I've gone through the first two pages. I'll try to finish up tomorrow. I've added links to those that I have reviewed and have noted if you're missing something. Note that this is in the order I find them, so that's why it's a little scattered at the moment. If you see a note about a link being a placeholder, it means that it didn't look like a complete submission and I was going to finish going through the thread before i posted what you are missing, if anything.
I know some of you sent me a PM with the answers to the GM questions. If you would, make sure that those are in the same place as the rest of your submission. Thanks!
Well, gender reassignment complete. Here's a link to the (very incomplete) profile for Emiliana Vasilescu (Emi for short), the bladed scarf dancer.
I think I'm actually going to withdraw my application because, the more I think about my character concept, the less I feel like he's suited for the tone/theme of this campaign. I could try to come up with something else, I suppose, but I'm not really hit by any inspiration and there are so many applicants already!
Almost done with the questions. I've got the crunch all done though. Snakebite Striker Brawler with VMC Rogue. :D
Wow DM-Salsa, I do not envy you. You have a LOT of submissions with full applications done.
The profile for Jarmezar is here. Sorry for notifying you of the name change when I changed classes. Note that it's still quite a bit away from finished, just mechanics are done. I do have a lot ideas, though I might not be able to hit them down until this weekend.
The reason there's four traits without a drawback on there is because one is "Adopted" which boils down to "You get a race trait from a race besides yours." I just felt Adopted should be on there to spare you the confusion of an aasimar having a human trait without explanation.
Rochiipu is pretty much done. Because I'm crazy, I'm going to try to write a narrative background between now and Monday. I probably won't finish. Regardless, all the things you've asked for are there in her profile for now. Thanks for running this, and good luck to everyone!
Wow, I was gonna submit but that list is a long 'un.
Well, I said tonight would be when I finished going through and seeing who's missing what, but I'm afraid I'm a little too fried for that. It'll be tomorrow night before I finish going through the submissions. I'll be extending the deadline to Tuesday @11:00 PM CDT to compensate.
Alright, GM Q & A added. I had the racial bonus to abilities set on wisdom. That is where the 3 points were, so that's fixed. (I use HeroLab, so I was wondering where the mistake was. With me, as usual.)
In the background bit, I added that Griar's mother is still alive, and lives in Sandpoint.
Hello! Jiqs here with Vicendas Kaamil! Everything is in the profile here.
Is everything resolved on my sheet now, Salsa?
Lettu "Wings" Kan Tengu Rogue (Unchained, Swordmaster) (Needs to add Gm Questions to Profile)
Hi Salsa! What questions am I missing? The personal ones I sent by PM here on the forums, and the others are on the profile... I apologize, am I missing something?
Ok, all my crunch should be finished. I have most of the fluff done in my head, just need to type it all (which is slow going right now). I saw someone else mentioned variant multi-classing... Is that an approved option? I'm not sure if I would take it but I don't have many feats that I'm chomping at the bit for so I might take one- without looking at them, bard might really fit my flavor?
Lettu "Wings" Kan Tengu Rogue (Unchained, Swordmaster) (Needs to add Gm Questions to Profile)Hi Salsa! What questions am I missing? The personal ones I sent by PM here on the forums, and the others are on the profile... I apologize, am I missing something?
I hope this answers your question:
I know some of you sent me a PM with the answers to the GM questions. If you would, make sure that those are in the same place as the rest of your submission. Thanks!
@Yan: PLEASE let the GM answer, after he checks my profile and PMs. Thanks.
I had posted that after I'd received those PMs. If it's that big of a deal, you may omit the first question, but I think I've made it clear that your submission is not complete with out the questions from the GM being in the same place.
I understand. I'm withdrawing my submission.
Going with the Aether Kineticist. They make decent skill monkeys and can throw innocuous items with ridiculous force. It's a pretty good fit with Tshilaba's character concept and I've always wanted to try it. He will be able to hit up a variety of roles, from face to skill monkey to debuffer and possibly a bit of a tank in combat. I think it should suit me fine, and remain true to the unique flavor of the character.
Okay. Character profile should be completed. Everything is within the alias.
