“The boat leaves in ten minutes!” shouts a burly sailor. “Last run to Torch for the day!”
You want to be on that boat, this is your chance to get a jump on other adventuring crews that are vying for the rewards for solving the mystery of the flame going out. A large amount of gold pieces are on offer to the group who can rekindle the flames atop Black Hill!
All day you have been hearing rumors and outrageous claims of the catastrophe in Torch. “The Technique League put out the fire so they could destroy torches economy.” “The flame got so violent that it wiped Torch of the face of Numeria.” Finally, a barge with a cryer arrived in Hajoth Hakados, with genuine news, “The flame has gone out and there is a huge reward for whoever can fix it!”
This will be my first play by post as a GM. I’m newish to play by post. I am currently a player in a PBP, to see an example of my playing(Vitreous “Darling" Drimplegatto). I have recently finished running an in person Rise of the Runelords (we will start Iron Gods soon) and will be GMing this concurrently with that group. Shared prep will help keep me on task.
Posting should be once a day. Once general gameplay gets started, I’d like to keep it to no more than 3 posts a day. Too much more can be overwhelming and confusing. I am PST and will usually post mid morning. We’ll talk about other posting stuff in the discussion thread once we get going.
Characters:
I‘m tired of the min/max mindset that is so pervasive in regular play; so for the people that are selected, good characterization will be more important. With that said, I don’t want a massive backstory, a paragraph is good. It should include a reason for being in Numeria and what motivates your character. Along with your character info please respond in character to the above prompt.
I am looking for 4-5 players total. 2 slots are reserved for now. One of these slots thinks they will be a gunslinger.
Build rules:
Paizo only materials (if I don’t have the book, be prepared to get me the info. link to Archives of Nethys for example )
Races are fairly open (explain in your application how unusual races will work in town and in general with "good" and "lawful" townfolk)
Alignment - no chaotic neutral, evil is an option though. (You need to explain how that will work. You can PM me about it if you’d rather keep it secret from the group.)
Advanced class guide is ok.
15 point buy
Max Hp first level, ½ HP on additional
2 traits from the regular sources
A bonus campaign trait from the players guide or People of the Rivers version of it.
Average starting gold
Crafting feats will be allowed (I can’t guarantee time for crafting, haven’t read it yet.)
Leadership (discuss with GM around lvl 7) and menagerie characters will be ok.
And finally, I will close applications on August 12th and make formal roster announcement on August 14th, the official release date of the AP!
Interested writing up a melee martial class not sure exactly waht yet though.
Am I mistaken or is the Player's Guide not actually out yet?

no its not but the campaign traits are in "People of the River"
dotting to have a character up later.
dotting for later.
*Waves* (^_^)
Hoping the read for the character is at least entertaining. :)
Fun!
I'll come up with a character concept and post it soon.
.
I present to you the concept of Jack Homini.
His information can be found in the profile that I made this post with.
-OnelungBL
A cut and paste of the profile for ease of assessment:
Tower Shield Specialist [Fighter]: 1
Raised among a family of renowned Taldoran arcanists, Jack showed no special talent, or even any innate ability, to harness magical energies.
Late in his youth, he managed to briefly grasp the concept of what magic 'is', but still lacked the power to maintain it or control it. His family disgraced, they *encouraged* him to leave his hometown and seek his fortunes elsewhere.
Taking what little entitlements he was given, he has found himself a niche as a decent caravan guard. It's a harder life than he was used to, but he makes it work for him.
Jack likes to think of himself as a decent person, who takes the training of someone who should have become a great mage and instead has to live a life of the common person. His interest will always be in magic and what it can do, but he has accepted that he is not capable of mastering it.
Name: Jack Homini
Human, Male, Aged 28, 6 feet tall, 220 pounds, black hair and blue eyes.
Deity: Brigh [A background in knowledge as important]
Languages: Common, Dwarven
I'd like to throw my hat into the ring with Raven Usta.
Raven is an inquisitive Alchemist with a strong desire and some extremely personal reasons to investigate the mysteries of Numeria.
I don't have access to any of the campaign traits... If anyone could help me out, that would be lovely. ^^
************
Raven comes forward when she hears the cryer's news, her face expressionless.
"That will be acceptable," she tells the man as she starts up the gangplank. "I am willing to investigate. This situation clearly calls for a scholarly evaluation."
Also dotting, also have no campaign trait access.
My character would be an archon-blooded aasimar either a paladin or cleric, hoping to bring some civilizing influence to the people or Numeria, and sees the opportunity to help ignite the flame in Torch as a starting point for reaching the country as a whole. He's the kind of guy who sees law as fundamentally essential to the well-being of people and countries like Numeria where there is much disorder about just gets under his skin.
DM, for player selection are you dividing things into categories? like one melee, one range, one arcane, etc?
And if so that player going gunslinger fits what category for you?
I'm interested in this, GM Viskous. Can you give us a list of books you have? I'd rather work with the sources you have, than have to provide links.
Crunch for my submission, working on the fluff.

