Let's see some stats
Here's an orc investigator. I'm assuming standard gold for 4th level? Can adjust equipment if necessary.
Morgash Skullcrusher: CN Orc Investigator 4
Morgash Skullcrusher was born into the savage Skullcrusher tribe, a clan of naval orcs who plundered ships up and down the coast. Raised amidst the tempest of battle, his keen mind distinguished him early on. In the middle of battle he was able to find patterns, predicting enemy movements and exploting weaknesses. His talents did not go unnoticed, catching the eye of Borgak, a seasoned half-orc elder within the tribe, who recognized the potential in young Morgash and took him under his wing. Under Borgak's guidance, Morgash began to learn the mysteries of alchemy.
However, the Skullcrusher tribe's reign of terror eventually drew unwanted attention. One fateful day, their ships fell prey to a well-coordinated ambush by the warships of a nearby city-port. Outmatched and outnumbered, the tribe faced annihilation. As the tide of battle turned against them and their vessels began to splinter beneath the onslaught, Morgash plunged into the icy waters, where he remained hidden amidst the wreckage, avoiding detection until the warships had left.
After making his way to shore, Morgash found himself adrift in the world, and has since been on his own.
Morgash is tall and broad-shouldered. His skins is weathered from a lifetime battling the elements and his enemies. His hands and lower arms bear the marks from various alchemical experiments gone awry, but further up his arm the scars are more deliberate, forming a pattern of orcish symbols and mystical runes.
Beneath his armour he wears plain nautical gear and his attire is complemented by a many-pocketed belt containing his various alchemical components. A greataxe is strapped to his back.
Beneath his scars and imposing appearance, Morgash is a calculated strategist and always analyses whatever situation with a careful eye. While he holds physical strength in high regard, he recognizes the value of diverse skills and the importance of cooperation within a crew in order to achieve greater things than could be done separately.

Inspiration (Ex) (ACG 31) (8 /day): You begin each day with 8 inspiration points in your pool. You can expend one use of inspiration to add 1d6 to the result of an ability or skill check (including taking 10 or 20). This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. You can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided you are trained in the skill. You can also use inspiration on saving throws (as an immediate instead of free action) and attack rolls, but doing so expends two uses of inspiration from your pool.

You can only have one target of studied combat at a time, and once a creature has become the target of your studied combat, it cannot become the target of your studied combat again for 24 hours unless you expend one use of inspiration when taking the action to use this ability.
Studied Strike (Ex) (ACG 34): You can choose to make a studied strike against the target of your studied combat as a free action, upon successfully hitting your studied target with a melee attack, to deal 1d6 additional damage. The damage of studied strike is precision damage

Yeah, not so much. This party is poor. You can have one of those magic items. They have less than one each.
Beyond that our rogue is an underground alchemist so you would both be close to the same. He is a goblin.
I am sure Manny would insist onbeing in charge.
Kiss my feet!

