Thanks for the feedback, I made some changes.
Firstly, lacking that extra trait was a simple oversight on my part, I added the Illuminator trait, as it sort of ties in to how I feel she resolves disputes, as well as being relevant to her worship again.
Secondly, I changed up my stats a little, dropping STR down to 8, and CHA up to 12. I realised that at least skill wise, diplomacy should be a little higher, and that in hindsight, three channels per day potentially isn't great in the first place. I didn't want to make Charisma an overbearing focus as (ooc), I wanted to explore playing a cleric that wasn't solely a heal bot (though Meditrina will certainly be doing healing). If you want me to emphaise the channel a little more I'll think a little more about making Charisma more of a focus, although currently I'm fairly happy with how her stats look.
Lastly, yes, you are correct that the Heldren aspect was light, simply because it was so small and insignificant, I was struggling to find strong ties to Heldren.
As far as Taldor is concerned, I fear its simply a victim of differing source books. I wrote the backstory with a focus on sarenrae using the Inner Sea Gods book as a baseline. The source states the church itself is rather strong in Taldor, hence, I had assumed it was no longer banned. In conjunction with this, I did a little research on Heldren, and read somewhere that while Erastil was the dominant religion in the village, Sarenrae was still worshipped by some, so I considered that a worthwhile reason for her to stay the night there.
Relevant Text from Inner Sea Gods:
During the Age of Enthronement, missionaries from the
Padishah Empire of Kelesh, where worship of Sarenrae
is the state religion, began spreading her faith into the
Inner Sea region, where it quickly took root. Today, the
church of Sarenrae is common across the region, with
good communication between temples and amiable
relationships with most non-oppressive governments.
The church is strongest in Absalom, Katapesh, Osirion,
Qadira, Taldor, and Thuvia, in which great gold-adorned
open-air temples rise tall and white into the skies, though
the church's emphasis on kindness, healing, joy, and
redemption makes it popular across the continents, and
shrines to the Dawnflower dot countrysides in most
nations.
Anyway, let me know your personal preference in regards to Taldor and the Sarenrae religion, (as I don't want to ruin anything) and I'll juggle around my backstory to fit. I imagine that I would simply change it as her being a "secret" (or non obvious) worshiper of Sarenrae within Taldor if you would prefer the religion still being banned.
Don't hesitate to let me know if there is something else you want changed, or if you want further information on any part of my character, its really no trouble at all for me to do so.

It looks like the party will consist of your preferred candidates, but I have this PFS level 1 Infernal Binder who just went through the Frostfur Captives mod here on the boards and is in a perfect position to get caught up in Reign of Winter. I figured I'd go ahead and submit her, since I've been looking at Reign of Winter for a while but haven't gotten to play it.
Her reason for being in Heldren is that she is delivering a message to Ionnia Teppen. In fact, she was in Zimar on a mission for the Pathfinders and as that wrapped up she was asked to take the short trip to Heldren to take a sealed scroll to Ms. Teppen. She doesn't know what's on the scroll, who Ionnia Teppen is, or anything about Heldren, but it wasn't too far to travel and doing a favor for a higher up in the Society can't hurt.
Aspex's additional campaign trait would be Adaptive Magic. She's a graduate of the prestigious Egorian Academy of Magical Arts, so is very curious about new types of magic.
I can vouch that Aspex is a great, well played character. Her alignment is not an issue, although my character made sure not to sign any contracts in blood. ;)
-edit- never mind! Here I thought you were eeeevil.
Also, ginganinja appears to be a cool person from what I could tell from a kind of odd and aborted recruitment we participated in...glad to see you're a contender for this one, ginga!