Some commentary:
I'll get something with campaign traits up soon. I was hoping Archives of Nethys had added People of the River, they haven't.
Party makeup, I'm not concerned as much with strictly defined rolls - but a healer and a melee are mandatory. The other three slots can be anything really. I'd highly recommend an arcane caster and for this adventure a gunslinger will have a lot of opportunity for item drops. Once the 5 are finalized they may want to slightly adjust there character/concept to make themselves stronger as a party.
Books... I have all the core books, I will have Advanced Class Guide the moment I can download the pdf. Too many to list really, but I have a good number of the player companion books and access to most if not all within a day or so. I only have a few of the campaign setting line, so those are where we'd need to link things.
Looking good Jack and Raven. I'm happy to see an android application. My home group of five only made 1 interesting race choice(catfolk).
Against the Technic League: For whatever reason, you have a grudge against the Technic League. No matter the root cause, you’re convinced that the League is somehow responsible for the troubles facing Torch today. Choose either weapons or spells. If you choose weapons, you gain a +2 trait bonus on all damage rolls made against targets you know are associated with the Technic League. If you choose spells, increase the save DC of your spells by 1 when you target such a foe.
Local Ties: You have ties to a prominent local in the town of Torch: the missing wizard, Khonnir Baine. He may have been your tutor, or a friend or business associate of your family. He may even have been your adoptive father, in which case you likely have a bond of friendship or rivalry with his adopted daughter Val. Your association with Khonnir has given you insight into how technology works. Choose Disable Device or Knowledge (engineering). You gain a +1 trait bonus on checks with this skill, and it is a class skill for you. In addition, you are treated as if you possessed the Technologist feat for the purposes of resolving checks associated with that skill. If you gain the Technologist feat, your trait bonus for the selected skill increases to +3.
Numerian Archaeologist: You’ve studied Numeria’s eerie technological ruins extensively. You gain Androffan as an additional language. In addition, you possess a
knack for technological items; when you use a timeworn technological item, roll twice when determining any glitches the item might cause and choose which result
to use as your actual result. Talk to your GM for more information about resolving glitches.
Robot Slayer: The strange steel automatons that plague the wilds of Numeria are a blight upon the world! You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls against robots and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by robots.
Skymetal Smith: You’ve long hoped to work with skymetal, and begin the game with a small metal bauble made of the skymetal of your choice—you made this item yourself. The item is nothing more than a valuable art object worth 100 gp. You can sell it to gain an additional 100 gp when creating your character, but if you keep it, your pride in its crafting grants you a +2 trait bonus on Will saving throws made against emotion and fear effects. You lose this bonus if you willingly sell or give up the item, but if it is destroyed or lost through no fault of your own, you retain a +1 trait bonus on such Will saves.
Stargazer: You hope to learn all you can about the strange creatures lurking in Numeria’s dungeons. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Knowledge checks to identify alien monsters’ abilities and weaknesses. In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (geography) checks, and this skill is a class skill for you. You are treated as if you possessed the Technologist feat for the purposes of resolving checks to identify an alien creature using a Knowledge skill and for all Knowledge (geography) checks. If you already possess the Technologist feat, then your trait bonus on Knowledge (geography) checks increases to +3.
Are you okay with 3rd party races?
The main reason I ask is because I want to be a wizard, but as part of my backstory, I want to have been raised as someone's pet as the character was abondoned, parents were killed or some other reason. A lot of non-3rd party stuff doesn't fit for various reasons. Tengu would have a hard time being good aligned as pets, catfolk doesn't make much sense being a wizard and so on.
But I do see some 3rd party races that could make it as a good aligned pet and would make sense as a wizard.
This is KakkarottoZ. Character is in progress.
Hey there! I just wanted to express interest in joining up. I see you already have an android submission, but I will go ahead and put my own in here as well. I am also considering an Arcanist, so I will put that up when I have finished in case you don't want two androids.
Frequently, Locke has found himself drawn in time and again to the ruins scattered across the Numerian landscape and has become familiar with the inexplicable technology found in such places.

