Okay, I made an actual alias containing my submission.
Been brewing for a few days now, and I think I have a more concrete concept together.
How do you feel about Vishkanya? Was thinking about an Intrigue Oracle/Mesmerist focused super heavy on illusions and mind-affecting stuff.
The Intrigue Mystery has a revelation that, at 11th level, allows you to constantly have a shifting polymorph form, as Disgusie Self but permanent, even when sleeping.
I imagine her as a former slave of the Runelord of Xin-Shalast, freed once he arrived and kicked him out.
Spy, secret agent, assassin, defensive mage, very versatile with her illusions and tricks.
Still Amethyst.
I started to rework the character to a human.
Please remove Nymz from the list and add Trakas
Still work to be done on it but most of it is ready to go. I will keep checking though it to see what I missed and what mistakes I made.
Thanks again
Jovich
@bigrig- that sounds like an interesting concept... is there any reason you couldn't do it with a pre-approved race? Nagaji are allowed if you're really into the serpent thing... or a tiefling might bring some of what you're looking for? I'll consider allowing a vishkanya but you'll have to post here or PM me with a reason why that race is crucial to your character. Also, there may be some opportunities in the adventure spy/secret agent type stuff but if you overspecialize on that you may find yourself less effective/useful than you could be a lot of the time (plus, the god-king that the knights serve isn't really alright with assassinations).
I think Vishkanya is especially important to her character because I see her as a very manipulative, charm/illusion based character. And Vishkanya fit that idea more over the more brutal or rough nagaji.
(Vishkanya have +2 to Charisma and Dexterity, while Nagaji are +2 to Charisma and Strength.)
Remember, she’d have a million different forms and identies to cover herself with while in town or the like, so fitting in would be an issue. It’s actually her specialty.
She wouldn’t use her poison unless necessary to survive, as that isn’t a part of her identity or the way she works in general.
And of course she’d haves ton of offensive power, what with mesmerist and oracle’s spell lists. The social aspect of her would likely be mainly roleplay focused, as she worries about social connections and drama and secrets and such.
Alright, realized I'd forgotten to decide on one of the mythic path abilities and have now taken care of that.
@bigrig- I see. Kitsune are also known for manipulation and enchantments, and beastbrood tieflings are deceptive and manipulative... and both are associated with changing shape (and both have +2 Dex/Cha)... Those are both on the list of approved races, is there a reason neither of them work?
Meh, don’t really enjoy the idea of kitsune.
It’s okay, I’ll make it work with something else, most likely an Aasimar or Tiefling.
But the general idea (classes and whatnot) sounds fine to you?
Important Reminder
Recruitment closes at 11:59pm GMT, on Friday; that’s just a few minutes more than 48 hours from now.
@bigrig- That’s kind of a vague question... If you’re asking about mechanics: that particular combo doesn’t add anything to the mesmerist base stats (you’d still have the same BAB/saves/skill points), but there’s good Cha synergy and you’d have a handful of tricks up your sleeve; it’s not ideal, but it’s certainly not bad. If you’re asking about the concept: I don’t see any problem with a mesmerist being an Oracle, or vice versa.

Alrighty, I've been lurking for several days, putting the character together, but here she is- Ae Veer, a Shoanti Druid 11/Psychic (Symbiosis) 11. I know the psychic magic doesn't sit well, but the Symbiosis powers just seemed too fitting to pass up. I'd be ok with using the arcane or divine rules of magic instead, if that sits easier.
Some important things:
Gem: Green (Emerald): Well, there’s the obvious answer of nature! And Ae Veer’s connection to nature, to the plants and animals within her domain, being able to see all and feel the emotions running wild throughout the land, is certainly a major part of her character. She is nature- obsessed, literally feeling the land itself. But the choice of green goes deeper than just the connection to nature. Green is about growth, and Ae Veer’s journey to who she is now is all about growth. Whether its personal growth (shirking her responsibilities as an unruly apprentice to the leader of the Quah), to growth of a clan (altering the pretty bad nature of human sacrifice to something much more neutral), Ae Veer is all about growth. I want to represent that even further, how she inspires herself, and others, to grow. I think the more she interacts with Aegoreth and the other Gem Knights, the more ‘Good’ she’s going to become.
Playstyle: She’s an information gatherer, utilizing her plant and animal friends to scout/gather information/detect anything that goes on within her realm of influence. If something threatens that realm, she’ll reluctantly do battle, utilizing hordes of summons and various plant- themed spells to hinder and hamper opponents.
The backstory and link to her character sheet are in her page. I did send you a PM, DM Nate, so let me know if this is appropriate (I really hope it is!).
If there's anything else I need, let me know!
I think I have Chak pretty much ready. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see.
Ae- I did PM you back (which you may have seen already), unfortunately it’s not great news... the psychic stuff is alright (I don’t object to it, I’m just not as familiar with it as I am with arcane and divine magic) but I think you may need to adjust your Druid archetypes (and possibly tweak your background) to fit with the feel of this game. Sorry.
@GM - Did you need anything else from Amelia? I think I have everything but Lilly's build (sorry, been buried at work, and my mother was in an accident this afternoon, so today was not conducive to building characters).

