Heyo friends. We'll hash out our characters in this thread. You all have varying levels of experience with Pathfinder, so please do not hesitate to ask me for assistance.
Here are the character creation parameters:
Stats: 25 point buy
Races: Core + Ratfolk, Aasimar, Tiefling, Kobold (if you play a Kobold, prepare for some roleplaying challenges: most people will initially see you as a monster).
Classes/Archetypes: Anything Paizo published other than Occult. If you play a Rogue or Summoner, they *must* be the Unchained versions.
Traits: Two traits, one of which must be a campaign trait for Hell's Rebels.
Skills: We will be using Background Skills.
Starting Gold: Maximum.
You'll also need to read the Hell's Rebels Player's Guide to familiarize yourself with the campaign. The above mentioned campaign traits will also be in the Player's Guide. It is a free pdf you can download from Paizo here
Once I've got everyone checked in, we'll start formulating what you want to play.
I am excited! I think this is gonna be a blast!
Oh, almost forgot! For making characters you can refer to either the Pathfinder SRD site or The Archives of Nethys. The SRD will have the most recent content updates, but I find the Archives to be much more nicely formatted/readable. I also have most of the relevant books, so can often answer questions about material directly. Woo!

Hello, this is Jerz.
FYI this character will change, but the name won't.
Tatiana here!
Still working on the name and well, everything else...
Just an FYI: you can change an alias name as much as you want until you’ve posted with it ten times. Feel free to post in his recruitment thread with your default profile if you want, so you don’t run out the “grace period” for name changing.

Hey,

I wonder if we're all playing women?

Noah here. I'm playing a (maybe?) gang-affiliated female human rogue who enjoys setting and taking apart traps, smuggling, fooling people, knifing people, knifing things other than people, and most blade activities. If she were a cheerleader she would yell "L-E-T-S-K-N-I-F-E." But usually she's pretty quiet. The avatar tells you how she feels about House Thrune.
Is there an optimal method for linking to my character sheet pdf, like on google drive or somewhere? I'm not familiar with the full range of services on this site.
Hey everyone! I did a big flub and included Background Skills as part of the game, which are a significant rules addition, and did not explain or link to the rules of such! What a goon, amirite?
So, quick version! The Background Skills system divides all of the games' skills up into two groups: Adventuring Skills and Background Skills. The normal skill points you would get based on your class, Intelligence, and race can be used to buy ranks in any of these skills as usual. However! You also get 2 bonus skill points to spend only on Background Skills. The main benefit of this is it lets you mechanically flesh out your character with skills reflective of their background (like Profession: Baker or whatever) without having to choose between that and much more game-vital skills like Acrobatics or Perception.
It also introduces two new skills (both Background Skills): Artistry and Lore.
Artistry covers the creation of things that aren't physical goods (which would be covered by the Craft skill). Things like poetry or choreography.
Lore represents a more limited or specific area of knowledge than the Knowledge skill. Knowledge (Religion), for instance, represents knowledge and education in all things pertaining to religion: different pantheons, holy texts, the creation and nature of undead, etc. Perhaps it doesn't make sense for your character to be a religious scholar, but she is a devout worshiper of Calistria. You could take Lore (Calistria) to represent knowledge of your faith, but not wider religious issues as a whole.
Another example would be taking Lore (Elvish History) instead of Knowledge (History).
Anwywho, below is a link to the full skinny on all of the Background Skills stuff. Enjoy your extra Skill Points!
Anybody else thinking of going 'nobility' in this game?
Not here, Merchant.
