Likewise dotting. Running ideas through my head, still trying to finalize what I'd like to do and how to fit it into the campaign. Reading up on the AP setting as I type.
I'd like to submit Asta Blackheart, expatriate Winter Witch. ^^ I have most of the crunch ready, just need to write up her equipment and appearance. All accessible by clicking the profile.
Here is my submission of the Peri-blooded aasimar Blackened Oracle of Flame. Links to the race on d20pfsrd are in the profile, as is the full crunch and background.
Finally got the Companion and read it. Later tonight I will be making a Badawi ranger, with Reclaiming your roots campaign trait and Sandwalker as a feat (focused on surviving in the desert environment obviously). I hope there is not a similar build in previous 50+ posts :-)
I'm working up a fighter and will post his background and character sheet information before the deadline.
It's been a busy day and I haven't had time to go over the new submissions yet But I will get to them later and post any questions I have.
Just to give everyone a heads up, as I stated the first paragraph of this recruitment thread I sent PM"s to my original players from my last attempt to run this AP and gave them the right of "First Refusal". So far three of them have responded that they wish to play. They are:
Badi Al'Mukhabat Nabih Ka'im Human Wizard (Conjurer)
Marossa Human Bard
Nasir ibn Al'Said Human Paladin (Sacred Servant)
To compensate for these returnees, somewhat, I'm going to increase the party's size from five to six characters. It'll mean more work for me adjusting the challenges but it'll be worth it.
Character sheet info for Adad Elazar may be found in his profile. Background story to come.

Antal grew up amongst a family of itinerant merchants. Relatively prosperous, they traded in Katapesh the city and many of the region's settlements, and Antal stood to inherit much. But then, a jealous cousin managed to disgrace Antal and turn the family against him, and for good measure engineered it so that Antal was sold into slavery.
For three years he worked as a slave at a lord's country retreat before escaping to freedom. Wandering the desert, he fell in with a nomadic tribe in the interior, the Isrin. He accepted their hospitality, and helped them to defeat their oases and families from raiders. From the Isrin, Antal learned how to ride, to fight, and to aid and protect the vulnerable. When it was agreed that it was time for him to move on and seek his destiny, they gifted him his steed, a blazing white pony that he calls Shariq.
Now Antal is a wandering soul. He has mixed feelings about returning to his family after the way they turned their back on him, and he would prefer to earn a great reputation before seeking them out. So lately he has been drifting, working as a caravan guard or mercenary in some places and in others just helping to defend the weak from the strong. He has a fierce hatred of slavery, and will do anything to thwart slavers or to set slaves free, especially halflings.
Had two questions about character creation:
1 - Do cavalier mounts (or animal companions in general) get maximum hit points at first level, the same as characters?
2 - Is it alright for both a character's traits to be taken from the player's guide?
I had envisioned that Antal could either play as a frontline combat character for a party, or in a combat support role, using his mobility.
Added quick character page behind the avatar. Still thinking about which way to go with said 'bleeding' attacks. The fragile weapon quality is probably the better (But more expensive in the long run with weapons being thrown away/broken to make it happen)
Putting up the post here and now since I am in a very different time zone to most others and hence, with work, might miss the closing deadline.
Whishing every one all the very best and good fortune into the new year. (^_^)

