Varzel Vinnick here, will add crunch and fluff later. just posting meh alias.
to all... you can call me vivi :3
GM, are you allowing the advanced schools, such as Void school?
He is all finished, all three questions should be covered in my backstory, but in case it it not clear I will answer them here.
1. Visual description of character (feel free to post link to images if you have something specific in mind) and also adding personality
His avatar describes his looks a lot, I also posted a height and weight in his profile. He is 125, but he is also and elf and elves age a lot slower than humans. But he is also fast and will sometimes rush into things and and do so while avoiding all the traps and a lot of danger.
2. Why do you care about tomb exploring? Why risk death at the hands of ancient traps or untold horrors buried away? Isn't there an easier way for your character to make a living? Is it just greed for gold or something else?
Aleon loves exploring is fasinated by the undead and lives for danger. It is not the money that motivates him, the money would be nice, but it's Aleons love for thing that drives. He appreciates well planned traps and will try to do anything he can to avoid them.
3. Brief history as to how you heard about lottery and came to be in Wati
He came to Wati in a contest, the winner would go to Wati, the coliseum paid for his trip there, he also has a note for the king there for his permission to explore the tombs.
Other stuff, he is a gunslinger, but he also loves animals and excels at two-weapon fighting as well and he plans to multi-class Gunslinger-Ranger. He will be good at both guns and swords, not quite as good as a gun as other gunslingers as multi-classing means not as specializing, but pretty darn good.
Although he starts out with the rifle, I plan on getting the pepperbox for him eventually 3000 GP.

