Hey guys (and girls), i am searching for 2, maybe 3 players who want to have a lively, active game. I GM on here before but do to a car accident i was out of the works for a while. im looking for a lively bunch so here is what i ask.
- All Core classes from Core rule book are welcome. I will however like ONE person to be a class from any book available. This is a first come, first awarded.
- Core rule book races only please.
- 4d6 stat roll, drop lowest. Re rolls only if 3 or more stats are 10 or below. If anyone rolls all 6's in a single roll, they get a automatic 20 for that roll (haven't seen this happen yet but.. we shall see)
- i will be useing the AP but ill be throwing curve balls here and there to make it exciting.
- Active people only (i would like 2 or more posts a single day, but i do know that's asking a lot so im happy with one post.. just throwing that out there)
I would like to start ASAP as i have nothing but time on my hands.
Let the submissions begin!
I'll bite:

Since I'm the first, I'll dot with an occultist (assuming that you are ok with the occult classes).
Nucular, it is nucular.
Ahem... Simpsons aside, paint me interested.
I will refrain from stating my class intention because I need to think about it, but here come the rolls!
Three 10s, that means a reroll!
Pretty great array, with a nice dump stat to boot! What would be my flaw? I'll think about it.

I like to put my hat in for this one, heard it should be a good AP.
I useal check my games throughout the day and make a post where it seems fitting for me to take one, sometimes that means between 1-3 posts maybe slower during combat. I play from Denmark so I will mostly be active at other times then you.

Are you planning to use traits?
And do you allow archetypes or perfer the vanilla classes?
I'm thinking on a half elf or human, and I'll stick with a core class just need to find a good idea with my rolls. I mostly build melee type characters as I enjoy getting up close and personal

Huh. 24-point buy equivalent, but it's all pretty spread out. Guess I'll see what I can make out of this.
Are you allowing archetypes from any source or for the rest of us is it straight crb?

Well she said she wanted one non core character. What I read about CoC is that it is a city adventure.
And she said first come first served. I presented the first full char. If the dot is called I am fine with it, too;-)
Working on the crunch for a bard. I'd like to hear about traits, archetypes, etc. before finishing though.

Interested to hear about the allowance of archetypes first, but I'm thinking maybe a human rogue.
Backstory done, I assumed two traits, including one campaign. Also, took the lingering performance feat, though I don't think that was in core. I hope that's alright, though.
Will you be allowing archetypes?
Here is Azih's character. She is from Shoanti parents, but she's not too much from the Shoanti culture as she's Westcrown born and bred. She's a Shelynite and has found good work as a guard for a jewelry store in Parego Spera.
Assumed 175 starting gold and two traits, one campaign. Please let me know if there's any mistakes or any other changes that I should make. I did assume archetypes were allowed and used Urban Ranger.
Thanks for the consideration and looking forward to your decision.

Background
My parents say I wasn't conceived in Cheliax so if I'm not going to act very Shoanti then I should at least act like a pirate rather than Chelaxian. But I was sure as heck born and grew up here in Westcrown so I figure it's their own fault for settling down here as traders and merchants rather than raising me back on the home plains.
But Westcrown is home for me and being a 'barbarian' as my friends joke has helped me get a good job of my own. There's a lot of rich shops that need guards around here and I'm one of 'em. A jewelry store in Parego Spera pays me to keep the store safe. Having me around with my great big honking sword and my bow and arrows and my meaningful stares has probably kept a lot of folks from getting funny ideas about smashing and grabbing some shinies. Not on my watch! I also help out at the Shelynite temple whenever they need someone tall and strong to move things around. I'm sure glad they're around cause honestly, the Asmodeans give me the willies.
Now don't get me wrong, my parents are right that there's a heck of a lot not right about the place I think of as home. But unlike them I just figure it's something worth fighting to make better.

