Hi. We are searching for a new companion for this legacy of fire crew.
We have an Inquisitor, a Bard and a Sorcerer.
20 point build, no min-max characters, CRB races, other races need approval first.
The original recruistment was here, for more details about build requirements and such.
We're currently at character level 2.

This sounds perfect for me - so I'll pull something together and get it to you in the next few hours :)
Do the genie-kin races also need GM approval? I know next to nothing of this AP but I'd figure them to work great for it.
EDIT: first thoughts on character are either a sensate fighter or a kinetic knight (it looks like this party could use a frontline presence)
OK, as promised, here is the fluff of the character. I've started the build, but held back until you either liked or disliked the concept in terms of how they might fit in.
Background
It is an all too familiar story – children of travellers becoming orphans due to bandits, beasts and sometimes even the elements. Manuk was no different – her parents died at the hands of slavers, whilst she was spared. Children, apparently, were more easily controlled and had a longer (likely) lifespan, and so fetched a better price for the investment.
A relatively plain child, she ‘scrubbed up well’ and had a smile that allowed her to woo an old woman who took pity and paid over the odds for her at market. It was, for Manuk, at least a chance for regular meals, new clothes and a modicum of learning – as she was taught to play a number of musical instruments. She found them fascinating – which endeared her even more to the old woman.
Alas, the woman’s only son was less virtuous, and had designs on the young Manuk. Fortunately, she was able to evade his clutches – until the fateful day when the old woman died. Understanding that slavery did not end with the owner’s death, Manuk knew she had to do something – and so ran away – as far as she could.
Knowing the authorities would not spend too much time looking for a teenage girl, she kept her head down and eked out a living by picking pockets on the streets of Oppara. As chance would have it, she found she could make good money through begging and lacking an instrument to play, sang songs – which is where she was first considered to join one of the bardic colleges, and was working her way through the entrance examinations when a more clandestine organisation showed an interest.
And so, trained in a hidden Shadow Schools beneath the streets of Oppara, Manuk was schooled in the arts of a Lion Blade of Taldor. Her background was perfect. She was used to crowded urban areas and had become master of motion, controlling both her own movement and those around her. She was taught to deliver a quick flick with a blade, and slow her enemy to a crawl and then step into the crowd and disappear from sight. Her background in musical instruments and her singing voice – plus ability to create songs on the fly were considered a real asset.
So, a full year into her training and not yet considered worthy of taking on missions for the Lion Blades, she was expected to hone her craft in the field – with a specific brief to be the eyes and ears of the Blades by taking on any opportunity that came along – and by doing so perfect her art in the real world.
Manuk Gagak
Anyone would might see her in action, might pigeon-hole her as a rogue, but given she’d truly neutral in her outlook (she thinks of good as better than evil) and is not personally committed to upholding the law and so acts without prejudice or compulsion – but simply does as the Lion Blades dictate. Personal gain does not enter into her psyche.
Her lack of strength means she always plans to get close to her victim and will use stealth or her charisma to achieve the mission, be that a kill or to gain valuable information. She may not be strong, but she is agile and uses this to compensate when others underestimate her abilities. She's smart enough and also charming when it suits her.
Manuk has short dark hair and is of above-average height for a woman and is slender in build. She wears dark clothes, typically leather, and wears a loose-fitting cloak over the top.
I'm working on a half-orc alchemist. I'll try to get an avatar made by the end of the day today.

** spoiler omitted **...
I like the fluff. From the description I guess Unchained Rogue?
I never played Legacy of Fire, but for some reason it always gives me the urge to create a gnoll ranger, or... Barbarian. Running over the desert sands with his roving band of companions :D
Since this is CRB races, I am feeling an half-orc Bloodrager maybe - going over the player’s guide now. Be right back!

You never know what a player digs up, from some players guide or campaign setting, so yes - geniekind (whatever this includes) also need approval. My approval isn't hard to get if the fluff makes sense and the result isn't overpowered.

Sorry to disappoint you, but no gnolls. As for Barbarian: it would have to be a very interesting build, that doesn't totally overshadow the other characters. A well built (to DPR) barbarian could easily finish many fights on his own, and that is not the goal here.
Bloodrager is more versatile, but keep in mind what I wrote about the barbarian here too.

Actually a Lion Blade (which was published in the Taldor sourcebook to coincide with the second installment of the Legacy of Fire AP). I'll work on the crunch now :)
Understood Foxy - I dislike rocket tag races, so I never build 'overwhelming' characters ;)

