I think I'm going to close it for now, unfortunately. Talked to the players and we agreed on our choice.
Sasha Shardlight please report to the discussion thread. Thank you all for the submissions, and keep an eye out here if we need to pick up another member!
Happy hunting
/Cheer! Thank you! Heading to the IC thread now!
Are we level one or level two? I see the post by Herkymr the Silly and am not sure if I understand why they are level two.
I'll get Sasha's gear purchased this evening so you can review everything all at once.
Oh I didn’t even notice that. Yeah they’re level 1, haven’t gotten far at all.
Herkymr, why are you level 2? And do you have a background?
Not gonna be able to get this the attention it needs. Sorry for delay I withdraw and best luck to all.
Alright, our arcane caster (the witch) had to step down so we've got a spot open for a new one! Same build rules as at the start, they haven't leveled up yet or anything. The party is currently investigating a goblin den, and you'll be one of the prisoners of the goblins, or actively fighting them. How the join-up scene happens will be discussed after I've made my selection.
Don't want to leave it open for too long, so I'll make my selection around Wednesday, or if the players decide they want to take a certain submission.
Ability Scores: 20 point buy, nothing below an 8 after racial adjustments.
Level: 1st
Alignment: any, but I don't want a CE party wrecker character. If you're evil at all, have a good explanation for it. Good alignments will most likely have a slight advantage unless you can really sell me on an evil angle.
Classes: any Paizo, minus Antipaladin.
Races: any and all Paizo (within reason, no drow noble) are accepted, as the church isn't picky.
Traits: two normally, can take a drawback for a third.
Wealth: maximum starting for your class, you have been well equipped for the journey.
Skills: we will be using the extra Background Skills rule.
Background Questions: I'd like you to take a look at these 20 questions and answer them. This is meant to help both you and me understand who your character is and why they have chosen to accept the call for aid from the Selûnites.
1. What is your character’s name?
2. How old is your character?
3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)?
4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)?
5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who?
6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living?
7. Do you have any other family or friends?
8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids?
9. What is your character’s alignment?
10. What is your character’s moral code?
11. Does your character have goals?
12. Is your character religious?
13. What are your character’s personal beliefs?
14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)?
15. Why does your character adventure? Why did your character accept the job?
16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)?
18. How does your character get along with others?
19. Is there anything that your character hates?
20. Is there anything that your character fears?
If I missed anything, feel free to ask!
I'm interested and may throw in my starsoul sorcerer elf. Will post the build before Wednesday (and obviously if I fail to submit on time that's on me).
Ill have to answer questions but Draxia is a great Orc Blooded Sorceress
@GM of the Moon: Does the Kingdom of Many Arrows exist still? Or ?
Doesn’t seem like it, as of 1485 the kingdom was dispersed.
It’s currently the 27th of Uktar in 1492 in game, so no it doesn’t exist anymore.
Question: is Rich Parents trait ok? (It's the one that adds 900 gp to your starting gold.) Playing a character from a noble family who would (could) have some decent stuff with her. (But I could also play that she lost some of what she was sent with if the trait isn't okay). Wasn't planning on buying anything terribly unusual or powerful, maybe a masterwork weapon that was a family gift. (And she's a sorcerer so a masterwork weapon is not going to be a mighty thing in her hands.)

I'm okay with it, and the players are too. Go for it!
Hey guys, sorry to spring this on you but I think I’m actually going to cancel this phase of recruitment for now. I’m pretty happy with the dynamics of the group as of now, and realized I just felt like an arcane caster was needed.
Maybe it will be later, but for now, just keep an eye out for the next time I post. So sorry for the inconvenience!
Dang, I was just about to post my build. Ah well, enjoy.
Hello! Reopening this recruitment for an arcane caster after our witch has stepped away.
Still level 1 for now (they’re about to hit 2 but they don’t know that yet), same build rules as the original recruitment.
Should have a connection to the Selunite church or a reason you’d do work for them. Any questions you have, feel free to ask!
In fact, I'll have them level to 2 now and have the new party member join at level 2 as well. No sense in waiting.
Will likely only have it up for a week or so, or until we get someone that fits. Not trying to stall the game for too long!
This is DeathQuaker, who had apped in the first time with Aela and then had offered up a starsoul sorcerer (this alias) during the last recruitment before said recruitment was cancelled.
I have to admit, the cancellation of the last recruitment felt a bit like getting a door slammed in my face, and I hesitated to apply again. But this is an excellent player group and I love the Forgotten Realms, so I would like to app in if I can be assured this is for really real this time.
Rylassa here is set up at level 1 for now. Before I update her, and assuming this recruitment is good, I'd like to know where the party would be meeting the character. The end of the current background written suggests the party rescues her from capture, but I could adjust to have her be anywhere you need her to be. She is from Evermeet and new to Faerun and traveling to learn of the world so she could end up everywhere. She doesn't have a deep tie to Selune but she worships Sehanine Moonbow and as a starsoul sorcerer has a deep tie to the night sky so we can play that up as needed. She could even already be adventuring on the church of Selune's behalf.
