Added Trapper as a free Profession and altered the +1 skill point in swim to +1 local.
Everything should be in order now - just need to add the goblin story to the profile.
Once you've created the alias you simply go to the profile page .. paizo.com/people/nameofthatalias .. and you click on edit my profile :)
@ Leinathan, should I replace the Missionary trait or can I use the old trait?
You can use the old traits or the ones that Loruk posted down.
@Edward, you probably won't be back in time for party selection, but you ought to be back in time for a game start, so if you want to throw a character into the mix, it wouldn't be too obtrusive to the game.
Where's Sethren, the wizard? And where are the rest of our arcanists? I'm surprised to not see any bards.
We're doing good on submissions so far. My mind's gears are turning.
I'm toying with 3 different ideas: a cleric, a hexcrafter magus, or an alchemist.
Are there any appropriate archetypes for alchemist that you would suggest? I've never played RotRL or seen it played.
Well, the alchemist archetype kind of depends on your backstory, what kind of character they are. I can't think of any that would be thematically INAPPROPRIATE, as long as you handled it carefully.
Comeliness: -1-1= 11!
I'm working on a bard!
Sethran is here...
Does he have a background?
Also, how is it that he can use Toppling Spell at 1st-level?
Any problems with my characters?

Elven Reflexes: +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.
Elven Immunities: Immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.

Spell Focus (Enchantment): Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic you select.
Skill Focus (Spellcraft): You get a +3 bonus on all checks involving the chosen skill.
Dodge: You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat.
Hand of the Apprentice: (Universalist feat) You cause your melee weapon to fly from your grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning to you. As a standard action, you can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that you add your Intelligence modifier on the attack roll instead of your Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Background (the nitty-gritty): A lover of all things ancient, Sethran found himself in Kaer Maga at a small little known annex of his university. He'd been buried in books for years. But, he loved Thassilonian history, language and culture... so interesting (Thassilonian Scholar Trait).
A week ago, he was summoned and given his first field assignment. It seems some of his own research was put together by those more experienced than him. Prophecies interpreted, evil is afoot, something sinister... Is it ever good?
But, at Sandpoint?!
He knew his work was good, solid... Someone who looked at it must have been mistaken. It happens, but no use arguing over it. He needed a vacation, anyway. And, as luck would have it there would be a festival. He liked the pageantry.
This would be good, he'd be back in no time. These old dusty tomes would no doubt keep.
Alternatively, I had a reboot thing which could be incorporated.
A battle hardened Elven Wizard meets up with Sethran as he's leaving the annex, on the ship over to Sandpoint, or the morning of the festival.
They chat having much common ground, but the forlorn Elf gives the advice of "trusting your companions and being true to yourself", which sticks and causes Sethran to develop into more of a bad-azz and less of a bookish nerd, theoretical wizard. Possibly setting up a multi-class/dip into Rogue (or something) for 2-3 levels.
Unbeknownst to Sethran that was actually him... future/alternate. Who's team failed to stop the Runelords. He was the sole survivor. He of course knows enough to not give any information away. And focused only on unlocking in Sethran what might help him reach his full potential and succeed.
================================
For Toppling Spell, he can only use it on Magic Missile @ 1st Level.
Magical Lineage: One of your parents was a gifted spellcaster who not only used metamagic often, but also developed many magical items and perhaps even a new spell or two—and you have inherited a fragment of this greatness.
Benefit: Pick one spell (Magic Missile) when you choose this trait. When you apply metamagic feats to this spell that add at least 1 level to the spell, treat its actual level as 1 lower for determining the spell's final adjusted level.
================================
Also, Crafting... I was intending on being a Magic Item Crafter. Per RAW, nothing super fancy. Is that OK?
================================
Then there's the Crossbow. He'll be using a crossbow, a big one eventually. All RAW, but maximizing damage output. Maybe 3d8+5 by 4th level (an Elf can dream)?
================================
Cyrene, elf alchemist:
He is serious and studious, and has little patience for 'fooling around' or 'nonsense'. He socializes poorly, with his mild disdain for chit-chat leaking through to all he says and does. His positive or negative opinion of others is delightfully free of racial considerations, but is instead related to how intelligent he thinks you are. Cyrene is stubborn and a little bit arrogant; he rarely makes jokes but when he does they tend to be rather sarcastic.
