Also, I'd love it if you guys can tell me what tier you'd like! What characters are you planning to haul to this shindig? I see that Grigorii has dotted in. Grigorii, are you still level 8?
Hmm
Alright, let's go with 10-11. Grigorii is an utter delight. I'd love to GM for him again!
I'm pretty sure that everyone else here has characters who can accomodate those levels.
Hmm

In the 10 - 11 I only have 2 currently (and one is a teamwork build that I play with my brother) so I'll break out Tink Tink. I need to update him some and will soon.

Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Tengu Unchained Rogue (Okeno Liberator) 4/Unchained Monk 6
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day Job Roll, if any: None
1) Any special rules, boons, or corner cases you need to let me know about: He has and uses Pummeling Style/Pummeling Bully to get free action trip attempts and has greater trip to get everyone threatening AoO's when he trips things. (Also he uses unarmed strike's with DEX to hit and Damage from Unchained Rogue). Also has a Lissalan mark that he got while undercover that raises his Dex by 2 for a year.
2) A few sentences about your character and his or her previous adventures, both out of character and in character as your character would describe him or herself. Why are you in the society? Tink Tink is more defensive than offensive, though he can do both well. He is mostly around to protect his allies and free those wrongfully imprisoned or enslaved, though he doesn't have a problem with people being lawfully imprisoned. He's a former illegal captured slave who freed himself and others, though he does see room for there to be indentured servants that are legally acquired as well, while he doesn't like it, he also doesn't combat that form of imprisonment. Tink Tink is named for the sound he makes as he uses his beak (not bite) to hit people he goes Tink Tink they go Tunk.
3) May I bot you in combat or for an occasional skill check to ensure a fast moving game? Of course
4) What are your go-to combat tactics for botting purposes?
(Feel free to also include this on your character sheet, where you can even have your dice rolls ready to go.) Front-line Tank/DPS generally will trip things to make them easier to hit and provoke AoOs
5) Will you be able to post 2-3 times a day on average, barring occasional days off (Cons, Work, Short Vacations, etc?) Yep.
My level 11 is currently booked. I have two level 9's open, a skill focused rogue/ranger, and a gnome Illusionist. Neither are big damage dealers. Is there one that the group would prefer?

Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Half-Orc Skald 10
Faction: Dark Archive
Day Job Roll, if any:
____
1) Any special rules, boons, or corner cases you need to let me know about:
I have two unique items, Glorymane and an Amulet of Armored Fists. The amulet is just a custom item from #7-03 that combines an Amulet of Natural Armor with a cruel, menacing Amulet of Mighty Fists. I have a bite attack now!
Glorymane is an intelligent lion shield. He can only communicate empathically, but he can activate himself and counts as a creature for spell effects (such as haste).
I provide DR 1/- when rage singing now, and have the Guarded Life rage power to hopefully prevent accidental raging deaths.
2) A few sentences about your character and his or her previous adventures, both out of character and in character as your character would describe him or herself. Why are you in the society?
Since the events in Dustpawn, Grigorii has been to Osirion twice, seeking the lost sage jewels. He has been travelling with a cleric of Gorum, which has renewed his faith and thirst for battle. Battles Grigorii plans to turn into more songs.
Grigorii was never the strongest fighter in his youth, but when you grow up in the fighting pits of Ostenso you learn to win or you die. He learned to keep strong friends around and to ...encourage them to fight they're best. Despite his smaller stature, he had quite the fearsome reputation. It must have caught the attention of the local shaman, because he took young Grigorii in and taught him the ways of spirits and magic and battle. Now, he uses what he was taught to aid his comrades in battle as he seeks dangerous magical artifacts to study and control.
"Only the strong survive to be in song. In strength is glory."
3) May I bot you in combat or for an occasional skill check to ensure a fast moving game?
Please do.
4) What are your go-to combat tactics for botting purposes?
(Feel free to also include this on your character sheet, where you can even have your dice rolls ready to go.)
round 1: start singing (move), buff party (haste, good hope, or moment of greatness)
rounds 2+: full attack, or move and attack
*: if unable to attack, Intimidate
5) Will you be able to post 2-3 times a day on average, barring occasional days off (Cons, Work, Short Vacations, etc?)
I check the forums 2-3 times most days.
--------------------------
I would say rogue/ranger, but I am selfish and want people to rage and flank (menacing bite). Plus, Shel is a delight to torment.

I was wrong, he's level 11 (Rogue 4/ Monk 7), I'll probably need to update a couple last things (purchases/gold/fame) but everything else I believe should be correct.

