It’s been a couple of weeks and I haven’t heard anything so I will withdraw my submission. Good luck all.
... wow, I have to be honest... I forgot to do anything further with my rolls on this one. Given I never withdrew, I guess that gives me some time to actually come up with a submission. Will turn to on that now, assuming The Nine hasn't closed the recruitment without my realizing it.
So still working on the details, but here is a rough idea of what I would be bringing to the table if selected:
Cyrius Vrast (NG)
STR: 16
DEX: 19
CON: 11
INT: 10
WIS: 10
CHA: 16
Nationality: Varisian
Ethnicity: Human (half Chelish, half Nidalese)
Class: Fighter (Gloomblade) 7
Feats: Weapon Focus (Starknife); Weapon Versatility (Starknife); Weapon Finesse; Point Blank Shot; Startoss Style; Weapon Specialization (Starknife); Startoss Comet; Startoss Shower; Vital Strike
Known for: Shadow weapons (especially starknives) and solid black +1 Shadow Darkleaf cloth Hide armor (Name Vrast’s Embrace)
Vrast’s Embrace: +5 AC, Max Dex: 6, AC check: 0; Arcane Spell Failure: 10%; Weight: 12 1/2 LB; Speed: 20 FT; Special: +5 competence bonus to Stealth checks.
Who were you: Ostensibly, the son of a group of traveling Varisian performers. In actuality, the son of one of the Nidalese emmisaries to Cheliax and the infernal magistrate she advises, stolen away at age 2 by worshipers of Desna and hidden among said traveling performers. Raised to worship Desna, but finds himself drawing shadows to himself like a cloak. Birth parents had been conflicted on how to raise him, both having promised him to their respective gods (Zon-Kuthun having a special interest, after all, all Nidalese are by rights his, but Asmodeus also having a stake due to contracts made by the father).
How did you die: Defending the caravan from attackers, the chipped starknife in his hands dissipating back into the shadows from which it was formed.
Still need to sort out a few things (skill points, ability point adjustments, traits) and I want to do a more proper backstory, but wanted you to have a submission to look at in the meantime at least.
Any room left? Haven't read most of it, but it seems interesting.

The GM had said that he would be making selections about now:
The holidays are kicking my ass more than I expected, this is not dead, just on hiatus until 2nd week of january.
That said he hasn't said anything here since then, so you probably have enough time to draft up something if you are interested.
What type of characters do you already have?
Rolls:
Second Rolls:
Going with the second ones, I'm thinking a bard or a fighter. Looks like people have already submitted both, but Mr. Bard has withdrawn, so I'll probably go with that. Is there a way my special item can be an instrument?
Just realized my first set has three normal rolls, I'll just the other set instead of trying to figure out which to use.
I'll roll dice. I have a notion bubbling for a Dhampir caster, oracle or sorcerer.
I prefer that second set. :)
Well, I haven't heard a response on my instrument inquiry, so here's two options:
If instruments aren't allowed:
That's all of my submission requirements, I'll finish up the alias and wait for news.
First off, is this still accepting applications?
Second, what's the timeline look like? Specifically, is Lastwall gone yet? I've got in mind a spy for Lastwall in Urgur, who got found out. I think it still works even if Lastwall is gone, he's just stuck behind the lines with no place to go home.

Urien Gul. Dhampir. Created in shadow, touched by shadow, but not subservient to shadow. He is cursed, body and soul, but a core of stubborness kept him from falling to his inherited urges.
Urien used his growing power over shadow to battle undead and other horrors in his native Ustalav. He knew well the value of allies and did his utmost to keep them safe from the horrors of the night. He took great satisfaction in holding together the group that finally took down his "father", Valens Arkmoor, for good. As a prize, Urien seized a simple black iron circlet from the ruined castle's throne room. It felt important.
However, he had not realised that a gathering of vampires had been arranged for that very night. They arrived before Urien and his companions could flee, and they had to barricade themselves into the castle itself.
The vampires assaulted, realising what had occured. One swore blind when it saw Urien wearing the circlet - "The Tenebrous Band! The fool Valens left it in sight! Slay the whelp now!"
Urien used the vampire's focus on him to give his companions a chance to escape.
Better one perish than all, Urien mused calmly, before the spawn charged and their masters struck...
Dhampir with Dayborn
Oracle of Shadow
Curse - not decided but likely related to shadow or undeath
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Well if it works for you, I think going post-Lastwall gives him a certain urgency. This is a half-orc, either an UnRogue or an Investigator (Infiltrator), who worked for the forces of Lastwall, and whose job was to spy in Urgir, observe and report on what the orcs were up to. After the destruction of Lastwall, he was eventually discovered and cut down by Empty Hand shock troopers.
Set 1:
Set 2:
Set 1 there looks tasty.
Let me see if I can get something together on the quick. Thanks!

Ayden is indeed a rogue. I could have sworn I posted that. Sorry.