Cyrene believes in ordered and stable societies: he needs functioning economies and markets in order to be able to pursue his own researches and obtain ingredients. On general grounds, he disapproves of banditry as being disruptive and inconvenient.
Alchemy is not unknown among the elves, but it's not a tradition afforded the same sort of respect as 'high' magic-- his family, at least, considered it more the sort of experimentation better left to gnomes or humans. Cyrene soon ran out of available texts and mentors for his experiments. He requested dispensation to study abroad, which was denied-- it was bad enough their son was a closet case who liked to blow up pristine sections of nature, but the idea that he could think that he could learn anything from non-elves! Le gasp, le scandal. Cyrene was told 'no' and the family sat down to tell him that while mixing saltpeter and newt's tongue as a hobby was all well and good, he really had better get serious about his education.
Cyrene said 'yes, father, yes, mother'-- and ran away from home at the first opportunity. He has traveled to both Magnimar and Riddleport, seeking masters to apprentice himself to in the name of learning. He seems to not care a whit whether he learns from an elf, human, or even an orc-- it is the knowledge he pursues for its own sake. He is dedicated to his craft, but he is also coming to terms with the fact that outside of Crying Leaf and his family's wealth, study takes money..! Of which he has little left. He will grudgingly seek 'employment' if it means a) ready coin and b) the chance to test his experiments in the field and c) exposure to new substances and reagents.
Ultimately, Cyrene seeks to explore the elven ruins of Celwynvian, believing that much lost knowledge may wait in the lost city.
He is in Sandpoint tracking down rumors of a particular locally available seaweed that is supposed to have interesting alchemical properties.

Syrma, halfling oracle:
Syrma affects a dreamy persona, often claiming to hear 'the stars' or Desna herself. In truth she's a shrewd businesswoman and knows that this persona is often what people expect of a fortune-teller. Syrma is canny and cagey, and a little wary of the 'big folk', but she has a good heart and has a large collection of friends who come to her for guidance or counsel. She also has a soft spot for underdogs, and will jump to the defense of anyone she thinks is being bullied.
Syrma was happy enough in the caravan of travelers, but as she has grown older she has become more and more interested in a true worship and study of the heavens, as opposed to the good-natured swindling of townsfolk that the caravan engages in. She performed a reading for herself that told her she would only truly learn to follow the stars when she struck out in her own orbit. It's possible she 'read' exactly what she wanted to read into the cards.... but either way, her parents gave her their blessing, and Syrma packed a few belongings and bade farewell to the caravan when it left Sandpoint.
She is still in Sandpoint, listening to rumors and watching the stars. She supports herself by doing card readings and 'divinations' for others, but she feels something greater is waiting in her future, and has resolved to be ready when it arrives.

OK character completed and in profile...
It's in the profile, tell me what you think gm.
Ok finally have time to make a post with Davorik the two weapon fighter (scimitar and lt shield). The crunch and background are in the profile except for 1 feat as trying to make a final decision (toughness, power attack, weapon focus, shield focus...so many options) is the alternate racial trait for humans available to exchange the bonus feat and skill points for a +2 to any stat? If so I would up str by 2 to 18.
ThE gist of it is local boy sees his home attacked by giants. He is too late to get their to help and doesn't have the training anyways. To fix that he heads to Sandpoint and joins the militia and town guard to be better prepared the next time a threat arises.
Comeliness roll drop the 3 for a 15 comeliness.
Please ask any questions as I would love to be in this campaign since I only wetted my appetite my first time around. Also good to post at least once a day.
How is initiative being decided with combat? Is it individual turns based on initiative, group initiative, split initiative in two groups? Just wondering as I have been involved in both and favor the split or initiate for PbP. Slit allows for a rogue to still have high initiative to get a sneak attack in.
I would like to use a character I once had in a Rise of the Runelords game. We never got past the first fight in sandpoint with the goblins so I really have no knowledge of the AP.
Here is Xogar. If you would be willing, the original build had the archetype Redeemer from the advanced race guide. Would you be willing to let me keep it? I really like the way he turns out with this.
He also has the Warrior of the Holy Light archetype as well.
I altered the gear, money, and the additions you mention in the opening post to match this game.