Further details, as requested!
Presenting Jabari Kybwa'ka, CG Male Human (Bonuwat) Ranger (Tidal Hunter) 4!
Alright, given the statements about relative party poverty, I based my purchases on the idea of WBL for a level 2 PC, rather than 4 (so, around 1000gp), and did not select any magical items - so basically, just some masterwork gear.
Jabari Kybwa'ka originated from a largely peaceful coastal Bonuwat community, which largely lived a subsistence lifestyle, harvesting the bounty of the ocean. Jabari's family, however, was one of the few 'specialised' clans - they were renowned pearl divers, who collected objects that could be traded to passing merchants for the items that the local community could not produce themselves.
Unfortunately, a group of pirates caught wind of this, and after ransacking the town one night, shanghai'ed Jabari. At first, he truly loathed his captors, but after a while, he began to sympathise with them (in the Stockholm Syndrome sense), eventually discovering that professing a fervent belief in Besmara would offer him a modicum of protection - and over time, the line between act and real belief blurred, until Jabari himself did not ken the difference.
Now, after being passed through several crews, Jabari does not remember, and probably would not recognise, the innocent young man that he once was - now, he revels in his position as a 'free' pirate.
That said, the only one he truly trusts is his pet snake - pirates can (and generally will) betray you, but you always know where you stand with a cold-blooded reptile.
I thought it would be fun to build a semi-aquatic PC, so I went with this build.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Eye For Talent (Replaces Human Bonus Feat)
Humans have great intuition for hidden potential. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks. In addition, when they acquire an animal companion, bonded mount, cohort, or familiar, that creature gains a +2 bonus to one ability score of the character’s choice. This racial trait replaces the bonus feat trait.
Heart of the Sea (Replaces Skilled)
Humans born near the sea are always drawn to it. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Profession (sailor) and Swim checks, and these are always class skills for them. They can hold their breath twice as long as normal, and spellcasters gain a +4 racial bonus on concentration checks when attempting to cast spells underwater. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Favored Enemy (Human):
+2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.
Waterborn (Su):
A tidal hunter can breathe water for up to 10 minutes per ranger level each day. At 6th level, he can breathe underwater indefinitely.
This replaces wild empathy and the 6th-level combat style feat.
Keen Scent (Ex):
A tidal hunter gains scent, as per the universal monster rule. At 12th level, while in water, the tidal hunter can detect particularly strong or distinct odors (such as blood) up to 1 mile away.
This replaces track and camouflage.
Aquatic Mastery (Ex):
At 3rd level, a tidal hunter must select water as his favored terrain, and he doesn’t gain additional favored terrains. At 8th level and every 5 levels thereafter, the bonus from this favored terrain increases by 2.
This alters favored terrain.
At higher levels, I will double-down on the 'grapple build' for the snake.

Waaait a minute... This is -not- a no gear run?
You should see Emma about taking a share of the treasure!
Do you know when you're going to close this? I love pirate games but I haven't chimed in because I was working on a submission for a different game (and know I don't really have the bandwidth to take on 2 new games right now). I should, hopefully, find out tomorrow if I got picked for that one and, if not, I'd be interested in submitting something for this. Maybe a party buffer, like an exemplar brawler or one of those skalds that can help swashbucklers (wyrm singer, I believe), or a ranged damage dealer, maybe a kineticist, if those are allowed?
Yeah, dropping the magic gear is no problem. Underground Chemist is pretty similar though, I kind of just skimmed the existing characters. hmm...
Could switch to Alchemist which'd let me keep most of the fluff. Or something completely different. Gotta think.
There was a request for something with at least a little bit of healing to back up the cleric which is now being done by an NPC.
I like some of the ideas guys, just not getting there yet.
...
Firstly, I reroll 1's for hp and on this one going with at least 50%.
You are due another feat and 3 skill points.Sanctified Buckler?
I’m still waiting to hear on the other game, but if I haven’t been picked for it (and there’s only one spot there too, so there’s a decent chance I haven’t) I have an idea for an Ulfen skald who would be a solid party buffer, be able to handle some secondary healing, and have enough UMD to potentially back up the full casters with scrolls or wands.
I need to make a decion soon
That’s fair. I’ll put together an actual submission this afternoon/evening (unless I hear from the other GM before then) and if you like it enough to offer a spot I’ll apologetically withdraw my submission from that game.
Just getting started but I thought I'd get hp out of the way...

To the best of my knowledge, feats and skills are correct.
I traded the human bonus feat for 'Eye for Talent', and 'Skilled' for 'Heart of the Sea'. I also took the Human alternative favored class bonus (to give my animal companion skill ranks instead), so I get a flat 6 skill ranks per level.
'Sanctified' costs 100gp, and basically adds a holy symbol to the surface of the shield (technically, you can channel to give it a +1 sacred bonus per channel dice versus one hit, but that isn't going to come into play!).
Basically, I just wanted a shield with the 'skull and crossbones' on it ;-)
There isn't really a way to turn a Ranger into a Healer (well, not effectively at any rate), so I can't really modify Janari to make him one, but I can roll an Occultist, if you like...?

