Crunch complete. Working on picking a name and stitching together a backstory.
how about a Drider Wizard(probably spell sage)?
a bookish girl form a rogue Drider collony searching for a way to stabilize or cure "modifications" made to her people.

Here he is. I said I would submit someone with Infernal ancestry, as the Devils and Demons are constantly fighting in the world of D&D and Pathfinder. I didn't pick the Infernal bloodline, but the fire elemental bloodline, as the Infernal bloodline gives a bunch of stuff that I personally would not use. Not to mention protection from good is not something I want. When I look at the stuff Infernal gives, it gives resistance to fire, so fire elemental would be a good bloodline to represent Infernals as well. When I look at the elemental bloodline, it says you may have gained this magic from outsiders. Infernals are outsiders. Not to mention, there were other outsider that his ancestors intermingled with, like the fire genies and Efreetis so his bloodline isn't purely Infernal or Efreeti, but Fire Elemental in general.
As far as character build, I have light armor proficiency as a feat now, but my armor is kilt and has no armor arcane spell failure chance. When I get the gold for it, I hope to purchase mithril shirt and take arcane armor training.
Then I'm going to focus on stuff like spell penetration, spell focus and the stuff where I can bypass spell resistance. As well as Iron will and stuff that increases his saves. He won't have metamagic feats, because I don't use those.

I believe I've got everything right. The rules for animal companions confuse me a tad at times, so if I messed up something, lemme know.

Belly Grease - The slurk exudes a slippery grease from its belly that grants it a +4 bonus on Escape Artist skill checks and to its CMD versus grapples. Once per minute, a slurk may wallow on a solid surface as a full-round action to coat the floor in a 5-foot radius with this grease. The smear created turns that area of floor into difficult terrain for 10 minutes, after which the grease dries to a nasty crust.
Hunker - The slurk gains a +4 bonus to its CMD to avoid bull rush or overrun attempts.
Slime - A slurk’s back is crusted with thick, dry slime and dozens of nodules. As a standard action at will, a slurk can squirt a jet of this slime from one of these nodules as a ranged touch attack against any target within 30 feet. The slime quickly hardens to the texture of cold tar, entangling the foe. Anyone the slurk successfully bull rushes or overruns is automatically squirted with back slime. The hardened slime can be removed as a full-round action with a DC 15 Strength check. The slurk’s back slime grants a creature riding it a +8 bonus on Ride checks made to stay in the saddle, but a –8 penalty on Ride checks to dismount.
One slurk in particular had grown very attached to Takka, who named the little toad mutant Sleek. Although strong, Sleek suffered from poor senses and even being partially blind in one eye. While the others abandoned the little slurk, Takka could not bear to see another creature suffer the same loneliness he had, and took to raising him away from the others. Helping him to grow big and strong, Takka soon learned how to ride Sleek and help him to maneuver in spite of his poor sight. In return, Takka found himself no longer needing to hobble about, instead letting Sleek do the legwork.
Feeling a sense of exile from his tribe, but finding his care of Sleek strangely rewarding, Takka decided to head for the surface with his new ride. Upon reaching the ground above, whittled out some armor and weapons from the trees, arming both himself and Sleek with these new tools and set out to become a wandering knight. He would protect and aid those like Sleek, those that the world had cast aside, and help them to realize their potential!
His first task is to seek out the silver dragon Terendelev, known well for being a guardian of the Worldwound. He hopes that under her instruction, he can learn to become a true champion of the weak and downtrodden.
Submitting Coramus Thallon, budding Conjurer and bane to all demons. Well, to the weak ones, for now.
Applying with Kyami a bard seeking for a true hero at the Worldwound. But she has some darkness, a secret to hide.
how about a modified drider, reduced to 14 RP? (removed the ability score traits, ability score modifyer normal, Size reduced to medium, lesser spellresitance)
@Mordack: Asking the hard and interesing question why we chose to play what we chose to play ;). Why a drider: a drider represents the dichotomy between man and monster, that other races also represent(like tieflings or halforcs), in a more cleanly split way, the upper half, a beatifull elfen girl and the lower half a giant spider. The same dichotomy exists between what people expect (a simple Monster) and what she is, a girl with motivations, goals, dremas and free will.
So my motivation for a drider is toying with the dichotomy between peoples (PCs and NPCs) expectations and reality, which on that level and in this setting almost requires a race as exotic as a drider(the "normal" "monsterous" races are running around in too great numbers to pull it of, people are used to them :))
thank you for the Question, it made me question things and made me come to new realizations :)
no drider :(
but the campain still seems interesting, so how about a Miko(Inquisitor(Ikonoklast,preacher)) of whatever Inari substitute Golarion has.
Guys, thanks for the question and answer above. I still say no to the drider, but I realize now that you've given the matter real thought. Honestly, I thought you were just some munchkin who wanted to play THE WEIRDEST! race in the party. I see now that I was wrong.
This may also be the reason so many people are choosing monstrous races and/or neutral aligned characters: it lets them reify the dichotomy. You could also internalize the duality by having a more "normal" character who struggles with psychological or mental issues, but not everybody wants to play that.
Hm.
Yeah. It's why I love to play kobolds: they are underdogs both mechanically and theme-wise. It's also why I went with a cavalier; they are better with a team, because they can support others through more than just buffs and ranged covering fire.
For me, kobolds are fun because they yield some unorthodox concepts. It's fun to see something that has no business being a hero try to play the hero. Why do they pursue it? Why choose this route? Why be good when the nasty tricky path is far easier? Is it better to be born 'good' or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? (Yes, I did shamelessly rob that from Skyrim...)

