So, as promised, here is a link to Sybil Vekker's alias.
It is basically the same as what I posted earlier but with more details on feat and traits selection (mostly crunch).
n_n All of you afraid that speaking your mind to me will lower your chances don't need to worry. Personally, I like this somewhat. It gives me a better understanding of how to recruit next time, and for that I am really appreciative.
@Cuan: Theologian is acceptable.
@hustonj: It isn't a prereq for admission. It accounts for maybe +/-5% of my decision. It's more of I enjoy reading the posts, getting feedback, giving info, that sort of thing. You could just post your character, then back off and say nothing past that and still have a good chance. And the policing of characters falls under my purview, and I do try hard to deal with it. If it's something minor, I tend not to mention it really. Major ones I get a good idea where the problem arose, and adjust for it mentally. Truly off characters (like CE Paladins with a bonus money trait and no weapons. laugh, I've seen it before) I will contact and ask them to adjust. I appreciate your concern, and it will not affect your standing. Now if you had been crude and rude, outright beligerent, then you would be reprimanded/denied access into the game. You haven't been.
@Gnick: Exactly!
@Lativa: Thank you for your support, I appreciate it.
@Amber: I do look through peoples aliases, it helps. Gets me curious sometimes, like when I see someone post a sorcerer or something and every other alias has been a melee fighter for instance.
I updated Iza to the Theologian version.
Are these yours? They're nice.Lou still likes Amieko.
Here are some sketches he made while working at the Rusty Dragon
a quick sketch during some down time during the Shadowtail festival
a nicer one when I finally got her to pose
some kids from around Sandpoint
a quick sketch on Lou's sister Noro in her youth - don't tell her I have this
sadly no, I have nearly no true artistic ability. I scoured the web for these. I try not to use professional art work. only stuff people post for public use.
But Lou does have a rank in the skill. as that is his hobby in the small town of Sandpoint. besides being a bartender and cook for the Rusty Dragon.

Funny, I got curious about Lou and looked up his alias (just for the picture) and I think it's hilarious (in that he looks so young)! Is he suppose to be in his late teens? Because if so... it will be hard to pursue Ameiko.
Anyway, makes me think of my research for a female dwarf (for my own character). I did not look long before getting bored of beardy women...
I was having trouble finding the right picture for Lou actually.
that one was one from a long time ago. I will probably look for another.

Why not use the one that shows on the forums?
its OK...
here is another one I found, he looks a little older
very difficult to find a drunken master pic that isn't an old man or Jackie Chan
Nice one.
thanks that is what I did and found that pic.
working on more sketches for Lou's sketch book. If chosen I want to have some ready to go selections just in case.

Hopefully no one has taken offense to me pointing things out on some of the characters.
I work at a comic shop and Pathfinder is our go to RPG. In order to get people interested I GM for the newer players. This tends to lead to a bunch of mentoring and rules explanations. I've seen so many character sheets that you kind of get a feel if something is out of place. On top of that I love making characters and there is definitely some cool ones in this thread, I may have to steal them for some of my NPC's.
Nope, appreciate it (although comments on the actual character would be cool too).
If you notice anything amiss in my statblock, I've got no problems with it being pointed out.
Borrow v. steal? Do we have kender in the group?
Character submissions are closed!
Will post results in a bit. Still trying to figure out who to choose for Sandru...
Alright, after literally an hour of beating my head in, I have decided on the characters for Sandru and Koya. Remember folks, you still have a chance for the noon character selection!
Drumroll please!
What? I can't make Paizo's forums do a drumroll? Fine, here's a youtube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzAfTmC3It0
Alright, first up, Koya!
Liera! Congratulations on your pick. It was difficult, but you won out! And by difficult, I mean I spent about 35 minutes debating who to choose.
And now for Sandru (poor guy...)
Easily the most difficult to pick for. Poor Sandru had little love, and now a veritable gaggle of drinking buddies. But the one who won out was Kaaji Ebonbeak! Congratulations, bird-man!
Now I have to pick the noon choice...
*Bangs head on keys* Why?! Why?! Why can't they all be in the game together?!
In all seriousness, these have been some of the best characters I've seen done up in a long, long time. And the feedback has been great too! If you do not get picked at noon, please know that it is nothing personal, and I hope you get into many great games!

