Employee (Campaign Trait):
You have worked for the Bountiful Venture Company or you are the child of one of its current employees. This connection helped you get a leg up on the competition to get involved in the establishment of Talmandor’s Bounty. The company didn’t want nepotism to show through too strongly, so you weren’t included in the first wave of colonists and instead have been selected to accompany the second wave of colonists to the island. You don’t want people to know that you’re part of the company, but your contacts in the Bountiful Venture Company didn’t necessarily tell you that you needed to keep it a secret. You begin play with an additional 150 gp of equipment and know (at least in some capacity) one of the other company employees: Lyra Heatherly, Perrell Beys, or Ramona Avandth. Due to your association with the Bountiful Venture Company, your words and ideas may carry additional weight with the other employees of the company. (Your GM can grant a +1 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy checks in regards to these people in certain situations.) In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff checks, and Bluff is always a class skill for you.

Character Overview
Backstory and Motivation For the first twelve years of her existence, Becky was the spitting image of her mother, Perrell. Then the terrible teens struck and she became a bit rebellious, trying to differentiate herself from her stodgy and boring mom. Oh, she still dedicated herself admirably to her studies and appreciated her mom paying for her topnotch education, but Becky has a wild streak. This manifest itself once her mother mentioned the Bountiful Venture Company’s plan to establish a colony in the ruins of Azlant and the first wave of settlers crossed the ocean. The teen’s need to learn how to swim (an essential skill, she feels strongly, for settlers on an island) led her to join a gang of older teen ne’er-do-wells who hung out near Almas’s docks and shoreline, often swimming out to burglarize moored ships under cover of darkness. Thus did Becky learn to swim and how to wield a dagger effectively. From the gang’s handsome leader, Tomas (whose larcenous talents extended to land-based theft), Rebecca also learned how to pick locks and the basics of detecting and bypassing mundane traps. When Tomas was arrested, Becky left the gang. Wanting badly to be part of the second expedition to Talmandor’s Bounty, she again became Perrell’s doting daughter (or at least played the part) so she could tag along. This brought her into contact with the soon-to-be leader of Talmandor’s Bounty, Ramona Avandth; Becky’s been a smitten hero-worshiper ever since. Ramona actually helped out a bit with Becky’s bard training, and the young Beys girl chose to learn cure light wounds as one of her spells because, as she told Ramona, “An expedition can never have too many healers!” Becky’s recently realized that her near-total admiration for Ramona includes a romantic attraction. (How can someone look that beautiful with that hairdo??!! She felt similar pangs for the gang leader, Tomas, and is irked and confused by her stupid mixed-up hormones. Archivist Bard Archetype:
Archivist Source: Advanced Player's Guide, pg. 80 Some bards greatly prefer academic pursuits to the drama (and sometimes melodrama) of their artistic brethren. Bardic Performance: An archivist gains the following types of bardic performance. Naturalist (Ex): An archivist who has identified a creature with a Knowledge check appropriate to its type can use performance to share strategies for defeating it with allies in combat. The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against exceptional, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by creatures of that specific kind of monster (e.g., frost giants, not all giants or all humanoids). This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. This language-dependent ability requires visual and audible components. This ability replaces inspire courage. Lamentable Belaborment (Ex): At 6th level, an archivist can bewilder a creature already fascinated by his performance. Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). The target must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier). Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours, but failure leaves the target either dazed or confused (archivist’s choice) for as long as the performance continues. If the target takes damage, this effect ends immediately. This mind-affecting ability relies on audible components. This ability replaces suggestion. Pedantic Lecture (Su): At 18th level, an archivist can affect as many creatures with lamentable belaborment as he currently has fascinated. In addition, he may choose to cause targets to fall asleep rather than be dazed or confused. This ability replaces mass suggestion. Lore Master (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist may take 20 on Knowledge checks once per day, plus once per six levels beyond 2nd. This ability replaces versatile performance. Magic Lore (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist gains a bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify magic items or decipher scrolls equal to half his bard level and may take 10 on such checks. An archivist can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps as per a rogue’s trapfinding ability and gains a +4 bonus on saves against magical traps, language-dependent effects, and symbols, glyphs, and magical writings of any kind. This ability replaces well-versed. Jack of All Trades (Ex): At 5th level, an archivist can use any skill, even if the skill normally requires him to be trained. At 11th level, he considers all skills to be class skills, and at 17th level he can take 10 on any skill check, even if it is not normally allowed. This ability replaces lore master. Probable Path (Ex): At 10th level, an archivist can calculate the action likely to bring success with the least risk. Once per day, he can take 10 on any d20 roll. He may use this ability one additional time per day for every three levels after 10th. This ability replaces jack of all trades.
