I see a lot of people seem to be familiar with one another here. =)
Updated background with more flavor (mostly from before his 'change', including possible hooks/enemies). Not sure if I'm done yet or not with tweaking.
I like the basic idea, at least. I'll be curious to know how Rick ended up in Kintargo. I'm also interested to see what Rick's campaign trait is. And don't worry about elaborating on his parents. If selected, that would be something to incorporate into the story.
I just noticed I forgot to put the background I wrote yesterday into Rick's alias, and left his background from a previous iteration (in 10-minute-background format). My fault, that's what you get when you try to make things right while being sleepy. I also forgot to add in his Campaign Trait (Historian of the Rebellion, what else, being a fan boy).
I'll pull all these things together during the weekend and let you know when it's all done.
This is a character I made up for this AP which I like a lot but other GM's have been reluctant due to her race. You seem more open to that so I thought I would apply here. She will need some updating to meet your character creation rules but I wanted to run the concept by you first.
Shala is a governess in a wealthy home in Kintargo. When her friend the head butler goes missing and rumors surface of his involvement with the Silver Ravens, she begins learning more about the political situation and eventually joins the revolution.
She had taken care of the young in her tribe where she defended them with her claws and overwhelming pack attacks. Mechanically this is reflected in the teamwork feats she can share from the majordomo archetype (which could also help with rebellion management if you are willing) and she will also take levels in warpriest which will improve her attack capabilities.
Is this concept worth updating and applying here? Thanks for your consideration. :D

Proficiencies: Investigators are proficient with simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, short sword, and sword cane. They are proficient in light armors, but not shields.
Improved Initiative: Your quick reflexes allow you to react rapidly to danger. You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks.
Escape Route: Bonus Teamwork You have trained to watch your allies’ backs, covering them as they make tactical withdraws. An ally who also has this feat provokes no attacks of opportunity for moving through squares adjacent to you or within your space.
Historian of the Rebellion: You’ve long been interested in the legacy of the Silver Ravens—a group of freedom fighters that rose to prominence in Kintargo during the Chelish Civil War. There’s frustratingly little information today about the group, and you suspect that most of what was recorded about the Silver Ravens has long since been redacted or destroyed by government agents, but you’ve managed to pick up a tidbit here and there. Most of your knowledge isn’t so much about the Silver Ravens specifically, but more about general histories of rebel groups and freedom fighters who have fought against oppressive governments throughout history, both in Cheliax and beyond. Your familiarity with rebel groups allows you to grant a +2 bonus on an Organization check of your choice once the party reestablishes the Silver Ravens during the first adventure. You can change which check you assign this bonus to once at the start of the rebellion’s Upkeep phase. Your time preparing for joining the Silver Ravens has also honed your skill at remaining unseen. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Stealth checks, and Stealth is always a class skill for you.
Inspiring Rush: Your charge inspires nearby companions to new heights of daring. Once per day when you make a charge attack, you gain a +1 trait bonus on both your attack and damage rolls, as do any allies who make a charge attack before the beginning of your next turn.
Meeting a Contact: The Silver Ravens have long fascinated you. You might just agree with their politics for a free Kintargo, or perhaps you admire their spirit. Maybe you just like the idea of a secret society. You might know someone who was supposedly in the Silver
Ravens; that someone might even be a parent, sibling, or lover. When House Thrune established martial law a week ago, though, the Silver Ravens went dark. Rumors that their leaders have all been captured or killed circulate, and no sign of the rank-and-file members can be found. Certainly, your friend or family member has gone missing. You’re starting to worry, and hope to find out what happened to the group. After doing a bit of research, you were contacted by a friend of a friend of a friend who claimed to know something about the Silver Ravens. You don’t know who this contact is or even his name, but you do know that he’s a human man, and that he’s arranged to meet with you at the Aria Park protest. You’ll know him because he’ll be wearing one black leather glove on his right hand and no glove at all on the left. You gain a +2 bonus on all Perception and Sense Motive checks made during the protest itself.

