”Please state your name, your place of origin and how you came to this building today. Please address the orbs.”
My Name is Garl, I have no last name that I know of but I am named after Garl Glittergold the God. I was born in a small town that I care not to remember any more
“What horrors, seen or unseen, known or unknown, scares you or keeps you up at night?”
what keeps me up at night? hmm... I am afraid of burning to death. That will hurt a lot. burning. yuck, I'd rather freeze then burn.
“Do you value individual freedom and choice?”
You have to because if you don't you're not going to get any where, I made the choice to come here, I wasn't expecting to talk to Orbs, but here I am answering your questions. I am not a fan of it, but still yet I am doing as it asks.
“What languages do you speak? Which do you care to learn?”
Languages, whom are you talking too. I am a gnome, I love all languages, I have Common, Draconic, Druidic, Dwarven, Gnome, Goblin, Sylvan down. but I am hoping to learn as many as I can. I want understand all.
“Where do you see yourself in ten years’ time?”
ten years, let me see. I hope to be settled down in a nice grove with my animals protecting my wild Some place where my wolves can run free and not be hunted
“Will you be able to work with, negotiate with or support a goblin,
hobgoblin or orc tribe to get the job done?”
I hold no grudge towards any of them. as long as they bare me no harm or my wolf no harm then I can work with them
“Do you think you work well with others?”
As long as people respect my space and they understand that I am looking out for myself and swift first and them second then yes.
“If you see innocents suffering will you break from the mission to resolve the issue?”
I have an issue if innocents suffer, but if there is nothing I can do about then there is nothing I can do. but if I can save them, I will try my hardest to save them.
“Besides wealth, what else will you work for?”
Wealth isn't everything, I am working towards getting my full induction into the druids circle they have sent me to find a quest worthy of joining their circle. I'd be the first gnome in their circle.
“Will you obey the law even if you feel it is unjust and goes against your beliefs?”
With a Moral code like mine, it is follow the rules do what you can to be within the rules and you will be good
“What can you offer the team?”
being not only able track and to be a guide in any landscape, I am a great linguist as I have said before, and I have swift, with swift by my side there is nothing that I can't do
“Are you willing to endure suffering to complete the mission?”
Suffering? what do you mean by suffering? you mean like being tortured? oh heck no. I will not be tortured for something. that's just not going to happen on that.
“Complete the mission or save your companions- choose one. And why?”
I gather it would depend on how the companions treated me, but I would say that most likely if a strong bond has grown then I would save them, but if not complete the mission.
"Who do you pray to?"
Garl Glittergold, my name sake. he's blessed me with my skills as a druid, and I was praying in his name when Swift came to me.
I'll have up the answers a little later today but here is Garl (if chosen I will create a profile for him)

** spoiler omitted **
I don't mind new players at all, and I hope that I can give you both a good game and an intro into PF/PFS/PbP (whichever apply). PFS is mostly like any other PFS game, with a few basic changes in order to make it viable as a world-wide sort of home game. Things that make it possible for you to take your character to any other PFS game and be able to jump in. So certain things are just universally not allowed, house rules are kept to a minimum, and there are some assumptions.
A few of those are that you are a member of, work with/for, or are somehow a part of a small group called the Pathfinder Society, and have an interest in exploring <adventuring>, working with a team <no player vs player stuff>, and reporting back <taking a few notes, and doing things that would help the Pathfinder Society in general>.
and the Additional Resurces, with a link near the bottom of the paragraph for a PDF of it.
it would be the the PFS.
I have played on here before, I have played other places online and I have played many time IRL. So the society is what would be new for me, I joined a long time ago but never had the chance to do anything with it. I am going to Gen-con this year so I wanted to be able to play there.
I am thinking that I am going to start a rouge from what it looks like on the boards, and that it the type that I am most comfortable with anyhow. So if you would have me. I will get the stuff together tonight when I get off of work.
I am going to DOT here, I have to get my char ready, I haven't played in PFS society yet, I have a char concept but I will have to get it Society ready. I can do that by EOD tonight.
GM Sorry it took forever for me to get this. I have had Kids and life to deal with over the weekend.

He spent many of years in the rigging and swabbing the deck. He was taught the ways of the gun by his dad's ship's gunner Jakes Magpie. He was one of the best gunners in the shackles. After his father was killed he lead the ship for a while. His mother became ill and he gave the ship off to his first mate Crowly Yanker. He spent 3 years at his mothers side while she was ill. After his mother died he went back out to sea to find his ship.