This is the Silan to be reviewed.

--------------------
Silan is an incorrigable rogue, short of stature, red, and large of life, always with a playful smirk. From the days of his younger years, to now, he has always been one to seek adventure and fun whever he goes. His fey ancestry runs deeply in his blood, and he is a grand lover of jokes, pranks, and tall tales. He is a prankster with a heart of gold, and always one to play song on his trusty, battered lute for any who wish to listen. He would go to Ameiko's tavern often and play for food and drink. He would illicit happiness in those around him, and bring an atmosphere of joy, and mirth. He cares little of his past, only for this town that raised him, even as his heart begins to tug him away.
He remembers little from his past, and it does not concern him too much. He knows his parents were refugees from the Tien continent, and that they abandoned him in Sandpoint as they passed through. Sandpoint to him, has been a home. Full of family, he considers any of the goodly townsfolk to be his brothers and sisters, as they all, in one way or another, helped to raise him. Koya tried raising him, but his wild nature always found him away from her home, seeking adventure and fun. It was not uncommon for him to find himself sleeping in a barn or shed. Over the years, Sandpoint helped to raise him, and many turned a blind eye to their 'stray fox' sleeping in the shed or barn, offering hand me downs to help him out through the seasons and little gifts on his self appointed birthday. This has given him a very strange look, and has helped make him look much smaller than he otherwise would be due to the overly large clothes, cinched down with belts and ropes.
During the time of the 'Heros of Sandpoint', the area became very dangerous. In one such instance, the town was attacked by Giants from the mountains, bidden by the call of an unknown master. At this time he was wandering the outskirts when the giants fell upon him. Frozen in terror, he watched helplessly as they bore down , massive weapons ready to crush him into nothing. Shelalu came then, seemingly out of nowhere, and snatched him from his gorey fate, felling one of the giants, and pulling him to safety. Since that day he has been devoted to the mysterious elf. Always helping her on her annual visits to town, and constantly pestering her if he could follow her one day. He dedicated his time to learning to fight with the daggers he could find arround town. This actually being an ecletic assortment of dagger like objects, as no one in their right mind would give a young kitsune stray actual weaponry.
He practiced though, and he talked with adventurers, asking for help in learning the ways of fighting, and dungeon exploration. He listened, enraptured, to the tales told him at the Rusty Dragon. As time went on, he became adept at picking locks, and hiding items on his person. He learned to react to situations quickly, and to turn conversations towards his own ends. He never became malicious, and he remained true to himself and the people of his town. One adventurer gifted him a holy text on one occasion, and he took to reading it, finding that this Empyreal Lord, Picoperi, shared his own ideas on life, and having fun. While not entirely devout, he found some kind of comfort in knowing that even the gods can have fun.
As time marched on, he dreamed of what the outside world was like. What was his ancient homeland like? Where did he come from? What was out in the world? While he loves Sandpoint, his heart is pulling him away, ever hungry for adventure, companionship, and a true tale of heroism.
1. What emotion best describes your character? Cheerful
2. What emotion does your character evoke in others? Mirth
3. What does your character need most? Adventure, he needs adventure. He has long heard stories and wants to finally live one.
4. What is your character’s goal in life? To see his homelands
If your character were lying on the brink of death, what makes him or her cling to life? His joy of seeing what the next day holds. What does the horizon hold?
5. How does your character believe this goal can be accomplished? He knows the only way to see his homeland is to travel there. He knows he comes from a Kitsune community, and that is all. He must travel to Tian Xia to find his home.
Background
6. Where did your character come from? Dropped in Sandpoint by unloving parents fleeing over the Crown of the World from somewhere in Tian Xia before he could really remember them, he has grown up in Sandpoint.
7. When did you grow up? Silan has never truly grown up. His idea of an adventure took hold of him though when Shalelu rescued him, and he has been striving to prove that he is an able adventurer.
8. What values does your character hold? He holds the idea that there is good in all, that each new day brings a new adventure, and that everyone deserves a second chance.