And Fluff:
Udaas was born in Egorian to a family of relatively well off musicians and performers. However, he did not have much interest in music, at first. Rather, he was drawn to knowledge, knowledge about history, magic, and things beyond the simple Material Plane. And so he learned. But, then his father died. The exact cause remained something of a mystery, however, it was rumored that his father had become involved in some strange cult to an unknown being from the Dark Tapestry. Udaas’ father had left some things behind for Udaas, however. A sizeable amount of gold, and, a couple of books on the insane creatures that dwelt in the places between the stars. Udaas read this books, and, perhaps, learned some things he should not have. And as he looked into the abyss, something looked back and him, and reached out from the void. Udaas was touched by the eldritch music of some vast, impossible entity that dwelt in the space between the stars, and he was changed forever. Though no gibbering cultist, he was left perhaps mildly disturbed. More importantly, music had changed him, and it was music that started to give him power. With an erratic tune on his pan pipes, he found that he could perform feats he never could have before. But, the rest of his family was less than pleased at the sudden intrusion of some distant cosmic entity into their family, and so, Udaas was cast out. Eventually, he found himself in Westcrown. Here, he is known only as the hard eyed man in the yellow cloak who makes a living playing his strange tunes and dark stories of the strange entities that reside in the blackness.
Physical Description: Caucasian male, dark hair, brown eyes, five foot five inches, tends to wear a yellow cloak in addition to the usual outfit.
Should be completely done!

She openly displays her worship to the Master of the First Vault, being a deity that upholds the law without it being an evil aligned god. Being a worshipper of Abadar she schooled to uphold the law and protect those who legally trades with other towns and cities.
The last year Marianna has been employed in Westcrown as an instuctor for a young noble woman she has seen first hand what the state of the city is. She is disgusted by the amount of crime in the city and the corrupt nobility doing anything to cling to thier former glory and ignore the needs of the people. She is looking for like minded individuals who wants to change the city for the better and returning it to be a place she'd happily call home one day.
Lady Marianna is 5 ft tall slender but compact with her musclemass. She has light brownish skin hinting at some far away heritage with varisians. Short black hair and brown eyes.
Ahhh three traits and a campaign trait. Does that mean four traits total or three?
I'll go with three traits and a drawback. Easy enough to adjust it. Also added gear.

