A backstory is up now.
@Filius Hiemensson WinterBorn: Perfectly alright! Thank you for your submission! :)
@Kyliki: Good good!
Chose a different campaign trait considering the vast number of people going for Northern Ancestry. Restless Wayfarer does make sense for someone who grew up among a Varisian caravan. Plus a new language, Sylvan. You can never have enough languages!
@ Lex:
Oi! Longshanks! 'Ave ya thought about Dwarven? There's a proper tongue for ya, Lass!"
@Lex: That does sound more reasonable. :)

Grimkell is missing from the list!
I am glad I made it before the deadline. Enzo's character sheet is complete, its a bit of a long read but I hope you'll enjoy it. Good luck everyone!
Also, Elxurian's details and background were sent to you a few days ago, but she is not on the list, so please add her, if you would be so kind.
@Walter: She is. updated list. just doesnt have her name. No worries! I got ya!
@Enzo: got it! What are you planning on using the antagonist feat?
@Grimkell: Ahhh! I will remedy it.

Now, is that everyone?
Also, just so you guys are aware, the indicators in parens by your names are just wide nets Ive thrown to see what Ive got. I have looked at each of your characters and see what they are capable of, so I dont want to make yall think Im selling you all short!! Sorry if I have. I just needed a tally really, and posted the list with them still there! Sorry for any offense!
I don't think I'm on the list.
I took it because it felt like it really fit the character, but if you want, I can change it. I am not that attached to it, so I may end up changing it my self before the game starts.
@Filius: Gotcha now!
@Enzo: Alright. It does fit I would say, but I would have to put the restriction that you can only use the diplomacy part. The intimidate one doesnt seem fair to me; though very helpful for the party, its a bit OP for this campaign, at least in book one.
@all: Im sorry if I missed you on the list, Pokemon has truly been taking up much of my time. XD
If you feel that any part of it is OP than I will change it immediately, I'll go with combat expertise instead.
How far along are you Whispers? I'm finding EXP share to be stupidly OP and taking what little challenge there was out of the game.
I am loving the look of this game and would like to throw in my hat into the mix.
@Whispers: Knowing nothing about the AP I was wondering if it would be hitting 20. If not, would you allow a Monk(Martial Artist/Master of Many Styles) since the only overlap is at lvl 20? And if the AP DOES go to 20 would you allow me to drop the Master of Many Styles lvl 20 ability in favor of the Martial Artist Extreme Endurance final ability? Neither of which will really effect the char as I am already planning on making a Martial Artist regardless of your call.
Llyr isn't that always the way?
@Llyr: I've just beaten the 2nd gym leader. I, personally like the EXP share thing, but for reasons that it does make it a bit easier. I also like how they've stopped making the low health sound go on and on and on. I also LOVE the pokemonamie thing and the special training. EV and IV training was so freakin' difficult in the old games. Im a full on breeder and I have always hated the constant quest for the same pokemon. There are a lot of improvements, and I love how the game play is much simpler. Some people like that, others dont, but the hidden ways to make pokemon better that were difficult to master are now a bit easier for the people who didnt know about it or didnt understand. Its still hard work, but its minigames, so its less frustrating. I find, as well, that the battles are a bit more challenging. The horde battles are just annoying when you dont have an AOE move. But overall, this is probably the best pokemon game since blue and silver. How do you find the battles and gameplay???
@TheBait: I believe it goes up to the 16-18 range. But a monk would be cool. No one has submitted one yet.
Would you be okay with a Martial Artist/Master of Many Styles Monk then? They are technically not allowed because they double up on abilities at lvl 20 so I wanted to bring it up before I made the character so I could has it out all at once instead of reworking it if you said no.