Comeliness Total: 19
Please tell me what you think.
Working on the stats right now, but I would like to throw in my intent to play an Inquisitor of Abadar, a semi-retired hunter of monsters that used to scour the edges of civilization for big nasties in order to tame those lands. He retired a few years ago, when his band was wiped out almost to a man, and now lives in Sandpoint as a trapper and bureaucrat in the Sandpoint Hunter's Guild. He is also a volunteer in the Sandpoint militia.
In what way would he be motivated to adventure?
Arturus was born in Sandpoint, and worked locally as a hunter, but spent many years abroad; first as an adept clergyman of Abadar, then as a member of the Civiliziers - a group which works to tame the fringes of civilized lands, expanding the influence of Abadar's Law. They travel in fairly large bands(20+), hunting destructive creatures and protecting citizens who live on the borderlands. Early in his career, his band had the misfortune of crossing paths with a young green dragon, and was decimated. Arturus survived, but returned home to a simpler life, and though he seems more subdued, a spark can be seen behind his eyes whenever he hears stories of Big Game passing through the local taverns.

Arturus looks grizzled, but by no means haggard or ill-kempt. Rough and weathered, yet not too worn. Typically wearing a suit of broken-in leathers and hunting drabs, he carries a shortbow and quarterstaff for protection. He wears a bone carving of a key - Abadar's symbol - around his neck.
He spends his time in neat halves between ranging the safer parts of the local forestlands for meat and pelts, and helping to run the Sandpoint Hunter's Guild as a mid-level bureaucrat. Issuing permits, tracking and apprehending poachers, and keeping track of the local fauna is almost a full time job in and of itself, but the pay...well the pay sucks. In his free time, he tries to make up the difference by working as a trapper.

BTW a lava gnome is a racial subtype of gnome, its a flavourful title is all :P
Lava Gnomes Fascinated by the power of magma and living in vast caverns beneath active volcanoes, lava gnomes are considered hot-tempered and dangerously unstable even by other gnomes. Lava gnomes have the darkvision and pyromaniac alternate racial traits.

Dotting for interest.
Perhaps Desna visited Yunnie's dreams and found a strong want for companionship and a tender heart to care for others, for one day, Yunnie heard a voice. A calling, by an unfamiliar name. The voice bid him to visit the town of Sandpoint, where a new cathedral was being erected.
Not knowing what would happen, Yunnie decided to trust in the soft, warm voice of Sarenrae and left his home to follow the only thing he could hear.
Traits: Student of Faith, Caretaker
Background skill: Profession (Medic [or something similar])
I have chosen to omit the main portion of the statblock because it is information that is redundant at this point of time. If you would like me to include it, please let me know. However, I do believe that majority of what you wish to see is here.
Aye! I looked in when I could while busy in Real Life and was all,
(O_O)
Three pages worth of posts!
As a quick and dirty method fer makin' a character, am happy to edit this Suny down to fit tha' guidelines set by tha' DM. (^_^)
Also, the Sorcerer 'Blood line' which allows for an 'Animal companion' (Not a 'Familiar) is 'Sylvan Bloodline' found here Pathfinder PRD
(^_^) Very much cheers to all.

Submitting an alternate class for back-up.
A careless joke landed him in trouble with a group of Sczarni sellswords, who weren't the cheerful, easy-going half of the family. Yunnie was abducted and almost killed, if it weren't for a Sczarni cousin who happened to follow the sellswords. The trouper found it amusing that Yunnie could jest on the verge of death and decided to take him under his wing.
Years have passed since then. Yunnie is now an accomplished trouper, reeling in profits for the family. However, he yearned for larger stages and grander plans. Having not heard from an acquaintance in awhile, Yunnie decided to see if Cyrdak Drokkus was still looking for an apprentice in the town of Sandpoint.
Traits: Eager Performer, Rapscallion
Background skill: Perform!
It's 4d6, drop lowest ^^ not that it matters much.
I would like to use a character I once had in a Rise of the Runelords game. We never got past the first fight in sandpoint with the goblins so I really have no knowledge of the AP.
Here is Xogar. If you would be willing, the original build had the archetype Redeemer from the advanced race guide. Would you be willing to let me keep it? I really like the way he turns out with this.
He also has the Warrior of the Holy Light archetype as well.
