@Tynan
Was just wondering if I was missing something somewhere. While it is not official for all races I don't see why they would not have their own "unique" language with a few exceptions. So you can keep Shadowtongue and we can call it her racial language/dialect.
@Marckus
Why is your longsword under ranged? x3
Where did he get the Improved Unarmed Strike feat?
Your Wis mod in your save breakdown is 1 should be 3. I am tempted to argue that city raised and being raised by mommoth lords are conflicting but let's just say everything happened after his coming of age so it's half and half. Besides above I think he is fine. So will add him to the list.
Updated List.

Elvis Birchtree (LN Male Half Elf Monk)
Nob Knottyswitch (CN Male Halfling Urban Ranger)

As always let me know if I have misplaced you or made some error.
Good catch on the Wis! Fixed it.
As to "city-raised", none of his racial weapon options seemed very mammoth-lord-y, so I figured him more likely to learn apparently "city" weapons rather than orcish weapons. I'll fluff up his background to make it more clear that he has been in Magnimar for a while now.
The Improved Unarmed Strike feat comes from the favored weapon of his deity, which is Unarmed Strike. There is an official ruling stating clerics getting proficiency in their deity's favored weapon gives them IUS when US is the favored weapon.
And finally, my longsword is under ranged because of Hand of the Acolyte, one of my domain powers that basically allows me to throw my melee weapon like a returning weapon.
@Marckus
Alright I got it, just seemed a bit strange. Normally you put the ability sense it is not limited to a certain weapon and so simple minded DMs don't get confused. ;)
As for IUS, direct me to the ruling please.
Ah, sorry. I can change that, but I really just put it there for the common case. Though if I took normal orc weapons, I could be hurling my greataxe...
Oh, and here is that ruling you asked for.
By the way, will this game have anything similar to prestige in PFS? I mostly ask for the sake of wand access.
It doesn't matter to him whether or not these jobs are legal according to the laws of the city.
However, he does have a moral code that he follows very strictly.
a) Promises are to be kept, no matter what.
He keeps his promises, and he expects the same from his business partners.
b) He takes what is given to him, but he never asks for payment.
(Of course, once a potential client has offered a payment, Elvis will remind them to keep their part of the deal. However, he has walked away from potential jobs, simply because the potential client never brought up the topic of payment. Sometimes he simply helps people in need, under the assumption that they will be generous in return.)
c) He doesn't participate in any form of extortion. Because of this, he performs a background check on all his potential clients before accepting a job. Maybe it was through one of these background checks that he first heard about the Solrath Consortium.
Elvis follows Irori - though more as a role model than as a god.
@Marckus
Was never in PFS play so I can't answer that. I don't see why you would not have wand access, unless it is arcane in which case you need UMD skill.
Hi. Nob is still looking for employment. My idea with this concept was to make a tough little scoundrel with infiltration and scouting skills. I also wanted to explore the sling staff as a weapon option.
He could develop into a great mounted slinger later in his career. But his options remain open for now. In any case he is skilled and resourceful.
I filled in most of the crunch in the profile. There may be a few errors here and there, I will continue to make corrections as I see them.
I also mentioned that he is emotionally battle-scarred. This is to give some idea of where his martial training came from, but also as a theme to explore in role playing. I have not elaborated on where he was employed as a warrior...I am still working on that, perhaps I can develop that part of his story through role play. If DM Alaion wishes, I can add this part of his backstory now...if necessary.
I hope you like him.
CHARACTER TRAITS
Nob has experience working with leather and tending animals. He is no stranger to war, and he has seen hard battle as a warslinger - his descents into debauchery are in some ways his coping mechanism to deal with the grim memories from that traumatic time in his life.
He has a habit of avoiding any confrontation with his past and concocts elaborate lies to disguise his perceived vulnerabilities.
RACIAL...........Fearless, Halfling Luck, Outrider, Keen Senses
Trait...........Fast Talker
Trait...........Armour Expert
Drawback........Hedonistic
FEATS
Nob is a bit of a crackshot with the sling.
Point Blank Shot
@ DM Alaion
Would you be ok with me having a spellbook filled with cantrips on my Rogue?
The idea is that it's something he received as a sort of payment for opening a trunk for the parents of student from Magnimar's Golemworks that died in an accident. When the trunk also revealed it contained a partial copy of the son's spellbook the left it with Xavi as they wanted rid of all magic things they associated with their son's death.
Xavi would be intrigued by the book and would study it, trying to decipher what's within. It would help set up his eventual wizard levels, needed to become an Arcane Trickster.
Sorry weekends are nutty sometimes.
@Nob
Add or leave out what you want at your own peril. But really if you want to have it come out as he gets to know people that is fine.
@Cuan
Wizards get a spellbook for free with 1st level spells so if you want to end up with two spellbooks or pay to add 1st level spells to that one with only cantrips then I have no problem with it. Just don't try to pawn it off later. ;)
My point is more that to have his wizardly powers just fall out of the sky would be rather silly. Mechanically it works but fluff-wise it's strange.
I know Wizards get a free spellbook when they take their first level, but my idea was to perhaps use that book and then add the 1st lvl spells for free, only some time invested.
@Cuan
Well some downtime will be given plus the Solrath are about knowledge so wizardly power would be in easy reach so to speak. Anyways fine with it. :)
@Klokk
Recruitment is open til the 8th for now.