High in the Zho Mountains, a stream pours out of a cave and tumbles down a narrow gorge to vanish in the sands of the desert. Despite the constant supply of fresh water and the lush green vegetation growing near the stream's banks, the area is left alone by the nomads. They offer no reason, other than that the stream belongs to the Jabb Lail, Grandfather Night.
Only those who sought his help dared to drink from the stream, and they always left an offering near the source of the stream. If the task was accepted, the offering would be gone in the morning.
Layali's father had wanted a son, and when the girl was born, he insisted that his wife had been unfaithful and drove mother and daughter out of his tents to live or die in the desert. The woman walked at night and reached the stream at the foot of the mountains on the third night. She had nothing to offer but the infant. She wrote her husband's name on a scrap of leather and left it with the baby at the top of the gorge. In the morning, death had found her, so she never saw that her offering had been accepted.
Layali was carried a long way through the cave to a valley with no apparent entrance or exit. There was food and water, and Grandfather Night's assassins were trained here. One was sent immediately to track down the man named on the scrap of leather, and several weeks later, the man was cut down in the marketplace.
Layali's father had wasted no time, however, and had married another woman. That woman's child was named Haleen, and news of her birth reached Jabb Lail's secret valley.
Layali began her training as soon as she could walk, and was finished by the time she was 12. She was taken out of the valley for the first time since she was an infant. Her instructions were simply to make her way in the world as best she was able until Grandfather Night sent her orders. She found a caravan crossing the desert and joined them, asking at village after village for her half-sister Haleen.
At last, Layali found her half-sister, and befriended her, though she always kept their truth of their relationship a secret. They spent their teenage years together, supporting Haleen's mother through petty thievery and plotting the heroic adventures they would have when they were older.
Then it seemed that Haleen decided to begin her adventures without Layali. She disappeared, and all that Layali could discover was that she had gone to the abandoned village of Kelmarane.

i think i will go with the elf wizard going arcane trickster with the origami raven familiar
are the darkvision and arcane focus alternate racial traits from the advanced race guide allowed?
and what are the stats for a footman hireling? i plan to hire a pikeman bodyguard (essentially a tweaked footman with a longspear) with some of my starting gold to make surviving the first level a little less harsh.
is the magical knack trait allowed?
and may i reflavor the finding haleen trait? i was thinking that she would be an explorer seeking to learn, who got stranded in the desert.
Hi again, as stated above I am working on my Badawi (Keleshite) ranger-guide, focused on surviving in the desert. Work is still in progress, especially on the background, but he should be ready soon.
@Shadur - You can also burn a trait, Heirloom Weapon until you can/need to pick it up. With new spells, you can pay to have it made Masterwork. Meanwhile, enjoy the benefits of another feat.
@Shadur - You can also burn a trait, Heirloom Weapon until you can/need to pick it up. With new spells, you can pay to have it made Masterwork. Meanwhile, enjoy the benefits of another feat.
No exotic weapons any more, Heirloom Weapon has been errata'ed quite a while ago. You can now only choose a Simple or Martial weapon and get:
1) Proficiency with that specific weapon
2) A +1 trait bonus on attacks of opportunity with that specific weapon
3) A +2 trait bonus on one kind of combat maneuver when using that specific weapon.
Oh, and Aakif Zerai my inquistor is almost done stat wise.
@shadur
Maybe bite the bullet and take a dip?
Withdrawing my application. Life happened. Have a good game.
Oopsie, didn't realize they nerfed it that bad.

