Edit, wrong character posted here.
Finishing the mechanical aspects of her now, so will update post with a link to her sheet later, but I present Amahle, the Zenj Mwangi Unsworn Shaman. When she's finished, I'll post a link to her sheet in her name.
1) I'd like 5+ points that capture the concept and story of the character. More are welcome, but no less than five.
-Blessed from birth with a connection to the positive energy energy plane, Amahle was put on a path to become a shaman at an early age.
-Instead of favoring a specific weapon, Amahle's hair is her primary weapon; almost always moving on its own, the tribe believes her hair is blessed or possessed by the tribes ancestor spirits.
-Amahle was convinced to leave her tribe after her spirit animal, the reptile-bird Khona guided her towards the Jenivere.
-Amahle tends to be fairly serious minded, though occasionally lets her disposition slip revealing a healthy enjoyment of company and simpler pleasures in life as opposed to the comparatively focused life she's lived.
2) Two goals that you'd like the character to accomplish in-game.
etc.
-Amahle believes the spirits are sending her on a quest to help or protect someone, but she's not sure who or what. Following the spirits guidance has led her to the Jenivere; Amahle believes she is going to help save or protect someone from something, but doesn't know the specifics or even why she feels that way.
3) Two secrets, one the PC keeps to himself, and one kept from the PC. I'll come up with a third that both the character and player aren't aware of, in hopes of shocking surprises within the storytelling.
-As far as Amahle knows, her connection to the positive energy plane is simple a blessing from her tribes ancestors or at best, a random chance that happened to affect her. However, what she doesn't know is she is actually an incredibly distant descendant of Old Man Jatembe, the legendary mage whom many mages regard as "the Father of Magic."
4) 3-5 people that are tied to your PC by blood, love, rivalry, honor, etc. I'd like at least one enemy in a set of three or four, with no more than two for a set of five.
-Aviwe is/was a childhood and adolescent friend of Amahles; he was picked as a prodigy, and believed to be a candidate for the Ten Magic Warriors (there's more than 10, but that's just the name of them). Aviwe was a strong, handsome youth with a high mental acuity. Amahle and Aviwe had a teenage romance they thought they kept secret (they failed miserably, but no one actually cared), but as they entered more intense elements of their respective careers, they began seeing less and less of each other. Now 22, Amahle hasn't seen Aviwe in 3 years, and doesn't expect to see him after she boards the Jenivere.
-Mandla was Amahle's teacher; an old mystic who largely seemed more interested in his wine and songs than actually teaching Amahle and mentoring her. Yet, somehow after studying under him, Amahle could begin to hear the voices of the spirits clearer, and she was able to perform magic. Amahle respects and adores the old man with his eccentricities, but she believes Mandla wasn't a particularly powerful shaman. In truth, he just enjoys his retirement job of teaching the youth and reminiscing.
5) Three key memories that define your character as the person they are at the time of submission.
Fighter here. Background in progress in alias.
Sorry, but I cannot come up with a character in time while at work.
I will have to withdraw from consideration, unless the GM is willing to let me finish off my character tonight.
Was thinking a dwarven ranger. but will not have him done until later tonight.

A little last-minute, but I present Fatham, Bloodrager 1, for your consideration.
Please note that though his first level is Bloodrager, he will be a Wizard and Eldritch Knight for all remaining levels, so he will play more like a skirmisher and wizard with a backup plan.
Here is Rysky’s submission :3
I ended up picking Hunter Ravener due to general all roundedness (buffs/healing/skills, later debuffs and damage as well) of the Archetype and Class. Most likely going to pick Life Mystery for Channel and other healing stuff. Feats would also go along that, most likely going for Healer’s Hands, using knowledge of demon hunting and medicine to heal and deal with potential poisons :3
As requested,
5 points
1) Saaz would be more than happy to lounge around in hedonism and luxury, but after years of hearing stories about demons plaguing the expanse and living in a city of assassins she simply can’t abide living out the rest of her life in a gilded cage.
2) Even as a dwarf has gotten very little interaction with old or even ancient structures so would be delighted to see or explores ancient places, ruins or not.
3) is not used to being alone so would very much like to find someone (or someones) to keep her warm on cold nights. And not-cold nights as well.
4) has been in spars and fights but has never killing anything before. She’s pretty sure the assassins in the city look down on her for it, she just knows it.
5) she thinks the Red Mantis outfits are adorable, but has enough awareness to not say that to their face. But seriously, they got deely-boppers.
2 goals
1) do something with her life that brings good into the world, whether defeating demons or helping people in some other way.
2) meet cute people.
2 secrets
1) she knows Daga isn’t a legitimate dwarven clan, and something her mother made up as a cover.
2) she doesn’t know her mother used to work for the army of Qadira as an Ashiftah, and fled to Mediogalti as a means of retirement before fleeing again, apparently an island full of assassins in the middle of nowhere wasn’t as safe as she thought.
3 people
1) Samira, Saaz’s mother, gave birth to her and raised her right in Ilizmagorti. Raising consisting of mixing small doses of poisons in with all her meals and traveling off for months at a time. She has recently disappeared.
2) Baaz, a Catfolk Ravener Hunter sho did the actual raising of Saaz, hugs, feeding non poisoned food and drink, the usual parent stuff. An old traveling buddy of Samira, he offered to watch after Saaz and teach her how to defend herself, but would obviously like to be anywhere else, another reason for Saaz’s departure as well, to free the kind old car from his cage as well.
3) Hector, a Red Mantis Assassin Saaz has hooked up with at bars more than once (all bars in Ilizmagorti are assassin bars, who knew). She liked to tease him about “redeeming” him through sex like in stories, which annoyed him to no end. Surprisingly, outside of booze and sex they did not get along.
3 memories
1) the first time she found out what the Red Mantis actually were and what they did.
2) the first time cuddling Baaz as a child, falling asleep to his purring, she had never felt so safe.
3) when she finally got Baaz to tell her stories about the Fiends in the Mwangi, right before he started to train her as a Ravener.
Good luck everyone!
Now comes the most tense and exciting time of any recruitment!
Yay, Thankies!
Hehe no worries, should be able to play nicely :3
Congratulations to all those who got picked and I look forward to playing with those at Table 2!
There were a lot of interesting characters that were submitted. A lot of them gave me some ideas for a couple of new characters that I've been working on.
Have a good game and thank your the consideration!
Wow! I got chosen and haven't finished my backstory x.x
I want to give special thanks to Robert Henry for keeping a list of interested players in this thread. Usually, that guarantees you a slot at the table but being that you're in 2 of my games already I wanted to give the slot to someone new. I hope you understand.
Cool, I was hoping to get in a longer AP, but I certainly understand. Congratulations to those who got in, good luck and good gaming to all!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play on one of your tables. Congratulations to the selected players on both tables and best of luck to those still wishing to get into a game. :)
Congrats and good gaming folks!