Common, Catfolk, Infernal
Cat's Luck: Once per day when a catfolk makes a Reflex saving throw, he can roll the saving throw twice and take the better result. He must decide to use this ability before the saving throw is attempted.
Cat's Claws: Some catfolk have stronger and more developed claws than other members of their race, and can use them to make attacks. Catfolk with this racial trait have a pair of claws they can use as natural weapons. These claws are primary attacks that deal 1d4 points of damage. This racial trait replaces natural hunter.
Sprinter: Catfolk gain a 10-foot racial bonus to their speed when using the charge, run, or withdraw actions.
Scent: Some catfolk favor a keen sense of smell over sensitive sight. Catfolk with this racial trait gain the scent ability. This racial trait replaces the low-light vision racial trait.
Inspiration: An investigator is beyond knowledgeable and skilled—he also possesses keen powers of observation and deduction that far surpass the abilities of others. An investigator typically uses these powers to aid in their investigations, but can also use these flashes of inspiration in other situations. An investigator has the ability to augment skill checks and ability checks through his brilliant inspiration. The investigator has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his investigator level + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). An investigator's inspiration pool refreshes each day, typically after he gets a restful night's sleep. As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20. This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. An investigator can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he's trained in the skill. Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator's pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
Paper Trail: A majordomo is trained to uncover forgeries and trace down discrepancies in paperwork in order to ferret out intrigue. She adds half her investigator level (minimum 1) to Linguistics and Profession checks to spot a forgery, deal with paperwork, and notice discrepancies in paperwork. A majordomo who analyzes the handwriting of a document and succeeds at a Linguistics check against a DC equal to 20 + the writer's Bluff bonus gets a hunch about whether the document's writer was lying or otherwise nervous. This ability doesn't work if the document was dictated to someone who thought the contents were legitimate. This ability replaces trapfinding.
Delegate: In order to perform all the necessary tasks of her household, a majordomo quickly learns how to delegate. At 1st level and every 3 investigator levels thereafter, a majordomo gains a bonus teamwork feat. As a standard action, she can grant all allies within 30 feet who can see or hear her one of these teamwork feats (even if they don't meet the prerequisites) for a number of rounds equal to 3 + her investigator level. She can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus an additional time at 4th level and every 3 levels thereafter. This ability replaces the alchemy and swift alchemy abilities. Additionally, a majordomo can't take the alchemist discovery investigator talent or any discovery that affects or involves alchemy.

monk's kit includes a backpack, a belt pouch, a blanket, rope, soap, torches (10), trail rations (5 days), and a waterskin
trailscent kit This small box of specially prepared catfolk pheromones and alchemical reagents can be used to leave a small group of subtle but long-lasting scents that only catfolk can smell and decipher. Given a minute, a catfolk can create a scent mixture and apply it to a solid object, such as a tree, a wall, or even a smaller item such as a weapon or potion vial. When the catfolk does this, it leaves one of the following scent impressions: danger, food, shelter, or possession. The possession impression is always keyed to the specific catfolk using the kit, and signifies that she owns the territory or item. Other races can attempt to use this kit to create the danger, food, or shelter impression, but doing so requires a successful DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check. A catfolk can detect a particular scent applied with a trailscent kit from 30 feet away. If the scent is upwind, the range at which a catfolk can detect the scent increases to 60 feet; if it is downwind, the range drops to 15 feet. A catfolk with the scent racial quality doubles those distances. A scent impression lasts for 1 year or until it is washed away. Each kit has 10 uses.

Description
Shala is sinewy and graceful, lovely without being pretty. She has traditional feline features and a quietly confident manner. She dresses simply and modestly. She is a natural nuturer, caring for children especially.
History
Shala was born into a nomadic tribe of catfolk. As she grew up in the wild, she naturally learned some fighting techniques to protect herself. But she spent most of her time watching over the kittens of the tribe, both her assigned task and her passion. She learned to lead her charges on the offensive and strike quickly with her claws.
Like many of the young people in her dwindling tribe lately, Shala eventually migrated to a city to find work. Not knowing one city from another, she chose Kintargo because she heard it had a vibrant arts scene. From her isolated upbringing, that was enough to set the city apart.
When she arrived in Kintargo, she was able to quickly find work as a tutor with her charm and skill with little ones. Even though she wasn't particularly intelligent, she studied hard to keep ahead of the children. While working for a prominent family, she befriended the head butler. Eventually, she began to learn some elements of household management and found she had a knack for that as well.
When martial law was instituted her butler friend went missing. There were whispers that he was involved with the Silver Ravens. She began to study rebellion and became more and more convinced that revolt was the only solution in Kintargo. She didn't speak much about it because it was clear that such talk was forbidden in the homes of the wealthy. But she attended rallies and read literature as much as she could.
Shala had never been very religious but her natural chaotic good tendencies emerged and she quickly gravitated towards the worship of Milani. Shala has also found her other natural feline urges kicking in: just before the big protest today she sharpened her claws, ready for them to be once again coated in blood.