DM, any chance we could get feedback on our characters? Even if it is just a sentence or two. I don't mean to be a bother about it, but when I get no feedback from a DM, I sometimes wonder if the DM looked at my submission at all. It is one of my pet peeves that I have to have feedback that way I know that the DM didn't just skip over reading the character entirely whether it would be intentional or unintentional. Though I do let it slide if selection is done by the players and the DM is rerecruiting.
Application is ready. I've reworked the fluff a bit, and added some hooks for you.
He's an evangelist cleric, but I can easily change the archetype if there is a bard in the group with Inspire Courage.
As is, I see him as a great buffer, passable healer, and secondary melee in combat.
Feel free to make comments or offer suggestions.
Your character and mine would make an interesting pair; we're both Clerics but are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of what we do, with you being the buffer cleric and mine focusing more on debuffs.

Haruko grew up as an orphant in the Shrine of the Messager Fox. Even at a young age she often had dreams of foxes, especialy after she explored the surroundings of the Shrine or after she played a (successful) prank.
The young Miko always had a strong connection the Daikitsu's messager foxes. As she grew older she had visions of Daikitsu telling her that a important Message from Daikitsu was waiting for her to be delivered. The things the growing girl enjoyed most were achery and the Springtime Festival of the Foxes, in which she played the role of the messager fox as soon as she was old enough to do so.
On the day she recived her ordination as a full Miko she recived a Vision from Daikitsu finally telling Haruka the Message she is to deliver, '''Travle to the Wound in this plane and fight in my name, so the world shall know that they don't stand alone, that we stand on their side '''.
on the day after her vision she explained it to the Head Miko, packed her stuff, said her goodbyes and hit the road.
After traveling almoust a year and running out of funds somewhere in Avistan, she finaly reached Kenabres.
takes her dutys as miko serious,polite to strangers but can be miscivous especialy, when among people she knows.
For Haruka personal freedom is very important, she is someone that gives second chances to those that are serious.
will help people in need if she sees the necesety or is asked for help.
Haruka is a girl slightly below avarage size with redish brown hair, a bit above soulder lenght, warm brown eyes and a cute mouth with a miscivous smirk.

Posting character here again for ease of review.
I prefer internalizing the dichotomy to externalizing it ;)
Good luck folks.
Same here! There are some good apps, which makes for tough competition, but guarantees a very good party regardless of the choices. :)
I am hopeful, and would love to work with several of these characters on merging backstories/plothooks/etc.....
DM, are you by chance a teacher or an author or have one of those related careers?

Aw, man, I would've loved it if you were. A teacher who was into D&D would probably be my favorite. The way you listed out your requirements and explained them concisely like you did above gave me that impression, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. XD
Boo!
In all seriousness, good luck guys. Especially you, Kyami.
*squeals in excitement, pause... dials it back* I am thoroughly delighted! I look forward to slaying demons with you guys!
*waits until nobody's looking... fist pump*
Thanks for the consideration Douglas Muir 406. Good luck with the game everyone!

Thanks master ;)
Sorry for taking the arcane spot, I guess the "telling the tale" role really mingles good with this one.
Congratulations to all selected, and hope you have a great time!
congrats for all who got in hope to play this Wrath of the Righteous some day...