No occult please. Would rather have ranger. You are human so you get a bonus feat and a skill point per level.
I have this fellow from a S&S game some years ago (2013). I believe we'd compete the first book (and he's 4th level). Some adjustments would be required to fit with the build rules for this game, of course. And I'd need time to reacquaint myself with him, if it looks like he'd be a good fit.
I'm out of time for the moment but here is my almost completed skald; everything should be in the profile except for his background. I'll try to post that later tonight (and, if I can't, I'll do it as soon as I can tomorrow); but the nutshell version is that he was born into an Ulfen raiding clan, orphaned--and marooned in the Shackles--at adolescence, and has been sailing on various pirate and/or smuggling ships pretty much ever since.
I spent less than 1,000 gold so hopefully the equipment is alright- I can adjust purchases in either direction if you like.
Switched class to Alchemist, got rid of fancy magic stuff, just kept MW main weapon.

I won't have time to finish writing out my background tonight (though I do have a rough outline in the profile), but I had a question about how we would join the party- do you have specific circumstances in mind: signing on in port, survivor from a captured crew, 'conscripted' by crew members from a local tavern late at night? It's not a huge deal, I'd just like to end my backstory ready to join if possible.

Alright, after a bit of scrounging, I have worked out a way for my Ranger to do some healing.
Drop Handle Animal, and replace it with Heal. Drop Survival, and replace it with Knowledge (Planes). Drop Rapid Shot, and replace it with Healer's Hands.
That way, I can do some in and out of combat healing, in a pinch.
Ideally, I would eventually like to get my hands on a Healer's Satchel (1500gp), but for the moment I will settle for a couple of Healer's kits and a set of surgeon's tools :-)
Wood saw does a fine job!

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Eye For Talent (Replaces Human Bonus Feat)
Humans have great intuition for hidden potential. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks. In addition, when they acquire an animal companion, bonded mount, cohort, or familiar, that creature gains a +2 bonus to one ability score of the character’s choice. This racial trait replaces the bonus feat trait.
Heart of the Sea (Replaces Skilled)
Humans born near the sea are always drawn to it. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Profession (sailor) and Swim checks, and these are always class skills for them. They can hold their breath twice as long as normal, and spellcasters gain a +4 racial bonus on concentration checks when attempting to cast spells underwater. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Favored Enemy (Human):
+2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.
Waterborn (Su):
A tidal hunter can breathe water for up to 10 minutes per ranger level each day. At 6th level, he can breathe underwater indefinitely.
This replaces wild empathy and the 6th-level combat style feat.
Keen Scent (Ex):
A tidal hunter gains scent, as per the universal monster rule. At 12th level, while in water, the tidal hunter can detect particularly strong or distinct odors (such as blood) up to 1 mile away.
This replaces track and camouflage.
Aquatic Mastery (Ex):
At 3rd level, a tidal hunter must select water as his favored terrain, and he doesn’t gain additional favored terrains. At 8th level and every 5 levels thereafter, the bonus from this favored terrain increases by 2.
This alters favored terrain.
Heh. Well, Orthopedics is basically carpentry with better tools, right?
To put it another way, a wood saw *could* be used as an improvised surgical tool ;-)
If you would prefer a floral prosthesis instead of the faunal limb you were born with, feel free to speak up :-)
Just to stir up the pot, I am throwing a last minute application in the ring!
This is my favorite iteration of a Bard, so those who have been around the boards for some time have probably seen me apply with him before.

===========================
Mechanically the character probably levels as Bard from here onward, maybe to become a Dragon Disciple. Who knows?! :O
He works as a supporter/bruiser character, and can actually play the role of the frontliner if he is allowed his schtick (slap on a Mithril Breastplate, and a Wand of Shield, and he can be quite resilient - something to look forward perhaps, as I am not sure if we are starting with WBL? My equipment list is not completed yet anyway).
Bard spell selection can vary a lot, and that is one of the things I love about the character - usually I focus on support first, then a mix of utility and combat buffs. On top of Inspire Courage of course. I did not take any Archetypes to keep things simple.
As a character, I imagine him as someone hardened by a difficult life - perhaps an indentured criminal? I can easily picture him having been thrown overboard from another ship after slapping the first mate for being a first grade ass, or heck maybe he could be in irons somewhere for the group to find out? For now, even though he has a way with words and can be perceptive and a good reader of people, I imagine him as a tad cynical and disillusioned with life. A solid crew could do wonders for the man!