@Degnax: either will work, I won't discriminate against a partial caster.
@DeathQuaker: I do apologize for that, but this one is 'for really real' as it were. I will be selecting one of the applicants to add to the party.
As for where you'd be meeting the party, I had tentatively planned on having you meet right outside of the Glade. Sent by the Selunites or just journeying there on your own, we'll figure something out.
Thanks.
Since we're building to 2nd level, how should we handle gear? Starting gear only despite being second? WBL?
Starting gear, they haven't really done a whole lot of adventuring beyond the opening scenes as it were. Things will change once they reach the Glade.
Okay, here's Rylassa updated. As last time you'd said Rich Parents was fine as a trait, her gear is due to that trait (and she can share what she has with the party).
PS: I have played Rylassa before in 3.x, and under this alias I posted a character campaign journal many years ago, if you want to get a feel for her voice. I'm rebooting her from the start of her story, so the events of that campaign are not part of this version of the character.
1. What is your character’s name? Rylassa Kaelfara
2. How old is your character? A mere 121 years old. A baby.
3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)? Rylassa is a tall, graceful elf with golden skin, golden hair, and dark blue eyes. She wears a nicely embroidered blue dress under her travel cloak. She had a rapier sheathed at her waist that she barely uses, and a longbow strapped carefully to her pack. Heroforge Mini
4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)? She speaks softly, kindly, with a bit of an Elvish accent.
5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who? She was born and raised in the city of Ruith on Evermeet, raised by her family and under the mentorship of a mage named Turin.
6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living? Lord Niben Sulmegil of Evermeet is her father; he is alive but is responsible for effectively forcing Rylassa out of Evermeet. Her mother Tariel Kaelfara died giving birth to her.
7. Do you have any other family or friends? She is brand new to the mainland and has no family or friends she can easily reach. Back on Evermeet, she left behind her beloved half-sister Laurelin and her mentor Turin.
8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids? Her father would not deign to arrange a suitable marriage for her. No lovers, love interests, or children, and again, she’s very new to the area.
9. What is your character’s alignment? NG
10. What is your character’s moral code? Offer what you have when you can to those in need, help others when you have help to give, leave others alone if they request it. Speak up when someone is treating another unfairly or speaking unfairly to them.
11. Does your character have goals? She wants to start a new life away from her family and explore her magical capabilities—and the world. No one in her family that she knows of is a sorcerer, let alone a starsoul sorcerer, so she wants to better why her essence is both bound to the Weave and the stars in this way—was it the timing of her birth or is there a distant ancestor she needs to learn about.
12. Is your character religious? She worships Sehanine Moonbow. She is generally reverential toward the Seldarine, as well as relevant members of the Faerun pantheon.
13. What are your character’s personal beliefs? Being treated as an outcast and bastard simply for having blue eyes, she tries not to judge others by appearances, no matter how strange or ugly they may be to her. She believes all have the potential to be good—but that doesn’t stop people from making different choices, and she also believes people must learn to live with the consequences of those choices.
14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)? Rylassa just fell off the turnip truck (or ship to Waterdeep as it were) so is very naïve to the ways of the mainland. She is deeply curious about EVERYTHING.
15. Why does your character adventure? Why did your character accept the job? She has magical skills she’s just been gifted with, and there’s no point in wasting them, is there? With great power comes great responsibility and all that. She also doesn’t want to disappoint the Selunites since she agreed to help them, and feels she needs to make some friends in this big world.
16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer? She hopes she can help and doesn’t want to disappoint.
17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)? Her green-eyed father, weirdly suspicious of his wife cheating on him, would say her blue eyes are a birthmark and/or deformity.
18. How does your character get along with others? She is friendly and curious, so as long as they don’t mind some questions, just fine. Some might find her sheer “newness” to everything off-putting, but she can read a room and back off if needed.
19. Is there anything that your character hates? Bullies. Although overall Rylassa is not a hater.
20. Is there anything that your character fears? Failing to adapt to her new circumstances, perhaps. She tends to take things as they come, however.
It's raining sorcerers...
I wanted to finish this guy and turn him in by Friday morning for perusal but got caught up in some grocery runs and other fun things.
Rutilux is meant to grow into a simple blaster type but with a few options over time, but with some trait given social skills to help him act as a face now and then if needed.
Of course, his greatest contribution is eliminating your 'short folk' gap. As a Hin/Halfling, he'll help make sure your group isn't blind to bubblegum under tables, or unable to notice the kobold in the small tunnel at tallfolk knee level without risking falling over.
;)
A short intro and 20 questions in his profile. I can tweak him some if needed.