She's Neutral with a strong lean toward Evil. That's only because PFS doesn't allow Evil PCs. If I'd made her non-PFS she'd definitely be evil. But to allay any worries, she's not Stupid Evil, going out of her way to maim kittens and screw over her party members. She's pragmatic and is not going to antagonize the five other people with swords who knows where she sleeps.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)
And really, maiming kittens is best done in the privacy of one's lab. ;)
I would very much like to participate if possible. Let me know if this character concept is workable.
By means of guile and evil trickery Ssarkh unleashed a powerful spell on Aldous which drew him through a dimensional portal and deposited him in a strange and distant world (Golarion). Both his mind and body became fractured by the magical forces unleashed on Aldous that day. He suffered from a limited form of amnesia and was shocked to discover that he had lost all his magical ability! He had been cut off from the source of magic that runs through Seridia and had no way of returning. Back on Seridia, Ssarkh was free at last to advance his evil plans with no one powerful enough to oppose him. As Aldous struggles to come to terms with his limitations he vows to regain his former magical strength and seek a means of returning to Seridia.
At least that is Aldous’ story. It is possible that he is simply a crazy old man.
Aldous Astalar is 62 yrs old. He is average height with a thin wiry frame. He has a long white beard and tufts of hair crown his balding head. The years have taken their toll on his body and he is neither as strong nor as agile as he once was. His razor sharp intellect remains however. Whether or not his story of distant lands and former glory are true or not, he does possess an aptitude for magic. Studious and analytical he possesses great arcane wisdom as well as knowledge of engineering and of distant planes of existence. His hobby is languages and he has managed to become fluent in quite a few obscure dialects. Aldous is helpful and friendly with a kind heart and a strong will. While his epic tales of glory can be amusing he has an annoying habit of always recalling an obscure anecdote which relates to the situation at hand. He is prone to overestimating his magical prowess and abilities.
He has recently travelled to the hamlet of Heldren. He has heard of rumors that powerful and ancient dormant magical energies surround the sleepy village. Somehow Heldren may be connected to distant lands or worlds via dimensional portals. He intends to investigate the truth of these rumors in an effort to return to Seridia.

@Aldous: At 63 your character is considered old which means a +2 to int, wis, and cha but a -3 to str, dex, and con. I crunched the points and even without the +2 from human you still have 2 points left (assuming original stats as str13 con13 dex13 int15 wis10 cha12). You could bump up wis and have an int of 19 which is rather impressive.

I messed that up big time. I did 15 point buy only but I also forgot to apply the aging effects for "middle aged". Will re-work.
You're still underselling yourself. 20 point buy. You're at 15.
So Aldous ends up with the following primary ability scores:
Str 13-3=10
Dex 13-3=10
Con 13-3=10
Int 15+2+2=19
Wis 13+2=15
Cha 11+2=13
All of his Int based skills go up by 1. Everything else stays the same.
Ginganinja - additional CHA is your call, not a requirement. Looks like you've re-arranged a bit. Thanks!
Leave your story as is, we'll work it into the intro for the campaign
As far as I am concerned, you can consider yourself in the group. Go ahead and move to the Discussion tab.
That is one slot (divine) filled.
Thanks!
Best of luck to everyone else.