I never gave a proper physical description, did I? Meliora is a very tall 5'1" with hair that she's bleached white in order to try and hide her family resemblance. She's all but destroyed the poise a noble is supposed to have, usually keeping her shoulders hunched forward and slouching. Her one point of pride is the length of her hair, she likes doing it in a pair of ponytails and it falls to about her waist. When she thinks no one's looking, she tends to be scowly, but in front of people she usually has a cocksure smirk on her face. She never actually uses her last name, she's just 'Meliora' to her academy.
Also, she used to have a gambling habit--losing a couple gold here or there at various games of chance. That stopped when she became a divination specialist, not because she suddenly could cheat, but because when she used her foresight to try and see what the result would be she realized that she just had terrible luck at any game involving dice or cards.
...that should be 5'11"
Dropped an input and missed it for an hour and a half.
He is just a travelling bounty hunter, he is native to Cheliax. He really just happened upon the protest, just arriving in Kintargo and finding a lot of the town empty he made his way there. He is currently on a bounty for a missing halfling slave who made off with some of the owners jewerly.
Good to note. Thank you.
Updated background with more flavor (mostly from before his 'change', including possible hooks/enemies). Not sure if I'm done yet or not with tweaking.
I like the new hooks. You've still got time, so you can make alterations if you feel they're necessary.

My fault, that's what you get when you try to make things right while being sleepy. I also forgot to add in his Campaign Trait (Historian of the Rebellion, what else, being a fan boy).

Sounds good. I liked the dialogue sample, so I look forward to the background narrative as well.

** spoiler omitted **...
I'm open to the possibility. My main concern with races that are non-native to Kintargo is, "What is their motivation for staying in Kintargo to rebel?" Or, put another way, "Why wouldn't the character just go to another city or return to her people?" Are there any people in particular keeping Shala in Kintargo? Also, I think your archetype is quite unique, but having read the AP, I'm not sure some of its aspects would see much use.

I like the description. How old is Meliora, by the way?
An excellent question. Let us consult the bones!
She is 23, apparently.
In that case, Lia might have been attending Lady Docur's School at the same time as her...
Orson's player here, I'll be honest I plum forgot about the reason to protest. Orson is Tagging Along, where the person he's tagging along with is every person at the protest.
Also, Zek, I was wondering how you deal with Leadership. I normally don't ask if the GM doesn't include it in the OP because I assume that means they don't want to deal with it, but as my trait gives me a bonus to it I figured I'd ask.

Alright, then. I guess that's one way to decide. Haha.

No worries about the reason, just wanted to be sure what it was. Also, you list knowledge (local) and knowledge (planes) as two of your skills, but I don't see what you have that makes them class skills or gives you the extra skill points.
As for the leadership feat, I actually said no to it under character creation in my initial post. It seems like a feat everyone would take at level 7. It's just too good, in my opinion. On the GM'ing side of things, it looks like it would be a pain to track everything involved with it, not to mention keeping track of the cohort in combat.
That being said, you do have a point about it being one of the benefits of the Natural Born Leader trait, so I will adjust the trait slightly. Instead of giving a benefit to your leadership score, it will let you treat your Charisma score as if it were 14 (as written in the ability) or 4 points higher than its actual score if your actual Charisma is already 14 or higher (for the benefits as listed in the trait). You probably wouldn't get the extra benefit for a while, but you also wouldn't have gotten the leadership score bonus for a while, either. Hope that helps. You can still change that trait, if you'd prefer.
@GM Zek
You may want to adjust that trait modification a bit more. Just make it 14 or 4 points higher whichever is greater. That way if your charisma is 12, it's effectively 16 and not 14.
Yes, that works. I'm just slightly concerned about the players who might try and game it by reducing their actual Charisma to 7, but getting the benefit as if they had a 14 Charisma. Those are edge cases, though, so I'll say yes to your suggestion.

There are at least a couple of you who mentioned that you still need to update your character’s backstory. As long as you do so before the deadline, I’ll be able to consider your character for selection. There’s still plenty of time for submissions for anyone who’s been lurking. I can already tell that I’m going to have a hard time making selections once that time comes.
Here's Rick story and crunch, finally (had a hard time with the forums wonkyness). If you feel there's anything missing, I still have time to adjust, but I think this is it.
In that case, Lia might have been attending Lady Docur's School at the same time as her...
It's definitely possible. Lia may well have heard rumors of someone flipping out, beating up another girl, shoving her facefirst into a shrub, and then getting expelled.