Character name: Magnus Landros
PFS# 74294-2
Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Human (Taldan) Paladin of Aroden (I mean Abadar, see below) 12
Faction: Sovereign Court.
Day Job Roll, if any:
____
1) Any special rules, boons, or corner cases you need to let me know about:
To start with, he has greater mercy and ultimate mercy. The former means when he lays on hands w/o needing to use a mercy, he gets an extra die. The latter allows him to raise dead for 10 LoH uses. If he does not use the material components, he takes a negative level.
He also has 7 meditation crystals. You channel into these, and for 24 hours they hold a charge that can be used to retrieve a use of lay on hands (or ki)
His favorite spell is heroes defiance... As an immediate action he can lay on hands on himself, at an additional +1d6, and it can reverse his death.
Houston got channeled revival, which means he can use three channels (6 lay on hands) to cast breath of life on a target.
2) A few sentences about your character and his or her previous adventures, both out of character and in character as your character would describe him or herself. Why are you in the society?
Magnus is from an ancient Taldan family who used to worship Aroden. I the years since Aroden's death, his family has fallen into disrepute, and although his twin sister, Natalia, channels the power of Aroden, his calling was to the Lord of the Fiest Vault. Abadar has proven to be forgiving of Magnus, and has kept him alive even in the most dire circumstances.
Magnus is a straight and narrow kind of guy. If a plan is made, he will follow it. If he is to go somewhere. He will take the shortest possible path. He is honest to a fault, but a perfect teammate (well, at least he tries).
Perhaps his single most deed of heroics was when he (and his team) tacked a huge black dragon that was threatening the grand lodge. With the he help of his team he was able to charge the wyrm, flying, with many defensive spells. His blade struck true, especially in the final moments,where he had already been forced to use heroes defiance. And the truck critical blows three times in a row to fell the beast,msaving the day for his team, and all other teams defending Absalom!
3) May I bot you in combat or for an occasional skill check to ensure a fast moving game?
If needed, but shouldn't be needed.
4) What are your go-to combat tactics for botting purposes?
(Feel free to also include this on your character sheet, where you can even have your dice rolls ready to go.)
He is pretty straightforward. If in combat, he will attack the most powerful for without regards to his own health. If he remembers, he first thing he is supposed to do in a fight is cast shield on himself with his wand (he has had the wand for 5 levels and only used 6 charges). If wounded by half or more, he will lay hands upon himself to heal.
If he knows the target to be evil, he will smite (though never against mooks)
5) Will you be able to post 2-3 times a day on average, barring occasional days off (Cons, Work, Short Vacations, etc?)
Probably.
If we have a rogue already, I'll bring my illusionist. I'll get the bio post up there this afternoon.

Character name: Pai Kromnite PFS
PFS# 12445-5
Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Gnome/ Illusionist 9
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job Roll, if any: None.
____
1) Any special rules, boons, or corner cases you need to let me know about: Nope.
2) A few sentences about your character and his or her previous adventures, both out of character and in character as your character would describe him or herself. Why are you in the society? Pai has tackled most of Thornkeep before the group of adventurers broke up. She'd like to get back there and clean out the rest of it before she retires from Society business. Like most gnomes, she seeks out fun and interesting activities at all times, and what is more fun than exploring old places looking for lost knowledge?!
3) May I bot you in combat or for an occasional skill check to ensure a fast moving game? Of course.
4) What are your go-to combat tactics for botting purposes? Pai is a pure caster. She doesn't mind to fling any spell, and doesn't keep any in reserve. She also has a 5th level wand of Magic Missiles, for some pew pew pew goodness when a creature might not be effected by her spell.
5) Will you be able to post 2-3 times a day on average, barring occasional days off (Cons, Work, Short Vacations, etc?) Generally yes. My schedule is a bit busier than normal these last couple of months, but on days I am locked up, I will definitely let you know.
Hey Gang,
Is it okay if we start 2 days late? After the breakneck pace of Sky Key Solution, I am going to want two days off to just catch my breath.
Hmm

Oh, I can totally do that!
I could probably start you guys off on Saturday if you wanted time to converse. Does that sound good?
Hmm
I'll play my TWF, fighter/rogue. I'll have time to fully get his info to you tomorrow.
Okay great! Also get an avatar for this guy. I need the avatar to visualize!
It's great to see everyone checking in.
Hmm

Just as a quick warning, Vendel, Magnus will not like the use of poisons. Not saying that you shouldn't use them, but just keep it in mind. Also, Abadar is all about LAW, Civilization, and Commerce, so chaos is as anathema to Magnus as evil is.
However, he also follows orders, and wouldn't even think of crossing any of you. Or judging. Much. Unless you are Qadiran. Or Chelish. Or maybe Andoran.