9. How does your character dress? Silan dresses like a well groomed beggar. His clothes fit loosely, made up of hand me downs of various worn colors. Cloth bracers keep toom much clothing from interfering with his hands, and his ill fitting boots are cinched down with leather straps. He keeps daggers all over his body, and his lute strapped to his back, or too his worn but well crafted back pack. This backpack is important to him as a passing adventurer gave it to him, to help him achieve his dream.
10. What are your character’s means? Silan is by no means a beggar. You will not see him on the street begging for coin. He gets by with his music. He performs during festivals for donations, and he will perform at the local inns for room and food often times. The inkeepers knowing good performances bring customers. He chooses his free life for himself.
Details
11. What are your character’s personal tastes? He enjoys the smell of cooking onions, the smell and taste of cinnamon powder, and the taste of sweets.
12. What are your character’s opinions? The religious close themselves off from some joys in life, the rich think too much of status to truly have fun, and the poor look down too much to enjoy the suns rise and setting.
13. What is your character’s comfort zone? Silan finds his comfort in dependable companions. Quick to trust, he would prefer to put his back to an ally than a wall, and will usually do all he can to stay by that friends side.
14. Who has had the biggest impact on your character’s life? He admires Shelalu as someone he would like to try and emulate. More than anything he would like to go on an adventure with her, seeing her as a big sister more than anything, he is confident his constant pestering has not won him anything from her, but he hopes to prove himself.
15. What are some of your character’s unexpected quirks? Silan cannot swim. He never tried to learn. Living by the sea and on the bank of a river, one would assume swimming goes hand in hand, but hes decisively afraid of the water. For his strengths, he is very clever, and can speak with the elves in either of their own languages. Further he is very good at getting into places he is not supposed to be.
Player
16. What kind of story does your character belong in? Silan fits into an adventure with travel and the meeting of new people and places.
17. What role does your character fill? He is the party jester and quick fingers. He is good with traps, diplomacy, bluffing, and perception. He is a traditional rogue and face. Always quick with a word, or if needed, a blade.
18. What should the other players know about your character? He is mirthful, and a prankster, but he is always loyal. Everything he does is to bring some joy to his victim.
19. What is your play style? My play style is dependent on my character. I am very careful to make sure that interactions are done based on the character there. I immerse myself in them, and enjoy the world through them.
20. How do you want your character to die? I would want Silan to die helping to save a companion, or offering himself in place of another. If he can get a joke in at the end, or aggravate the killer, that would let him die with a smile
I am great! Thanks for asking! I am Zach, a 27 year old Information Technology Systems Management developer and consultant working with Fortune 500 companies on their IT management infrastructure, and I live happily with my wife.
How often do you tend to post?
I tend to post once or twice during the day, in the morning and evening, or afternoon. I tend to drop off on the weekend, but I usually at least keep up during that time frame.
What kind of tone are you looking for in this game?
I am looking for a traveling adventure where we go to places not really touched in the Paizo AP's or Modules. I do not have a tone in mind, but I think the group will adequately set the tone.
What do you expect out of your fellow players?
Cooperation more than anything. I am fine with people as long as they are willing to communicate and cooperate with the rest of the party.
What do you expect out of me (the GM)?
I hope you are comfortable with the PBP format, and are quick to BOT individuals who may not be able to make it as often as needed, or to remove players who stray from the game without notice.
What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms?
I have a fairly wide comfort zone. I am fine with incharacter romances, and sometimes betrayals if it is fitting with the the story and tone of what is going on. I am also fine with PVP. In the world sometimes players come into conflict, and sometimes a little fisticuffs happens, if this is done in a mature and proper manner. Romance is fine, but too often I come across the Calistrian Sex Doll Trope, which I find grating at the least, and overtly offensive at the worse.
How do you see your character progressing as a character?
I do not really know, that's what I enjoy the most about AP's. Things happen to the characters and I find it the most fun in the characters development of these experiences. No two characters will react in the same way to a situation. As such I feel envisioning my character developing into a certain thing, is putting too much emphasis on changing those reactions to fit that box. I enjoy the adventure, and seeing where it leads my character.