I altered the gear, money, and the additions you mention in the opening post to match this game.
Comliness roll:
4d6Comeliness Total: 19
Please tell me what you think.
Ugh, I just checked the link for Xogar and realized that it just let back here. I fixed it.
I have to admit, I find Sethran quite OFFENSIVE!
Decided to say screw it and try to make an evil character anyway. Presenting Kyra Arkona, Hungry Ghost Monk.
Barbarian, Bard*, Fighter, Rogue
Sorcerer, Magus, Cleric*, Oracle
Bard* or Cleric
Human, Half elf, Halfling, Kitsune*
archtypes: Archaeologist*, Sandman, Daredevil, Street Performer
The dice want me to make a Kitsune as well...I'll see if I can come up with a solid enough background to sell the concept.
@Sethran: I like what I see, but I'm a tad confused about what's going on. Can you post ONE more coherent background without some ooc stuff mixed in there?
@Noro: Why wouldn't she simply be arrested for beating up two children in the street instead of getting a job? Also, would you want the brother to be involved in the campaign in any way?
@Temerith: You are aware that the purpose of this campaign is to STOP runelords, right? And your character wants to become one? Also, you just found ancient Thassilonian tablets...what, sitting on the ground in a bush? Clarify?
@Davorik: Where is he from? Yes, that alternate racial trait is just fine. In terms of initiative, I generally have everyone post what their action is and then compile a summary post of what happened that round before declaring the next. Oh, another question about your character. How did he find out about his home town, and what was his initial reaction? Thirdly, how can he reconcile his obligation to his town guard job?
@Arturus: Is he using the middle-aged stat modifications? How did he survive the green dragon attack when nobody else did? How would he react to...er...SMALL game? Would he be motivated to adventure again for less than huge mythical creatures?
@Suny: I'm a bit confused. Is your character an aquatic elf fighter? Why would she live on land?
@Eryda: How are you planning to have your oracle communicate with other people?
@Grand Moff Vixen: Those archetypes are totally dandy. However, many of the creatures in this campaign are monstrous. Would he plan to try and diplomatize all of them? Is there a circumstance in which he wouldn't?
@Kyra: The Arkona family is not really an appropriate family to be descended from. Sorry, spoilers, but they're rakshasas, and as I can see, you are not a rakshasa. Besides that, is she self-motivated at all or does she only do what her parents tell her to do?
ONE DAY I'm gone and THIS. Jeez. Gotta say that I like it.
@Grand Moff Vixen: Those archetypes are totally dandy. However, many of the creatures in this campaign are monstrous. Would he plan to try and diplomatize all of them? Is there a circumstance in which he wouldn't?
a half-orc paladin recognizes that often] those who are monstrous are not necessarily evil and that sometimes even those who are evil became that way because of circumstances and misfortune.
I think the line from the Redeemer archetype sums it up nicely.
Xogar would not try to reason with all of them. He understands when it is time to fight and when it is time to talk. The art of diplomacy is knowing when to talk and when to fight.
@Noro: Why wouldn't she simply be arrested for beating up two children in the street instead of getting a job? Also, would you want the brother to be involved in the campaign in any way?
ONE DAY I'm gone and THIS. Jeez. Gotta say that I like it.
to be honest, that was left out to condense the story a little. so best way to answer that is she most likely was arrested but when you are a person of interest with organized criminal family (mafia) you tend to have a quick release.
as far as Lou goes, I do have a character sheet for him but other than cameo as the cook at the Rusty dragon he should have to other involvement in the story. Lou was actually designed for a Jade regent game but after over a year he has yet to get into one that has gone anywhere.
I have a few minor questions for you, Lein.
First off, do you mind a player who is going to be running his own RotR soon, and as such, knows quite a bit about the campaign? As long as the player is willing to keep player knowledge different from character knowledge, of course. (And to be fair, mine is a Psionic Rise of the Runelords, so its a bit different)
Second off, what is the deadline for character submissions?
And thirdly... I forgot what I was going to ask for thirdly..
I don't mind, as long as you aren't a cheatyface and you're active and you've got an interesting character.