Here, at last, is my Summoner - a girl with an interest in the genies that may have proven a little unhealthy in the long run (Crunch in the profile).
Put to work early, like many young children born in Katapesh to her lot in life, Munya quickly developed a taste for what might have been termed the finer things, although she could be happy with scraps from the table. At least, that's what she told herself. But it helped that she could talk to genies.
Early in her years, she had had an imaginary friend, but this being wasn't like those of her fellows. The half-elf girl seemed to spend more and more time off in worlds of her own, listening to the tales of what was going on just beyond the walls of her owner's mansion with rapt attention, learning about the doings of commoners and nobles alike, and often learning of new trends even before her master did. These little favors were repaid in magic, little conjurations that she learned from the voices that surrounded her and that only she could hear.
One day, she overheard a business deal being conducted, and decided to warn the man that he was being cheated, which only earned her two lashings - one for daring to talk back, and one for not preventing him from making the deal. The next day, she was sold to a nobleman, who was told to keep a close eye on her.
Munya found herself promoted to 'entertainment' which in practice just meant she was kept close to her newest owner's arm so she could whisper her "predictions" in his ear. She was, for the first time, given access to a library, that she might learn to interpret whatever signs she recieved from the Jinn better. Finer clothing, jewelry, good food, all of it was hers on the condition that she enrich her owner's coffers with trade. In truth, she had everything she had thought a slave could ever hope for, but it came with a tighter leash.
She was still young enough to have her playful moments, though, and that was when things went . . . wrong. She created a contract from a few scraps of arcane knowledge and offered it up to her 'friend.' When the fog cleared, Maruf was bound to her as a bodyguard.
Maruf was....well, among his kind, he was considered something of an imbicille (although this still placed his intelligence well above the average for mortals.) But, his pity on one little slave girl hardly cost him anything but a little time, since his fascination with the mortals of Katapesh had already led him to discovering most of what he told her of, and the way they scrambled over her "abilities" amused him.
So when his Munya wanted to play a game, he didn't see the harm. What were the odds that a mere girl-child could actually accomplish anything with a few books?
When he came to, he realized he was. . . diminshed. While angry, he knew he was more angry with himself for being the idiot he had always been called, and now he was even moreso. Munya was his mistress, though, and to her he could not raise a hand.
Now stuck together, Munya and Maruf were raised to even more of a marvel, with the Marid's strength and the fact that he was forced to obey what was little more than a girl a source of amusement among those in power in the city. But, such things fade with time and eventually, if Munya was thought of at all it was as a fond diversion of years past. During this period she was sold from owner to owner as a curiosity until she was placed in a tavern to entertain with tricks, a way of earning her coin that she had no real talent for, and the novelty of an enslaved genie could only hold attention for a few nights.
This was when her last owner made the mistake that would cost him his life. Maruf was not bound by the laws of mortals, and Munya could not prevent the fulfilment of the contract to protect her.
So attempting to lash the girl with a genie bodyguard, even one whose power is mostly locked away, proved to be a fatal error. The authorities, really not wanting to deal with the mess, threw the girl, the genie, and the case into a lot of slaves meant for public judgement where a choice was offered.
Munya got the message - accept the mission or go in front of a judge.
Nadira does not blame her parents for any of it. That's important to remember.
They made a mistake in trusting Crafty Mahoud, but they were hardly alone in that. The man could be very persuasive when he wanted to be, and his proposal certainly sounded lucrative enough -- and it was, right up until the other shoe dropped, the debts came due, and they suddenly discovered they owed Mahoud more than they could ever hope to own...
Nadira still remembers the earnest, sympathetic look he gave her parents when he expressed his sympathies for how everything had gone wrong before regretfully informing them that he had other obligations to think of as well and he couldn't possibly forgive their debt -- and there was no point in granting an extension, because there was no way they could repay it even if they worked to it for the rest of their lives. But perhaps, he suggested, there might be an alternative way to pay him what he was owed. And then he looked at her, and smiled.
Nadira learned the meaning of rage that night -- unbridled fury at the complete lack of fairness in the universe -- but there was nothing she could do. It wasn't even a choice for her parents either; if they refused, Mahoud could simply call in the debt and take them to court, which would strip them of all their possessions and send all three of them into debtor's slavery.
There was nothing in the next few years that she particularly cares to remember; suffice it to say that Crafty Mahoud had exactly the kind of uses for a pretty young slave girl that you'd expect from a middle-aged man with a taste for vices. Nadira learned to obey when he called, to cultivate her inborn agility to near-supernatural grace, to dance when he ordered, to entertain whom he ordered... And to never, ever let on how much she hated him, burying her rage underneath the certainty that as long as she endured, she would have the chance to be there on the day he finally stepped on his own dagger.
That day finally came three years later when Mahoud tried his craft on the wrong person and found himself imprisoned and his property confiscated before he ever realized the person he'd taken for an easy mark was a plant in the employ of the Pactmasters.
While his final fate as a penniless prisoner gave Nadira a great deal of satisfaction, all it did for her was trade in one master for another. At least Farad had enough wives to attend to him already, and his tastes ran towards somewhat more mature women. He did, however, have a keen appreciation for the art of fire spinning, and he quickly discovered that Nadira had a talent for it.
Then one evening as she was finishing up her performance, the caravan was attacked by raiders who'd managed to take out the guards undetected, and when one of them leered at her as he reached out to grab her by the veils something finally snapped.
She doesn't recall what happened beyond a red haze settling over her vision and the realization that she was holding to burning torches at chain's length and she needed to hurt someone for everything that the universe had done to her... And by the time the haze lifted and she staggered to her knees in sudden exhaustion, two of the bandits were dead, a third was barely alive with third degree burns over most of his exposed skin, and the other two had dropped their weapons and fled.
Farad realized he owed her his life -- and while he wasn't allowed to unilaterally set her free, he did know of a way in which she could earn her freedom.
Nadira bristled internally at the need to 'earn' something that should never have been taken from her to begin with, but this was as close to fair as she was likely to get.
It'd have to do.