I think my question about variant multiclassing got missed but I found where it was addressed in the thread. I think I'm going to give Emiliana VMC sorcerer- I know it eats up a ton of feats but it just ties in so beautifully with her archetype.

And done. Sorry to both Sovliss, who I completely missed, and Nate, whose question I completely missed.
I'm now caught up and should have everyone's profiles/submissions linked. If I got the link wrong, or if I missed your submission, holler at me and I'll fixed it. Check the notes next to your submission to see if you are missing anything, or if I need some clarification.
Also, for those of you who want to polish your characters some, or are having trouble coming up with something, you can ask me or hop on the Jade Regent forum under the Adventure path boards and ask for some help. Note that if I help, it's no guarantee you'll get picked. I'm just trying to be helpful and I don't like seeing people drop because they can't seem to get that spark.
Added answers to GM questions to Alias.
I'll add a few more bits that specifically answer questions asked about background

Official Application Post
-Who are you and how are you doing?
I'm Nate, a long time gamer (like 25 years), and I play in and run a couple games on the boards here. I had surgery a month ago and am still recovering, but otherwise I'm doing well.
-How often do you tend to post?
I usually check my games multiple times each day and try to post 1/day if the game/group supports that. (I try to keep my post rate similar to that of the GM and rest of the party).
-What kind of tone are you looking for in this game?
Truthfully, I'm cool with just about any tone as long as the party works well together and RPs together. This is the first time I'm even pitching a female character and I'm honestly pretty excited to try RPing it, so any flavor is cool with me.
-What do you expect out of your fellow players?
To be engaged with their character and with the story we're trying to tell together.
-What do you expect out of me (the GM)?
Basically the same answer as the previous question... plus, maybe for you to lead by example with things like posting rate and respecting each other...
-What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms?
I prefer to avoid any graphic storytelling that involves rape or incest and I don't really like PvP stuff.
-How do you see your character progressing as a character?
I have no idea, which is kind of nice. She's free to develop however the road leads. She's naïve about adventuring, which I assume she'll probably grow out of at some point. Right now her goals are fairly immature, it'll be interesting to see if/how they change over time.
That should complete all the required elements. Depending on what time last night you reviewed my character, my fluff may have been updated. I tried to keep my background short because you have so many applicants but it's still a few paragraphs (sorry). I answered a lot of the optional questions in it, but there were a lot of hooks and useful bits of personal info that didn't get included, so I'm posting answers to the questions not addressed (or not fully addressed) in my background. This is in addition to what my background says so I didn't replicate info that's there (for example- in the question about friends/family I didn't mention Ameiko or the cousins I went north with).
How old is your character?
- 20 (born late 4690)
What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)?
- she has a little bit of an accent (mostly affecting W's and V's)
Where was your character born?
- a Varisian caravan camp outside of Galduria
Who are your parents?
- Arturo and Alika Vasilescu
Are they alive?
- yes
What do they do for a living?
- Alika spins, knits, and weaves; Arturo sells her goods and is a reasonably successful gambler
Do you have any other family or friends?
- 3 teenage brothers and a 10 year old sister; Ionatali (the middle boy) has several Sczarni friends and the family is worried he's headed for trouble... Zelda (little sister) seems to have a gift for the Harrow.
What is your character’s marital status?
- decidedly single
Kids?
- no
What is your character’s moral code?
- do good, as best you can
Does your character have goals?
- generally: to see new places and do new things, and to amass things she likes. specifically right now: to have a proper adventure like the ones in Ameiko's stories
Is your character religious?
-she's fairly religious, maybe in more of a folk religion/superstitious manner than someone dedicated to an institutional church
What are your character’s personal beliefs?
- each god has their own stuff they do; each one should get their prayers and sacrifices when you need something they do. She's a practicing Desnan who also keeps many of Shelyn and Arshea's observances as well, but she'll pray to any God who can help when there's a need.
How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
- naievely... without any adventuring experience she's really not sure how she'll fit in any party (but she's sure it'll be new and exciting, and that she'll be good at it).
Is there anything that your character hates?
- wasps, and hornets
Is there anything that your character fears?
