Oh nooooo! Paizo ate it!
I'll retype it up tomorrow. Damn :(
I am pretty goofy from it being so late but I got my character done. I think. Might be some errors, but I think everything is good. If you have any questions let me know, sir.
Here's Anariel.
@Allabaster: You have the tattooed sorcerer archetype, but it doesn't seem to factor into your character at all flavor wise.
It's funny you say that because the Tattooed Sorcerer Archetype was one of the things that really helped me define the character.
Thematically: Allabaster is a classically trained scribe/illuminator who uses his own skin to scribe his magic on.
Mechanically: Tattoed Sorcerer also provides his familiar which to me is one of the most defining aspects of the character. It's the only person he has known his entire life. A pet so much a part of him... that it eventually through his magic became a physical part of him.
Story wise: In my head I have this image of this kid who cheated every conceivable way to make it through school. He would look at other kids papers, plagiarize books from the library, steal test answers from teachers desks, have his familiar whisper answers to him from under the desk, and even write the answers on his own skin. At any given moment if he crossed his legs and pulled up his pant leg you never knew what piece of information you would find. Maybe a map of Ustalav, a diagram of the Royal families tree, or possibly a mathematical equation. As he progressed in life and his studies took on a more magical tone this pattern would simply have continued for him. However now instead of writing the answer to a test on his skin it's a fully developed and cast spell.
@lazulin: Student Leyng hails from Lingshen, one of the Successor States that comprises the remains of Lung Wa.
Backstory added now, sorry about that!
Deaths Adorable Apprentice here. This is my PC I am submitting.
I'd love to put forth a character for consideration. Ilystria Leafheart, Gathlain Oracle of Nature. I went outside the box a little with the race, but how many opportunities to play a fey creature is a girl going to get? Seeing as there are quite a bit of First Worlders within Ustalav, I didn't think it was too much of a stretch. The background is complete, but I may expound more on her personality when the inspiration strikes me.
Ideally, I see her as a dedicated healer and party buffer. Her animal companion would be helping with the front line. The Spirit Guide archetype will offer a lot of utility, but for the most part, I think she'd remain pretty firmly bonded with the spirit of life when she gets to that point.
Please let me know what you think!
EDIT: Here's the information for her animal companion, Fenmaer.
Inquisitor of Kelinahat reporting for duty...
I think my story is a bit light, i'll try and flesh it out a bit more according to example pc's feel free to give me pointers on areas you'd like more in GM.
@Sigvald: How did Sigvald end up worshiping Kelinahat?
@KatGrey: Looks great!
@Relic: Lorrimor hasn't been buried yet; ideally your backstory ends with a letter informing you of his death
OH, I see! That can be quickly and easily edited in instead, then!
I'm going to bow out; too much going on to be able to take on another PbP. Good luck, all!
I added several lines to the background and fixed a few others, explaining the background of kelinahat
Hi Lazulin, Chess here! Here's my submission for the game. :) I apologize for writing a lot, but the background and story parts are the fun parts of RP, right? I can summarize more if necessary.
I'm going to submit Cassandra for your consideration. She's been in many Carrion Crown adventures, none of which made it out of Ravengro (I'm beginning to think it's me).
Kandoo and Mathias are two different sides of the same coin. Both tortured souls, it could be interesting to see how they play out alongside each other!
Sorry, but due to time constraints, I, too, must take myself out of the running for character submission. Best of luck to all!
Is there anything you would like me to add to Beatrix or expand upon?
I still want to play! Either as the magus I submitted or an alchemists. I love both classes

Wow, didn't realize there were so many applications. Best of luck to everyone!
That is a rather long list. Good luck to everyone
Have y'all applied to a lot of PBPs before? What's a normal amount of applicants? I've only applied to 2-3 others but they've all had like 25+ applicants.
@Alec-
That's very very typical on these boards. Even homebrews from scratch get around 10+ players applying for a game.
But there's a boatload of GM's on here as well, so xD

This may be off-topic for the thread, but why are y'all drawn to PBP games? Do y'all work funky hours or just like to check in online during the week when you're not playing with your "main" group?
For me I just moved to Europe since my SO got a Fulbright, so while I prefer in-person games my language skills aren't quite on her level so I'm looking for some games in my native tongue :p
I've kind of always been drawn to online play-it was always hectic for my in-town playgroup to play, and we've all since moved to different cities anyways. I learned how to play Pathfinder on roll20, and from there it was easy to make the switch to just playing by post. It's kind of just easier to play this way anyways. I have a weird work schedule, so it's just more convenient to put up a few posts for an hour every day, instead of having to set aside a bunch of hours once or twice a week for an in-person game.
I like play by post for the ease of play and the level of depth that can be gone into for each character. A table can get very hectic and noisy. Play by post allows for a deeper immersion into your character. A table game simply does not allow for the amount of individual development and one on one time.
Not to say that I do not like table games. Both have their ups and downs. The main downside to play by post is that misunderstandings are easier since you cannot see the person and that due to lag or real life some games fall apart. But that is a potential with table games too.
The table I both play and run at is very hectic. We are a slow group who spend half the time laughing about something that just happened as opposed to playing. Which is nice, laughter is always a good thing, but it causes all of our games to move at a snails pace. Some of our players are easily distracted, at times we all are. I certainly laugh more there but I tend to get better character interaction and story development in play by post.
Yay! Good luck to you all in your future endeavors!
Congratulations all!
Damn, I am cursed with this campaign. Have fun!
Congrats!