Verus doesn't know why, but he awoke in the middle of the night. He immediately realized something was wrong and quickly rushed to the door. Upon opening the door, Verus was greeted by a wall of flames. The first thought that went through his mind was that the Janus has finally had enough of him and was going to kill him in his sleep. However, not a moment later the thought was gone and Verus's survival instincts kicked in. He immediately began looking for a way out when part of the roof nearest to the door collapsed from the fire, leaving a view of night sky. "If the roof is weak enough to collapse, maybe I can break through." Verus thought to himself. He immediately began piling what he could in the corner farthest from the flames and climbed on top of it. Once he felt sturdy he began pushing at the roof with everything he had. Verus was about to give up when the roof finally gave way. As quickly as he could Verus climbed into the night.
Upon reaching safety, Verus realized it wasn't just his room, but the whole house was in flames. Several townsfolk were running to and from the house trying to get the fire under control. It was chaos. It was his chance at freedom. He could flee and everyone would just assume he was a charred corpse in the rubble, no one would be looking for him. First, with everyone distracted, Verus stealthily made his way to the hunting shed on the edge of the property. There he grabbed some supplies, including a bow and made his way out towards the river. Verus knew he had to put as much distance as he could between himself and the city and using the current seemed the best way to do it.
Verus found himself a small rowboat moored on the bank and quickly made his way to it. With no one around and the cover of night on his side he pushed the boat in and began his journey away. His journey took him many days. He would spend the days hidden in the woods hunting game for food. At night he would continue his journey down the river, making sure to avoid the cities. At the end, Verus ended up in the town of Westcrown. He didn't really have a choice whether or not to stay there as the river opened up to the Inner sea.
Verus quickly adapted himself to the town, hiding his mark so as to avoid questions, and finding work as a freelance tracker and hunter. The curious thing he could never understand was the town's fear of the dark. The town seemed to believe there was some curse upon the town and that evil creatures roam after dark. Maybe I'll figure out whats really going on here, Verus idly thinks to himself.
Appearance and Personality
Verus has the appearance of a rugged male. He has dark brown hair that he keeps cut short and piercing blue eyes. Verus stands six feet tall and has a lithe physique that belies his strength. At its heart, his personality is friendly and jovial, but he is overly cautious. He is always on the lookout for anyone who might recognize him and drag him back into his bondage.
All right, here's my bard. The stat array and build is going to end up a little odd, but essentially I'm conceiving of him very much as a social beast with some combat support capabilities. I've read that there's a good bit of intrigue in this AP, so hopefully he'd have a chance to contribute there as well.
Just for clarification, you would prefer we do the 3 traits + 1 drawback thing, with one of those traits being a campaign trait? Or without the drawback? I just did the three traits themselves, but if you'd prefer a drawback as well, I'm perfectly willing to add it. I'm pretty sure I know which one I'd choose, too!
Other than that, this should be the final crunch.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Armored Casting (Ex) You can cast bard spells while wearing light armor and use a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance.
Bardic Knowledge (Ex) You add +1 to all Knowledge checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.
Bardic Performance You are trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around you, including yourself if desired. You are trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around you, including yourself if desired. You can use this ability for 7 rounds per day. Each round, you can produce any one of the types of bardic performance that you have mastered. Starting a bardic performance is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action. A bardic performance cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if you are killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. You cannot have more than one bardic performance in effect at one time.
Cantrips You have learned a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Charming Blessed with good looks, you've come to depend on the fact that others find you attractive. You gain a +1 trait bonus when you use Bluff or Diplomacy on a character that is (or could be) sexually attracted to you, and a +1 trait bonus to the save DC of any language-dependent spell you cast on such characters or creatures.
Child of Infamy Your family has long been in show business. Perhaps it was your parents, or an older sibling, or an uncle or aunt - whatever the case, one of your close relatives is, or was, a well-known and well-loved actor or actress. That this relation died in some compromising and embarrassing way has done little to alter your family's name and fame - if anything, the unfortunate death has increased it. When folk learn your last name, they are quick to assume you live a wild life like your ill-fated relative, and whether you bask in this notoriety or do your best to hide your heritage, the years of association with the acting scene have had their effect. You've certainly inherited your relative's talents, and are a larger-than-life figure, a melodramatic attention-hound, or a sly manipulator of emotions. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perform (Act) skill checks, and the skill is always considered a class skill for you. Furthermore, you've inherited some of your relative's funds, and begin play with a nest egg of 300 gp that you can spend however you wish.
Countersong (Su) You can counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components). Each round of the countersong you make a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components.
Distraction (Su) You can use your performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, make a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.
Fascinate (Su) You can use your performance to cause up to 1 creatures to become fascinated with you. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear you, and capable of paying attention to you. You must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 13) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, you cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes your performance for as long as you continue to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.
Inspire Courage (Su) You can use your performance to inspire courage in your allies (including yourself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive your performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. Inspire courage can use audible or visual components. The bard must choose which component to use when starting his performance.
Marcus was born to be a performer. That's not simply praise for his talent as an actor, but a fact of his birth. Born in Westcrown to a family of actors, singers, and performers, Marcus Merula was steeped in the profession from very early on. Fortunately for him, he turned out to be quite gifted in that regard. He demonstrated a flair for the dramatic and an ability to turn words to his advantage even as a child, and his family was quite certain that acting would be his calling.
However, Marcus wasn't the only Merula on their way up. His sister Elena, three years his elder, was a rising opera star in her own right. As the two grew older, a friendly rivalry developed between them, with each pushing the other ever onward: Marcus with drama, Elena with opera. She turned out to be one of the most successful members of the Merula family in generations, and by the time she and Marcus were in their later teenage years, she was quickly becoming quite popular with a lot of people.
Elena had many admirers and a lot of attention, including from the sorts with a lot of power and few morals. It was still quite sad for Marcus, if not entirely unexpected, when she was found dead on a side street near one of Westcrown's seedier establishments, having apparently been engaged in all sorts of debauchery prior to her death. Her death did not quite diminish the Merula name so much as change what people associated it with, much to the family's surprise.
Elena's death was quite hard for Marcus, though. He had been close to Elena his entire life, and he knew Elena was not quite as hedonistic and as the circumstances of her death made her seem. Marcus certainly was at times, but that wasn't really her thing. He has heard rumors indicating that her death may have involved the Church of Asmodeus, one of the nobility in Westcrown, or perhaps both. While continuing to pursue his own art, he has kept his ear to the ground, hoping to finally hear something that can lead him to whoever hurt his sister so badly.
Description:
Marcus is a handsome young Chelaxian man with short, dark hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. He stands about 6'1", with a slender build. His clothing is reasonably fashionable, and his overall appearance gives the impression of a man more used to moving through hazardous social environments than hazardous wilderness.