I like the updates. Thank you for putting your background in narrative form. It looks like you're focusing heavily on Charisma. Unless I'm mistaken, the casting stat for a magus in intelligence, so you might want to consider adjusting that.

My archetype, Armiger, gives me two bonus skill ranks which must be invested in Knowledge (planes) and Intimidate, and gives Knowledge (planes) and Knowledge (local) as class skills.

I've searched the PRD, d20pfsrd, and archives of nethys, but can't find anything on an armiger archetype for fighters. If you could link me to the source, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

Ah, that makes sense, thank you. Interesting archetype.
It's not really the best archetype there is, since it uses like double the arcane pool points a normal Magus would and spontaneous casting has some trouble with metamagic, but I thought the bloodline would go well with all the dragon shenanigans and at the same time I could save some points by going all-in on Cha. Also, being spontaneous went better with Rick's story than having learned from a book and all that.
The alias includes links to every rule that could be linked, for your easiness in consulting anything, and breaking down anything I thought would be needed. If you need any more breaking down, just say. I'm a fan of breaking down bonuses and easy access sheets.

I'll admit, I was scratching my head a bit at your backstory in relation to the way a magus normally works. But with your archetype, it makes perfect sense. Definitely appreciate the links.
I just want to apologize for my inactivity, as it appears that the site itself is completely unreachable only during the entire 8-12 hour chunk of time that I was available to post, while they deal with whatever issues they are having. I've been looking forward to the time I should have had to update my profile and write a solid bit of serious backstory for the character, I just haven't been able to do so due to the site.
I will have more to Canacha's back story up soon enough, I just wanted to clearly state that I intend to pick up Alchemist as a 2nd class. it fits with how i plan on playing Canacha.
The original idea with her was a female version of Karl from Van Helsing minus the religous slant, mixed with some tank girl, and a scosh of River Tam(from firefly) for taste.
Very Mad scientisty kind of spacey with her wisdom scores.
I added a small vignette with some conversation to Rutilus's profile. If there's any thoughts, questions, or concerns let me know and I'd be happy to discuss it.

Thank you for the dialogue sample and backstory. I appreciate the details you gave. As for background skills, Lore(criminal law) is fine by me. As for your other background point, I tend to think it's hard to go wrong with linguistics. Knowledge(nobility) would also be useful for this campaign. I'm okay with you taking two non-campaign traits, if you really think none of the campaign ones would make sense for your backstory. Also, what is your specific reason for being at the protest? Lastly, is this your first experience with play-by-post?

No worries. It's been unavailable for most people, I think. There was a time when I was considering having recruitment open for only a week, but in light of the problems with the site, I'm glad I decided against that. Hopefully Paizo will have worked out most of the kinks once it comes time to start the campaign. For what it's worth, it seems like most people are able to access the site using cellular data on their phones, so that might be an option in a worse case scenario.

Think I'll try to write something up for this; I do enjoy seeing tyrants overthrown...
Look forward to seeing it!
I added a small vignette with some conversation to Rutilus's profile. If there's any thoughts, questions, or concerns let me know and I'd be happy to discuss it.
I'll take a look later. In the meantime, thank you for the update.
The site being down has been a trip, hasn't it?
Indeed.
At any rate, I might consider taking the Noble Scion prestige class for Lia at some point...
Doesn't it come with Greater Leadership, though? That's even stronger than the original feat.
Hmm. I might stick with multiclassing into Bard, then.
Luckily, my plan is simple. Wizard 20, because Loremaster (while interesting) doesn't allow you to add any spells to your spellbook for free on level up.
Also because of Foresight bonuses. Meliora, if she gets in, is usually going to go first and nearly always going to drop a buff.
I would like to submit Velia, a half-elf Psychic with the abomination psychic discipline stemming from her biological father a Drow noble.