Locke Tresslar hefted his pack and made his way towards the burly sailor. His eyes moved steadily across the scene drawing in everything he saw and storing it away in the endless vault of his mind.
"Pleasant day," Locke says in what he hopes is a pleasant tone. "Here is my ticket for the passage to Torch."
The sailor grunts and checks the stub. Eyeing Locke oddly, he jabs a thumb over his shoulder towards the gangplank. That must not have been exactly right. Hmmm. Locke thinks to himself. Or else the man doesn't approve of pleasant banter at this mysterious event.
Once again, Locke feels the impulse within him to begin sorting the information he knew so far of the fire going out, but he suppressed it. There was nothing more to be learned as of yet and dwelling on it would have deleterious effects on his mannerisms if someone was to approach him for conversation or otherwise.
Letting out a puff of breath, Locke dismisses everything but the focus to appear humanoid. He gives the sailor a brief smile and nod of his head, and then heads up the gangplank for the voyage to the next great mystery.
The tanned lass wanders confidently through the crowd, smiling and nodding at those she passes/bumps into.
Upon approaching the fellow at the bottom of the gang-plank reviewing those who wish to board, she pats around on her person before drawing forth a small square of something.
"Tick-ETTE!" She presents the item proudly. (^_^) Before pointing between the small square of paper and herself.
"Scare-lette! Multi-pass!" She enunciates loudly, carefully and brightly. (^_^)
DoubleGold - I'd rather not deal with 3rd party materials.
Multiple androids are ok. Also with androids, they aren't particularly rare in Numeria, especially in Hajoth Hakados. A lot of the locals will recognize you as such. The androids, as a group, are usually somewhat reclusive. The Technic League attempts to kidnap them whenever they can for experimentation(usually ends in death). In Hajoth, the League is not really welcome and are barely tolerated in town.
Hey Sunny! Nice multipass!
On campaign traits, somebody should take local ties. There is a lot of great RP potential there!
(^_^)
Again, much cheers to all.
Dotting for interest. Thinking about the possibility of sending in a Dwarven Metal Elementalist Wizard, taking the Skymetal Smith trait. He will definitely be a crafter.
Tosom checked his belt for his gear and made sure everything was secure before stepping foward. "I will do what I can to help but I must see if my father survived."
Arcanist info:
The "trip" has been ongoing for many years, yet seems to have stalled with Rengovay as a semi-permanent fixture at the wizard's laboratory as Rengovay has been learning from (he would say collaborating with) Khonnir Baine and his students. Rengovay seems to have little regard for safety as long as he can push the boundaries of magic. He's determined to return home so versed in magical theory and full of arcane power that his family will be proud and be able to acknowledge that he has in fact proven his blood runs mystical after all.

Hot weather outfit +2 Fort vs. Hot Weather (does not stack with Survival skill's bonuses)

Volatile Conduit (1/day) Elemental spell deals an additional 1d4 damage.
Coincidentally, I was typing this all up when you posted, illustrious GM, and I already had Local Ties in mind. As stated this is a secondary in case the previous entry has too much overlap as two androids both with alchemy (Alchemist v. Investigator) might not be diverse enough. That being said, I would be happy to run either character.
At the call of the sailor, Rengovay looked around anxiously for his sister Arganna in the crowd on the docks. She had promised to see him off before she readied for her journey back to the family estates. To the people around him, the young man seemed to be constantly in motion. If he wasn't hopping from one foot to the other, he was smoothing back his hair, licking his lips or tapping his fingers on the basic wizard's staff he carried.
Ah! There she is! Rengovay thought. Waving an excited hand, he motioned to Arganna who waved back with a big smile. They hugged and Rengovay began to run away at the mouth as usual, telling Arganna all about the different theories he had about the fire going out at Torch. Arganna's cool head prevailed and she quickly got Rengovay back on track to actually boarding the ship. They had a single quiet moment as Rengovay hugged his sister close knowing that this would be the first time they had ever been apart since he had been born.
As he stood on the deck he waved vigorously to Arganna on the docks. I will make her proud, he told himself. Her, father, mother, and our brothers. They will never have reason to be ashamed of me. I will learn everything about magic!
I will happily take Numerian archaeologist for my character. ^^ It fits her well, and she'd probably have studied up on every book she could find on the subject of Numeria before she went back there.

