Given that you're starting in a rough position, I thought a few more HP might help carry you through. :)
Looking through again, I feel like the skill-monkey slot might be most needed right now, so I'll build her that way for now, with the note that she could be built other ways to meet party needs.
I'm building a skill monkey at least, though s/he'll also be an arcane caster (arcane trickster). Just build what you want to play the most and hopefully things will work out. Usually there are enough applicants for all positions.
I was mostly just trying to use it as a way to narrow down which possible build I wanted to go with. I'm leaning Slayer right now, but the way I've been with this Wyvaran, I might change my mind again by tomorrow.
And I did. XD Sort-of. Thinking Slayer/Fighter now, using the new Fighter archetype from Legacy of Dragons.
Seems like activity in this thread have somewhat died down. I'm mostly done with mechanics, but I still have ways to go on the fluffy parts. When is the deadline? Who are still making characters? There are not that many completed submissions.
I'm still trying to come up with a name for my Wyvaran. XD
Recruitment will go through next Wednesday(8/31) at the latest. I am hoping the quiet means people are working on their submissions.
Mine is close to being finished. I've had a lot of uncertainty about which class to play, which has involved me rebuilding the character 5 different times. >_>

That sounds like me! XD
Would you permit the Dragonheir Scion Fighter archetype? Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be on the d20pfsrd yet, but I could PM you the details.
EDIT: I should give you more info on it. XD It's from the new Legacy of Dragons Player Companion. Basically, it swaps out some of the Fighter's Bonus Feats for a buffed Arcane Strike and some intimidation (and wings at level 15), and Armor Training for some Natural Armor and Energy Resistance.
I'm another one who is interested but is still finalizing an idea. Am fixating on a kasatha (with a couple dropped race traits) and possibly a Guru from Dreamscarred's Akashic Mysteries if you will allow it, or if not, I'm also really loving the idea of a soulknife. (And of course many other ideas, but trying to keep it focused!)
Ken,not sure if you missed my earlier post, but there is no need to drop racial traits from published races. The 15 RP is only if you are designing your own race. I am fine with either the guru or the soulknife, which does not make your job easier, I know.
I have been accepted into a PbP with a different character (Mahk the Scythe) and that scratches my playing itch, so Santrin is withdrawing from consideration.
Good Luck and Good Gaming to All.

Yep, I saw that, but wondered if 20 RP would be pushing it. Thanks!
I finally came up with a name for my Wyvaran character, as you can see. She's most of the way done, though I need to transfer my thoughts on her history and personality from my head to the page, still, and pick a couple of traits. And I still owe you a PM with the info on Dragonheir Scion.
This is what I've got as a mechanical build for a Thri-kreen custom race. It's my first time doing the race builder, so let me know if anything needs to be altered.
Type: humanoid (kreen)
Size: medium
Ability Score Modifiers: Kreen are speedy and tough, but their insectoid nature can make it difficult for them to connect with other races; +2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Cha (Specialized, 1 RP)
Languages: Kreen (Xenophobic, 0 RP)
Multi-Armed: Thri-kreen have 4 arms. Only one hand is treated as their primary hand. (8 RP)
Desert Runner: Thri-kreen receive a +4 racial bonus on Constitution checks and Fortitude saves to avoid fatigue and exhaustion, as well as any other ill effects from running, forced marches, starvation, thirst, and hot or cold environments. (2 RP)
Camouflage: Thri-kreen gain a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks while within desert terrain. (1 RP)
Jumper: Thri-kreen are always considered to have a running start when making Acrobatics checks to jump. (2 RP)
Bite: Thri-kreen gain a natural bite attack, dealing 1d3 damage. The bite is a primary attack, or a secondary attack if the creature is wielding manufactured weapons. (1 RP)
That comes out to an even 15 RP, as far as I can tell.
As for my actual character, I've been thinking about doing some kind of cleric. Since just because Dark Sun thri-kreen don't have religion, as there's no access to divine magic on their planet, doesn't mean that thri-kreen from other worlds couldn't worship a deity. I'm thinking they would be spacefarers already and essentially missionaries trying to convert others to their religion, before the character ends up in this situation.
My arcane trickster is coming along nicely. The path of war archtype Hidden Blade shores up some of the normal weakness of such a character nicely, making him both have decent defenses and be able to hide the broad side of a barn. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the fluff this weekend.
Bump and reminder that submissions will be wrapped up on Wednesday
I think I'll be dropping out of the running as I just haven't realistically got time for another PbP right now. I'll look forward to following along, though :)
All done except traits now!
Dotting for interest. I absolutely love all the Path of War material and don't get to run characters with it. I'll probably have a couple characters I could run by if you don't mind.
Traits chosen. Aurexil should now be ready for review.
Due to my son getting sick I probably won't be able to finish my character in time. We'll see what happens this evening though. It's honestly not that much left to go.

