We seem to be lacking fighter types. Odd that is normally a big group. x)
Tentative dot, thinking a possible Catfolk Oracle...or perhaps a Shaman, if you allow it. Either way, mystery/spirit is likely to be Wind or Waves.

bring a concept char up to the table, Always willing to look at it
@Nohwear
Can I be a harold of the horn skald?
okay, come with a good concept
-----
@everyone
remember we are still looking for people we got 6 days till it closes please keep an eye on the forum, I will let everyone know who get's in by PM and via the boards
I've never done a PbP game before, but have been interested. I may make either a bard (torn between sea singer and buccaneer), or a swashbuckler. Most likely human female. Maybe I'll do swashbuckler and plan on a dip two levels into bard (sea singer archetype for the familiar and sea legs).
I'll post something up later once I flesh out a character concept.

Describe your worst nightmares.
Ben Sandlock was born in the captain's cabin of the Summer's Breeze on the day it set sail from Korvosa on its first voyage. Ben took his first breath of air as the Summer's Breeze passed out of korvosa harbor into the open ocean. The Summer's Breeze was a halfling ship. It was built by Ben's father and crewed by the entire extend Sandlock family. Ben's father Gregor was the ship's Captain. His Grandfather Lucas not only designed the ship and oversaw its construction but also acted as the ships Sailing master. Ben's Uncle James was the first mate, and Ben's mother was in charge of the galley. By its last voyage Ben was 14 years old and the Summer's Breeze was home to 73 halflings.
The Summer's Breeze was on course for Absalom when they were intercepted by a pair of Chelish warships. The halflings had no doubts about what would happen to them if they fell into Chelish hands so they tried to run, but the Chelish had a wizard or sorcerer onboard who stole the wind out of the Summer's Breeze's sails. The Summer's Breeze was boarded and her diminutive crew quickly beaten. The adults and very young were killed, the rest were taken to be sold as slaves. The cargo was stolen and the ship was burned and sunk. Ben doesn't know if any of the others taken from the Summer's Breeze are still alive. He only knows that he and the other survivors were taken to Cheliax and sold as slaves. Ben was sold to a Chelish ship captain. He spent seven years as a slave on the man's ship the Westport Gull. His duties included keeping the captain's cabin and serving meals to the ships officers. The Gull's captain was a hard man and the smallest mistake was rewarded with lashes. Ben quickly learned to do his tasks perfectly in order to avoid the lash. When the Gull was in port Ben was chained in the in the bilges. He was only give the run of the ship when it was out of sight of land.
Ben was rescued from slavery by accident. The Gull fell prey to a pirate out of Slipcove on the Halfling controlled Bag Island. The pirates set Ben free and gave him a ride to Slipcove. The pirate captain a halfling called Laughing Jack Wallace offered Ben a job as a member of his crew when he found that Ben was a competent sailor. Ben spent four years as a member of Laughing Jacks crew. Two weeks ago Laughing Jack announced that he was going to retire to Absalom. Jack put into Port Peril. Sold his ship to his first mate and then took his fortune and left for Absalom as a passenger on board a merchant ship. The former first mate now captain paid off the crew and hired a new one. After receiving his pay Ben set off to look around Port Peril. He knows that his gold won't last long and plans to start looking for a new berth the next day. When evening comes Ben finds himself in the Formidably Maid.
This guy made it to the fist fight.
He will answer questions soon.
A lot of interesting people so far. This should be good!

