Hmm... I'm considering Sarenrae's Dove. I'm thinking fetching bangles for my ikon.
I'll probably go pyrokineticist as my second class.
Could I do blessed one as my free archetype? It seems appropriate for a god of heling..
Also, could I make my scimitar finesse? I don't see strength being my strong suit.

Yes to Blessed One for free archetype.
You can swap out the forceful trait for the finesse trait for your scimitar. We can make a custom weapon on Pathbuilder for your scimitar.

:
Bands of Imprisonment (This could be clothing - wrist bracers, earring, etc. that the monkey had before it was awakened or a leg tether ring the songbird had before it was awakened if the songbird was a caged songbird of one of the residents of Sandpoint; Can be a body ikon instead of a worn ikon - though can not be same body part/area that is already an ikon)
Hands of the Wilding (The butterfly or songbird could spark transcendence by flapping their wings. The monkey (by taking tooth and claw to have tail unarmed strike for the tail unarmed strike and the titan's breaker weapon ikon for its fist unarmed strike, could cause its tail to extend while sparking transcendence to whip around to strike at everone within the 15 foot cone.)
Horn of Plenty (The monkey might have had clothing before it was awakened that including a belt pouch, shiny goblet it carried around the ship, etc.) I would not be opposed if the awakened monkey gains this as a body ikon (Abadar giving the monkey a pouch like a marsupial (a 'vault' that only the monkey can access).
Mirrored Aegis (For the Desna-awakened swallowtail butterfly, this can be a body ikon, with the transcendence being ethereal butterflies that surround the target and itself) 'Swarm of butterflies' provide the protection as opposed to ethereal shields in the tortoise shield formation.
Pelt of the Beast (This is a body ikon instead of a worn ikon.)
Abadar-awakened monkey: bite, fist or tail; which is the Titan's Breaker (Vault Breaker) ikon; if player takes the Tooth and Claw ancestry feat and chooses the Hands of the Wilding ikon: the Hands of the Wildling can be applied to either the bite or tail unarmed strike (with the bite's sparking transcendence being a monkey scream that shoots out conjured monkey teeth or the tail extended to whip around to hit everyone in the cone's area)
Desna-awakened swallowtail butterfly: wings (potential Hands of the Wilding, Mirrored Aegis or Pelt of the Beast ikon)
Erastil-awakened stag: antlers (Victor's Wreath ikon)
Gozreh-awakened animal (bobcat): jaws (Barrow's Edge ikon) and claws (from Tooth and Claw feat)
Sarenrae-awakened dove: wings (Fetching Bangles ikon)
Shelyn-awakened songbird: wings (potential Hands of the Wildling, Mirror Aegis or Pelt of the Beast ikon)
1st level exemplar feat: Sanctified Soul (Holy)
2nd level exemplar feat:
Abadar-awakened monkey, Erastil-awakened stag, Gozreh-awakened bobcat: Leap the Falls (Scar of the Survivor ikon for awakened monkey and awakened bobcat; Thousand-League Hooves ikon for awakened stag)
Desna-awakened swallowtail butterfly, Sarenrae-awakened dove, Shelyn-awakened songbird: Hurl at the Horizon (favored weapon ikon)
4th level exemplar feat: Only the Worthy (For ones with a thrown weapon ikon, you can use an Interact action to have the weapon fly back to your hand after throwing it. You can use my homebrewed flourish rule to throw the weapon and have it return to your hand, giving you the option to make two thrown strikes with it in a round (without sparking transcendence) - flourish to make thrown strike and have it fly back to your hand, then ranged strike, and last action to have it fly back to your hand).
Do you let automatic bonus progression affect elemental blasts? by RAW, it doesn't because kineticists are neither fish nor fowl.