Yeah, forget Healer's hands. I don't have the source and it does not give a useful benefit in this campaign. Heal does not need this.
So keep Survival/.
This is what I get so far.

--------------------
Jabari Kybwa'ka originated from a largely peaceful coastal Bonuwat community, which largely lived a subsistence lifestyle, harvesting the bounty of the ocean. Jabari's family, however, was one of the few 'specialised' clans - they were renowned pearl divers, who collected objects that could be traded to passing merchants for the items that the local community could not produce themselves.
Unfortunately, a group of pirates caught wind of this, and after ransacking the town one night, shanghai'ed Jabari. At first, he truly loathed his captors, but after a while, he began to sympathise with them (in the Stockholm Syndrome sense), eventually discovering that professing a fervent belief in Besmara would offer him a modicum of protection - and over time, the line between act and real belief blurred, until Jabari himself did not ken the difference.
Now, after being passed through several crews, Jabari does not remember, and probably would not recognise, the innocent young man that he once was - now, he revels in his position as a 'free' pirate.
That said, the only one he truly trusts is his pet snake - pirates can (and generally will) betray you, but you always know where you stand with a cold-blooded reptile.

Alright, I am officially submitting a fully completed (including his background) Lief Stoutspear for consideration.
He's primarily a party buffer and 'face' (and a talented sailor), but he should be able to provide some back up to most of the other characters if/when needed. He has some capability in combat, a little healing ability (which can be expanded if necessary), and is decent at UMD (so he'll be able to use scrolls and wands to backup the casters if/when we get them). Currently his spells are all flavorful, and can be useful, but I'm willing to change some of them if it would be more helpful for the party.
Personality wise, He's generally a pretty optimistic guy, and surprisingly friendly for a pirate, but his only family at this point in his life is found family, so he tends to be loyal to and protective of those he sees that way. (He assumes but doesn't know for sure that both his parents are dead, so there could be a hook there if the GM ever wants to do something with it.)
@GM- I see that you're using HeroLab to look at other submissions. I don't have/use that program but I can try to format Lief more like that if you want/need me to.
I have this fellow from a S&S game some years ago (2013). I believe we'd compete the first book (and he's 4th level). Some adjustments would be required to fit with the build rules for this game, of course. And I'd need time to reacquaint myself with him, if it looks like he'd be a good fit.
How much time would you need? Not sure what adjustments are necessary.