Adad Elazar's character sheet information is in his profile. Here is his background story.
Born into slavery in the household of a caravan master, Adad never knew his father and was separated from his mother at an early age when she was sold off to pay some of his dissolute master's endless gambling debts. Embittered by life circumstances he never had any influence over, Adad came to his full growth early and proved a terror for the overseers with his enormous strength and even greater anger.
One wily old overseer, though, saw a way to rid herself of two problems at once. A slave herself, Lizanne had the charge of protecting her master's camel trains on their treks from the sea to the mountains and back. Raiders human, gnoll, and otherwise constantly harried the trade between the capital and Solku, and soon fourteen-year-old Adad found himself armed with a scimitar, pacing alongside laden camels and fighting off desert raiders.
The young man proved a deadly warrior, and when the Pactmasters finally refused to extend any more credit to his owner, their agents recognized Adad's prowess with his blades. And so he found himself with a chance for freedom, and at long last on a different road. The road to Kelmarane…
@Asta Blackheart & Amestri Perixunin- Both characters look good.
@Badharkân- Looks good
@Adad Elazar- Also looks good
@Shadur- Half elves can take Ancestral Weapon alternate racial trait and take EWP with a single weapon. I'll allow Rich Parents. The starting benefit will soon fade as characters level up.
@Crazy Hedgehog- In my campaigns Animal companions start out with average HP's or above. Roll it's Hit Dice and if below the average raise them to average, anything over average stays as rolled. Yes, both traits can come from the Player's Guide, but one must be a Campaign trait.
@Lumiere Dawnbringer- Any alternate racial traits are acceptable replacements. Is the footman meant to be a warrior or an expert NPC? If the former use the heroic NPC array, if the latter use the basic array. Yes Magical knack is okay.
@Cuàn- Let me know when your character is finalized.
@Durant- Good luck
@Munya- Looks good
Okay, I think that catches me up. If I've missed someone let me know and I'll review your character and post any questions I may have.
*Waves* (^_^)
@.Syn.- I'm a little confused by your character, it doesn't look complete. There are two classes and two archetypes listed there. Are you going to multiclass with both those classes (Ninja/Inquisitor)? Are those archetypes the ones you're going with in those classes? As stated above Ninjas cannot take the Knife master archetype as it replaces Trapfinding and Trap sense (niether of which the Ninja gets).
Hiri of the Sabkha Sands
Male human fighter 1 (tactician archetype)
Neutral Good; Magic is Life trait, Dangerously Curious trait
Intending to multi-class with wizard, with the eventual aim of attaining the eldritch knight prestige class.
Born to a Garundi family of salt traders, Hiri has spent the last few years in Katapesh, serving as bodyguard to the wizard Seyur Ablaret. He was fascinated with his master’s skills, and yearned to learn the secrets of magic, even going so far as to surrender being paid gold for his services in return for the opportunity for tuition. However, beyond instructing him to read some rudimentary texts on arcane theory, Seyur’s teaching was sorely lacking. Eventually concluding that Seyur had no intention of taking him on as a real apprentice, Hiri abandoned his master and became a mercenary, offering his sword to the highest bidder. Perhaps a life of adventure will provide him with a better chance to follow his wizardly ambitions.
I'll do my best to post a full character sheet before the deadline passes.

