I've been playing and DMing Pathfinder/3.5 for around a decade.

Your experience with PbP.
I've been using PBP for the last 5 years. I've played through a few games, with the longest running of them that's still going started in Apr 1, 2014. Of course that is likely because I have good players. This will be my second time playing an evil campaign although my first one was more of an evil overlord type.

Expectations for playing and what you want out of the experience.
I want to be proactive. In most games you are given quests and you have to go do them, but since this is an evil game I want to try and hit unexpected targets. Very interested in getting revenge taking over the empire.
What is your experience with this adventure path? None whatsoever.

4. Philosophy as a PbP player.
I like play by post because it allows for thinking about what you are doing without taking up everyones time. You can keep the mechanics in the background.

5. Why you are applying to this game?
I sort of what to play an evil game and gestalt is cool.

6. Define what you think good role-playing is in PbP.
Frequnt posting and being proactive with the roleing playing don't come up with reason why you don't do something come up with reasons why you do.

7. What is your experience with this adventure path?
None.

In an attempt to get all the information I need to create stuff from character backgrounds without having to continually push for information, I am asking that you create backgrounds the following way:[/b]
Step 1:Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged!
I like to think of myself as a super spy.

[b]Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
In character Marry princess Bellinda

OOC Get a dark motercycle as my mount.

Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises!
I'm in love with princess Bellinda. I was runing a long con on her, but couldn't bring myself to yank out.
I have the pointal to become a even more powerfull double doppelgangers capable of not only shifting my appearance, but also skills, memories, and even the extraordinary and supernatural abilities of creatures whose forms they choose to mimic.

Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you.
Bellinda hates me now.
My father Gimrock that I have not seen in years.
My banker/lawyer Farrim Gandy we have mantained a good relationship for all long time.

Step 5:Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor
The trick to being a good shapeshifter is to impese yourself in the Role. If you keep quirks in all forms you will be found out.

I once impersonated the high preist and took confessions. That gave me alot of black mail material. The donations were nice too.

1.How does your character interact with the others within a group?
I am very friendly. I like to try and turn every job into a scam.

2. What is your character's role in a group?
I make a very good face as well as a good scout, but I can pull my weight in a fight.

. How is your character not as they seems? I want one or two skills that would surprise others if they found out he knows them. Also include personality traits, positive or negative, that would similarly surprise others.
I can read minds. I don't tell people about that because it makes them paranoid.

4. What are your character's goals, conscious and, perhaps, subconscious?
subconscious I wand a place to belong.

conscious Marry princess Bellinda. Right now I think the best way to do that is take over the kingdom.

5. How easily does your character love? Have they been in love?

No easyally, but he is in love with princess Bellinda.

6. Is your character racist at all, either now or in their past?
No really I have walked a mile in about every races shoes.

7. All people believe something that is not true, both about the world around them and about themselves. What lies/untruths does your character believe about themselves and the world around them?

Sorry can't think of anything. If there was something that I knew was not true I would stop beleaving it. He does like to test things.

8. How is your character about material possessions?
Easy come easy go.

9. What does your character perceive their major problems to be?
Stupied heart

Take over the kingdom force the princess to marry me and hope she grows to love me eventually.

11. What are your character's religious beliefs?
Well Antipaladin so serving Asmodeus. He has been mostly hands off.

12. What does your character fear?

Being found out. Even with people he knows well he puts on a show.

13. How much of a temper does your character have? What sorts of things set them off?

No real temper.
