The premise of the game is something like Dirty Dozen. Someone chose a number of people who are certainly not good, but not exactly pure evil to do a job that needs to be done. Perhaps on Golarion, perhaps on some other world completely.
For the story reasons, I'd need a character tied to Hellknights, a Winter Witch from Irissen, a drow and a dhampir or another vampire-themed character, with ties to Ustalav.
I need four characters minimum, but am prepared to accept twice as many if there's interest. All characters must be thematically tied to one of Paizo's APs. Advanced races such as Kasatha are allowed, but with a solid background.
Character Creation Rules
Everything by Paizo. 3pp on case to case basis.
Roll 4d6 drop the lowest 8 times, choose best 6
1st level.
No traits - bonus feat instead.
The game is an adventure that will take the characters to 3rd level. After that we may end the game or make it into a campaign, depending on everyone's feeling at the time.
Sounds interesting!
Sounds interesting. Would you be looking at characters who are Evil but barely, and pragmatic enough to work together, or more looking for Neutral-spectrum antiheroes? Either way I'm intrigued enough to do some rolls.

Uh. 17, 15, 12, 11, 9, 9. Good at two things. Fairly average at a couple others. Kinda crappy at the rest. Hmm.

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring as the Dhampir / Vampire character. I'm not super sure how I'd like to build it. Bloodrager seems like it could be a lot of fun, but there isn't a Bloodline that really fits. Draconic gets claws, which is nice. Sorcerer does have a Vampiric Bloodline, so that could work, too. If secret identities are important, changing a bit of the fluff on the new Vigilante (Warlock Spec) could work. Definitely one of the three, I am just not sure which.
Hi Nightflier. Hope things are doing well with you. Let me roll some stats, and see what evil (Or semi evil) ideas pop into my head.
15,14,14,13,12,12 Very average, but workable. Let see what percolates.
Are you familiar with the "Shadowsworn" from Kobolds "Players guide to the crossroads"... and if so would that be acceptable?
How about this?

I may try to come up with an aspiring Hellknight.
What kind of a tie to previous APs are you looking for?
Any problem with someone taking extra traits as a feat to get traits?
Average starting wealth?
would a goblin be cool? Hailing from We Be Goblins/Rise of the Runelords?
Id revamp this guy if so.

By clicking on my profile you'll find a link to my house rules. There you can find a Morgral race. It's my own replacement for Dhampir. You can take it instead of normal race, if you like of course.

@all
1) If you are not satisfied with your first set of rolls, simply roll another one. The goal is to have fun.
2) Characters can be evil, but not CE. Also, no CN and CG alignments.
3) Your characters should be thematically tied to one of the APs. For instance, Hellknight could be tied to CotCT, Winter Witch (obviously) to RoW, or you could make a technobarbarian from Iron Gods. This is just fluff and the purpose is to have a very diverse set of characters in the party, from different parts of Golarion.
4) Max starting wealth.
5) No traits. Your character will receive a campaign trait specific to him/her/it.
6) Goblin is fine.
Not unhappy with the rolls, but might as well try again...
(18,17,17,14,14,12)Ummmm. That's almost sinfully good :-)
I'll re-do the character with the new scores. I think he'll be tied to the Second Darkness setting.
PS: I'll also check out the Nightblade

Guess I'm leaning toward a Nagaji draconic bloodrager (or sorc) with ties to the Jade Regent AP.
Anyone else interested in playing as a set of friends/relatives with PC's designed to work together with maybe some teamwork feats in the build plans?

17, 16, 16, 15, 12, 11. Much more doable, opens up a lot more options.
Also, am I to take it (from one your posts) that we can submit characters linked to any AP, you just ALSO want a Hellknight, Winter Witch, Dhampir and Drow? Because if that's the case I'd love to do something based on Jade Regent. You don't happen to have access to the Heroes of the East supplements from Little Red Goblin Games, do you? Because I'd love to use some of the stuff in those.
Interested. Will think up a concept while at work.
Will definitely create a Winter Witch, as I'm very familiar with Reign of Winter and I love the flavor of the area. It'll take awhile to go through all those houserules, but here's my rolls for stats.

Just purchased the Nightblade class. Looks good so far... I'll have to compare
What exactly do you mean by 'must be thematically tied to an AP'?

What exactly do you mean by 'must be thematically tied to an AP'?
Well, certain classes or races are tied to certain APs. Second Darkness has drows. Reign of Winter has Witches. Iron Kings have androids, barbarians that use technology and Kasatha. Carrion Crown has Dhampirs, while Council of Thieves has Tieflings. Jade Regent has ninjas, samurais and number of races.
And all of those races/classes are (generally) from different parts of the Inner Sea (which I want to have in this party).
Edit: Perhaps I can make this clearer: Just create a character you'd like to play in an AP and present it like it was made for a specific AP.
Ok, the way I read I thought we had to have liked failed the start of the AP or something.
Thanks for the clarification!
Soooo what about more aloof races like Sylph, would that be allowed?
Can I get a re-roll?
*sigh*

= 13
= 16

17, 16, 16, 15, 15, 14 Amazing stats, now what to choose?
Okay, so if I'm presenting this character as though it were for an AP, that would change the exact ways I would set up the character--for example, I usually wouldn't create a Tien character for Jade Regent as it stands, since it's about moving from West to East (so to speak). But if by that you mean a character who is very fitting for the AP's general themes and such, I'd be fully up for making a samurai type.
Anyway, any word on the 3PP supplements I mentioned? If you'd rather I didn't, I might see about some of the stuff on the d20pfsrd, or just do something else... Would you be willing to let me apply the Daring Champion archetype to the Samurai alternate class for the Cavalier? Going on a one-for-one level-for-level basis, it would replace Mount, Weapon Expertise, Mounted Archer, Honorable Stand, and Last Stand features.
Went Drow Sorcerer.
Hope you like the submission Nightflier, I have not played in one of your games since an Eberron offering petered out a while back! :-)

Tamar is the third son of Matron Moivas. Tamar had the unenviable distinction of being on watch when a group of adventurer’s from the surface infiltrated Zirnakaynin to foil the plots of the Drow hierarchy seeking the so called Second Darkness.
Miraculously, Tamar survived the attack of the cowardly surface dwellers. His living and failing raised the ire of his Mother who banished him to the surface bidding him to hunt down the interlopers and bring her their heads, or die trying.
Tamar has spent his time on the surface gathering information related to the surface dwellers as he has no desire to tangle with the group which once laid him low with ease. At least, not yet.
---===Appearance and Personality===---
Tamar dresses in fine clothing but wears a glove and cowl to hide his heritage where possible.
He has soft silver hair, green/blue eyes and a slight build though his legs are rather muscular due to the amount of running he has done lately…
For clarification, are you using all of the houserules and your homebrew setting?