In this campaign, you will get the attack potency for elemental blast, but not devasting strikes for them. It is odd that the consensus is that kineticists would not gain the ABP attack potency for elemental blast, which would suggest that only item bonuses from weapon and and armor potency runes are replaced by ABP. As ABP is supposed to automatically give potency bonuses in place of the item bonuses your best item-bonus magical gear gives you using default rules, it makes sense that kineticists do not lose out on the one item that gives them an item bonus to their elemental blast attack rolls.
As Pathbuilder does not apply the ABP attack bonus to elemental blast, we will make custom weapons for your elemental blast to compensate, to cover all your melee/ranged and single-action/two-action blasts.
I'll reserve the Bands of Imprisonment as the second icon.
Will be going for bard, it's Shelyn after all.
The Mournful also suits the Bands of Imprisonment, singing minor scale songs in a cage in the past.
Mortal Harvest does sound a bit cruel for Shelyn. Maybe named something related to Shelyn's Whisperer of Souls? Echo of Souls?
And definitely getting the finesse replacing forceful.
I don't have an idea of archetype yet.

Reflavored name for Mortal's Harvest that fits the relationship between Shelyn and her corrupted brother....Soul Redeemer....how does that sound? Redemption? Chord of Souls? Soul Singer?
For free archetype, what appeals to you more? something that focuses more on the songbird's singing theme or something that does not?
As you were a caged songbird, is there any particular Sandpoint resident/family that you would like to have been the ones that were the ones that fed you. Were you the only songbird or one of a few/many they kept? If you want you could also have been kept on the same ship the monkey is from.
Remaining ikons for the Abadar-awakened monkey and Desna-awakened swallowtail butterfly to choose from:
Hands of the Wilding (The butterfly could spark transcendence by flapping their wings. The monkey (by taking tooth and claw to have tail unarmed strike for the tail unarmed strike and the titan's breaker weapon ikon for its fist unarmed strike, could cause its tail to extend while sparking transcendence to whip around to strike at everone within the 15 foot cone.)
Horn of Plenty (The monkey might have had clothing before it was awakened that including a belt pouch, shiny goblet it carried around the ship, etc.) I would not be opposed if the awakened monkey gains this as a body ikon (Abadar giving the monkey a pouch like a marsupial (a 'vault' that only the monkey can access).
Mirrored Aegis (For the Desna-awakened swallowtail butterfly, this can be a body ikon, with the transcendence being ethereal butterflies that surround the target and itself) 'Swarm of butterflies' provide the protection as opposed to ethereal shields in the tortoise shield formation.
Pelt of the Beast (This can be a body ikon instead of a worn ikon. If the Abadar-awakened monkey selects it, it could be a vest that the sailors of the ship had him dressed in.)
As we have four players and need two more, I will make a new recruitment thread sometime within the next week, so the updated character gen build rules are at the top of the new thread.
Please post to reaffirm your interest and the deity/awakened animal you chose, so I have it before making a new recruitment thread to to recruit players for the available awkened animals of the party.

Posting to let you all know I have not abandoned the campaign.
I sent a PM to Melda yesterday, who I think is busy with Game Day PBP games currently.
I was talking with a ttrpger yesterday who has never done PBP and shown some interest trying out PBP and playing the awakened monkey.
I am going to wait another week or two before making up a new recruitment thread (if needed) to look for players for the unclaimed awakened animal(s).
Something unexpected came up on the homefront, which is going to eat up a good chunk of my time for the next couple of weeks (at least). Posting in games I play in should not be much of an issue, but the extra time for running a PBP is time I will not have until I get the homefront issue resolved. I will give you an update regarding the campaign in the latter half of October.
Got it. Good luck! :)

Hi, all.
Homefront situation is slow going. I will give you another update at the start of December.

Hi, all.
Homefront situation is probably not going to be fully resolved until at least January. I will post again in January to give you the next update.
Update:
Homefront situation is not resolved yet. At least another four weeks for it to improve to a point where I can get my gaming books out of storage.
One of my siblings passed away last month, and the loss impacted how long it will take to get the homefront situation resolved.
I will give next update at end of next month.
I hope Santa visits you all and that Krampus does not.
Hi, everyone.
My homefront situation is still not resolved yet. If you would like to know the specifics of what is causing delay, feel free to PM.

As for now, please post if you are still interested in playing when I am ready to start the campaign properly (which as it currently stands will not be until sometime in March at the earliest).

I'm still interested in this concept. I'm in no rush.
