How about a magus, that travels the world working as an assassin.
So I'm thinking a LE Peri-blooded Aasimar Investigator with the Mastermind archetype. Basic concept is a master manipulator who's not above getting his own hands dirty if his minions can't get the job done right. He pretty much wants to replace the current system because he believes that if he were in charge things would be better (and they would!). Crime would probably be sedition since he's too tricky to actually get caught for high treason.
Included below is the Mastermind Archetype from the Advanced Class Guide as it is not currently on d20pfsrd or the PRD.
A Quiet Word:
A mastermind's reputation precedes him. At 1st level, once per day a mastermind can spend 10 minutes preparing an ally to make a single Diplomacy or Intimidate check (mastermind's choice when preparing the ally) within the next 24-hour period at the mastermind's behest. This skill check uses the mastermind's skill ranks instead of the ally's. The mastermind's affected ally still uses its own ability bonus for the check.
Furthermore, when a mastermind uses this ability, he can expend one use of inspiration to give the ally use of the inspiration die when making the check.
At 3rd level, a mastermind can use this ability an additional time each day, and the number of times he can use this ability per day increases by 1 for every third level thereafter. Multiple uses of this ability on the same ally grant that ally the benefit on additional Diplomacy or Intimidate checks.
At 12th level, a mastermind can use this ability to bestow on his ally the use of his skill ranks, similar to the 1st-level effects of this ability but with a wider range of skills to choose from. The mastermind can only bestow this for a skill check that he can use inspiration on without expending uses of inspiration. For instance, a mastermind with the underworld inspiration talent can bolster his ally's Bluff, Disable Device, Disguise, or Sleight of Hand skill checks, selecting a single skill for each use of the ability. This ability replaces trapfinding and trap sense.
Mastermind Defense
At 4th level, a mastermind can, as an immediate action, expend two uses of inspiration to make an inspired defense. He rolls his inspiration die and applies the result as a penalty on an attack roll made against him. If the mastermind has the combat inspiration talent, he can expend one use of inspiration instead of two. This ability replaces swift alchemy.
Impregnable Mind
At 9th level, a mastermind's secrecy, obscurity, and mental conditioning reach superhuman levels. He becomes immune to any divination spell, spell-like ability, or effect that allows a saving throw (though he can still allow a divination effect to affect him if he wishes). Even divination effects that do not allow a saving throw have difficulty piercing a mastermind's barriers, as a mastermind can now choose to think in any language he speaks. Unless the opponent reading a mastermind's thoughts speaks all of the mastermind's languages, attempts at thought reading automatically fail. This ability replaces the investigator talent gained at 9th level.

repost: If it isn't on d20pfsrd.com or the SRD then it's vetoed. For my own ease of reference. :( Sorry.
p.s. An Aasimar is going to be my honest to goodness last pick for a player pc race. I don't want evil 'angel-like' PCs in this game.

Correction: between when I checked last night and now the Mastermind archetype has been added to d20pfsrd. As near as I can tell d20pfsrd is still in the process of adding all the content from the Advanced Class Guide, so any archetypes or feats from that book may not be immediately available but should be within a week or two tops.
Re. Aasimar: I'm not super tied to the race, I thought that the concept of a character who appeared physically to be blessed by good gods that was irredeemably evil would be an interesting hook to play with and the Peri-blooded Aasimar have it in their background that they have a greater tendency to be evil than other types of Aasimar (due to Peris being the redeemed descendants of fallen angels).
Since it's pretty much a no-go, race will be human instead.