here is the character sheet for Roy Mythweavers sheet for Roy
Roy is relatively new to the Gem Knights, He rose quickly due to his fiery and almost impetus nature. He is always willingly to bring the glory of Aergoreth to the world, and often gives small "sermons" where he goes. He is just as avid about removing threats to the world and those deemed in need of being removed by Aergoreth.
His weapon was one passed down his family for generations (his father is a half elf, however Roy turned out to be "human")
Roy takes to his work with a zealous passion and valor, his personality, is equally as passionate, and volatile. Roy is brash, acting off instinct, emotion, and his own conscious more often than not. He is the type that would save a child, and risk the lives of others, over sacrificing the child and guaranteeing saving the others. Part of it is due to his confidence in his abilities, and part due to his natural inclination to act, not wait. To friends, he is kind and friendly, if a little overbearing. To enemies he is a flaming inferno. One could say he lives life to its fullest, always seeming to enjoy something about what he is doing.
Gem Connection, Ruby: Passion, brashness, valor/courage, energy, love, fire, rage/wrath.
As said, Roy if full of passion, courage, and holds a love of life in everything, even in fighting (sometimes a bit too much in fighting).
@Amelia- I’m not too worried about Lilly’s build; in a regular game your pet is a really significant part of your overall character but gestalt and mythic both reduce that and both together makes it not a huge deal.

So, upon some reflection, I realized something about Aballas.
I made Batman. It completely by accident, and the backstory isn't the same, but...
Dark Knight, super intelligent, excellent at planning, world's greatest detective, looks intimidating but is actually very kind and gentle towards those in need of such care, and ruthless towards evildoers, but held in check by a very strict personal moral code....
Yeah... That wasn't intentional, but it is cool I guess.
A little bit more than 22 hours left...
I know that’s a weird time increment, I wanted to post at 24 hours but I had RL stuff going on.
I can hardly wait, good luck to everyone.
Yes, good luck all!
Good luck all!
May the Force be with you all.
Wait, wrong genre.
And may the odds be ever in your favor?
No, that's still not it.
Good luck everyone! It'll be some rigorous competition, certainly. Nate Lange is in for a tough choice.
Luck to all.
Still here, just waiting til after selection deadline to nail the rest down. Good luck all!
I don't envy our DM for the hard choice, and good luck to whomever gets chosen.
Almost finished...I think all I need to do is finish up the background.
Good luck y’all!
Writing up my story and getting the final touches down for my Sorceror/Oracle illusionist, and I wanted to know where our Mythic power came from? Is that up to us or did the God-King give it to us?
@DM
Character is as complete as I am able to get it. I may have missed something or made a mistake here or there...So I will correct or adjust anything when and if I am selected.
I have not read anything on the Rise of the Runelord AP as I am currently running through it on the boards. I do not want to know too much about it. For this reason I left the end of the background open for you to insert the character into the story as you wanted to. I wish I had more time to write the ending better but my youngest has just started to sleep in a bed. She was all over the house the last couple of nights and I am very tired from lack of sleep. LOL
Thank you again fro running this game.

It says in the OP that we passed the lesser test of the Starstone.
Can’t get the inspiration together for her character in time, I’ll be bowing out of this one.
Good luck to all, and have fun!

While this sounds pretty cool and i prepared an awesome character i will redraw my submission, since i am in quite some games already at the moment.
Good luck to everyone else and lots of fun!
Hopes and dreams for a dragon bestie destroyed!
Just under 2 hours to go, post now or forever hold your peace.
Here is my submission Jonuli Mudarch He's a sorcerer dragon disciple / fighter.
He will be the Yellow Diamond Knight.
He still needs geared and might have some other minor changes. He is dual mythic pathed champion/archmage.
Got it Trawets, with an hour to spare!
*Recruitment is Officially Closed*
Thank you all for your interest! And, a special thank you to Jereru for playing keeper of the list. It’ll take me some time to really evaluate the over-twenty applications that came in, and work out an interesting (and reasonably balanced) party; I’m hoping to post decisions on Monday.

A special thank you to Jereru for playing keeper of the list.
I want to make clear I have zero hopes of it influencing your decision. I did it to help myself see the bigger picture, since I was quite undecided. Then it just became natural to keep on with it.
Thank you all for your interest and your patience. You certainly didn't make the decision making process easy! After much deliberation, the brave knights embarking on this quest are:
Gavin Soleques [JoeLudwick], the diamond knight
Gabriel, Sol Invictus [Jereru], the fire opal knight
Indrana [Drogeney], the pink beryl knight
Yvegni Pekar [BinkyBo], the amethyst knight
Jonuli Mudarch [trawets71], the yellow tourmaline knight*
You five please check in to the discussion thread (which I should have set up first but didn't think to... it'll be available very soon).
Everyone else- sorry! Piecing together a reasonably balanced party without repeating color/stones was tough. If anyone fails to check in to the discussion thread within the next 48 hours or so I'll PM them and then may replace them, so it might not hurt to check in again later in the week. Also, as I mentioned before, if/when I run a second adventure there might be a change in which knight are sent so if you like your character you could hold on to a copy just in case...
Well that's some crushing disappointment. Good luck and have fun to the chosen.
Have fun everyone!
Well done, those selected! Have fun.
Have fun y'all!