- getting stuck somewhere... Whether as a prisoner in a cell or a famous dancer that can't leave a king's court, she fears getting trapped in one place to wilt away and wait for death.
Hey DM-S
Have updated Jerukh. As previously mentioned I've ditched Rage Chemist in favour of Chirurgeon.
Just need to pick gear and fill in according combat info.
With regards your traits query Salsa - nah you probably saw 6. Was putting placeholder traits in there to help narrow down the picks. He now just has the 5 (3 starting +2 from additional traits).
My background Q&A was in my profile, but got eaten for some bizarre reason will get them back in there.
@Soliana: Yeah, musta had a brainfart last night. Sorry.
@Jerukh: Okay, so you're using the questions to present your fluff. Is that right? I hadn't thought about someone doing that, but as long as it's all there, I'll consider it complete.

In enters an exhausted-looking dwarf with a small stack of character sheets in his hands.
"DM Salsa," huffed TheWaskally, "I hereby submit for you approval in the Jade Regent play-by-post game, Velo Mvashti, an aasimar monk, an experienced caravan worker and defender of the downtrodden."
The dwarf leaves his submission on DM Salsa's desk, and walks out of the room.
Just as he is about to leave TheWaskally looks back and remarks, "Oh! I am more than willing to alter Velo's backstory to mesh with other characters who also took the Foster Child campaign trait. Just saying."
And with that, the dwarf leaves, grumbling to himself under his breath. I feel like I just applied for a bank loan. So many questions!!

Atalante had always been a rather unusual child. Sandpoint wasn’t what you would call an extremely large town, but nevertheless, girls her age often found other ways to amuse themselves than roaming the outskirts of town with a sword in hard. Granted, most girls in general, didn’t have a giant mantis for a pet, which certainly made Atalante unique.
Atalante had always had an appreciation for nature, but as a young child, never really had much of an opportunity to really roam outside of town – quite clearly, it just wasn’t safe. So instead of running through forests and swimming in rivers, Atalante spent much of her time indoors, and as a result, ended up forming a stronger connection with some of the creatures commonly seen in urban area’s – insects.
At first, this ability caused Atalante no end of trouble, with the constant teasing that went with it. It was unnatural to see a young girl calmly have a spider do tricks, and as a result, Atalante was initially shunned. Despite this, Atalante persevered, and eventually won grudging admiration for her ability, when she ensured that the local tavern never had a cockroach problem.
Atalante worked harder at honing her abilities, and one day her father gifted her a tiny creature for her birthday, a praying mantis Atalante named Vernai, in honour of the feared red mantis assassins. Unfortunately, soon after Atalante lost both her parents to a tragic illness, leaving her with Vernai as one of the few things to truly remember them by.
The loss of her parents influenced Atalante in a number of ways. Firstly, and most crucially, she grew a little more withdrawn, and became a little more socially awkward. She began to spend more time with Vernai and her insects, than with people, and as a result struggled to hold conversations. Some casual friendships with some of the townspeople, such as Ameiko, got more difficult to hold due to Atalante’s self-imposed isolation, and as a result, some of these relationships began to suffer. She still cared for the small town, and so Atalante did not decide to leave outright, but she began to spend more and more time on the outskirts, acting as a mobile scout – someone intent on protecting the town from some of the more minor threats or annoyances that it faced.
Atalante is a dark haired slender human female, with bronzed skin that comes from spending far too much time out in the sunlight. She usually sticks to clothing of green or brown, something durable and practical rather than something typically high in fashion at the time. She stands at average height, with emerald green eyes, with a face that usually wears a frown. She’s a little taller than her companion, Vernai, although the dark green Mantis is growing quickly, so that might be subject to change in the future.
Atalante is very outgoing, and frequently enjoys the experience of roaming around, something that she feels fits her more and more often with how large Vernai is growing, and how unwelcome he is within urban areas. Despite this, at the moment she cannot really tear herself away from Sandpoint, but still lives fairly isolated and self-sufficient on the outskirts of town. She’s a little awkward and shy in social situations, due to not really having to hold many conversations when she is out in the wilds. She sees herself very much as a ‘protector’ or defender, trying to do her best to help others whenever possible, a trait that has probably shown herself in an attempt to justify her creeper powers over vermin.