Mastermind is probably fine, but Aasimar i'm not to thrilled with as a race for this still. Even acknowledging that they can most certainly BE evil. They're a bit high on the RP meter at 15 too, I would avoid them as I will probably skip any entries that are Aasimar.
I submit Surian Sorcuse, the Pit-Touched Samsaran Sorcerer. In every life he returns to the service of the Prince of Darkness, and after every life he shall return to do so again.
Cool. Here's a revised submission then:
Bealde, LE male Human Investigator (Mastermind).
Concept:
Bealde is a master manipulator, a man with complete certainty that the actions he takes (or orders taken) are going to make the world a better place regardless of what those fools opposing him think. He truly believes that Talingarde would be a much better place if he (or someone very much like him) were in charge and he is unafraid to take whatever actions needed to ensure the conversion of the land to his vision of an Asmodean paradise of the strong ruling the weak.
It is likely that, if allowed, he will pick up Leadership at level 7 to give himself a pool of minions to work with for various unsavory tasks.
I will probably stick with Investigator for all 20 levels unless a prestige class is introduced which would be thematically (and mechanically) appropriate - due to the Investigator class just being released there are none at this time.
Gathering a like-minded group of thugs, murders, and thieves, Bealde began plotting how he would infiltrate and overthrow the House of Darius. Unfortunately for him, when he began to put his plan into action it was quickly discovered and quashed by the local authorities. It was only through his own glibness (and possibly some infernal luck) that he managed to convince the judges that he personally had taken no actions against the crown, managing to reduce his crimes from High Treason to 'merely' Sedition - a minor distinction but one that would hopefully allow him a better chance of escape to continue his plans anew.
Here are 2 submissions, interested in playing either one.
NE, Half-elf, Bard, Power Hunger, Womanizer, Greedy, Very Charismatic, Silver Tongued Party Face, will usually have several schemes going at once, no instruments oratory for preform.
LE, Human, Psion, Nomad, maybe dual class rogue 50/50 moving forward, cat burglar, knife for hire, motivated by prestige, holds grudges for a very long time, No women No Children mindset,
I hope i'm not to late but here is my submission.
LE Devil-Spawn Anti-Paladin/Warpriest, a capable, religious zealot, respects woman and loves to fight and spread the gospel of the one true power Asmodeus.
Dang it! Just slightly too late. Work ate all my time last night.
I was going to submit an adapted version of this halfling witch, designed as a healer for another WotW game. He does fun things with Halfling Jinx that I've been wanting to try out.
Ah well. Good luck, everyone!

The straws have been placed in the cosmic cup of choice. These 7 beings have been called upon by Asmodeous to go forth and do his bidding.
1 applicant was hand chosen by Asmodeus himself, the remaining 6 were chosen at random, and presented thusly in no particular order:
. Asmodean spacer dot
. Asmodean spacer dot
You have been called out of the evil bullpen and will be given the chance for revenge, for power, for total control, ... but for now. Let us start at the beginning.
You may fully flesh out your character sheets and have them ready for approval between now and Monday(hopefully).
Good luck, players. :)
I'll get to work putting some meat on these bones. Thanks for the invite!
The Fates have spoken.
Other than what I already have, is there anything else I need?

A quick glance looks OK. The scorpion pet is not with you at the start, so you only have whatever spells you had the night before.
Just make a note what your current memorized spells would be, if you haven't already.
ninja: looks like you have already, great!
*sarcasm* Awww, I was hoping he snuck in. */sarcsm*
Seriously though, can he show up after our escape? I'd hate to have to get a new one.
Splendid. I shall work on completing things post-haste.
Congrats to all that made it in.
Im also going to have to withdraw my application.
Good luck burning Talingarde down.
for those who made it, congrats and have fun!!! Please keep in mind my tiefling monk if an opening comes up due to attrition or something! thanks.
Very nice, will have a full character as soon as possible :D
Veltharis here.
Adria *should* be done now, although I might tweak one or two things before we actually start play, at the GM's discretion of course.
Background's a bit novella-esque, I'm afraid, though I feel it was a bit rushed in places... I'll try to clean it up over the next few days, but I didn't want to sail right past the deadline, as I am wont to do.

Head over to the discussion forum, read up on the status bar thing and then you can post in the IC forum. And don't forget to take a campaign trait, you can find those posted in the discussion forum.
if Kristofer doesn't show, tiefling monk would still love a spot! ;)
yay!
Yikes! Things blew up. I was offline all of the long weekend (as I tend to be on weekends in general), but didn't expect to see things advancing so much, lol. Sorry about that.