Bran Flann mac Donnchild
Bran was raised by his sorceress mother in a small coastal town far from Sandpoint. He was friendly with the people there, even training with the guard to become strong and to have some pocket change to boot!
Recently, his mother informed him of his real birthplace, and that his father had not infact drowned in a fishing accident, but died in the village of Kellmarane. His mother fled the village with her son and her husbands sword (Bran's Birthright). After being giving his father's sword, Bran was filled with a desire to visit his birth place, his father home. If possible, he wishes to discover how his father Donn has died, and perhaps what has happened in Kellmarane.

Throwing Davorik into the mix. Two-weapon sword and board fighter. Originally made for a RotRL that I I'd not get selected for. Will change trait to gnoll killer. Otherwise everything else is pretty much the same.
Davorik grew up in a small farming communityt. Life was simple yet enjoyable with his parents and 2 younger sisters. Davorik hunted occasionally on the plains and in the woods nearby, but never ventured too far from home. It wasn't that he was scared of the wide world, it was more that he never had cause to leave the area that he knew and was fond of. Yes there were some days where wanderlust would take a hold of him for a while, but his work always required him to go home soon.
It was a good life and one that he enjoyed immensely. That all changed one afternoon when Davorik cam back from a quick foray into the woods for some deer. What he thought was a large bonfire from inside the woods was actually the home of the apothecary in the village. A raiding group of gnolls looted the village and set fire to the store when they did not find the alcohol and food they came for. The grisly fate of the proprietor left Davorik with a sick feeling inside his stomach. He wanted to be there to help and protect the lives of those he grew up with.
At age 16 Davorik left with permission from his parents to go and join the militia in hopes of training himself to counter the raids of giants, goblins, gnolls and worse that the countryside had to offer. Four years passed with Davorik learning what he could of weapons armor and tactics so that he could be ready when the time came to defend those whom he cared for. As luck would have it, Davorik has not had to rush to defend his family or his village since he joined the militia. Davorik looks at this as a blessing rather than a waste of time and effort on his part. Only a fool would wish for calamity to befall so they could act the hero. It was better if a hero was never needed. However if an opportunity arose, Davorik would be ready.

Garulk was expected to be a great fighter, as an orc, funny then, that he almost died during his first fight. It was right before the killing blow he heard a booming voice offering some instruction. He did as he was commanded, and his opponent's clothing caught fire out of the blue. He killed the foe in one blow as he tried to stomp it out. After the fight, Garulk was offered whatever reward he wished, and all he demanded was a set of tools and building materials.
The next morning, it was revealed that he had worked through the night, creating a mask the size of a large shield. It had wild eyes and an angry mouth, decorated with various colors of paint, and blood. From then on he fought in that mask, using the abilities granted to him by his patron, which he believes to be Zon Kuthon. In an attempt to increase his prestige, Garulk's owner pledged him to the expedition to retake Kelmarane, not realizing until it was too late that any slaves were being offered their freedom in return for their service.
Garulk offers his prayers to Zon-Kuthon, and he considers himself something of a priest of that god. He believes that the Midnight Lord is the source of his power, and that he is something of a chosen one: a cleric whose powers came unbidden, through the favor of his god. Garulk would likely compare himself to an Oracle, if he knew such a thing existed. Garulk's patron, and thus the orc himself, has no interest in torturing, or even inflicting pain on others, and he only causes himself pain because he has learned to draw power from it. This makes it unlikely that the Midnight Lord truly is Garulk's patron.

There is still time. I'm not restricting anyone to only one submission. If anyone wants to make multiple submissions in an attempt to increase their chances, please do so.
@Wolfman1911- Garulk's Charisma is too low, it needs to be bumped up one point.
From the original post:
• Abilities: Characters will be based on the High Fantasy (20 point) buy, found in the PFRPG Core Rulebook on page 16. No ability can be raised higher than 18 (prior to racial modifiers). Only one ability may be lowered below 10 and that ability cannot be lowered below 8 (prior to racial modifiers).
Oops, I guess I missed that. I managed to edit it in time, basically by taking a point out of constitution and adding one to charisma and one to strength.