Bahram Horsethief:
as a kid, Bahram was always a loner, and always loved nature. He spent most of his time alone with the animals on the farm. He came across this horse one day while he was just wondering along, He saw how abusive the pervious owner was to this young horse. He carefully watched and found out where the horse was stabled the next night. He went and freed this horse who is now his compaion. This horse named Copenhagen.
He eventually came across a a group of druids that took him in and taught him the ways of nature.
Now that it is his time to explore the world, he has come to create his own grove and create something more maybe.

Traits:
Pioneer ( Campaign )
You have long lived along the southern border of Brevoy, in the shadow of wilderness known as the Stolen Lands. Life has been hard, but through hunting, trapping, trading, and coaxing crops from the freezing earth, you’ve learned how to survive on the rugged frontier. With the wilderness ever at your door, you’ve also learned much about its denizens and the wild creatures that lurk in that unwholesome land. Your family might even claim holdings in the Stolen Lands, with elders telling stories of being driven from or robbed of a lost ancestral homestead, fertile farmlands, bountiful orchards, or a hidden mining claim. Whether because of your personal expertise and familiarity with the borderlands or in order to reclaim your family’s land, you’ve joined the expedition into the Stolen Lands.
Benefit You begin play with a horse. Also, choose one of the following skills: Climb, Handle Animal, Knowledge (nature), Perception, Ride, Survival, or Swim—you gain a +1 trait bonus on this skill.
Horse Lord
You grew up horse racing along the plains.
Benefit You gain a +2 trait bonus on Handle Animal checks, and a +1 trait bonus on Ride checks. This trait applies only to horses.
Child of Nature
You have been blessed by the God of Nature to be as comfortable in the wilderness as you are at home.
Benefits: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Survival checks to find food and water, and a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (nature) checks. One of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.