Silvia Hispasus
Female Ghoran Cleric of Dalenydra 1
Sylvia entered the boatyard, adjusting her red and white tabbard. She hoped that a peaceful resolution to the problems plaguing the village could be reached. She had made a vow to Dalenydra and had been blessed in return for that vow.
If peace could not be reached, she would need staunch allies, ones she could aid in the struggle against enemies unknown. Her vow kept her from shedding blood, but not from helping those whom had no such burden.
And if those machines were involved... her vow did not include the unliving monsters. They did not shed blood, only alchemical fluids.

When he was fouteen, his father was killed by members of the Technic League, when he defied their orders, and Korm has sowrn revenge. His mother has recently moved moved back to Nirmathas deciding she would rather face the racism of the locals than the oppression of the league. She tried to convince Korm to accompany her, but he refused having sworn to avenge his father's death. He has moved into town where he will more easily get word of the league's movements.

I still remember the day.
That beautiful, terrible, wonderful, tear-jerking day.
Every detail is clear to me even now. The beige walls of my bedroom, the scattered technological gear, the massive, homemade computer on my desk that operated faster than any gaming pro's, the pizza boxes strewn across my shag carpet. The sounds of Brad and Kenny bickering downstairs-most likely their morning routine bickering and &!7$jng about the sides of their room... and oh, yes, ohhhhh yes, that heavenly smell of pancakes! Due to my late night partying, I was barely coherent enough to open my eyes, but the seductive smell wafted into my nostrils, tugging me downstairs.
After lumbering downstairs-nearly falling two times (thank all of the gods everywhere that the wooden stairs had rails)-I sagged into my beat up, badly-needing-reupholtering stuffed chair, groaning. “Fooooood,” I moaned, looking miserable.
Mom looked down at me, exasperated. “I'm guessing you were partying again, judging by the rings under your eyes. Thank the gods your responsible enough to know not to do drugs or drink alchohol, Analise. Anyways, I made pancakes.”
I nodded in gratitude, and I wolfed down a massive stack of the things in 49.12 seconds. I staggered up from the chair and tumbled my way over to the threadbare couch, letting my brain cells atrophy by staring at the TV for a while. After enough express to kill a person of lesser coffee-swilling skills, my tired brain finally remembered it was Launch Day. I burst out of the couch and ran up the stairs with a sound that would've been described in Saturday-morning cartoons as binka-binka-binka.
Bursting through my room door-nearly slipping on three pizza boxes, accidentally spying my portly physique in the mirror that I keep putting off taking down, and crash into my bed, snagging the Riftgear laying on my charred desk, and pulled the bulky helmet on. I had arrived 61.85 seconds before the game went online.
The time slowly went down. As soon as the amazingly accurate clock in my head hit 3, I began the startup process. “3...2...1...SNAP!”
All was nothing for a moment, then white flashed into existence and streams of color raced by. Suddenly, a horrible wrenching began in my gut, and all was nothing again.
That was when I left Earth.
The first thing I felt was pain. And when I say pain, I mean horrible, unrelenting agony that would normally accompany being riddled with bullets, blown up by dynamite thirteen times, and being run through with a sword all at once. Thirty four times in a row. With nerves running at ten times capacity and sensitivity. I will neither confirm nor deny I screamed like a little girl during that time. After what seemed like untold aeons, the pain finally faded away, and I was able to open my eyes. The first thing I noticed that there was no HUD. No health bar, no mana meter, no quickbar... nothing. The second thing I noticed was that I was in a burning laboratory, with men shouting in a strange language, running around, and generally panicking. In a moment of absurdity, I thought Wow. These guys have obviously never read the Hitchhiker's Guide. There was wrecked equipment everywhere-reminescent of my room, actually-and what appeared to have once been sterile white walls were now charred black and grey. A big, strong man picked me up and rushed me out of the lab, out into a hallway. We took quite a dizzying array of twists, turns, and loops that I'm not able to remember what exactly the hallway looked like.
The Hulk-I'm calling him that, since he was that massive-rushed me into a lab, one that wasn't burninating. A harried-looking, greying man in a coat stood their, then attached a strange device to my head. “Can you understand me?”
I nodded dumbly.
“You are part of an experiment to abduct sentients from other planes to learn about their cultures, and add the information to our database. After we are done with our information gathering, we would release you to your home plane, but we don't have the planar coordinates, or the ability to get those coordinates with our current technology. Now, what is your name?”
