The language is primarily verb initial.
Nouns are capitalized. Prepositions are mainly used, but are written glued together in polymorphemes (Hallow XIII's idea, I think, from the Miniconlangs Thread). The internal order of these polymorphemes will have official suggested forms as examples of best practice.
Subject and object are unmarked in the informal language besides by word order, together forming a common case in the direct (active) form. When this order is changed, e.g. for the indirect forms (passivization and valence changing), the cases re-emerge. The passivization of the verb means that the oblique cases emerge. The obliques are the cases besides the nominative, which all have extra prepositions. The subject in these may be shifted anywhere but is still unmarked. Therefore the direct form will be reffered to as the S2 (subject second form), and the others as the O2+(e.g. "zo", aka the indirect object preposition) forms.
Direct form
Verb + Subject + (PREP + Object) + (PREP + Indirect Object)...
Indirect form
Verb + "co" + PREP + (Object, Indirect Object, etc.) + Subject....
All verbs and some nouns have official theta role markers that can be used to evoke the rest of the frame pleonastically or piecemeal, if one chooses to use them, but there are probably too many of them to use all the time because there are about 600, and 150 high-frequency ones. (Nabbing this idea from Voksigid and FrameNET.) Nevertheless they're still there if you want 'em.
There will be attutitudinals and emphasizors, as well as articles and other particles. Nouns are not obligatorily marked for plurality.
The language I describe here will not at all be pro-drop, but as in English, that predilection can be shifted by speakers through habit, and of course a null-pronoun can eventually come into play.