Well, it's probably going to be another four or five days as I focus on character development, but I'm not setting a definite deadline. You're going to know when it's soon, when I select characters that I DEFINITELY want, but the deadline is when I have a full party.
its called fighting fire with fire and heres the story on the tablets to clarify. Also do remember that the Runelords were pretty much at each other throats. And a question GM for a wizard are you looking for a trickster or a battle mage(if so I can readjust or create a new character)?
Temerith gingerly walked down the path from Sandpoint he haad walked a total of thirty miles in five days. He had in all ways become sick of Sandpoint, the abuse, beatings and mockery were more then he could stomach. To this end Temerith had begun wandering and had walked the down this old, dusty road towards...somewhere. He then found a sideroad and what looked like from his vantage point a forsaken house on a hill. He walked up to the house and examined it's outside area for signs of whether or not it was inhabited. It was not the roof had holes in it the sise of melons, the windows had long since collasped and the door was a just a few hunks of wood in the entrance. Temerith carefully entered looking for signs of whether it was simply decay or a battle that had caused the cottage to look like a ruin.
No battle had done the place in, food on the table was rotting and the place smelled of death. He entered the center room of the cottage where the smell was the thickest. The corpse was that of a wizard his flesh was rotting, his eyes had been pecked out and his hands rested near a set of tablets. The tablets were engraved with beautiful writing, they were obviously old yet they showed no signs of where. They were perfect slabs of black marble with golden writing. In curiosity Temerith touched one and his mind was sucked in...to another time and place.
So another comes to my home, seeking knowledge of an age where magic ruled supreme and men were mighty. But first you must prove yourself worthy.
The speaker was a woman in stunning robes of emerald, sapphire and teal. Her hair also seemed to be a shimmering mass of colors, like a rainbow. Her eye's were the most striking feature, for they glimmered with a proud and mighty intellect. The eyes were also judging him...for what reason he did not know. She then made a motion with her hands and I saw something enter my field of vision. It was horrible, a beast of massed writhing tentacles and it was charging towards me. I then remembered what the woman had said and I listened, their was no noise just the image and that was all it was...an image. I simply stood their waiting for the beast to charge through me and so it did, I fealt nothing as it's sprectral form ran through me.
The speaker's eyes seemed to narrow and inquire of me then she made an approving nod at me.You are not even versed in the basics of magic yet you recognized what that was, you are worthy of being taught the secrets of the Runelords...assuming you can keep up. Now sit before me your lessons begin now, fail and I will rend your mind apart succeed and I can ensure you that you will rise to great heights. You may even raise yourself to be the next Runelord of Pride...assuming you actully are intelligent for that may have simply been a fluke of luck. The question is will you prove me wrong or right?
I don't mind, as long as you aren't a cheatyface and you're active and you've got an interesting character.
No cheatyfacing here. Even if I know what to expect, I play my character based on what HE would do in any given situation, even if it gimps me. Like playing a Goblin Cleric back in the day and playing like a goblin.. even if it nearly got me killed a dozen times (and finally succeeded once).
As for what kind of character I would make.. I might bring back my old RotR character that was in a campaign that fell apart extremely early on.. he's a Shoanti Oracle/Sorcerer. Since we didn't get past level 1, he was still only an Oracle at the time.
That.. or I might bring in a Gnome Enchanter who goes Bloatmage. Fat little tub of lard who yells at his minions to do his work for him while he (at low levels) waddles around or (at high levels) floats around.
@leinathan
Do you have an example of a character you definitely wanted into your campaign? You make me curious as to what kind of application that would be.
Also if we have some more time I'm giving Korham's background some more thought, perhaps elaborate on some events some more.
I want what you want, in terms of crunch, but I would like an actually complete crunch in his profile, as opposed to what you have.
Was the runelord actually contained within the tablets or was it something else?
How did the wizard die?
So I'm guessing that your character is Evil...how can you prove that he'll prove nice, given that he's a selfish and power-hungry wizard looking to rule the world?
Hehehe a gnome bloatmage is a concept that thoroughly amuses me, I have to say.
A character that I definitely would want is a character that I would not have to motivate to complete the goals of the campaign, that would play nice with other party members and would be interesting to interact with, both as GM and as other PCs, and would have a substantive contribution to the party, mechanically.
Well, perhaps I should give my Oracle of Stone another thought through, monks tend to be somewhat underrated still.