--------------------
Five background and concept elements important to Drake Ghosthowl
1.I had always grown up on the streets and was always hiding from the law and other vagabonds, I never really considered myself a thief just a lone stranger who was always alone ( Child of the Streets)
2.I had to prove himself at a very young age. he was being terrorized by a couple of bullies. I ended joined up with little band of other children and we banded together and I ended up killing a local baker (Killer)
3. Since I was alone on the streets I needed to learn the skills that would keep me alive ( Cosmopolitan Feat ( Stealth and Disable Device). So I took up some dishonorable skills that ended up helping me in the end.
4. I have always been quicker then others on the draw. I have learned how to anticipate the foes movements and actions before they even knew what they were doing (Improved Imitative)
5. I had finally come to my own when I stole a gun from a local shop and learned how to shoot. This was something that had changed my life. I started a life as a mercenary and then ended up my way on to the Royal Homeland Constabulary after many years of trying, ( Class Gunslinger). I still like to keep myself and only take small limited groups or solo missions alone. ( mysterious Stranger)
Two goals that are important to Drake.
1. I have has since become a tinker since he joined, I have never talked too much to anyone except my machines. I have designed one that fires a single barrel pistol when commanded. (Technologist)
2. I know that one day that I will again meet that girl that I saw and that I will end up living a simple life.
Two secrets about Drake, one that he knows, and one that he not yet aware of.
1. (known) I have a bad habit of using Fey Pepper, I have been using it since I was a boy.
2. (not known) I had a lover in the past and I believe that I am a father, I am not 100% sure because I haven't seen Katrina in such a long time, I have tried on occasion to see her, but I have not been able to find her. Last I knew she took a ship out to (Current Location) and I followed her. I want to find out if I am a father or not.
Four people that are tied to Drake, three are friends and one is an enemy
1. Katrina, Former Lover, she was the only person whom really I cared about at all. I told her things about me, and she is the reason why I started using Fey Pepper is to get a glimpse of her.
2. Robo. Robo is my (Disposable Simulacrum. Theme Feat)He is the only thing that I care about at the moment, I talk to him like he is a human being and he is my only true friend
3. Raskle (barkeep) During my Childhood, this old fellow let me hold up in the bar when the weather got really bad, he was like a father figure but only when his needs suited him. I was there for him when I could be but now, I travel and send him coin every once in a while and I go and check up on the old man.
4.(enemy) I made one enemy in my entire life that I have not killed yet, and that is Kylar Stern. He is an evil assassin who I have been trying to kill for years, he is a sly fellow, and the reward on his head is high enough, that the one time that I did find him, I missed the shot. I vowed to kill him as he has vowed to kill me, Luckily in the past 3 months I haven't heard hide nor hair of him.
Three memories, mannerisms or quirks Drake possess
1. I am very obsessive about my guns, I have been known to as soon as a fight is over to get out my cleaning kit and make sure it is cleaned and oiled, and reloaded.
2. My hands have to be doing something, I am always fiddling or cleaning or working on my little side projects, I have things kept all nice and neat.
3. I will only speak when spoken directly too. I never offer my option on what matters to others unless asked, and I will only choose whatever suits my need not the correct need. I am subtle yet almost rude to other people
*****************
FEAT Discription
******************Disposable Simulacrum (Theme Feat)
You pull out a pre-assembled gadget, tie it to your life force, and animate it so it can
recreate one of your fighting techniques.
Benefit: You gain a contraption. When deactivated it weighs 5 lbs. and can fit in
a pouch or pocket, but as a standard action, you may activate the contraption
and place it in an unoccupied adjacent space, at which point it becomes a Small
creature. The contraption has the same AC and saves as you, hit points equal to
one-quarter your total, and the construct subtype.
You can deactivate the contraption as a swift action. If reduced to 0 hit points,
the contraption is automatically deactivated and you must spend an hour making
repairs before you can activate it again.
Choose a single task that you can normally perform as a standard action, such
attacking with a specific weapon, casting a specific spell, moving, or directing a
mount. As long as the contraption is within 30 ft., you can spend a standard action to
have the contraption perform the chosen task. Spells cast through the contraption
count towards your daily spell limit as though you cast the spell. The contraption
cannot move on its own, unless you choose a task that involves moving (such as
carrying gear or charging), in which case the contraption moves as if it has a speed
of 20 ft.
Since it is a simulacrum, the contraption does the task as if you were performing
the action in its space. It uses your stats, and if making a weapon attack it even
functions as if it had your weapon. At the GM’s discretion, it can also take closely
related minor tasks, like reloading a ranged weapon, but otherwise the contraption
can take no other actions on its own.
Special: You can acquire only one theme feat.
I have my information in the spoiler there, I have a alias already made for a different character called Drake, but Since I haven't used it in a while and this one sounds like it might be interesting, I will be using that same name
Please I hope that you will at least give me some feed back either way.
If the weapons are something that is out of reach let me know and I can change them..
Thank you
okay, so because of lack of ablitly and sleep the past 2 weeks, tonight will be the first chance I get to really get back into it because the wife is not going to bug me tonight.
DM, I am just letting you know that, I will be gone from 26th to the 6th of January. I will have a limited access to the net for at least the first 4 days after that I will have acces but not a whole lot. Please run my char as you see fit till I come back please!
Thank you
How To Apply
1. Submit a character concept using the criteria below. You don't need to spend a ton of time on a super-fleshed out backstory.

If I choose your character, we can beef up his/her history as needed.
2. Respond to the questions as your character.
3. Answer the player questions.
Character Creation
1. Level 3 Character, 20-point buy.
2. 3,000 Starting Gold. Characters should spend no more than half their total wealth on any single item.
3. Core Races only. Alternate racial traits and archetypes from the Advanced Race Guide are allowed.
4. All Paizo-created classes and archetypes are allowed (Core, APG, UM, UC).

2. Why did you become a mercenary/adventurer? I became an adventurer to get out of the rut that I hvae been in lately
3. How do you contribute on the battlefield? I contribute to the battlefield with the amount of damage I do on the battlefield with my bow
I'll be looking to fill all four core roles (martial, arcane, skill and divine), so make sure it's clear what your contribution to the party will be. I realize hybrid characters make this difficult.
Player Questions