so adding back in the varisian language (based on previous post)
also still here and in the running just need to change up the double blade thing.
depending if there is a possiblity of dipping a few lwvwls of Ninja as the game progresses otherwise will have to just take exotic weapon proficiency then.

I present to you Marfedelom. A Dhampire born of a local woman that caught the eye of the dark one that fathered him. Both parents are long dead by now. He has survived by taking what he needed. He hires himself out as a sellsword or more generally an archer when he gets bored.
He is conflicted, his primary motivation for taking the job is to acquire funds to help him on his crusade to hunt vampires and other Corpses. He is of completly average build and weight, his changes are slight enough that he can, almost, pass for a human, hence why hes learn to disguise himself over last century.
To survive he has had to take many lives along the way. Though he follows Pharasma, he has no qualms about sending someone to her judgment early. He follows Order and all contracts to the letter, but could care less about the ideas of good or evil, he just wants to survive and get some revenge on the creatures that spawned his kind.
If he is accepted his plan is to step into Magus: Soul Forger, or if you prefer i can start as magus and to rogue next level. He will eventually, if he is not sent to Pharasma before he learns how, become an Assassin. As he figures he may as well get paid good for doing what he already does.
He does morn for the death of every being he slays as though they were his brother, which in a sense they are as we are all judged and weighed when he die (or so he figures)
His hair is shot through with grey and he has a rather condescending tone when he has to speak with anyone younger then himself. Even though he kills for a living, his touch is Sacred for some reason or other Pharasma has granted him the ability to stabilize a person moments before they would die. Which is kinda ironic as positive energy harms him.

Xavi only misses equipment and one last feat right now. I'm working on the equipment at the moment.
EDIT: And I just figured out a spellbook filled with cantrips would cost a fortune (12.5 gold per cantrip) so I'm probably leaving that out.
I have a question in regards to the feat though: Does the rule that says you can't have more than one trait per category also apply to traits gained via the Extra Traits feat?

DM Alaion
Is a Dhampire alright or would you like me to change him to say an elf?
Cuan
In my games ive disreguarded that rule if getting the traits via spending a feat. I do not know RAW or our good DM's rule on it though. If your not aware of it.. Mythweavers has a great character sheet hosting site, and its free to set up, I just discovered the place last week, but its vary handy. You may want to pick up a weapon, your offense section is blank :)
Three days left til the deadline. May reduce it if at some point I feel it is time.
@Klokk
As long as your aware of everything being a Dhampire entails I am fine with the race.
@Cuan
I have no problem with you picking a trait from the same category via a feat.
|

I am indeed. That is in part why he follows Pharasma and is in perpetual mourning. One day he will be called to stand before her and pay for what he has had to do on his quest. But he will do everything in his power to delay that day as long as possible, hoping that by sending souls to judgement early that he may be granted a reprieve, he is not wise enough to know that will never happen.