Here is the updated list. One of 6 spots is taken. I will choose another later today, perhaps. I am going to continue to review builds player by player and give you comments. If you need edits, this is the time to get them done.
Looks like a good dwarven monk. I like the grapple focus, but I'm not sure how you have a +8 to grapple, I could only get a +6....Here are some other things you need to investigate or change.
1. Alignment - monks can only be lawful. Your current CG isn't going to work.
2. Skill points - I show you have 4 to spend (even with Favored Class) but looks like you spent 5.
3. Serpentine Squeeze is only usuable by followers of the CE serpentine god Ydersius. I don't think that'll be your deity and you stay a monnk, so you'll need to find another basic trait.
Backstory needs some work. You need some explanation of why you are in Heldren, which isn't in the north at all, but on the border of Qadira and Taldor in the Inner Sea region. If you came from teh north to Heldren it might make sense to have the coldweather gear and snowshoes, but why come there? The idea of a grappling dwarf is okay, but monk's need years of study and discipline to get their abilities, so we need to see that training in your story as well.
Cuan - Andras would be next, but if he's still not done, I will wait until you post with him. The competition is fierce here, so if you don't have him done soon, you may lose your spot.
Wolfgang - similar story. I need more than a concept in the near future.
The build looks solid for a wizard evoker. The backstory makes sense and gives you a reason to be in Heldren.
The only thing that doesn't tie for me is the Grandmother teaching you Skald, and then that language not being on your list of known tongues. Either change the backstory to Hallit or change your known language to Skald, and it'll be fixed.
I like your chances of getting in the game at this point!
The build looks good. My only issue now is the dog. If you use the stats for Riding Dog, you're giong to have to pay the price of a Riding Dog (150gp).
A Guard dog is statted like a dog from the Beastiary, but is only 50gp. Pick one or the other, can't have the lower price and the highter stats. Using an pet etc in combat requires a Handle Animal check for them to do your bidding, that could bee interesting.
If you can get that fixed, you might be my first Melee type taken into the game.
That gets me through all the completed preferred list candidates. I selected Meditrina because she was the only true divine candidate so far, and her sheet was ready to go, and her build and story were good.
I have given several of you some required changes, that if made, might get you in the game as well.
I have RL game tomorrow night, so may not get much more reviewing done. Good luck working on your sheets, and as always, PM me with questions.
So my RL RoW game might be ending as the GM wants to try out a different AP. As such, I would like to submit my character Khar for consideration.
Basic background in the profile.
To note I have played through the first (I believe) 2 books of the AP but I know how to keep my OOC and IC seperate and as I mentioned I would love to see this play out in PbP with some more focus on the RP aspects.
2. Couldn't give anything up so I dumped Cha. Reasoning being a)don't really need it and b) it fits my backstory since he is scarred from fighting so much unarmed and unarmored.
3. I used the pfsrd to find traits and it didn't mention anything about having to worship a snake god. Changed to reactionary anyway. Instead of being bullied he is just quicker to react because he hunted creatures underground. Also why I took survival.
Changed backstory. I know Heldren isn't north but neither is he. He is from the south but his ancestors are form the north, which is why I have the trait. Added some description about training but not all monks are monastery trained. The description on Paizo says they can be self-taught brawlers and he taught himself over years against formidable creatures underground. This lends itself towards some of his later abilities like grab and constrict and, in a sense, Serpentine Squeeze? Maybe? No? Alright.
** spoiler omitted **
I noticed that once before and fixed it but apparently the website lost it (the form fill for Firefox remembered it as soon as I started typing the change though.)
Needless to say, it reads Skald now as it should.
Just attempted to create my mount, but not sure if I did it correctly. Anyone mind giving me a once over?
Brave's background was fleshed out a bit more in relation to how he became a Paladin of Sarenrae and why he is in Heldren.
Sorry for being a tad slow, but Andras is complete now. Everything is there, I'll just write out stuff like bardic performance under special abilities so I don't have to look them up elsewhere.
Still here, halfway done with the back story which I will most likely finish before the end of the day, the crunch shouldn't take me too long. I apologize for my lateness, and appreciate your patience Doc.
Just a heads up. Although I would love to play with some of the chaps here.... I am already in a RoW group. And I have seen so many great chars already that I wish you all the best.
Wish you were playing Helikon, but luck to you too!
Based on the builds and quick fixes, I'd like to invite Agatha and Trawets into the game. Please dot over in the Discussion tab as we continue to muster your party-mates.
That fills 3 of the 6 slots (divine, arcane, melee), still need a primary skills character and 2 wildcards. I am going through the applications in order for the preferred members and if I like it enough offering invites. If there are still issues, or I am just on the fence about it, I am holding back.
There are still slots to be filled so hang in there.