Have a link? The only Lion Blade I found was a presstige class.
Dot. What deadline are you working for?
I have no set deadline. Once we have a PC that I and the current players agree upon, it will be over.
Have a link? The only Lion Blade I found was a prestige class.
Sorry, I should have explained better. It is a prestige class, but an odd one - in that you technically join as a novice, yet don't become a Lion Blade until you meet the prerequisites. It would be hard (from a story perspective) to suddenly become one, given the training required.
So yes, I will start out as a rogue and 'become' a fully-fledged Lion Blade at the appropriate time. Plan B was to start as a Bard, but I prefer the street urchin background better.
Hope this now makes sense :)
Here is Torfin Dustrider, Alchemist (Chirurgeon) of Solku. I plan on him picking up the Infusion Discovery to be able to buff party members and also use bombs for attacking.
I’ve got a half-orc archery ranger from a previous LoF campaign that dies at Level 1 that I’d like to submit. He *is* somewhat optimized, but specifically for fighting gnolls (ie Gnoll Killer trait and Favored Enemy Gnoll) but against anyone else he’s pretty ordinary.
Hey Pluck, where we end up?
*SQWAK!* You got drunk and sold as a slave
Hi GM,
I'd like to present Qot here for consideration. He is an ifrit paladin - and I recall you approved the ifrit idea on the first recruitment :) The profile has background, crunch and other details.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, I think I found a concept for this game I feel comfortable with - think I will present an half-orc based around the 'Earning Your Freedom' campaign trait. Even if I may not take the trait, I like the idea itself :D
In my head, and as a youngster he would have ran with a band of desert raiders, until they tried to attack the wrong target. Captured and enslaved, like the trait itself refers, he was passed from one master to the other - his spirit was not broken, but it was tamed, and once it did, it allowed his intelligence to shine through.
One of his masters understood this, began teaching him the basis of the Arcane Arts, namely how to blend blade and spell effectively, and made him his personal bodyguard. After a few years of servitude and learning, this is the chance to earn back his freedom - he will not squander it.
Mechanically I want to make him a STR based Magus, but their skills are lackluster in a wild environment to say the least. So I am pondering dipping a level of Bloodrager or Ranger to round him up better.
I should have some sort of crunch later today.
As tradition has it, you'd stand around in the most suspicious and dangeroud district of town. The party comes along, startled by your presence. And then someone would say "He looks trustworthy."
But for reals: The points of entrance are only limited by your imagination. Or if it comes to the worst: mine. I can quickly come up with two or three options.

Hi, I'd like to submit a Suli Bloodrager with the Id Rager Archetype.
Anwar is a Katapeshi who took the surname Jannizadeh after finding out that he is a geniekin. He is young, reckless and an absolute sweetheart.
Desperate to join the Pathfinder Society, Anwar has heard of something going down in Kelmarane involving a group of adventurers. He is absolutely sure that his brand of aggressive helpfulness is just what they need.
A short summary.
We got
Omari the Landless, M’wangi priest of Erastil - Human - Cleric (Archer) - searching for Haleen.
Roryx - half-orc - magus (hexcrafter) 1/ranger 1 (melee fighter?)
About Anwar Jannizadeh - Suli - Bloodrager (melee fighter)
Qot La'Jal's page - Ifrit - Paladin (2H meleee fighter)
Torfin Duststrider's - Alchemist
Half done:
Ouachitonian - half-orc archery ranger
FluffSeeker - Lion Blade - melee fighter
If I missed someone in the already crowded list, please point it out to me. For anyone who hasn't posted yet in this threat already it's now too late.
Foxy - Given I really want to invest in creating P2e characters, I've decided not to progress my application. Many thanks for considering me and good luck in finding your new player :)
Roryx - half-orc - magus (hexcrafter) 1/ranger 1 (melee fighter?)
Correct Foxy! Melee combatant, but hopefully a versatile one, and with a few Arcane tricks up his sleeve :D
I'm sorry, I didn't catch the timeline.
Azid (aero kinetic knight) will be posted by tonight at the latest.
Ok, this is Ouachitonian's submission. Should be complete.
Is it bad that I actually came up with another idea for a character?
I decided that if there were ever I time to play a genie-binder it's in Legacy of Fire. Gilsha Jannizade is a Summoner with a Marid companion. The Eidolon is a melee front-liner and the summoner is a support/utility caster. Eventually I'll take some levels in the prestige class.
Gilshah was part of a nomadic community in rural Katapesh. When she was a child she claimed to have a friend whoa was a genie. Her family dismissed the child's claims as a mere imaginary friend. One day Gilshah confronted her mother about why she was never told about her real father's origins. The imaginary friend told the young girl the truth, that she was descended from genie-kind. Afterwards, Gilshah became emotionally distant from her family, isolating herself with her otherworldly playmate.
Upon reaching the age of majority, Gilshah took the name Jannizadeh to reflect her true heritage and made her way to the ton of Kelmarane. By her side is her dearest friend and protector Abenahir a juvenile Marid. She needs to nurture her connection to her ancestry for there is power in it; power she seeks to claim!
Yesterday was my turn in the barrel at work. I have Azid's crunch done, but he's fighting me on the backstory. :) If there's some sort of deadline, shall I assume I missed it?
There is no set deadline. The characters are in review now. Just make your work in progress available.
I personally don't need a long backstory for the decision, even though it can be fun to read them. Some reason to be around and to get an idea who Azid is in three lines is enough for me.
Fair enough, thanks for LMK! :) In which case, I'll get that up this afternoon.
Sorry for the delay, here's the info on Azid.

Azid spent his childhood among one of the tribes of half-orcs in western Katapesh. Growing up he was constantly getting into fights with his peers, who mocked him for his odd appearance, but he gave as well as he got, and soon enough the odd squalls and bursts of wind that seemed to break out when he was angry dissuaded too many more challenges.
When he came of age, the tribe was visited by a wizard named ul-Zariq. He informed Azid that he was a “Son of Thunder,” and as such ul-Zariq offered to take him off to the city of Katapesh. ul-Zariq helped Azid understand his connection to the power of storms, and refine it into a weapon he could use. The wizard never divulged what master he was serving, but had the boy accompany him on some trade missions between Katapesh, Sothis and Katheer.
Now, in a move Azid is assuming to be some manner of “final test,” ul-Zariq has told him that there is some trouble with gnolls in the area near a town called Kelmarane. Azid is to investigate and help put an end to the gnoll threat by any means necessary.
This recruitment has come to an end.
The characters to join the game are:
Omari the Landless (pad300)

Roryx (Albion the Eye)
Please say hello in discussion. We'd talk about entrance to gameplay in Privte Message.