Let me know if anything needs correction.
Posting because I've made some modifications to the character; namely swapped the Strength and Charisma scores, swapped Spell Focus (Conjuration) out for Improved Initiative, and changed the character archetype from Aquatic Druid to Storm Druid. I also reset him to level one and re-did his gear to keep him at light encumbrance even with the lower strength score.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Here is Reinald Malcoms my submission. He has been reworked over several point by and creation criteria if I missed something I would be happy to fix.
I enjoyed filling out the survey. History write up and crunch is in the profile.
Reinald has been a first mate and served as captain (though only because the captain was dead and by official reports failed hence he has been disowned by family). He longs to be given the chance to really make a go at setting his own course. If he was confident in another or if he had no choice he would serve well as master of sail or first mate.
2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)
Piracy is simply a word. He was loyal to king and country once. It screwed him. He sees little difference in piracy than sailing in the Taldan navy. He is jaded but a proper cause (screwing really evil pricks (like Chells or his own family holdings, he has no real love for slavery), might bring the best out in him.
3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.) Warren is a devout worshipper of Besmara and feels piracy offers her tribute and homage. He feels unnecessary violence and killing is unwarranted. Piracy is an art, not a ruthless endeavor, and deeds of daring, courage and comraderie are what he is after.
3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why? Buccaneer's Blood as it fits in with the son with a strong father to live up to. And, for a pirate campaign, it is the coolest.
Character Survey:
Background:
Where was your character born? Warren does not remember. His mother moved around, but his early memories of the Shackles.
Who raised him? His mother.
What was happening in the region when your character was growing up? It was a seaport where the men put to sea and the women waited for them to return. Virginia Beach and San Diego would be modern day equivalents as they are huge navy communities.
Does your character have any relatives? Only his mother and an unidentified pirate father (possible plot hook)
Motivation Enslaved at a young age, Warren wants to be in control and living a life that would impress father.
What are your character’s immediate goals? Warren wants to ship out on another ship and earn his keep. He also wants to learn more powerful magic.
What would he like to do in the coming year? Meet a woman who shares his ideals, a strong willed woman like his mother.
What are his long-term goals? Warren wants to be a great sorcerer and a pirate that is respected.
What type of person would be his ideal mate? A strong willed woman who shares his love of the sea and a commitment to Besmara.
Who is his patron deity? Is he a devout worshiper? Besmara. And Warren is devout, he knows the Creed of Besmara and follows it zealously. He is fascinated by Besmara and her freedom.
Is he a devout member of any nonreligious cause? Yes--he is strongly against slavery, having been a slave himself.
Is there any race, creed, alignment, religion or the like against which he is strongly prejudiced? Warren is prejudiced against lawful religions, both good and evil, that restrict freedom and force people to conform to impersonal laws and codes.
What is his greatest fear? Being imprisoned in a small space. He is claustrophobic. He was imprisoned for many years, and ironically, he is now afraid to be locked up again.
What is the one task he absolutely refuses to do? Enslave others or commit treachery on those he is crewing with that follow Besmara's Code.
Idiosyncrasies
What is your character’s motto or favorite saying? No fighting is allowed between crewmates. Quarrels shall be set aside until shore leave, at which point grievances may be settled with violence on shore.

What is his favorite food? Fish Drink? Rum

What well-known media figure from sports, movies or politics most closely resembles your character? Bill Clinton. He is a charmer, and is thinking every angle.
What would be his theme song? Sail Awolnation
If his friends were to write his epitaph, what would it be? He had our back through thick and thin.
What would be his job in modern society? In charge of a large operation, politician most likely.
Notes competition in the "skilled" category...
GM on 3rd party I would like to use this class (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/super-genius-games/drago nrider) but not at first level. I've played in this AP but never beyond the Wormwood proper, as such my tentative suggestion is that my character enters the game as a Swashbuckler initially until the first part of the AP is over.
Then using downtime my character's burning obsession with dragons will come to fruition and he will find his draconic companion. He will retrain all of his swashbuckler levels into Dragonrider ones. This way neatly avoids any problems that such a class would pose in the first part of the AP, it also makes it into a burning quest and nice, juicy hook for you the GM.
Your thoughts?
@Gambit Would a Warlord be allowed with the Privateer archetype (scroll down a little, its the second one)?
Warlord would be okay
@Viluki http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/super-genius-games/dragon rider
what would be your first level class is my first question? Secondly aprox what time would you start trying to take this class?
@Corerue Thinking of making a Ratfolk Gunslinger Mechanist.
I wouldn't mind seeing what you got, I have got no problem with that class

Thank you for doing this, I have it on my side here, but it always nice to see when someone takes the time to do this for the GM as well.
@Ben Sandlock
You need 3 traits and please make sure that he is at 1st level I see that you have this listed Male Halfling Expert 1/Rogue (Swashbuckler) 2 AND Rogue(Pirate) 1 listed as well,
Thank you for pointing those things out Krumthi everything should be fixed now.
I think this character may need to be tweaked, and the I'll need to know if the race (gillman) meets your approval, GM Krumthi, but he was made for a S&S campaign that died about a day in...the story, etc. should all still apply.
Let me know if you're ok with the gillman and I'll go through the questions!
I tweaked the background somewhat. Warren has a drawback, Mark of Slavery, that fit with his background. With three traits, he will probably leave it until selected, as he may have to catch another ship.
I think the waiting after submiting a character is the hardest part of applying to a game.
@GM
SwashBuckler (from the ACG) would be my level 1-3 class basically, then I would use the retraining rules to exchange all those levels for Dragonrider ones (once said dragon is found). I am pretty much assuming that sometime after level 3 that this character will find a dragon egg (perhaps in the treasure hold of a ship).
If I have time I will try putting together a goblin swashbuckler. This seems like one of the environments where a goblin could get along.
EDIT: Hmm, I'll have to see if I can make it work with a CHA penalty.
I agree with you Ben, kinda like having your teeth pulled in slow motion. You ether find relief in the end or lingering pain until you get something to distract you from it. xP

Let me know of any corrections that need to be made. ;)
How do you feel about the Fighter (Viking) Archetype (and, possibly, later, the Ulfen Guard PrC)?
The other thoughts would be a Warpriest -- Besmara would likely make the most sense, considering -- or a Summoner.
damn, missed the hybrid class indicator, otherwise seafollower would have been a warpriest.

