Here is Alsande Roh. He's an android who was raised by Khonnir, who kept him disguised as a human. Now that Khonnir is missing, the spell that disguised him has worn off, and he's trying to find out the truth about who he is. I thought this might give some good story hook.

In hindsight, that Alsande had no memories before his 18 years should have been a clue. That he had an uncanny knack for working with all kinds of gizmos and trinkets could have been another. But when a man named Khonnir Baine shelters you, teaching the tools of his trade and spinning you the tragic tale of how you were the only survivor of a devastating caravan attack, you don't start wondering whether you're actually an android in disguise. Especially if you really are an android, as they are notoriously prone to misunderstanding emotions.
For about six years, Alsande lived in Khonnir's house, working in his lab. He was extremely skilled with magic, assisting Khonnir in the creation of many an item and the repairing of many a trinket. He was frail and awkward around people; his only true friend was Baine's daughter, Val, but he didn't matter. He had a passion for the craft, as if craftsmanship was flowing in his veins. And indeed it was.
A week Khonnir went missing, a woprried Alsande noticed something weird going on with his appearance, as if a disguising spell was fading. His dark hair was turning silk-white, his skin was taking an ashen coloration, and even his eyes seemed to be bleaching. But, most unnervingly, circuit tattoos were emerging on his skin. Circuit patterns that Alsande knew very well. The mark of an android. Val was as shocked as he was by this sudden transformation
Set on finding out the truth about his origins, and why Khonnir had hidden the truth, there was only one decision he could take. He grabbed his spellbook, some gear, and set off to finding him.
--------------------
Alsande used to look like a normal human, with black hair and brown eyes, but that was before the magic hiding his real nature wore off. Now he's weirldy colorless, his hair, eyes and skin all in the same shade of pearl-grayish white plastic. He's of medium height and feeble corporature, and he usually dresses in an artificer's outfit, with a cotton shirt (recently dyed a bright blue to provide the color his carnation is missing) and leather breeches (dyed a deep red).
--------------------
Alsande used to be an awkward, introverted, geekish kid. This hasn't changed much, except that, of lately, he has decidedly freaked out. The discovery of his nature has made him restless, anxious and worried, a bad match for the android's innate lack of social capabilities. He's the tipe of guy who could speak for a couple hours about something he found interesting (usually related to magic, engineering or craftworks), without thinking whether his interlocutor is understanding even a single word. He could, as well, unwillingly offend people with a remark that he thought to be innocent.
This is Felicia, who has been admitted into several rounds of Iron Gods and some outside circumstance kills it each time. Her race is custom worked with a previous GM, but is half catfolk and fairly well balanced. I love her flavor of being an alien, but if I'm considered I'd work with the GM.
I'll stat her to your specs as soon as I have some free time and know whether the concept is acceptable to you!
I have been fortunate enough to have recently been selected for an abundance of other PBPs, and thus I withdraw my application. Best of luck to those remaining!
I hereby submit Myka Thorne for consideration. Myka is a former Chelaxian slave who blackmailed her master into freeing her before fleeing the country. Inspired by travel journals from her master's library, she made her way to Numeria to explore the strange and wondrous ruins that captured her imagination during her own captivity.
Mechanically, Myka is an Occultist starting with the Divination and Transmutation implement schools, built primarily to be a spy/face/trickster, but with enough melee utility to hold her own in a fight.

@ Felicia LaFou
I added you to the list, but I have no idea how your catgirl race functions? Is it important to your character concept that she is an alien?
I'd prefer if we stick to non-alien, just because there are events that take place that deal with an actually statted alien race.
The boy woke up in a different building, with metal around his ankle. He could still smell the animals, but also something else, something hot. The boy worked that day until he bled everywhere. He worked that day until he couldn't move to go to the bathroom. The short, hairy man beat him for going to the bathroom on himself. "Clean that up, Churm!" But then the man gave him a bowl of food. That tiny bowl was the most food the boy had ever seen before.
The boy worked everyday until he could barely crawl to his pallet, but every night, the short, hairy man gave the boy a bowl of food. "See Churm, Droskar feeds those who work hard." Years passed like this, every day filled with the same hard work, beatings and bowl of food.
Eventually, the boy learned that Churm was his name, but not that it meant "child human" in Dwarven. He learned that Droskar was not the blacksmith's name, but the name of his god. And he learned to work in the forge; but most importantly, he learned that hard work brought food, a dry bed and less beatings. Churm worked hard, and sometimes he found ways to play, too.
Churm found a loose tile in the roof, but until he learned to climb up there safely, he would fall and hurt himself. And when he couldn't explain the bruises to his master, he would take a beating for those bruises. But when Churm did make the climb safely, he could get to the stable next door. Some of the horses even remembered him, and he remembered them all.
As time passed, the dwarf spent more and more time drinking and sleeping--Churm now knew that the short, hairy man was a dwarf--giving Churm more time to spend with the animals, and even some time to watch men fight each other in front of the stable. In his play, he mimed their movements. He even learned how to avoid some of the dwarf's blows, but he also learned not to dodge too many blows, or the dwarf would use his hammer.
One day, Churm found a small piece of noqual in one of the stalls. He knew it belonged to somebody, it was very rare; but he also knew that nobody else knew he came to the stable. Churm stole the nugget of noqual, and he made a tiny dagger out of it. It was his!
That day, Churm learned that he could have things of his own. It was only a matter of time until he realized he could have a life of his own, too. On that day, he stole some weapons and armor from the dwarf, and ran far away. For a long time, he stayed away from cities, afraid of being caught. He practiced the things he had seen from the men in front of the stable. He ate the plants that didn't make him sick and the few, small animals he could catch. He became lonely. And he heard Droskar telling him to work harder.
Today, Churm decided to enter a city. He could find work in a city. And maybe he could find people to talk with him and smile at him, like the men in front of the stable did with each other.
Crunch is in the profile.
It's OK if you don't want the alien thing. One GM said I was a "sample" taken by the race and had repressed traumatic memories thereof, and another made me an unrelated alien that came through the same thing that made the ship fall. Her original flavor, though, was not alien. She's the daughter of a catfolk character from Kingmaker, come to numeria out of curiosity and to make a name for herself.
The race is the same as catfolk, but I've given up Sprinter and Cat's luck in favor of the Human Bonus feat. The RP stays the same that way.
Actually that isn't supposed to be there until level 2, and only a couple times a day at first. Charmed life class feature.
I've had to bounce her between 1 and 3 so many times I miss stuff lol.