Teagan grew up in Whistledown where she spent some time helping her family selling instruments, but mostly enjoyed playing pranks on the other gnome and human children around town. (Trickster) One night she tricked a group of children onto a boat and got them lost for a full night on the lake while she laughed on the shore. Weeks later when a circus pulled into town, those same children decided to try their own mischief. The last night the carnival Kristol, one of the children Teagan previously ticked, approached Teagan with a plan.
"Teagan, I'm so glad I found you! Listen, some of us have come up with a plan, but we need your help." Kristol leads Teagan away from the crowds milling about the streets and continues talking. "Some of us have decided to join the circus and plan to sneak out tonight. Just think, we'll see the world, become famous, and get rick all at the same time. Won't you come with us? With your skills in music and spells they'll surely let us stay if you join us too."
It didn't take much persuading for Teagan to agree to the plan. They were to sneak into the circus' wagons during the night and to stay hidden as many days as possible to discourage the circus from turning around and taking them back. That night, Teagan gathered some rations, water and stole a masterwork instrument from her family's home before sneaking into the circus' wagons. For four days Teagan hid from the circus workers, on the morning of the fifth day she struck a dramatic pose in the middle of the sleeping camp, began playing loudly and singing for her fellow companions to reveal themselves. To no one's surprise but Teagan, no other Whistledown children appeared.
A gnome himself, the ringmaster allowed Teagan to stay with the circus after all. Whether it was due to her skills, or just because he wanted to avoid returning to Whistledown and face any trouble only he can say. During her years traveling, (Explorer) preforming became second nature and with it her need to be admired and praised. (Vain)
Years later, the circus has come around to Magnimar and is discussing where the next circuit will take them. Hearing the circus will be returning to Whistledown soon and bored at the idea of retreading old ground, Teagan decides to stay in Magnimar instead. Soon she finds that busking in the city streets isn't as fulfilling as she expected it to be. Teagan is anxious to find a new endeavor to put her mind to, and toiling for years in a shop or on a street corner doesn't sound promising. On the streets, rumors of the Solrath Consortium have reached Teagan and she has decided to set out for Underbridge until she can learn more.
Checked out all the game threads and this one seemed the most interesting. I'm thinking about a knifemaster Rogue not sure what race. I'd kind of like to play a Goblin but they are kindo of diffcult to incorporate in Pathfinder games so I'm pondering alternatives.

Finishing up the last bits & pieces
As for Xavi's family situation, there are a few things going on.
Xavi is the eldest of three children born to Varingil and Leathicia. He has a younger sister, Thedaria, and a younger brother, Humbarian.
Xavi's father owns an import/export company mainly operating from Riddleport. They specialise in transporting valuable goods anywhere between Ossirion and the northern Dragon Empires, mainly Minkai. While his practices are legal he has a strict "don't ask, don't tell" policy and as such has transported several illegal items over the years. The only thing he refuses to transport is live, sentient cargo.
He remarried with a young woman from Tien after his divorce and has two young children with her.
He is a former Sczarni tough and has broken all bonds with them and as such his parents and siblings. As such he is still somewhat angry at Xavi for his previous affiliation with the Sczarni but he's happy he broke away from them as well. The only thing he thinks would be better was if he joined the family company.
His mother is in the wind most of the time. She is a harrower and part of a Varisian caravan. He sees her roughly once a year, when the caravan comes to the outskirts of Magnimar and he has no idea where she is or what she does the rest of the year.
She actually travels with her mother, siblings cousins and a son only a few years younger than Humbarian. The pregnancy of that child, which wasn't fathered by Xavi's father, was the reason of the divorce. Xavi doesn't know he exists.
His sister has recently been married to a Half Elf and is pregnant. She lives in Riddleport where she works in their father's company. She is the company face and she also is the one that negotiated a deal with several Riddleport pirates where they actually protect the company's vessels, for a price of course.
According to their father she is the only child that truly makes him proud because she never worked for the Sczarni and plays a big role in the company.
The youngest brother is a problem child. The only one to stick with the Sczarni and also known fro substance abuse, both father and sister broke all contact. He occasionally comes to Xavi when he needs a place to hide for a few days, mostly from the guards. Recently he has gotten himself into a giant mess because of his debts to a man called Rassimeri Kaijarko, a crime lord based in Rag's End in Magnimar.
Tomorrow is judgment day, I know the puns, good luck to all. You sure are not making it easy on me. ;)

Seems so. Never heard of the movie but it appears Xavi's father is a less heroic version of the guy, yes. Besides, he'd actually make sure clients know that any live cargo would be released at the earliest opportunity, assuming that won't endanger him or his employees.

never heard of it? shame was a good series of films (actually the second one was so-so) well if you like action films that is.
It not like it is too late to jump into RP. I won't be making my choices until tonight maybe even the day after depending on time demands. ;)