-Who are you and how are you doing?
Usually people buy me a drink first before asking me this :)
I’m fine though, thanks for asking!
-How often do you tend to post?
Fairly regularly, but I tend to post quicker the faster the game moves.
-What kind of tone are you looking for in this game?
Ultimately, whatever style or tone you as GM would prefer, I’m pretty flexible. From the players guide, it appears that this might be a long journey so maybe a cautiously optimistic tone? IDK, I’m terrible at answering this sort of question :( I heard Jade Regent is pretty role play heavy which sounds pretty awesome so maybe a tone that reflects this would be pretty cool!
-What do you expect out of your fellow players?
Activity. Pbp often die due to lack of activity, and low activity games are such a drag to stick with. The enjoyment goes out of it, but you don’t want to leave..ugh. Outside of this, ideally a party that has good relationships or interactions? Something like the RotRL game I’m in, where characters can hold a conversation with each other, although sometimes that depends on the situation that players are in. Basically bottom line is people that are enjoyable to play with.
-What do you expect out of me (the GM)?
Activity. I don’t really expect much though from a GM because I know GMing things can be a pretty tough ask juggling lots of things arounds so I usually just adjust. Still, a GM that provides detail or rp opportunities is pretty cool, and makes posting in depth posts a heck of a lot easier
-What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms?
-How do you see your character progressing as a character?
Well, the AP indicates it’s a bit of a journey, so I think close proximity to a few characters with do her good, and might make her more adapt in social situations, or at least not awkward. I think she is at an interesting point in her life right now in that its probably practical for her to leave, but she doesn’t really have a strong desire or reason to leave Sandpoint at this point in time, in the absence of a proper goal or direction. That said, I usually try and keep character progression flexible, because frequently role play can honestly take your character places that you never really saw her going.

Background
At 26 years old, Knut is a long way from home. An Ulfen by birth but a Tian by upbringing, Knut had often remarked at the strange vicissitudes of his life.
He never knew the name of his parents. They died when their caravan was attacked attempting to make the crossing into the other side of the world.
Knut was saved by his master, an exiled Tian monk by the name of Guan. Together, they were an unlikely pair of master and apprentice.
They made many travels during which time Guan also taught Knut his own mother tongue and his own unique style of fighting.
They made numerous visits to Sandpoint where the young Knut met Ameiko. Knut was often punished by his master for failing to do much practice, as he skipped out to play with Ameiko and other children.
Guan then decided that Ameiko had a bad effect on his apprentice’s path to perfection. Thus, the gaps between visits to Sandpoint became longer.
A year ago, Guan allowed Knut to go on a warrior’s pilgrimage. Honored by such privilege, Knut took his master’s name and referred to himself as Knut Guansson in his subsequent dealings.
Knut returned to Sandpoint to renew contact with old friends.
Appearance and Personality
Knut is a blonde, blue-eyed, six-feet tall, well-muscled male of Ulfen descent. His monk’s robes barely cover his physique.
He is shy and is often unable to express himself well, especially with the opposite sex.
However, like his master, he too believes that the universe provides and is therefore a skilled gambler.
GM questions
-Who are you and how are you doing? Rodello, lawyer, doing great, gming 3 PBPs (40K inspired) and a player 2 now.
-How often do you tend to post? I post daily sometimes more than once a day; I also update my games as often as I can. But I do the updating at around 9PM where I live which is the Philippines.
-What kind of tone are you looking for in this game? I am hoping to have fun and see my character, Knut Guansson, get a chance to grow and interact with the other players.
-What do you expect out of your fellow players? I expect them to post as often as they can and not to be a dick.
-What do you expect out of me (the GM)? Clear communication and expectation.
-What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms? Considering that we may have kids playing with us lets try to keep the R-rated stuff sub rosa.
-How do you see your character progressing as a character? I hope to see him pursue his goal of getting to know Ameiko more and to progress to on his path to perfection. These goals may force him to choose one over the other.