So... If you look at my profile header, you see that I've already started the slide show for Kortos Envoy. Which means that Keith and Andy need to get me avatars and characters and stuff, and the rest of you need to prove you pass the player dexterity test.
Can you move your avatar into the box?
(Gerald, I just moved you. Because I know that you and slides don't get along. Do you have a mini for your buddy? Should I create one?)
Hmm

PFS# 724
Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Fighter (two-weapon fighter) 8 / Rogue (unchained, poisoner) 3
Faction: Exchange (Szcarni)
Day Job Roll, if any: Sleight of Hand +11 (Underground Business +1, Front +2, Thieves Guild +3, Property Broker +4 (situational)) for a total of +17 (+21 situational).
____
1) Any special rules, boons, or corner cases you need to let me know about:
Pretty straight forward. Two-Weapon Fighter (Gets +2 Dodge Bonus to AC if he made a full round attack in the previous round).
Has Disruptive. All enemies he threatens have +4 to Concentration Checks to cast defensively.
Has Step Up and will make use of it in most circumstances.
Has Compression and can move in areas 1/4 his size normally, and can fight while prone normally.
2) A few sentences about your character and his or her previous adventures, both out of character and in character as your character would describe him or herself. Why are you in the society?
He's a normal guy from the hood, if you know what I mean. He works for a made man, and became made himself a few years ago, if you know what I mean.
3) May I bot you in combat or for an occasional skill check to ensure a fast moving game?
Yes
4) What are your go-to combat tactics for botting purposes?
(Feel free to also include this on your character sheet, where you can even have your dice rolls ready to go.)
Two-Weapon Fighting. If full attack, get +1 to hit and +1 damage on all attacks. Will always try to get flank for sneak attack.
Will also make judicious use of his burrow speed where it makes sense to do so. Especially if this allows him to get a sneak attack.
Will always have a dose of poison on his weapons when going into combat. Usually Wasp on one and Scorpion on the other. Since Magnus has already been officious, he will use Sleight of Hand to try and hide the fact he's putting poison on his weapons when necessary.
5) Will you be able to post 2-3 times a day on average, barring occasional days off (Cons, Work, Short Vacations, etc?)
I will do my best. Although the best times for me are after work. During work I have to post from my phone, which is difficult, but I can make short posts to move things along that way.

Inspired Rage Bonuses: +4 Str/Con, +3 morale Will, 1 DR/-, -1 AC
Lesser Spirit Totem: Spirits make slam attack on your turn
Spirit Totem: gain 20% concealment vs. non-adjacent attacks
Guarded Life: 10hp damage converted to nonlethal when you drop below 0
I usually keep heroism up on myself, and I'm willing to buy some platinum rings if someone wants to benefit from shield other. I have fast healing while I sing.

So, Magnus does pack Paladin's Sacrifice, for those occasions that someone is going down. He also has Litany of Righteousness, though it looks like he may be the only one that can take advantage of it.
I am swapping out cure blindness for resist energy, communal.
Oh, and while Magnus carries a wand of shield he does tend to forget to use it.
Huh, +3 to his sacred bond... that will be interesting...

Are you planning to accept the rage song? It is a rage ability, so you cannot cast while under its effects, which would preclude immediate action emergency spells. But, you can choose whether or not you rage at the beginning of each round if you do want to cast something.
Good point. Won't stop SU powers such as LoH, though, from what I understand, though I really hadn't thought much about it. He'll have to decide round by round if he is accepting the rage song, depending on the tactical situation.

I'm taking Wednesday OFF. I will be starting this game for real on either Thursday or Friday, but I need to reset my brain after the special!
See you all then.
Hmm

Don't mean to pick on you, Vendel. Grigorii is just uncomfortable with a new group and misses his old friends. He's a bit skeptical about bathrobe-wearing birds, paladins who keep their eyes open, and fighting fans. He's never seen fighting fans in action. He'll warm up once we've proven ourselves in combat. You could win him over if you roll to demonstrate your fan work.
Hey all, I'm putting together some last minute prep -- we'll be starting tonight. Just so you know, I will be handing out two old faction missions, primarily because they amuse me.
Also, have any of these characters done Delirium's Tangle? Please let me know!
Hmm
The Delirium's Tangle connection is minor fluff... Don't worry overmuch if you haven't done it. But if you have... I want to know so that I can plot.
Muahahahahaha!
Hmm
Keith, am I missing your application here?
