Hearing the crass pirate insult the goddess of fire, the Water Ghost, who has mysteriously risen from the waves to be standing upon the water beside the ship, lifts her hand and points at the blasphemer. A moment later a pea sized ball of flame shoots forth. When it strikes the man, it bursts into flame engulfing the ship and all the invader crew.
Tobias stands up and gets all sorceress-like
"YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!"
And the flame dissipates as nothing had happen.
A man in fine clothing sits in the corner with his feet propped up and his hat hiding his face. His chest rises and falls with deep, rhythmic breadths. He looks for all the world to be sleeping but his attention to the conversations going on couldn't be more focused. If one could see them and were really paying attention, one might see his slightly longer then human ears twitch towards a particularly juicy bit if information. It is a good thing Goblin is similar to pirate or else I would have no idea what these drooling buffoons are saying. Note to self, best learn this slack-jawed accent to fit in, in certain crowds. Could be useful. Never know. Also find this Davy Jones. Arr. Ye. Hasin. An. Bout. Hm, Papyrus Anchor? Colloquial insult?
A tall, hooded figure leans against a wall, tiny rough scales covering his muscled arms. I hope some of these fools have money, I'm lacking at the moment. I just finished up my last job, so as long as they don't want to invade tribal land, I can guide them wherever they need.
As his talents grew, he became the most fearsome warrior of his tribe, and a ranking member of the Broken. But one day, as he snuck into the Silk District to discretely destroy a merchants wagon, in order to stop them from transporting goods to guards all around the island, he heard the whispers of guards just before he incapacitated them. They whispered of the Broken, and their savagery, and how they didn’t understand how such primitives could be so violent towards those attempting to civilize them. That night, he left enemies alive, and as they woke they remembered a whisper in their ear, “We aren’t so bad, just returning fire as we receive it.”
Regardless of his justification, those guards forced Nalan to think about what he was doing, and if it was right. He decided that he needed to continue to work against colonialism, but without the help of the Broken, in order to decrease the stigma against the Tulita and Dajobasu. Since then, he’s spent years on his own, sometimes working with various Tulita tribes to protect them from “explorers” who would destroy their homes, and sometimes working as a mercenary or sword for hire, using his natural skills and knowledge of the terrain to be a truly top-level guide. He hopes that by making himself known to both sides of the conflict, he can reduce the hatred of both sides towards each other, and begin to help his native people survive in the face of colonists who may wish to expand into tribal lands.
His body is no less intimidating, from the thick, ropy muscles that cover his entire body to the many tattoos that stretch across his arms, from a black wave washing over a ship to a smaller tattoo of a dolphin on the inside of his left wrist.

Special Abilities
====================
Studied Target: A slayer can study an opponent he can see as a move action. The slayer then gains a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent, and a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against it. The DCs of slayer class abilities against that opponent increase by 1. A slayer can only maintain these bonuses against one opponent at a time; these bonuses remain in effect until either the opponent is dead or the slayer studies a new target.
If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a target, he can study that target as an immediate action, allowing him to apply his studied target bonuses against that target (including to the normal weapon damage roll).
At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels, the bonuses on weapon attack and damage rolls, as well as the bonus to slayer ability DCs against a studied, target increase by 1. In addition, at each such interval, the slayer is able to maintain these bonuses against an additional studied target at the same time. The slayer may discard this connection to a studied target as a free action, allowing him to study another target in its place.
At 7th level, a slayer can study an opponent as a move or swift action.
Track: A slayer adds 1/2 his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
Sneak Attack: At 3rd level, if a slayer catches an opponent unable to defend itself effectively from his attack, he can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The slayer's attack deals extra damage anytime his target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the slayer flanks his target. This additional damage is 1d6 at 3rd level, and increases by 1d6 every 3 levels thereafter. Should the slayer score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this additional damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or unarmed strike), a slayer can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. He cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The slayer must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A slayer cannot use sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