I like the dialogue sample. Are Sera, Cassie, and Tesario still supposed to be in Kintargo?
Hmm. I might stick with multiclassing into Bard, then.
The leadership feat is indeed banned, so that's something to keep in mind if you're trying to plan ahead.
I would like to submit Velia, a half-elf Psychic with the abomination psychic discipline stemming from her biological father a Drow noble.
Very unique character concept. Is Velia's mother still around? Also, is her father still alive? I assume Velia's mother and father didn't have a consensual relationship? Also, I noticed Velia is 65, which seems pretty old for a half-elf. Is there something about her drow heritage that's causing her to age slower?
Caldax here plans to stick with Rogue until level 10 before switching it up and going to Shadowdancer.

Hi, Caldax. I think you meant to post that in the Way of the Wicked recruitment thread. An evil character won't be thematically appropriate for this campaign.
Thanks for the concessions. Yeah, looking back I suppose I could have been clearer in explaining why she's at the protest. In reading the player's guide the option 'Staying up on Current Events' would be a good fit. She's opposed to Barzillai but not to the point of open rebellion; she needs one final push for that. All she knows is that the current situation cannot stand, and being conflicted does not mesh well with her hell knight mindset. She's at the protest looking for that one push.
Alternatively, if you think she could reasonably have heard about this Silver Raven contact I could go for 'Meeting a Contact'. As a hell knight, again, she considers herself a guardian of the city and its people. If the Ravens are plotting open rebellion, she wants to know about it.
Whatever you think works best, really.And no, I've tried play-by-post before.
I'd rather you decide on the reason yourself. If selected, I'll certainly incorporate your backstory into the plot, but would prefer you establish your own reason for protesting. If you want my opinion, I think either of the ones you mentioned would be fine.
I thought you might have done some play-by-post before. In that case, welcome to Paizo's forums.
Cassie and Tesario are both still in Kintargo. These two would be what Rutilus considers his family and would be the reason he would join the rebellion, to make things better for them. In my mind, Cassie is attracted to Rutilus while Tesario is attracted to Cassie. Rutilus, however, is oblivious to it and just sees Cassie as his little sister and Tesario as his brother he shares a sibling rivalry with.
Sera, on the other hand, could still be in Kintargo or not at this point. I really just needed another character to distract Cassie at the beginning of the vignette so I brought in an extra. If selected, feel free to do what you wish with these characters.
That works. For those selected, I'll be glad to have multiple options when it comes time to incorporate backstories into the adventure.
Sorry it's taking me a bit, the site being down has played havoc on editing the character sheet >_<
Sorry to bug ya, but when is the cutoff date?

The site being down has been quite inconvenient.
Recruitment is open until 6/22/17 at 1 pm eastern. Feel free to make changes to your character as much as you feel is necessary between now and then. I'll be reviewing everyone's submissions again after the deadline, so the final form of your submission is what matters.

I have added to Dono's background and given him a brother that has been taken by the Hellknights while trying to help escaping slaves. Seems good to have extra motivation to work for the downfall of the current government.
Also I wanted to remind you that I will be away from the internet starting this Saturday and will be unable to check boards or post until June 23 or 24. But I am excited about the chance to play and hope my absence for the last week of recruiting will not be seen as a lack of interest in this game.
Good luck all.
Sorry it's taking me a bit, the site being down has played havoc on editing the character sheet >_<
Sorry to bug ya, but when is the cutoff date?
The site being down has been quite inconvenient.

K, thankies.

Thank you for the update and the reminder. Your absence won't impact your chance of getting in. It's your application that matters.
I'll be adding more to Velia when I have free time. As far as she knows her father raped her mother and she has no illusions about Drow being anything but evil. As far as she knows her father is alive but just as likely not.
(her father was a paragon of his species; why she inherited so much of her fathers side, brought down her age a little but she traveled a lot before settling down.)
Caldax here plans to stick with Rogue until level 10 before switching it up and going to Shadowdancer.Hi, Caldax. I think you meant to post that in the Way of the Wicked recruitment thread. An evil character won't be thematically appropriate for this campaign.
You are correct. I'm the one submitting Leza here. Paizo's site was acting up so I was trying to keep track of the threads via phone and mixed up the two threads. Derp.

Alright, that works. Look forward to the additions.

No worries. Paizo's site has been quite unreliable as of late, but it seems to have stabilized in the last couple days. Hopefully it stays stable.
It probably should. The issues were over the weekend and then monday as they tried to fix the issues... after their IT guys had a chance to take a look at things they appear to have evened right out.
Here is Roldy Heson, a Tiefling Trap Breaker.
I had to adjust his character sheet since he was higher level. I think I got everything right, let me know if you find some mistake. I will have the background up shortly.