Well it looks like tough compitition, but Farooq would like to toss his hat into the ring.
Farooq the Flamible is a middle aged human wizard and scholar. Crunch is mostly done in the profile and here is his fluff reposted:
In short, Farooq is a distracted scholar. He is prone to deep contemplation when not actively engaged, and has the tendency to trip over things in plain sight and walk into door jambs or markets stands. In conversation, he has a plethora of useful tidbits of arcane knowledge and is more than happy to ramble on until someone tells him to stop. He believes that knowledge must be shared so that it is not lost and freely gives up his, whether anyone has asked or not.
Farooq's family have always adhered to the old ways. As a devotee of Ra, he has spent a life time looking for information regarding the ancient deity and seeking out his long lost places of worship. With the shift in policy over the last few years, Farooq has been taking advantage of the increased access to once restricted tombs and necropolises. The great necropolis of Wati has drawn him to the city with the hope of gaining access to the untouched relics and remnants of his lost religion. Rumours of the undead monstrosities lurking behind the wall have put him on the look out for stout fellows watch his back as we investigates the ruins.
Here is a almost Very Finished Vinnick, I changed some things to match his background. I have high hopes for this guy! also changed his name around, it sounds much better now imo.
Pretty sure it's emerging. I had asked about the availability of advanced later in the game and never got an answer, so I"m just going to assume no and early is it.
Alzaar waits near the area where the lottery results are revealed, casually tossing a dagger in the air and catching, over and over. His eyes scour the crowd, gazing at his competition.
Too much new blood... Half of these kids will fall to the first trap they come across. I wish them well, though. He thinks to himself, seeing the mass if foreigners at this particular lottery drawing.
He deftly sheathes his dagger after a while, and starts making his way to a stall that is selling cold water.
DM, any chance we can have a roleplay test in dicussion. For reasons I feel character creation and backstory alone does not do enough justice.
D-Kal: early firearms only
Aleon: no rp necessary, will select based on concept and utility
well then full concept, gunslinger-guntank 12-13 and ranger 6-7, going for undead as first favored enemy on top of the trait I have. Going to excel at both melee in ranged, not as specialized, but I have both if needed, and with heavy armor on and d10, he can take a hit. I'm even looking over the list of ranger spells deciding which ones will help me later on. Has on hot outfit, and at total of +7 against hot effects, desert runner, after all, tombs are found in the desert=}
Overcourse though, I'm sure though I have explained my concept through backstory and my last post of answering the three questions.
To all, good luck. Will have fun roleplaying with just about anyone if accepted, if not, maybe I'll see you in the future =).
Hey Lucendar, its Baolo, applying with Naomi Zeitoun, a warpriest of Pharasma.
Well, concept for K'kleera is pretty straightforward. She's an archaeologist in the styling of a certain individual who wears a felt fedora and carries a bullwhip. :) She has a love of history and while she isn't adverse to collecting a little fortune and glory for herself, her primary goal is to collect artifacts for the museums.
Alzaar is going to be a knowledge monkey and a trip/disarm build. With the way I have him set up and the progression I'll take with him he'll be mechanically sound, useful in and out of combat (with skills out the wazoo and a solid chance to trip and disarm almost anything he encounters), and have all the rogue-y goodness we'll need for traps and secret doors and the like. Spells are just icing on the cake.
If it'll help him get recruited, I can even give him a William Shatner accent.
Vinnick will do a bit of everything. Know. Skills. Combat utility, utility, what have you. And him and his raven shall provide comic relief as necessary
Izora will focus mostly on melee, though she'll have plenty to say regarding monster lore and some spell utility in combat.
Hoping for some good news when the selected party is announced tomorrow - good luck everyone!
Krig Grimheart - Dwarf ranger (Dungeon Rover) Concept:
Combat focus: His main focus will be hunting with his crossbow, but when it comes to melee he will switch to attacking with 2-weapons which he is already quite skilled at.
Scorpion whisperer: I am planning to choose a giant scorpion for his 4th level animal companion. (I admit, the giant slug was tempting from a comical point of view, but the scorpion just seems to be more fitting of the campaign).
Skill focus: As an aspiring archaeologist. his knowledge skills (engineering, geology and dungeoneering) will be his primary focus.
Vinnick (vivi) has a motto, kinda.
knowledge without experience is useless, and experience without knowledge is foundationless.
Here is my undead hunter inquisitor, as promised.
I'll clean up the submission tomorrow.
Greyston is a physician/researcher he has some knowledge's/skills like heal but he'll be maxing out disable device/perception, hes main focus is support melee.
I'll also help the group with brew potion when we have a few hours downtime i'll be making up quite a few.
I've had a look through the submissions and there are some really good idea's here.
Less than 9 hours to deadline. Lots of great concepts here. I have some really hard decisions to make! 23 applications for 4-5 slots! Oh boy! I really appreciate the turnout!

Hmmm 4d23 to the rescue!
Seriously Lucendar, you have a tough job.
Good luck everyone.
Hmmm 4d23 to the rescue!
Seriously Lucendar, you have a tough job.
Good luck everyone.
some dms actually do recruit that way. Though if All turned out to be the same class or all pure melee fighters, I would say roll 1d4 or 2d4 to determine which ones and then reroll 2d23. Not that Lucendar would do it that way, but if you are doing it that way, you might have to reroll or roll another die to determine which ones get the higher result. It would make decisions easier, but you would have to make sure things are balanced, and you may have to roll several dice.
Lucendar, please let me know if you have any questions about Jalal. I haven't had the time to polish the crunch, but I certainly would if he's chosen.
Jalal is a warrior-type, spurred on by his failure to save his uncle and his own cowardice as a child. He's learning to use his ancestral connections to help him in battle. As a Lorekeeper, he'll be gaining mostly defensive or unique utility spells like Haste or Fly from the wizard list.
Hey all, I've suddenly got plans for tonight, so I will close recruitment at 5:00 pm EST (less than 2 hours away) and post the selections shortly thereafter. I don't think anyone will be cry foul because I closed recruitment 3 hours early. And if they do, you should not wait till last minute! :)
Best of luck to everyone!

I think you missed Farooq from your updated submission list. He is very much still interested.
Just about an hour left. Good luck to everyone!

Sorry about that Farooq. 24 applicants then.