Leif was born in the town of Frembrudd on Battlewall, one of the Ironbound Islands in the Land of the Linnorm Kings. His father, Snorri, who had sailed under White Estrid on her famed journey to Absalom, was the highly respected commander of a raiding ship called the White Wyrm and her crew. His mother, Brunhild, was a skilled shieldmaiden and a member of Snorri's raiding party. She missed a whole season of raids when he was born, but by the time he could tie a knot he was sailing with them (and helping to mind the ship while they were off fighting). Snorri and his crew had great success in their raids and grew in boldness, eventually raiding as far south as Citadel Gheradesca, less than a day north of the Arch of Aroden, in Cheliax. This infuriated the Chelaxian navy who, zealous to prevent a repeat of White Estrid's raid, sent a small armada of ships to hunt them down.
Despite their boldness and battle prowess, the White Wyrm, faced with such overwhelming opposition, was forced to flee. They made a run for Mediogalti Island, but were hemmed in to the west and forced to try to skirt the Eye of Abednego. The Eye, however, proved an even harsher foe than the Chelaxian. The storm took hold of the ship, pounded it with winds and waves, and scattered its wreckage across the northern edge of the Shackles. Young Leif awoke alone on the shore of a small island there, tangled in the tattered riggings wrapped around a large piece of the mast. He spent weeks exploring the island and living off of what he could forage, and a barrel of pickled fish that had been caught in the rigging with him. When it proved deserted, he fashioned a raft out of driftwood and rope from the rigging and began island hopping southward (away from the Eye and deeper into the shackles. On his third island he encountered a group of fishermen who agreed to take him to Drenchport on Tempest Cay.
He lived in the city for several years, surviving on the streets and doing odd jobs around the docks. He met Wulfric there, an aged, threadbare, Ulfen skald who despite his own circumstances did his best to help young Leif. He learned from the old man how to fight, how to tell the stories of their people in a way that would inspire others, how to do a little magic, and the fine art of convincing others to see things your way. When he came of age, he put those skills to use and found work on the Golden Gryffin, a ship that smuggled contraband in and out of Rahadoum and Cheliax. He served with them for a couple of years before the ship was taken by the Siren and her pirate crew. The captain offered to spare the lives of anyone who served under her, and Lief agreed without hesitation. He served on the Siren–one of the few men in the disproportionately female crew–for several years. Barely a week ago, the first mate, a hard man named Augustus Murillo, lead a mutiny that threw the ship into turmoil. Lief was amongst a group of about a dozen crewmembers who jumped ship as soon as it hit port and now finds himself once more looking for work.

How much time would you need? Not sure what adjustments are necessary.
Well, I'd have 5 ability points to distribute (previous game was 20 pt buy). Might need to adjust equipment to match the group wealth. For example, I have the Tidewater Cutlass and a CMW potion as magic items.
Reacquainting myself would be just a fuller review of the background and some of the older posts to get a feel for the base persona and work from there. Although I suppose I could just create a new persona, I expect it would be somewhat similar, anyhow.
@Brvheart- I'd bought a "hide shirt" rather than typical hide armor on purpose to avoid having an armor check penalty (since the masterwork bonus negates the -1). If the hide shirt is not allowed in this game I'd prefer to switch to studded leather rather than normal hide.
I think the ACP is why many of his skill bonuses are wrong on your version, although I'm really not sure why his use magic device bonus would have changed? The armor switch would also affect his AC and movement, but it looks like everything else matches up. Oh languages- I thought usually humans get common plus their ethnic language (Skald for an Ulfen), and then my Int bonus should grant 1 bonus language (which I was going to spend on Aquan, but I could grab Polyglot instead if you prefer)?
I'll adjust my gold up to what you have (give or take the cost difference between hide and studded leather) and if you'd like me to switch my profile to the HeroLab version just let me know.
@Callum- This is a 20 point buy also, there was a typo in one line of the original recruitment post (it said 25 in one place and 20 in the other).

I saw the hide shirt. Not sure of the source. This was the best I could find in Hero lab, but I won't quibble about it being a shirt.
Edit: I finally found the hide shirt so keep that.
I don’t mind switching to studded leather- I just read the description (from the Varisia sourcebook) and the hide shirt doesn’t really look the way I was picturing it anyways. Am I good on the languages? And the UMD bonus?
Ya'll have made it a very tough choice: three rangers, a skald and an alchemist. Well, when the group originally started we had seven so I can take two so if we lose someone we are ok:) But the choice of rangers is tough, but I think for now I will go with the two-weapon fighting Callum Carnvegas. Callem, they seem to have a hard time getting anyone to take the Tidewater Cutlass so it might be ok there.
Now, from there I think I am going to go with Lief Stoutspear. A skald I think might fit in with this group.
So you two dot gamepplay and join discussion and pour yourself an ale on Rickety!
Everyone else, I would like to keep you in reserve just in case things don't work out with someone. Always needin' new crew!
My thanks for your contributions.

You need a point in linguistics to get the additional language. UMD is fine. Either armor is fine with me. Dot gameplay and join discussion please.
Congrats to Callum and Lief - wish you all a great game!