So you'd start him over as i level 1 sorceror? Or start something new? Can I see the build of the PC you are submitting?
What is your second favored class?
The backstory is a acceptable, a fallen noble family and a guard who'd rather be dealing arcane energy than damage.
I want to see what Talon and Wolfgang bring to the table before selecing a skills player, but this is a good application.
** spoiler omitted **
The rest of the changes are fine with me.
I have messages out to Dax, Talon and Raed right now, and Wolfgang still hasn't submitted.
I will give them each till end of day today to respond, then I will move them off the preferred list and open the rest of the slots.
This is Wolfgang's character, everything but the physical description, gear description and gear purchase is complete. Once more I apologize for this very late submission and hope that the character has been worth the wait.
As for the second favored class, that would be Fighter as I might dip 2 levels of either Lorewarden or Rondolero Duelist
I have messages out to Dax, Talon and Raed right now, and Wolfgang still hasn't submitted.
I will give them each till end of day today to respond, then I will move them off the preferred list and open the rest of the slots.
To be clear, do you mean a PM or on this thread?

Yes the profile has been set back to level 1. Here is the the current stats for where he was in RoW. I could always swap him around to play as a different role to meet the needs of the party, but for now was just sticking to the original concept.

Alright gear purchased.
Lars personality wise should face no problems dealing with other party members. Sure he has trust issues, but character development should iron that out in time. I know he's not exactly what one would call an ideal hero, he's basically a Jack Sparrow type of character...minus the ego, but its worth mentioning that he has every reason to be committed to the quest of the campaign, after all the Witches of Irrisen and he's reasoned that since they won't leave him alone, his best chance of staying is taking the fight to them but he can't do that alone, and especially when his ex-captain is after his hide as well. Yes, Lars may not be the most altruistic person in the room, but he's not completely without scruples, he's a greedy, opportunist who has yet to learn what real companionship is, and he may just understand as he goes through the campaign.
In battle Lars will always try to get in melee range, and his class abilities along with feat selections like the dirty trick feats and improved trip will make the life of all characters who enter melee a lot easier. While making the life of his enemies a lot more difficult.
1) What is a quick-draw shield? I can't find any reference for why it costs so much or what is special about it.
2) The shield should make your AC 16 right? +3 for studded, +2 for Dex.
3) Languages - if you take the Varisian ethnicity you get that language for free. Do you want to add another?
If you get these wrinkles done, I likely have a place for you in the game.
Light shield (quickdraw) and heavy shield (quickdraw) are in the Advanced players guide. If you have a bab 1+ you can undo a shield as a swift action instead of a regular one.
1)Here is a link to a description of the quickdraw light shield; its basically a shield that can equipped and unequipped by only using a swift action if you have a +1 BAB, this is further improved by the quick draw feat which makes it require a free action instead.
2)Yes, but I kept it at 15 because I'll equip the shield when the situation calls for it and remove it when I need to do something like stealth.
3)Alright I'll do that. I guess I'll pick Skald as a third language since it makes that he'd pick it up from the time he's spent at Kalsgard.
I am glad you like the character Doc, and I hope I can join the game.

Talon Thief-taker aka Pathetic Wretch:
This looks like a mostly good build we just a few questions.
Responses below...I also updated his character sheet.
1. The languages Undercommon and Drow sign language both point to underground issues, but there's no mention in the backstory as to why a bounty hunter would be speaking these? Care to change, or craft part of th story?
I've changed the languages to some more fitting for the campaign. I initially had a slightly different backstory that involved the underdark, but changed it and forgot to change the languages.
2. Where is he from? Ending up in Heldren chasing a crook, is bad luck, I guess.
Talon is from Cassomir in the empire of Taldor. He has chased his bounty to Heldren, but has reached a cold trail. Out of funds, he is looking for work, and perhaps a reason to keep going at all.
3. You don't have a campaign trait. Adding it is optional, I guess, but it ties you to the story and also give a little boost of awesomeness from time to time. You may still add, if you like, but incorporate in your back-story.
Added the Northern Ancestry campaign trait.
4. No arrows or gear? Equipping after selected is fine.
Purchases made!
I'd say you are in the running to be a finalist. Need a rogue type in every party, and if you brush him up a bit, looks good!
I would love to be seleted...thanks for your consideration and work!