@ Felicia LaFou
I like the original flavor, and as long as it's catfolk race with how its statted, should be fine. Plus I'm pretty sure the "ship" "landed" several million years ago.
Define wielded, in regards to a magus casting spells with his bonded weapon, what if this weapon is a two handed weapon.
By RAW, Maguses need to have a free hand in order to use Spell Combat, so a two-handed weapon is sub-optimal for a Magus. A better alternative would be using something like a Longsword (which you can hold two-handed for the extra damage when necessary, and one-handed when you need to cast), or spending a feat on Exotic Weapon Proficiency with a Bastard Sword (which allows you to do the same thing with a slightly better damage die).
At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.
It does seem that you would need to keep a free hand for casting a spell. So if you had a two handed weapon, you either wouldn't be able to cast a spell because you had no free hand or you would be casting a spell but unable to attack with your weapon because you would be holding it only with one hand. Neither of those seem like a good option. I like spectrevk's suggestion for a bastard sword. Use one-handed for casting or two-handed to just slash through things.
This was actually a massive subject of debate, and I don't think there was ever a clear FAQ ruling from the devs about it, but spell combat explicitly doesn't work with two-handed weapons, and the benefit of wielding a one-handed weapon in two hands amounts to (at best) +3 damage per attack at low levels to +10 per attack at high levels. Is the ability to wield that weapon in two hands vital to your character concept?
Quick question as I update Adrien's sheet. Half-elves have a favored class option for the summoner that adds +1/4 of an evolution point every level, would you be okay with allowing it? He was originally built as a half-elf for that reason and I switched him to a human as the last game he was in disallowed that favored class bonus. If not, I'll likely leave him as a human this go-round.

When a person is born under a storm like Elkin was, they usually grow up to shown signs of great power or fortune. And so Elkin’s parents and elders believed, at least at the time. And it would indeed have been fortunate, as those kinds of people often bring prosperity to a family or tribe.
Believing became praying. Praying became wishing. Wishing became hoping. And finally hoping become resignation, as it was clear that Elkin was nothing special.
Oh, sure, he was smart. But he wasn’t strong, and what good is smart when you can’t help out on the hunt? (Especially when the hunters won’t listen to your smart ideas!)
So, Stormborn stuck, but it became more of a jibe than a title, a constant reminder of what he never became. And while he wasn’t shunned—a Kellid tribe would never turn away their own—he knew he wasn’t regarded well, either. When the tribe broke the encampment near Torch to follow the herds, Elkin finally decided he had no future in the tribe. He announced that he would stay behind and move into the small village and find some simple work.
Nobody tried to change his mind.
But it was in Torch that he discovered what Stormborn really meant. He had been working with one of the smelters who worked the torch (not doing the labor—that would be laughable—but helping to fine-tune the detection system for flare-ups). Elkin liked to take a walk to the far side of the torch hill, for a little peace, and to block the light so that he could see the starts. It was on one of these walks that Nelen revealed himself. A petromin (some kind of alien creature, Elkin sort-of-understood), Nelen had sensed something that had slumbered in Elkin since that long ago storm; something that had slumbered but not yet awakened.
Nelen woke it.
Elkin still doesn’t understand the whys or hows (putting the pieces together here; it’s going to take some time to study it!), but he’s starting to get a grasp on the what: magic. Lots of magic.
Elkin is currently motivated to understand just what’s happened to him as a result of the combination of his birth and this fascinating creature. He understands that his power somehow derives from the stars, using Nelen as a conduit. He understands that Nelen (or at least, Nelen’s kind; maybe not Nelen specifically?) is from the stars. He understands that his power will eventually grow.
And Nelen sure seems to think that this is fated, that there’s a reason for all this to have happened.

