Please go ahead and confirm your continued interest in this campaign in the Discussion thread. After everyone has checked in and put any last finishing touches on their character sheets, I will begin the Gameplay thread.
If anyone fails to check in by Thursday, I will choose a replacement player on Friday.
Thank you all for your submissions.

As one of the players in the game, I'd love to see a Skinwalker added to the group! (Just a note, we're in the first scene, so adding someone won't be too hard or painful.) And there's no shortage of wolves, rats, and bats in Ustalav.
One thing about living in Ustalav I never could stomach; all the damn vampires.

They have an easy way of stomaching you, however.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
On a related note, I think we have all the roles we may need in the party at the moment, so recruitment should be easier.

Agreed. As our GM noted we could use a melee-based character (though something not melee may be considered given we have a relatively balanced 4 member party). Trapfinding would be nice. (Isn't it always?) But fitting the theme of a horror game and the setting of Ustalav is extremely important.
Also, the sooner applications get made and posted, the sooner you can start playing! (No pressure. As I said before, we're *very* early in the game. Still in the first scene, to be specific. It'd be very easy to add in another character right away.)
And if you have any questions, our GM is *really* fast in response, so feel free to ask away!

Ok as if right now I would love to go Werebatkin barbarian natural attacker. I can submit a backround right now but the crunch will come later. Most likely tomorrow morning.
So I am very interested in this. My current idea for a character would be a Warebat-kin (bloodmarked) named Cruentus Angealous. His story is a complicated one.
When he was young he was born on a vast estate of a Lord Ackles. Born into the slave class of cheliax (although I can alter this to anywhere that would be convenient). His family was under this mans vampiric spell. His family being the subjects of sadistic experiments of the fiend. They were exposed to lycanthropy to become more akin to the creatures his lord preferred.
When the towns folk finally became aware of the immortal nature of his lord they came knocking at his door step with flames and pitchforks. Mistaking the mutated and twisted servants as spawn of Ackles, they proceeded to slay them viciously before the boys eyes, though they never did find his Master.
Happening upon the boy one of the locals named Gravous Lector took the unremarkable child in, thinking it a miracle that this innocent has been spared the ravages of this cursed place.
Then puberty hit... and the boy was at school when another boy had heard of Cruentus's beginnings and began bullying the thin, pale, large eared, bug eyed boy, and had went too far. He and his friends beat Cruentus within an inch of his life and then all of a sudden his latent genes kicked in.
Growing a maw of razor sharp teeth, his jaw elongating, his nose flattening, appendages becoming longer and more lithe, and his eyes turned milk white. Cruentus lashed out at the boy grabbing him like he had seen his old master do to so many, wrenching his head to the side and sinking his awful teeth into the vein of that ignorant boy.
Cruentus had his first taste of blood that day. A taste that would haunt him, not just because he had killed a human being, but because he had enjoyed it. After he had realized the horror of what he had done Cruentus ran. He ran into the woods to a place he often went when he felt out of sorts.
Scared, tired, and alone Cruentus didn't know what to do and finally decided to go home. When he returned though he was not greeted by the loving arms of his adopted father, but rather the burning flames of what used to be his home, accompanied by the screams of his adopted family.
Fortunately for the townsfolk Gravous was a kind a loving father and had instilled in the boy a solid moral base. Though embittered, Cruentus was intelligent and understood why the townsfolk reacted the way they did. He blamed only two people for his family's death, himself and Ackles. With his guilt, new found blood thirst, and need for revenge, he made a vow. He would seek out his old Master and make him pay for this curse and his family's death.
Sorry for the wall of text but I wanted to get a good back story in along with some characters you could possibly use. That all being said I mostly just want to play this race. I am willing to work around the party as to what class.

Yeah this was an older concept that didn't get picked, but seemed to fit your theme quite well. But yeah my bad on the bloodrager thing. Forgot the core only rule. Barbarian works out better as is anyway. However if you are ok with letting me use bestial aspect feat to have claws in bat shape form I could go trapper ranger. This would provide the tapfinding the party needs, along with disable device, while still allowing me to persue the natural attacking character I wanted.
