Of course. Submissions and edits can be done until I post to stop on Sunday sometime. You're free to change/add anything until then, though I would prefer to know any major changes, such as class, race, or Campaign Trait.


Here is Raniero as a completed alias. I've included details on his appearance and mannerisms, and I was hoping to have enough time to add a short story about a significant event in his life just to give you a taste of my writing style. Unfortunately, life happened so this will have to do for now.


Will be submitting a Half-Elf Rogue. I'm new to PbP, but, hey, can't hurt to try, and I got seriously inspired for a backstory for her.


TheSilverDreamer, just curious, but will that be the Unchained version of Rogue?

Lubella's Personal Code of Conduct:

Lubella aspires to live by the Paladin Code of Sarenrae, although she sometime fall short:

· I will protect my allies with my life. They are my light and my strength, as I am their light and their strength. We rise together.

· I will seek out and destroy the spawn of the Rough Beast. If I cannot defeat them, I will give my life trying. If my life would be wasted in the attempt, I will find allies. If any fall because of my inaction, their deaths lie upon my soul, and I will atone for each.

· I am fair to others. I expect nothing for myself but that which I need to survive.

· The best battle is a battle I win. If I die, I can no longer fight. I will fight fairly when the fight is fair, and I will strike quickly and without mercy when it is not.

· I will redeem the ignorant with my words and my actions. If they will not turn toward the light, I will redeem them by the sword.

· I will not abide evil, and will combat it with steel when words are not enough. I do not flinch from my faith, and do not fear embarrassment. My soul cannot be bought for all the stars in the sky.

· I will show the less fortunate the light of the Dawnflower. I will live my life as her mortal blade, shining with the light of truth.

· Each day is another step toward perfection. I will not turn back into the dark.


@Zelladania: I mean, yeah, even if Drake's rules didn't say classes had to use their Unchained version, I don't have much of an eye for mechanics but I don't understand why you'd ever use Chained Rogue unless the GM said you had to, it's so much weaker.


Yep, totally no reason to ever not use the Unchained version, but I've seen weirder choices on these boards, so I thought I'd ask since you didn't specify. :)


I've seen regular rogues used for some archetypes, but that's about it since unchained was released. (barring gm banning them of course)


Submitting as a completed alias. Ven Nicolae, native of Magnimar, bastard child of a far-off cousin of House Valdemar. Her working title before I figured out a name: The Historian. Half-elf URogue.


Got it.


Submitting as a completed alias: Valeria Tanessen, CG human female bard 1 (Chelish Diva)


@PCScipio: I couldn't help but notice the similarities between our PCs. I hate to think of Iaqo being in competition with another Sarenite for a spot in the game, but I liked your 'code of conduct' idea so much, I figured I'd keep the similarities going...

Iaqo isn't much of a 'code of conduct' kind of guy, so here is:

Iaqo's Infamous Catchphrase:

Spoiler:
"Now we dance, you and I. But first you must choose. Do we dance arm in arm as friends? Or blade to blade as foes?"


Paizo's back. In honor of Paizo of keeping me off for over 15hrs, I'll leave the window open until later tonight. Good luck.


Wont be able to finish a background in time. Was also off paizo for whole day. Its almost midnight.

Have a fun game folks!

Grand Lodge

Crazy that it was down so long


Well thank to the downtime I obsessively made last minutes changes to the backstory.


It was so annoying. I hate having a whole day off and not being able to post to my games :(

Silver Crusade

@Iaqo Krum: The more Sarenites, the merrier!


It was horrible. I just started CotCT elsewhere when it began.

Anyway, Recruitment Closed.


Will decide on Tues around 8am GMT-5.

Liberty's Edge

Damn. I missed this.


Good luck everyone!


Counting down once I do some time zone conversions...

Scarab Sages

Good luck to all.

If nothing else, I am hoping to learn more about what qualities make for a better character for a PbP game.


Good luck, everyone!

Silver Crusade

Lubella wishes everyone good luck!

Appearance:

Average Height and build for a Half-Orc, he has the stereo typical green hue of an Orc but without the pronounced Canines.

Personality:

Careful and reserved with most people.

Character Backstory:

Born to a human Mother and an Orc father, Favor spent his early childhood with his mother. He lived with her until her death from disease, when he was 5. At which point he was adopted by the temple. After graduating and going out into the world to seek his fortune, he decides to visit his cousin John.


Well, this was a pretty nice turnout for only a week long recruitment of a first-time PbP GM. Several good choices, though I managed to cut decision time down by finding time to work through submissions as they came. It wasn't easy to decide, but decide I have, even if I chose one more than I originally planned.

And now, a drumroll please. Pretty please? Oh, alright; here's the chosen.

Joy's Zelladania, Human Cleric of Desna
Tundran's Osru Lassem, Tiefling Sniper Slayer
Ironclad Nomad's Raniero Cavalcante, Half-Elf Wild Stalker Ranger
Cuchulainn's Blikx, Human Djinni Sorcerer
TheSilverDreamer's Ven Nicolae, Half-Elf Rogue

The five chosen can make their way to the Discussion tab, and all others are free to lurk if they so desire.


Enjoy


Please do keep me in mind if you should need a replacement down the road... Would love to get a crack at RotR someday.


Congrats!


Congrats to all!
