I really like the idea of being tied to the Deep Ones. I'll take the name Squart. Though, that is the name he always went by before. Once he finds out about his heritage he will take on a more appropriate name from his ancestry.

Mutant. Squid faced bombadier. Had a tough life being branded a mutant. Always had thoughts of getting back at those that mocked ‘him.’ After first signing up to work on a ship (they only accepted him because he was able to breath underwater and could take care of things under the boat) he found out about black powder and bombs. He convinced the bombadier of that boat to teach him in exchange for getting him pearls from the bottom of the ocean for the girl he fancied. After learning what he could, which wasn’t much( let’s face it, the guy on the ship didn’t have a whole lot of knowledge), he started toying with the different chemicals that make up bombs and grenades. After making a few low skill bombs, and after the ship getting back to port where he grew up, he took it upon himself to take revenge in the best way he could think, with the new skill he just acquired. He blew up the houses of everyone that tortured him, but he didn’t leave any traces. He was looking for adventure away from this wretched place before his unstable hatred once again took control and he took more innocent lives along with the lives of those that deserved it. His motivation is to cause as much destruction to those that he sees fit to deserve his newfound prowess, and to never have to be called mutant again by proving his worth with the ash of his enemies fed to the ocean that he regards as the true home.

Odd Characteristic: Every enemy he turns to ash, he must collect most of their ashes and release them to the ocean, no matter the cost.

How is this?

I will lock down on the bombadier! What else do I need to do to get my character ready for this adventure?

Sounds good.

I would like a bombardier, witch doctor, or Fanatic, if any of those are open?

I would be interested in playing, if you need people for this, I am new to this game and PBP however, and might need some help, if you're willing to help a new person along, I would join!

I guess I will try to clarify.
I am new to this game and RPGs in general, and am going to be starting as a GM for other new RPG players next week (in person). I don't have anyone in my area that plays this that I could easily join a game with, so I was hoping to get someone to GM a PBP game for a group of new characters (me included) or a few new characters and some experienced that wouldn't mind helping the new people (me) understand the game from a player's perspective to better myself as a GM by knowing what my players might expect and want.

You are correct, thank you, I will change it accordingly.

I would like to play the 2nd setting.

I am new to RPGs and am going to be GMing my own game soon, I wanted someone to help me through the steps of just being a players so I can know what to do when I start mine next week.

I also wanted some other players, maybe some new people, or some people that won't mind obvious questions.

I would be interested, I have not played much of this game at all, but if you're willing to deal with a new person, I will play.

Awesome, thanks for all the advice everyone. I really appreciate it.

So, kind of use one of those as a tutorial?

So, I am starting a pathfinder game with some people, I have only played any type of tabletop rpg once. I am going to be the GM and the four people playing don't have experience with tabletop rpgs at all.

I was looking for advice on how to get things rolling in the first meeting.

I also wanted to know some things it might be nice to have.
I already have these things ordered, or am going to be getting them soon.

-Core Rulebook
-Bestairy
-New GM guide
-Rise of the Runelords adventure
-White board (instead of mat)
-dice(I would like to know which kind of dice I need, I have a lot of d6, and I know d8, d4, d20, d12, but any others?)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
