, sewing, carpentry, etc?  A lot of people make stuff OOG, that they use as trading material In-Game at the Market Faire.

Ah, Geoff played a good vampire in World of Darkness.  Sort of like Iogo saying "good, honest Iogo."

But he is correct in that Geoff is one of the nicest people you ever will meet.  He plays a mean bad guy (like the demon I exorcised) who is capable of very original improvs...

I am a very good baker, I also started learning to cook over a fire almost 20 years ago.  I make great doughnuts.  Chris (Bran) says I have to make my pumpkin bread to take with me.  I also was a medic in the army, so I am quite good in real life dealing with injuries. 

I have already finished writing up a background for my character, my brother says I have to wait till after I go for my first time to send it in.  Do I have to wait or could I email it now?

There is nothing saying you cannot submit your character history right away.  The only ruling on Character Histories is the following:

"Your character's history must be submitted to the Director no more than two months after you begin playing it, and must be approved before you may act upon anything contained in it."

That being said, it might be good practice to experience your first event as your new character before committing to the history.  This will give you a chance to understand the world a little better, as well as help you make the decision if you are, in fact, playing the race and class you would really like to month after month.  In the end it's your choice and you should choose what makes you most comfortable.

Please note that the character histories are not always approved right away, so it could be a bit of time before you can act on anything out of the ordinary you may have written in it.  You can always ask a staff member or Rules Marshal what is or is not acceptable when you arrive.

Oh, and welcome to KR.