@Kyra: The Arkona family is not really an appropriate family to be descended from. Sorry, spoilers, but they're rakshasas, and as I can see, you are not a rakshasa. Besides that, is she self-motivated at all or does she only do what her parents tell her to do?
They aren't all Rakshasas. The Guide to Korvosa lists them as having a population of something like 20-25% who are human. And goes so far as to mention that a lot of their more brutal members have been humans who didn't want to be outdone by the Rakhasa family members. I can definitely up the motivations more, provided you think the family is okay? Otherwise I can figure something else out entirely.
@Arturus: Is he using the middle-aged stat modifications?
Aye. I'm not so sharp as I once was, but capable enough. Good enough to eyeball a gobbo at 30 yards, at that!
How did he survive the green dragon attack when nobody else did?
I wasn't the only survivor, but of me band of twenty-five - good lads, all of em, if a little green(mostly 1st and 2nd level experts) - only me and a couple others survived. We were ambushed! We had pursued an enraged owlbear into a vast swamp - it had been terrorizing some locals - when this great hulk of a beast came out of nowhere, spraying acid and bellowing! Fortunately for me, I and a few others were out gathering wood and searching for tracks and owlbear-sign - it's too bad we didn't see the dragon-sign previously...truth be told, we heard the dragon, ran to the edge of camp, and immediately fled. It is my great shame that I didn't try to help those poor sods. I went straight back to Restov, wrote a report and a resignation, and immediately retired back to Sandpoint.
OOC: Arturus has the "Doubt" drawback to reflect this intense shame and lack of self-confidence.
How would he react to...er...SMALL game? Would he be motivated to adventure again for less than huge mythical creatures?
Small game is me bread and butter these days. I hunt to earn my keep, and a few silvers besides - mostly meat and pelts. If the Guild or the Militia has troubles - gobbos, ferocious beasties, miscreants, etc - I've been known to help as I can. *Arturus sighs* It's not exciting, but it pays the bills, and earns me more than enough favors around town. Seeking adventure is a young man's game, though. I'll not be looking for a grand hunt any time soon.
OOC: He needs a solid small-time adventure to build up his confidence. He is definitely looking for the right opportunity to redeem himself, but more likely than not would need to be thrust into it. If Sandpoint or its citizens were in danger, for example, he would certainly rise to the occasion.
Here is the updated list of submissions so far; again hope it's not missing anyone:
Pick - Duergar Rogue
Mongrrrym - Dwarf Ranger
A'letta - Shoanti Oracle
Arteaxe Fireforge - Dwarf Paladin
Boss Loruk - Half Orc Urban Ranger
Korham Ashia - Shoanti Monk
Khalbar Bloodsong - Shoanti Barbarian
Rhanloi - half-elf Wizard
Sethren - elf Wizard
Lady Pasara - Human Paladin
"Lucky" Finn - Human cleric of Desna
Cyrene- elf alchemist
Syrma - halfling oracle
Noro Kasuri - human barbarian
Temerith Rhunn - Tieflng wizard
Davorik - human 2 weapon fighter
Xogar - paladin
Arturrus - Inquisitor of Abadar
Yunnie - either a halfling oracle or gnome bard (either way not very tall)
Kyra Arkona - evil Monk
I think that's up to date so far. DM, can you say anyone is either definitely in or definitely out at this point to narrow down the list a little? What about party size 4,5,6?
In that case, I have another question for Kyra - is she a vassal of the Arkona family that knows they're rakshasas or not? I think its fine, I suppose, but as far as I understood, the humans that live in the Arkona home are more...dominated slaves or humans that think the Arkonas are humans.
Sethran can help trick out a Monk. Maybe combat maneuvers, against small foes at first, then tripping giants? Very cool.
Can craft Bracers of Brawling, sweet! Gadgets... Tools of the trade.
I was thinking party size 5. I haven't quite decided on anyone for sure, but there are certainly frontrunners and people that I'm not considering at all. Not gonna reveal those, of course, cause spoilers...I'll reveal it when I'm down to about 8-10 people...but holy crap, 20 submissions.

She certainly needn't know. I think it's more interesting that way.
The slavery bit is interesting, though. I hadn't read/considered that. I'll mull it over and see if I come up with a better relationship. I hadn't wanted to get too into the family, but a bit more might be okay.