May rework this character for submission. Her race was designed with 15 rp. Need to rework the background and check the point buy, etc.
I'll try and dig out the racial write up when I get home from work tonight.
Well, I finally have a character of sorts. Not as well developed as I would usually like, but hopefully it's sufficient.
Just a note, mine isn't completed yet, I have to do a rewrite of her to make sure she complies. I just won't have the time until this evening. Fortunately it won't take long to do I don't think.
Also, I sent you the race write up via PM last night after I got home LEgend, let me know if that will/won't work please.
Oh, and high Neve, we may meet again.
Hopefully :). I found that I didn't need to do anything except get rid of the gear to 'build' Neve for this campaign. All the crunch is the same!
I ha a bit more than that to take care of for some reason.
Crunch wise I should be good now, if someone wants to give it a quick once over to make sure I'd appreciate it as I have to head to work now and won't be able to do much for several hours. I'll take care of the backstory/description stuff when I get home later.
When exactly is the deadline? I would like to flesh out things a bit more (familiar and personality). I'm considering switching out invisibility for stonecunning and camouflage as they both seem really flavorful (and also fitting mechanically when they apply, the question is only how much they will).
I am also interested in knowing when the deadline is. I will have an Aegis with the Path of War expanded "Initiators Soul" done by the end of the day
The end of the day today is the deadline for finishing up your characters. I'm on Eastern time, and whenever I wake up tomorrow, I will make a final pass and I will announce final selections either in the morning or after work.
Alright, I took care of the few mechanical issues I still had, an extra feat, corrected armor class. I wasn't sure on hit points for second level so I went with half hit die +1 until I can find out. Description/background has also been updated to fit with the AP as closely as I could make it.
If there are any issues anyone notices please let me know.
Hit points are maxed for first two levels, then 75% after that.
In other news Balazar is a bit more fleshed out.

Time to flesh out backstory more.
Artirian was raised in an orphanage, where the other kids constantly bullied him for being a nerdy git(he loves books). As result, he was often alone. One night, while he was feeling extra lonely, he wondered, "What if I could have a dog of my own?" As he was thinking about it, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and Lo and Behold, a black dog appeared at his his feet and was licking his hand. He called his dog Jaxel, but soon realised that this was no ordinary dog. For one, it possessed human-like intelligence and seemed to be able to pick up his thoughts. Jaxel never left messes, could always be counted to stay out of trouble, unlike other pets. He noticed that both him and Jaxel shared the same sun rune on their foreheads. But he knew somehow that he had to keep Jaxel a secret.
He joined a courier company and was one day told to deliver a message to a nearby town. As the jpurney was long, and the weather was fine, he decided to walk his dog - Jaxel. He was waylaid by bandits and he realised that Jaxel wasn't that much of an imaginary friend afterall and was all too real, as he easily tore the bandits to bits, with a few getting away after the death of their fellows. After he overcame his revulsion, he looked at their corpses and recognised them of being servants of a minor noble. He realised that the message he carried was of a sensitive nature and he had earned the noble's enmity. Knowing that the laws favored the nobles instead of the common man, he cleaned up, delivered the message and left the town before the law caught up with him.
Artirian and Jaxel have been travelling ever since, in part to satisfy Artirian's wanderlust. He hopes to publish his book "Golarion - the world uncovered", make a decent profit over it.
Still filling in some details, but finally here's my submission:
Basically, an alien space hippy who is looking to encounter and learn from as many alien races as he can. This rude awakening may actually be the most wonderful thing ever for him.

Yay! thank you! Grats all, and good luck to those who didn't make it in all your gaming endeavors.
Thank you very much! I'm not sure I could ever GM one of these - too many interesting characters. I could never actually pick! But this looks like a fascinating group.
Thanks for the invite!