The tanned Elf wanders slowly through the town looking intently/interestedly at seeming everything around her.
Her tanned arms and legs showing her natural inclination of being an active, outdoors kind of being. That all she wears wrapped about her tanned torso seems to be the bundle that is a silk fishing net, strategically held in place by the application of jewelry, is also indicative of her life-style choices.
Across her back rests the scabbard of a long, elegant and gracefully curved sword.
(^_^)
The beast pads quietly behind the lithe, tanned figure. Slinking deftly within the thin shadow of the elven creature.
Powerful haunches, their flanks a-shine with silken fur, meld smoothly into the great feathered fore-body of a powerful winged monster of prey.
Large golden orbs blink only occasionally at the many things around the beast. The creature more intent on sizing up the animals that scurry and skitter around it. Their often sudden erratic motions instinctively attracting its predatory glare.
Here's Kattra, my changeling warlord.
She stowed away on a merchant vessel heading south, and when she was found she sweet-talked the crew into letting her stay on and work for her passage. A few days in to the trip, the merchantman was set upon by the pirate ship Fer-de-Lance. The merchant tried to outrun the pirate, with disastrous results, as the pirate Captain Gorrek ran her down and slaughtered most of the crew. Kattra was taken as a captive, with Gorrek figuring she could provide some "amusement" on the voyage.
But fate had other plans. The carnage that resulted from the attack on the merchant ship attracted the attention of a band of sahaugin, who tracked the Fer-de-Lance and attacked at dusk. The pirates suffered heavy losses in the fight, and as the fight raged Kattra didn't like her chances of talking her way out of trouble as she had her first two times, so she picked up a fallen man's sword and joined the pirates in repelling the raid. By the end of the night Gorrek saw the potential Kattra had shown, and she earned a spot as a member of the crew (a decision made easier in light of the heavy losses the pirates had suffered).
Kattra took to the life easily, and rose through the ranks to become a trusted mate of the ship. In this time she earned her nickname, "the White Wyvern", in reference to her pale skin and ferocity in battle with her twin starknives. Things went well until a recent voyage netted them some treasures from a long-lost temple to an ancient serpent god. On their way home, the Fer-de-Lance was attacked by a giant sea serpent that proceeded to destroy the vessel. The last two left alive on the deck were Gorrek and Kattra. The fearsome beast reared back and started to lunge at Kattra when it stopped, regarded her for a moment, then turned, grabbed Gorrek and took him below the waves.
Kattra got one of the ship's boats free and made her way to land. She eventually made her way back to Port Shaw, and after gathering up a few belongings she had stashed as a contingency, is now trying to plot her next move.
As I'm pasting this in, I just realized I didn't finish equipping her. :-( I swear I'll do it but it's 1am here and I'll just turn her into a train wreck if I do it now. DM, do you accept bribes in the form of P&P rules or dishes of lasagna...? :-)

When is recruitment closed exactly? At the start of Thursday or on Thursday? I'm still working on a char and it will be finished today but not yet.
Looking at a Foulspawn Tiefling Primal Companion Hunter focusing on archery. She'd be of Kamu Tulita origin but an outcast due to her tainted blood.
Cool, actually have a level 5 already made, but I wanted to know if you would be willing to allow any 3.5 material like feats?
*Squeee glop-hugz Ruul* (^_^)
Watches as their feed provider wrestles large amount of meat...

Tonight, Eastern Standard Time
For some reason, this brings my mind to Skarre (from Cryx/Privateer Press) and her Great Rack weapon ...
Whom, now that I think about it, would probably been a good base for a Razor Coast character ... Darn :P
Good luck everyone! I'm very impressed with the quality of the submissions here.
The first thing you notice is his alabaster skin, the second are the arcane and tribal etchings covering his arms and cheeks, then finally his distinctly elven ears
Sal'hara sits toiling in a booth in the tavern as his usual routine. Leather animal skins splayed out on the table before him, the light rhythmic tapping of a hammer against a nail accompanying his presence. While his attentions seem to be keenly focused on his task, he listens to the conversations happening in the bar.
@William Nightmoon- you know that you can just edit the original post, right? And no, no you may not (at least, I hope not. He said lvl 5 in the creation guidelines.)
NO! BAD! Only I'm allowed to submit a necromancer! If you submit one, it lowers my odds, and I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want in on this game.
Lol. Necromancy! You guys are cute. You know most people only think about that as death magic, but you've also got the life magic that makes you stronger as a necromancer if you pursue it.
Heals is where its at though if you want to be mechanically desired by the rest of your group.

Healing isn't really my style. I wan those who've wronged me (or, to a slightly lesser extent, others) to suffer. That's why I specialize in debuffs. Soon, though, I'll be able to cast Animate Dead. Once I get that, I'll be unstoppable.
.... Once I get that, I'll be unstoppable.
*Bounces over and hugles Alynthar42* (^_^)
Much cheers an' bestest wishes ta' every one! (^_^)
"I am Groot."
The real punishment in vengeance against those who have wronged you is being able to maximize the duration one can experience pain... The dead feel no pain. Healing is the true blessing of Zon'Kuthon!
Er... I mean...
Balance in all things. I'm buff/debuff capable, even Necro-capable, but I still have healing.
For some reason, this brings my mind to Skarre (from Cryx/Privateer Press) and her Great Rack weapon ...
Link to image and some tales of said character.
My own, humble, attempt at writing about Pirates in the Iron Kingdom's setting. *Bows*
I'm thinking that the Maw/Claws Tiefling alternative raical trait could just as well be a Gore attack with horns ... : )
And I'll take a look at your linkys for inspiration later : )

Ok, everyone will have to suffer for a bit longer before selections, because there is a completely b******' party going on tonight! I will likely post around 1:00 AM EST!
To break the waiting tension, here is a not-so-serious pirate video to watch, so enjoy!
GORRAMNIT!!!! I saw that you'd posted and was so excited!
I hope this isnt a late april fools.
NOOOO! BAD! NO MORE SUBMISSIONS!

"I am Groot" He says trying to match the tune.
And I won't be able to finish it in time, so I won't be competing for a spot after all. Good luck to you all
The small hobbit appeared suddenly out of the shadows and put a small pistol to your head. "If you are loyal to the dragoons, you'll find your brains on the pavement. Now tell me what I need to know, and your brains stay on the inside and I don't have to buy a new jacket."
As he left as suddenly as he appeared: "There is a new sheriff in town, and his name is Reggie Hamblin, now wait, that's Sidwell Collins."