Thanks for your consideration
I'll be reapplying with Lythrana Bayle, half drow spell dancer magus. I'll update her to level 2 Tuesday, when I get back from a family road trip to Washington, D.C.

This is Kraldor Iveha, the Esoteric starseeker psychic that was orphaned and raised by the selunite church. My bio has all my stats, and I'm currently writing up a full back story but here is my background 20 questions
1. My name is Kaldor Iveha
2. I am aged 21
3. Overlength sleeved cloak, a hood, a mask with the symbol of seluna over the mouth and mismatched eyes; One a solid aqua color as an elf the other a human like eye that is godlen/brown. Without the clothes and mast one would immediately notice the eyes that are different shapes the solid aqua one being larger than hazel eye. You would also notice 2 different ear shapes, again one elvish and one human. Finally you would notice that one arm is longer than the other and that he walks with a slight limp. I stand about 5ft 8 and have blonde swirling amongst his otherwise short brown hair. I am built very lean, almost frail, though that is less noticeable under my armor and large cloak.
4. Upon speaking with me, you would notice that he is rather shy and soft spoken and not always good at saying the correct thing. However I am very intelligent and knowledgeable and if you can get me speaking about a topic I enjoy, I am likely to open up to you more. If I catch someone staring I am likely to try and turn away or cover myself more with my cloak
5. Born in Silvermoon Glade, raised there by my parents for 6 years before being raised by the Selunite church
6. My parents are Caladrel Iveha(dad) and Clemity Iveha(mom). They are both deceased. They used to be Farmers before a beast attacked the fields one night,
7. My family became the selunite church, no real friends due to ostracization as child then shyness and insecurity as a teenager/adult.
8. I am single and childless
9. I am of the Chaotic Good alignment
10. My moral code is to be a good person where I can, unless my self preservation is going to be sacrificed. Violence and killing are self defense tactics, unless violence is the absolute only way to achieve my goal, killing is still to be avoided unless they are evil and/or threatening to my well being
11. My goal in adventuring is to try and gain courage and maybe seek out someone who will accept me as I am so that maybe I can stop hiding myself away.
12. I am a follower of Selune
13. My characters personal beliefs are that people are judgmental and quick to base worth off of appearance. He also believes that worth should be determined by capabilities and personality primarily. Aside from that he also believes that the stars can serve as guides to people and that they should look to the sky more often.
14. As stated before, I am kind of anti-social and shy, and because of my lack of personal relationships I can be a bit awkward in the way I say things or my delivery. I can be a bit excitable with those who gain my trust when speaking about topics I know/like.
15. I adventure to spread kindness as I was shown by the church and to gain the courage to be myself more and prove that I am more than my appearance. I accepted the job as I am part of the Selunite church that asked for the job to be completed.
16. My role as an adventurer is to support others by making them stronger or the enemy weaker. I also aim to help guide battle and help provide insight into who or what we are facing.
17. As mentioned before, I have mismatched ears, eyes and different length arms as part of a birth defect from being of mixed heritage.
18. My character gets along with others quite well, even if he's shy, if they are not judgmental of him or overly criticizing of his appearance. Pushiness to remove his coverings is also unappreciated.
19. My character hates being judged for his looks alone and being overlooked before he can show his abilities.
20. My character fears rejection and also fears that he may be unworthy in the eyes of other or love.
I am open to tweaking my background as needed to fit the story. Also I chose Silvermoon Glade as I am not super knowledgeable on faerun. So I can change that too if it doesn't work
Can’t be from the Glade itself, as the whole first goal of the party so far is getting there and figuring out what’s going on. Being from Baldur’s Gate would work fine.
Also! I’ll be making my selection at the end of Monday, April 22nd, around 6-7 pm Central. So be sure to get everything you want done by then!

Updated to say I'm from baldurs gate outer city, and that I'm accepting job as part of the selunite church instead of being from the same church that requested the job. Thanks for the help. I'll be adding a backstory to my profile tonight
I’ve got this character to toss in, I’d need to drop back to first level (easy since I keep a record of build choices by lvl on the character sheet) and swap a trait. The bg questions are already your set, mentions the world wound but that’s easy to swap out.

You’ll be second level, not first. Excited to see it, but like I announced I’ll be picking at the end of today.
Very minor alteration to Rylassa's character sheet--moved 2 background skill points, 1 each, out of Appraise into Knowledge (Nobility) and Perform (Dance) to suit Rylassa's, well, background. Appraise can be useful but given her story she probably wouldn't necessarily recognize local market value or local maker's marks.
And yes, I recognize I'm effectively apping with a Disney princess to travel with a party of semi-monstrous misfits, but I feel like that's part of her charm. ;)
Good luck to all!
Alright, decision time! I want to once again thank you all for applying, wonderful characters you’ve drawn up. With that said, Rutilux, report to the discussion thread and introduce e yourself!
Wow! Thank you :)