Special Abilities
--------------------
Racial Traits:
Lifebound: Samsarans gain a +2 racial bonus on all saving throws to resist death effects, saving throws against negative energy effects, Fortitude saves to remove negative levels, and Constitution checks to stabilize if reduced to negative hit points.
Samsaran Magic: Samsarans with a Charisma score of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day— comprehend languages, deathwatch, and stabilize. The caster level for these effects equals the samsaran’s character level.
Shards of the Past: A samsaran’s past lives grant her bonuses on two skills. The samsaran chooses two skills—she gains a +2 racial bonus on both, and they are always class skills for her. Once made, this choice can’t be altered. (Diplomacy & Perception)
Class Features:
Aura (Ex): A cleric of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity's alignment (see the detect evil spell for details).
Channel Energy (Su): Regardless of alignment, any cleric can release a wave of energy by channeling the power of her faith through her holy (or unholy) symbol. This energy can be used to cause or heal damage, depending on the type of energy channeled and the creatures targeted.
A good cleric (or one who worships a good deity) channels positive energy and can choose to deal damage to undead creatures or to heal living creatures. An evil cleric (or one who worships an evil deity) channels negative energy and can choose to deal damage to living creatures or to heal undead creatures. A neutral cleric who worships a neutral deity (or one who is not devoted to a particular deity) must choose whether she channels positive or negative energy. Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed. This decision also determines whether the cleric casts spontaneous cure or inflict spells (see spontaneous casting).
Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on the cleric. The amount of damage dealt or healed is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two cleric levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, and so on). Creatures that take damage from channeled energy receive a Will save to halve the damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the cleric's level + the cleric's Charisma modifier. Creatures healed by channeled energy cannot exceed their maximum hit point total—all excess healing is lost. A cleric may channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. This is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A cleric can choose whether or not to include herself in this effect. A cleric must be able to present her holy symbol to use this ability.
Domains: A cleric's deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, her values, and how others see her. A cleric chooses two domains from among those belonging to her deity. A cleric can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if her alignment matches that domain. If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, she still selects two domains to represent her spiritual inclinations and abilities (subject to GM approval). The restriction on alignment domains still applies.
Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the cleric, as well as a number of bonus spells. A cleric gains one domain spell slot for each level of cleric spell she can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from her two domains in that slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in her domain spell slot. Domain spells cannot be used to cast spells spontaneously.
In addition, a cleric gains the listed powers from both of her domains, if she is of a high enough level. Unless otherwise noted, using a domain power is a standard action.
Orisons: Clerics can prepare a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Cleric under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.
Spontaneous Casting: A good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time. The cleric can “lose” any prepared spell that is not an orison or domain spell in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name).
An evil cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships an evil deity) can't convert prepared spells to cure spells but can convert them to inflict spells (an inflict spell is one with “inflict” in its name).
A cleric who is neither good nor evil and whose deity is neither good nor evil can convert spells to either cure spells or inflict spells (player's choice). Once the player makes this choice, it cannot be reversed. This choice also determines whether the cleric channels positive or negative energy (see Channel Energy).
Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity's (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaotic, evil, good, and lawful descriptors in their spell descriptions.
Bonus Languages: A cleric's bonus language options include Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal (the languages of good, chaotic evil, and lawful evil outsiders, respectively). These choices are in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of her race.
Madness Domain:
Granted Powers: You embrace the madness that lurks deep in your heart, and can unleash it to drive your foes insane or to sacrifice certain abilities to hone others.
Vision of Madness (Sp): You can give a creature a vision of madness as a melee touch attack. Choose one of the following: attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. The target receives a bonus to the chosen rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum +1) and a penalty to the other two types of rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum –1). This effect fades after 3 rounds. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Aura of Madness (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of madness for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. Enemies within this aura are affected by confusion unless they make a Will save with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier. The confusion effect ends immediately when the creature leaves the area or the aura expires. Creatures that succeed on their saving throw are immune to this aura for 24 hours. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Granted Powers: You have pledged your life and soul to goodness and purity.
Touch of Good (Sp): You can touch a creature as a standard action, granting a sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws equal to half your cleric level (minimum 1) for 1 round. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Holy Lance (Su): At 8th level, you can give a weapon you touch the holy special weapon quality for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your cleric level. You can use this ability once per day at 8th level, and an additional time per day for every four levels beyond 8th.