So here's my submission. This looks fun!
Lharsamael "Wait Still" Dreamwalker
Male Dusk Elf Rogue (Acrobat) 1 (eventually prestige classing into arcane trickster)
Born to a forlorn Elven mother deeply involved with a Calistrian temple in Oppara and not knowing his father, he has spent most of his life in the Oppara as a sacred prostitute. Earlier in his life, Wait Still could be seen performing for the pedestrians that gathered in its markets. In fact, he has a long history with local artisans, flattering them with honeyed praise and stinging taste. Despite this, he is not well known these day, having achieved much of his influence through pillow talk and casual guile. In his years as a sacred prostitute he has fingered the odd holy trinket, skimmed countless pages of ever more arcane spell books, and cuddled with an occasional animal companion or two.
Wait Still is a highly intelligent elf, though many wouldn't notice that upon first meeting him. His demeanor exudes an eternal playfulness, a youthful approach to life that many of the shorter lived races fight desperately to purge themselves of by adolescence. This is part of his charm, and his sometimes irrational behavior. He is also quite the accomplished contortionist, having trained in the art as a hobby during his early days in the city. Many of his relationships with his clients are non-sexual in nature and they instead seek his company to watch him bend into impossible shapes and positions with an ease and limberness that earned him a short-lived nickname, the envy of serpents. His common name "Wait Still" was chosen by his mother for reasons he never learned, though he suspects it has something to do with his father, and why the man has been absent his entire life. He rarely hears his full name, as his mother affectionately calls him Lharsa.
After decades of the monastic life, Wait Still's life was changed by the arrival of a witch in his little corner of Oppara. Fascinated by the witch's knowledge of the arcane arts, and very much eager to learn more, Wait Still convinced the young man to take him back to Irrisen with him. There Wait Still proceeded to look for a witch to train him. His efforts payed off and he eventually found favor with one of the winter witches, using honeyed words and guile to seduce her into teaching him her art. Despite his knack for magic, his capricious nature proved too much for the witch, as he was constantly dismissive of her unless he wanted something from her. She finally grew tired of him. As punishment for his transgressions, she hired goons and they had a "V" branded on his thumb to humiliate him and remind him that he will always be a vagabond in the lands of Irrisen and never aspire to anything beyond the whore houses and pesh shops of the winter lands' lower class. Wait Still was not humiliated however, and welcomed the nonchalant thuggery, seeing the V as a reminder of his gaining the upper hand over the witch. Years after the incident, he still finds himself wondering if he should pursue his nascent spell casting abilities, spending many a night deep in his arcane clients' spell books, pouring over their arcane secrets as they sleep unaware near him.
His knack for magic all but wasted on his gambit with the witch, Wait Still was bitten once more by the imp of the perverse and decided to leave the temple once again, this time for good. With the savored sting as his guide, Wait Still left Oppara during the cold summer to quell his restless heart.

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=680918
Submitting my character, although I just realized after finishing it that you guys already have a barbarian. Well I put this much work into it already so I may as well submit him. If it doesn't work out its fine.
I realy sorry @Whispers Through The Snow. I will have to withdraw my application. Good luck to you all.
Going to have to withdraw my application as well, this should actually save you guys some trouble since you already have a barbarian.
Hope the campaign is fun!
THank all of you who withdrew for applying in the first place!!
about 12 hours until Everything closes down!
@Bowen: Got cha.
@Irri: Very nice Irri. :) You've been added to the list.

Hoping there is still time to submit Gedeon. Made the alt for another reign of winter did not make it in, should be modified to your specs. Magus no archtype, hoping to get good at caster lock down with disruptive and step up feat trees.
@Gedeon: Added!
@whispers just noticed shiphel is still on your list. Thought you may have missed the removing the entry.
This is Velin entering myself for submission.
EDIT: I don't know where my background went, and unfortunately, I didn't save a back up(Head=>Desk). I will try to have it up by the deadline, but I need sleep.
All this RP has me excited and nervous about who will all be picked. I can't wait! Even if I'm not picked, this one might be good to follow just to read the interactions of everyone that plays the adventure.
@Kyliki: He withdrew his application.
RoW is definately an interesting AP. Lots of "Oh crap" moments for lowbie adventurers.
Alright guys. After a really hard deliberation on who to choose, I have chosen. There were so many good entries that I actually opened up one more slot! It really was hard, and it breaks my heart I cant choose all of you.
Here is the list of who made it.
Elxurian
Lex Bishop
Karyne Morozov
Grimkell son of Ogmundr
Nev Morvinus
Llyr the Lush
To everyone else, thank you so much for applying! The RP was completely spectacular and I really enjoyed reading and interacting with all of you.
To the chosen 6: I am opening up the gameplay thread. Finilize your characters and when you have, you can begin your adventure!!
Again, thank you to all! You all have amazing character concepts!
*cheer*
Congrates to those that made it, it should be fun :D
My condolences to those not chosen, we shall try and do you proud!
Congratulations everyone! Hope you guys have a great adventure!
0/2 for Martin. /sadpandaface
Congratulations to everybody who made it.
0/2 for Filius /knowthefeelingbro.
It's okay. Perhaps Martin and Kyliki can get in elsewhere.
Congrats to those who made it.
I had a feeling that I wasn't going to get picked, evil characters just aren't that popular with players or gms, ah well you guys have fun.
NOOO! I didn't Make it. >.< That is what I get for a last second submission. ^_^ Oh well. Good luck to you all.
@Kyliki: He withdrew his application.
I know. You still had him on the list of applicants. That is why I said something.