I wasn't thinking about how this was completely impossible. I wasn't thinking about this had to be some crazy, in-game introduction. I knew in my heart that I was really on another world. What I was thinking about, however, was that I was angry. Very, very angry. How DARE these [bleeping] [bleeps] kidnap me! I was going to escape ASAP, but I didn't want to make the Hulk angry. I had I feeling that I wouldn't like him when he was angry. So, I complied. For now, at least.
“Analise Rodhire. May I ask a question?”
The old man looked at me dubiously-I think I'm going to call him Evil Gandalf-and said flatly “Yes.”
“What is the name of your organization?”
“The Technic League. Now, is your planet capable of interplanetary travel?”
“We're on the brink of it. What is your position within the Technic League?”
At the second question, Evil Gandalf looked slightly annoyed. “Prime Scientist. Does your plane have magic?”
Now this question surprised me. Did this place seriously have magic?!? I tried to retain my composure, and cooly answered. “No. Does your plane have magic?”
“Yes. In fact, I am led to believe that our technological advances our stymied due to intense reliance on it. Now, on to the next question.”
The drilling continued to for hours. I gained information about his world-called Golarion- exchanged for information about mine. Apparently, I was in a country called Numeria, a land of deep contrasts. Due to a starship that fell here long ago, Numeria was extremely advanced compared to the rest of Golarion. Howver, the Technic League tightly controlled the flow of the tech, and so a lot of the place was relatively primitive. Finally, Evil Gandalf said “That was satisfactory. Targon, restrain Analise and take her into the experimentation rooms. I want to see the genetic variances between humans of this plane and hers.”
The Hulk advanced menacingly upon me, and picked me up like a baby. I struggled, squelead, and again, I will neither confirm nor deny I screamed. When he took me out out of the room, I got very angry. And I also hulked out. I felt like something was rolled aside in my mind, and there was a massive pool of power there, just waiting to be used. I touched it.... and I grew.
I don't remember much of what happened after that. I escaped the Hulk's clutches, and fled, running through the twisted hallways, and finally escaping to the wilderness. After a while, I shrunk, and I arrived at a pool of water. Astoundingly, I had lost two hundred pounds. Now that that stage is past me, yes, I will admit it: I weighed three hundred pounds. I guess the interplanar travel did something to my body, because now, I was beautiful.
I drank from the pool, and then wandered around, eventually finding the town of Torch. I spent about a year there, learning how to better control my-dare I say it? Yes, I do-magic there, and learning proper Taldane without relying upon the translation device. However, the fires of revenge burned hotly inside of me, and I lusted for revenge against the Technic League. (Yes, I know, that was a bit melodramatic.) I trained with sword and spell, learning how to fuse both as a weapon against the League.
I was out of town, properly exploring Numeria, when news reached me that Torch's fire went out. I immediately smelled Technic League. Most likely, one of their experiments went wrong (as they often do) and it somehow extinguished the flame. Rushing back to Torch, I was eager to get revenge on the jerks...
And that's when everything spiraled out of control.
Analise Rodhire was a normal teenager on Earth: having wild parties, struggling to control her ever-mounting weight, geeking around on the internet.... When suddenly, the Technic League kidnapped her for interrogation and experimentation. Discovering she had magic, Analise made a dramatic escape, finding Torch and swearing revenge against the League. Now that Torch's flame has gone out, Analise is suspicious of the Technic League, as she heads back to the town from an excursion to explore Numeria...
Sorry if this isn't very well written, I had a tiring day.
Dotting!
Not sure what I'm going with yet, but likely something oriented around the Skymetal Smith trait. That or the Numerian Archaeologist one. Glitches sound ‼Fun‼
*Edit*: Question for you, Viskous:
Are you against the Wyrwood race from the Bestiary 4? (First introduced in the Advanced Race Guide)
If you allow it, then I'm probably going to aim for a Wyrwood Transmuter Wizard, who focuses on magically crafting with Skymetals. Even if you don't allow the Wyrwood, the wizard will likely remain, just as another race. Backstory-wise, I can easily come up with something, though the Wyrwood don't have an established place in Golarion's Lore.

S.c.a.r.l.e.t. - Some kind of summoner?
Aye, that's whut I bin postin'.
So, a Summoner who isn't a 'Synthesist'... but who 'wears' their Euidilon any how. By simply getting inside the thing. Of course, this wouldn't be till 8th level, when they can take the 'LArge' evolution... Or perhaps a little sooner if the character gets a ring of 'Reduce person'...? Perhaps adjusting/modifying the 'Ride' evolution to create a space inside the Euidilon?
Initially, of course, she'll just be taking out some sort of item. Waving it about and yelling things like "Celestial eagle! I choose YOU!" :P
Also, the possibility of using HeroLab to generate a 'Unique' Android? Again, keeping it at 10 points