Domain Spells: 1st—protection from evil, 2nd—align weapon (good only), 3rd—magic circle against evil, 4th—holy smite, 5th—dispel evil, 6th—blade barrier, 7th—holy word, 8th—holy aura, 9th—summon monster IX (good spell only).
---------------------
Background
---------------------
My past is not a long one… at least, not within this lifetime. I was reborn here, in these lands you call ‘Varisia’—far from the lands my past lives call home. For many years, I called the city of Magnimar home. I had a family--a father, mother, parents... siblings. Not like me, but their hearts were kind enough to take in a child of the Wheel. I suppose my childhood could be called normal. I experienced all the joys and pains of growing up; the hollow feeling of isolation from one's peers, the fluttering, maddening lightness of a first... infatuation, the joy and comfort of belonging to a group... even if said group would get themselves into no end of mischief. Eventually, the walls of Magnimar grew too confining, and I set off on my own.
Throughout it all, my shards of past memories would sing to me the praises of the Prince of the Moon--His parables that warned against pride, His lessons of wisdom, His mantras of kindness and awareness that provided direction and purpose in a sometimes-cruel world. I do not know why He decided to have me reincarnate in your lands, but what point is there in questioning His holy will? In all of my lifetimes, I still remember that He has always watched over me, guided me and nurtured me—and in return, I am His voice in this world.
I take it you do not believe in reincarnation? That this life is all you have, with no chances to begin anew? It is a difficult thing to accept, but I assure you, it is very real. To be able to learn from mistakes made in this life, to learn, adapt and improve for the next… it is a concept that provides me with more comfort than the idea that the only life that matters is this one.
That being said, do not mistake me—I am not eager to leave this life behind until I have lived it to the fullest. My journey to Sandpoint was proof enough of that.
I was… inattentive. My vigilance lapsed as I walked upon the roads, letting the light of Tsukiyo illuminate my way. I had faith that the Prince of the Moon would not let His servant come to harm… but I learned that night that one cannot expect the Gods to do all the work. He gave me the senses to see, hear and smell danger approaching—but they are worthless if I do not use them.
I was beset by goblins as I camped along the road. I fended them off as best I could, but there were too many, and I was cornered. I was not prepared to die that night—not when there was so much I had left to do. Besides, being slain by goblins would have been utterly embarrassing.
But she appeared—the elven ranger that saved by life. A volley of arrows pierced goblin flesh, sending them into a panicked rout. Another volley, and the stragglers were all felled. She stepped into the firelight, with hair of spun sunlight and eyes of a piercing blue…
…and she was kind enough to help me get to town.
I owe her a great deal, and that’s why I’m here. This is the beginning of a new leg of my journey, and what better way to start it than by repaying a debt?
---------------------
Description & Personality
---------------------
Before you stands a tall, pale blue-skinned man of Tian-Min descent with flowing black hair and solid white eyes. He smiles at you, looking rather enigmatic. His green-and-white chain mail is well-kept, and the longspear in his hand is carefully polished. A jade crescent moon hangs around his neck.
Seishin is a patient and quiet man, preferring to listen carefully to everything around him before offering his input on things. He offers a sympathetic ear to those in distress and is known to do his best to help them deal with their woes—usually, by trying to comfort them with how they can learn from their mistakes in preparation for their next life. He is reluctant to bring violence to others, believing that the only way a soul can truly achieve enlightenment is to live a long and fulfilled life, and sometimes this causes him to be slow to act when others are in peril.
He is currently interested in the elven ranger that saved him from goblins on the road to Sandpoint—the local heroine, Shalelu.
---------------------
Traits & Drawback
---------------------
(Campaign) Rescued by Shalelu: At some point in the past, you had a terrifyingly close brush with death. Maybe a goblin nearly killed you during an attack on the town, or perhaps a building struck by a giant’s boulder collapsed around you. Whatever the peril was, you would have certainly died if not for the swift actions of Shalelu, who intervened just in time to save your life. You’ve never forgotten this, and remain fiercely loyal to the NPC who saved you. Perhaps even more importantly, the method in which she saved you seems to have had an impact on your own skills. If it was Shalelu who saved you, she did so by pulling you to safety while simultaneously defeating the peril that almost did you in, and as a result, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Acrobatics checks and Acrobatics is a class skill for you. In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten your savior.
(Faith) Reincarnated: You lived a previous life as someone—or something— else. For you, life and death are a cycle, and you have no fear of death. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against fear and death effects.

-What do you expect out of your fellow players? - Preferably to get along and to play characters with interesting backstories and goals.
-What do you expect out of me (the GM)? - I'd appreciate a regular posting rate and fairness. Otherwise, I'm interested in seeing what your GMing style is like for myself.
-What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms? - See the spoiler below.
-How do you see your character progressing as a character? - I'm planning to build him mainly as a support-based character, providing buffs and some face skills. Pure cleric all the way. In terms of personality, I'm planning on having him become curious about the homelands of his own people and coming to believe that actually living life and developing friendships with others is what actually leads to enlightenment instead of self-isolation.
About Comfort Level:
Regarding this campaign, while I'm not averse to adult themes and other mature subject matter, I believe it should be handled carefully. I'm comfortable with most subject matter, so long as the GM asks the player/players if they're comfortable with the subject as well.
