- Oops, forgot to mention that Redwald is human. Edited.
Cool, edited the list above to reflect that.
Also, for everyone, obviously let me know if I missed you or got anything wrong.
Nah, you're the first one under incomplete!
One edit, Zael is an investigator not a summoner.
Presenting Tarkov, Kellid Lore Warden Fighter. All of my setting information comes from The Numeria, Technic League, Black Sovereign, and Kul-Inkit pages on the Pathfinder wiki, which should be spoiler free - and of course I am willing to adjust anything that could be problematic for the AP.
1) Believes himself to be the Black Sovereign's bastard, though even if true he would be one of dozens. I accidentally picked The Blaclk Sovereign's image for him and decided to run with it :)
2) Hates the Technic League after growing up with a Mother hooked on their addictive ichors.
3) Sold into slavery aged elven, upon his Mother's death, but was fortunate enough to end up being bought by a kindly pedlar.
4) Looks like a hulking brute, but those who get to know him learn he is thoughtful, creative, and kind.
5) Initially wary of technology, but would likely embrace it over the course of the AP.
1) Becoming a master smith means a lot to Tarkov, so I would like him to become the groups weapon and armor creator - via the Master Craftsmen feat, and Craft Magic. If viable organically bringing technology into his crafting would be great.
2) I would like Tarkov to form lasting relationships with other characters since, save for Unrush, he has no real friends or family.
1) Tarkov smothered his Mother after her seeming to be in terrible agony after taking another strange substance produced by the Technic League.
2) He is actually the son of Kragreth-Kol, cousin to The Black Sovereign and Lord of the Black Horse Tribe, his mother having been offered up during her time as one of The Black Sovereign's concubines.
1) Unrush, the elderly Kellid pedlar who bought him, but treated him as a son and travelling companion. The pair have travelled between the Kellid tribes and the cities for years mainly selling city forged steel for pelts and tribal magics. A former gladiator Unrush has passed on his fighting skills to Tarkov, but is now too old to keep travelling and plans to settle in Torch.
2) Krageth-Kol is Tarkov's blood father, and the two bear a striking resemblance. Tarkov has visited the Black Horse Tribe, but never encountered its Lord, so it is possible Krageth-Kol knows of the resemblence, but perhaps unlikely he would care about a son he had with a whore. Tarkov has certainly heard of the resemblance, but believes it to be because thye share the same blood through The Black Soverein.
3) Captain Merisk Kauffan is the Technic League overseer of Chesed, and Tarkov believes him to be responsible for giving his Mother the ichor that led to her death.
1) Listening to his addled Mother talking dreamily about her days in Silver Mount, her talk of luxury and excess, contrasting with the flophouses and hovels they lived in.
2) Learning to work the forge with Unrush, and breaking down into tears when the old man hugged and praised him.
3) Forging his skymetal horse in Torch's famous flame, and having Unrush admire it before telling him he planned to settle in Torch.
Almost done, just a few more things and an appropriate bio.
BTW, anyone can use my idea for a gadget, even if I don't get picked.
Mulling over the special item/ability could Tarkov have been infected by nanites while forging his skymetal item? The metal being having been part of an ancient andriod. Perhaps gaining Nanite Surge, maybe able to use it less frequently than an andriod?
Tarkov, an exact duplicate of nanite surge is probably too much. Maybe make it a standard action instead of immediate. Or maybe it would be cool to let that part of you retain a mind of its own; and for instance activate only when the nanites' interests are at hand, rather than Tarkovs.
Yoricks, thanks for putting the list together!
I like that, I would be more than happy to have it as a DM controlled ability should I get accepted if that works, and it fits the flavour better with the nanites having their own interests.
Please note that the previously posted version of Tarkov was built on a 25 point buy, selected the wrong option on Herolab. This is, hopefully, a correct version :)

2) Learning to work the forge with Unrush, and breaking down into tears when the old man hugged and praised him.
3) Forging his skymetal horse in Torch's famous flame, and having Unrush admire it before telling him he planned to settle in Torch.
Egeth died when Tark was eleven and he was reluctantly taken in by the owner of the flophouse in Chesed they had been staying in. Quickly sold into slavery, an elderly peddler named Unrush purchased him, but luckily his fellow Kellid was looking for more of a companion on his ceaseless travels than a slave.
Unrush treated Tarkov like a son, teaching him to fight and forge, as they travelled from the cities to the roving tribes, primarily selling weapons to their Kellid kin. A fount of knowledge, Unrush had even been a pit fighter in his distant youth, and in their years of travelling he imparted his skills and knowledge to Tarkov.
Unrush has just brought them to Torch Hill, proudly announcing that he had managed to get Tarkov in to use the town's famous flame. When he returned to show the old man the skymetal horse he had forged Unrush announced that he was too old for life on the road and would be settling in town, suggesting Tarkov could make good coin selling his sword.
Now some weeks later with the vanishing of Torch Hill's flame Tarkov is seeking companions to delve into the mystery, and hopefully find his fortune.
Tarkov is a hulking brute of a man with a jutting jaw, dark dense hair, and a heavy brow. His stocky build makes him look slow and ponderous, and he tends to move and speak methodically, making it easy to dismiss his as slow, in both senses; but his bulk is all muscle and when roused Tark acts with decisive swiftness.
With stranger's Tarkov is taciturn, and monosyllabic, but those who get to know him discover a thoughtful man who loves to learn and gives his friendship and loyalty easily.
Yoricks, thanks for putting the list together!
Happy to help!
Okay gang, 12 hours left!

Roughly 6 hours until the deadline. I can hopefully get a party together a few hours after!
What is incomplete on my submission?
Kranolud Wojna | Dwarf Warpriest
BC4Realz, was hoping also for a campaign trait from the player's guide as one of your traits, a reason to be in Torch, and a special item/ability.
Sorry. Real life is being a pain.
Thank you for the opportunity, though. I loved what I came up with, but life won't let me play.

Thanks to all who applied for sharing in this wonderful hobby.
Very tough decision, all of your characters totally captured my imagination. In the end I suppose it came down to who I (subjectively) thought was most creative/unique. I would like to request the following party assemble in the discussion thread:
Jade Essex | Android Barbarian
Krah of Rage | Gnome Bloodrager
Zael | Human Investigator
Tarkov | Human Fighter
Damn, missed that the deadline was this short. Have fun everybody.
Woot! Thanks GM infinity, commiserations and congratulations as appropriate, hope to play with you all in the future :)
Good luck, guys. Have fun!
Thanks for the selection, I will get to work on making a proper alias for Zael to check in on.
Bummer! I thought I had a decent shot. Ah well.
Congrats and happy gaming to those who made the cut. Looks like you folks will be cutting a bloody swathe through Numeria with that party make-up!
Good luck to you all.
There went that.
Good luck.