Thank you for the selection GM! Kaaji shall bring honor to your game. Nightdeath thank you as well, was afraid my racial choice would hinder my chances! This is only my third PbP to get into, the first died because the GM abandoned us and the second has been my favorite yet. Congratulations are in order to my fellow selectee Liera as well.
As for borrowing character ideas, it's all good if somebody asks me. I try to put a lot into my character's stories so it means a lot when I'm told by a GM they enjoy it or think it's a good piece of original work. My S&S barbarian and a drow I made have been my favorites to write, with this guy being a close second.
Here we are, one character spot left and judging by the current selection he/she'll probably be a rogue or someone who can deal with traps. Honestly after the Shalelu character spot was taken, I had a sinking feeling I wouldn't be making it.
Congratulations El Ronza! I was hoping we'd both get picked and find ourselves in another game together but I doubt that will happen now.
Congratulations Kaaji!
I'll stick around just in case I end up being picked.
Posting under myself, since Daniel is at 9 already, but i agree what Kaaji said on using another's character.
Taking a character you like from anothers work is...cheap....if not asking if they're ok with it. They put time in designing a character.

I agree completely.
well I have at least 1 sketch for Lou's sketchbook of each chosen player so far.
of course unless picked none shall be shown. after all one cannot view the art of an artist that does not exist.

I was more referring to build/class/race combinations.

awwww, disappointing....that means one way or another I never get to see them (I was particularly curious about the Tengu sketch).

What do people think of the Antagonize feat? I refer mostly to the Diplomacy portion.
Diplomacy: You fluster your enemy. For the next minute, the target takes a –2 penalty on all attacks rolls made against creatures other than you and has a 10% spell failure chance on all spells that do not target you or that have you within their area of effect.
Intimidate: The creature flies into a rage. On its next turn, the target must attempt to make a melee attack against you, make a ranged attack against you, target you with a spell, or include you in the area of a spell. The effect ends if the creature is prevented from attacking you or attempting to do so would harm it (for example, if you are on the other side of a chasm or a wall of fire). If it cannot attack you on its turn, you may make the check again as an immediate action to extend the effect for 1 round (but cannot extend it thereafter). The effect ends as soon as the creature attacks you. Once you have targeted a creature with this ability, you cannot target it again for 1 day.
I can see two uses, one by melee types and one by unreachable opponents (wizard flying or such). However, when you get to fly you have better things to chuck at people than antagonize. As for the warrior, if your allies are realy getting destroyed by an enemy, it might be better to kill the creature really quickly.
I took the feat with a druid/witch (arcane hierophant 3.5) and never used it... unfortunately.
Edit: don't get me wrong, I think the flavor is pretty cool. But might not be that good.

WHAT?! Kaaji has drawing? This makes Kaaji very interested...
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone personally for their submissions. Like I said last night, the characters submitted have been some of the best I seen. I hope everyone not chosen the best.
And this is a little early for the noon pick, but I've been called into work early, so I need to place my choice.
The last character joining this epic caravan adventure will be Lou Kasuri! Congratulations! Now take your spot among your fellow adventurers!
To those not in the campaign, thank you for your character submissions and your thoughts and ideas.
Can't say I am surprised I was not picked; Avan just doesnt seem to be popular among gms maybe I should change his name to Avan the Unwanted.
Enjoy yourself Lou, I am going back to searching for more games...joy....
Good job, enjoy the game
Glad to hear that, thanks M.O.!
Thank you Meninite that is very kind of you.
I concur.
Cool. Will be there soon!
Congratulations all, may it all run well for you.