--------------------
Mona Two-Toes was born to the shamaness of the nomadic Kellid Thousand Feet tribe. The Thousand Feet travel around Numeria, never settling in one place, and are considered primitive by even other Kellid.
Mona never knew her father, who was abundantly not a human Kellid, and her mother nor the rest of her tribe ever spoke of him. Mona certainly inherited her looks from her father, including greenish skin, a stocky build, and slightly enlarged lower canines. A lazy left eye and only two toes on her left foot -the origin of her sobriquet- may also have been legacies of her missing father. Mona had seen the Thousand Feet kill newborns with less severe deformities, and guesses she only survived thanks to her mother's protection- she has never asked her mother.
The firece shamaness Rhona Many Hats is Mona's mother, and raised the girl with a harsh hand. Mona feared her mother greatly, as even slight deviations from her mother's commands were punished harshly, but Rhona also protected Mona from the other Thousand Feet who would surely have killed her or driven her out of the tribe. Living nearly alone in her mother's tent, usually erected some distance away from the main Thousand Feet encampment because of her mother's sanctity, Mona was taught the secrets of the Thousand Feet tribe's animistic religion by her mother.
When she was about ten years old, her mother's weasel familiar had a litter, and her mother tasked Mona with raising one of the male kits to be her spirit animal. Naming the weasel Les, the animal became her only true friend.
Mona continued to learn at the foot for her mother over the next eight years. Everything was taught to her, including the basics of spellcasting, herbal medicine, reading the portents of the stars, and simply surviving in the machine-haunted wasteland that is Numeria. Just recently, Rhona has shown Mona the secret ritual to awaken Les's spirit, and a new stage in their relationship has begun.
Just two days ago, the Thousan Feet tribe arrived outside of the city of Torch. This rare visit to the civilized world was precipitated by a windfall of animal pelts, charcoal, and even some tech salvage recently acquired by the Thousand Feet. The tribal elders, including her mother, agreed to stop at the nearest town to trade away these goods in return for much needed metal weapons and armor.
Mona is normally forbidden from leaving her mother's tent, let alone going into a city, when the Thousand Feet deign to approach civilization. However, her mother has failed to return to the tent from Torch during the tribe's stop at the city. Growing worried, Mona has borrowed one of her mother's clubs and an ill-fitting suit of hide armor, and left with Les to head into Torch. She is willing to risk her mother's wrath in order to ensure the safety of one of the only people who has ever tolerated her.

GM, I'm not sure what you mean? I believe that option for Summoners is presented in the Advanced Race Guide, and as far as I know by the books it's legal to take? I just know my last GM for this requested I didn't take it, so I wanted to ask. For convenience's sake I kept Adrien as a Human for now. If I could get clarification, I'd appreciate it. If I am selected and you are okay with that favored class bonus, I'll likely rebuild him as a half-elf.

Thanks to the (1,2,3,4.....38 - 1) of you who applied. I will be reviewing character submissions over the week and will hopefully decide on a group. I will be most likely going with 4-6.
Thank you for your efforts, and hope to game with you soon.
@ Adrien Belmont
I mean, if the rulebook allows it, then I will as well. If it gets to be a problem later, then we'll discuss it.

Ah, okay! I was a little confused, but thanks for the clarification. I'm gonna change that real quick but other than that Adrien and Ozzy are good to go.
Normally I would say a week is a rather long time to come to a decision, then I take another look at how many submissions there are. Good luck in looking over everything in just a week. :)
Ember is a lifelong resident of Torch and is available if any out of town PCs need another in local contact.
Masha would probably have at least met in passing any locals.
Once the GM picks a group, someone should suggest a few good GMs looking for an AP to run 'view' this thread possibly?
I've never seen a bigger group up for an AP before I think.
The biggest AP I have been part of got picked for Three tables of 6 PCs by Three different GMs! My table died early because the GM had too much going on to continue, but I got to transfer to another table who lost a person...and almost a year later we're still playing!
=)
I believe I was once in a recruitment with something like forty applicants? This one's close, though.
Largest I've seen, but the second largest was around this amount and made into 3 groups of about 8 apiece all by the same DM.
Bump.
I wonder if the amount and quality is because of the AP or just more people wanting to get into games? I am weighing if I should start to GM PbP games so this is very intresting.
I'm sure that the sheer number of applications is the reason for the delay. I'd rather have a GM take his time and do his due diligence than one who slaps a party together without any thought.

It does feel like there haven't been as many starting up in the last month or so. Perhaps a bit of a bottleneck on the Supply end of Supply & Demand.
I usually stick to official stuff, simply because every homebrew I've ever joined on this site has burned out pretty quickly. I know that's not universally the case, but I've gotten frustrated with and quit bothering.
I am literally that 91% finished progress bar. Decisions Decisions. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned you all! Hopefully will finish deciding tonight.
Loading... Loading... Loading... Blue Screen!

Congrats.

Ahh well. Looks like you got a gret group.
Congrats everyone!
@Sapiens, I'm on board with that.
I'm onboard for that, Sapiens.