Calina Eloran (originally Adiransha Calina Masktavo ) grew up in Riddleport as the middle child of a dockside tavern owner and seamstress. Even though she could sing well (she learned in her father’s tavern), her older sister, Giansa, tended to get most of the attention as she was training to become a bravo. Calina idolized her sister, yet she grew very jealous of the attention she always received. Her sister, ever loving, took it upon herself to train Calina in the ways of the swordplay. During these training sessions, Calina would sing various pirate songs she heard in her father’s tavern. Unbeknownst to anyone, her singing actually had a magical effect on her skill and combat prowess.
One fateful day during a training session, an argument between the sisters sprung up over a new rapier that Giansa had received from their parents as a gift. Jealous that her parents neglected her constantly, Calina focused all of her anger into her fighting. Calina doesn’t remember what exactly happened, but when their duel was over her sister laid lifeless on the ground. Afraid of what she had done, she took her sister’s rapier and fled the city on the first ship available. Using her charm an her singing to procure passage, she eventually found herself in Port Peril, under a new name and hoping to start a new life and leave her troubled past behind her. She refuses to let anyone know about her past, so she doesn’t really let anyone get close to her emotionally.
Calina wants to hone her skills as a swordswoman, taking at least 2 levels of bard then going swashbuckler the rest of the way. Most likely she will take swashbuckler at second, bard again at 3rd, then finish out swashbuckler. Hopefully she can be somewhere a parrot or monkey are available to become a familiar to her (sea singer 2nd level class feature).

As always feel free to correct me.
I've neglected to mention my choice of a third trait since we are allowed two regular and one campaign trait for this campaign. I think my likely choice is going to be Deft Dodger.
Allow me to nominate myself for consideration (CN Human Wizard).
(check out my alias profile)

@Scienter
Noticed some stuff, your short on languages. Also your Augment Summoning feat requires the Spell Focus (Conjuration) feat as a prerequisite. May want to fix that. :)
Added a physical description to this character's profile page. Subject to additions of course.
Sorry. Meant to post this from this alias.
Would a shaman be allowable? I was thinking an undine with a waves spirit. If that's not ok, I was possibly thinking a brawler or a bloodrager.
I know I need to make Tamesis' background a bit more compelling. Been stressed, though.
Will finish it up before the deadline...
Fixed the Augment Summoning feat to Spell Focus (the prerequisite). Oops.
I was waffling on which extra languages to pick but I'll add them now.
Meant to post this with Scienter.
Also included Scienter's surname, the mundane but highly appropriate "Seagrave."
okay, so I have had an unexpected time away from the Boards. I am sorry about that. I know that recruitment is suppose to end today, I have to go thru everyone's updated information. Any person who has DOtted before this message is possible. I am not going to announce till tomorrow morning who will be playing because of my time away.
let me look over all of the information and I will come back at everyone who posted before hand
@ShadowyFox Would a shaman be allowable? I was thinking an undine with a waves spirit. If that's not ok, I was possibly thinking a brawler or a bloodrager
Put something in I will take a look ( do it before tomorrow though )
@Tilnar
How do you feel about the Fighter (Viking) Archetype (and, possibly, later, the Ulfen Guard PrC)?
The other thoughts would be a Warpriest -- Besmara would likely make the most sense, considering -- or a Summoner.
Viking? where is that from? I would be interested in seeing that, but the others sound good. you have till tomorrow morning
@Ben Sandlock
I think the waiting after submiting a character is the hardest part of applying to a game.
you are correct and with my time away over the weekend that was unexpected it makes things even harder
@Iogorian Seascream
I think this character may need to be tweaked, and the I'll need to know if the race (gillman) meets your approval
I have played with them before Gillman are okay
@EVERYONE
Again sorry that I was unexpectedly away from the boards sometimes RL gets in the way.
I am going to be letting people VIA PM and on the boards tomorrow ( or later today if everyone from above get's me their final information )
Once that has happened I will open the discussion board for those who made it and then we will have a chat and begin the Gameplay boards
If you have any questions please PM me and we can go from there.
Most of all please have fun. I understand that if something get's in your way form here, Life is life and full of distractions. Enjoy it and don't let this impact your life.
I know all about real life gettiing int he way. I am coming back from dropping everything for three months because of real life issues. So I completely understand. Hope everything worked out this weekend.
Sounds good so far. I am interested in see what else comes out of this recruitment. Please keep on checking back to see who will get selected.
Remember 1 week from today
10/7/14 3am CST it will end
So As someone pointed out to me it isn't to end till tomorrow anyhow so I will accept any that are submitted thru the rest of the day as well.
So get them all in
For shame allowing a petty things as this "real life" getting in the way! :)
Having suffered from character indecision syndrome, do I still have time to submit?
Till tomorrow morning
There seems to plenty of good applicants here. Maybe someone can take a second group?
I was hoping not to read it to avoid spoiling it as a player. I chose Mummy's Mask as the AP I would run. I remember the Tracy Hickman desert of desolation series fondly.
@GM Krumthi - Viking was in People of the North .. Here's a link to it.
