Sapiens' Placeholder's page

Awesome to see a cleric of Asmodeus!
I don't think I mentioned religion, but Falanaiel is also devoted to the big A, and she has a special grudge against Iomedae.

Fools, all of them, who think their actions will improve the world because of their blind self-righteousness.

Here is Sapiens' Character, an Aasimar Tyrant Antipaladin fiercely convinced that the best way to help people is to enforce order at any cost. You said not to go with Background, Appearance and Personality so they are not here, but I have a good idea of them. In case it didn't filter properly from the questions, her main belief is that people should not have the power to influence decisions they are not fit to take, and that the best governance is one of enlightened dispotism.

As for RP samples, here are a few. I don't have much material on evil characters but here are a few RP moments that I have had:
A discussion of philosophy
On the subject of human experimentation ethics
The drow are not to be trusted
Intimidation and celebration
A paladin offering redemption

@GM: For the last paragraph, I'm not a native English speaker, so it's quite possible that it came off as more disparaging than intended. For the rest, I'm not sure that the one you suggested is the narrative I was trying to build for Jerome, but there are a few parts that can be adjusted.

I'm very busy for a few days, I'll see if I can squeeze in some changes.

Not ... quite sure what you mean by 'I'm not sure whether I want to just have him in the pool or create someone else.' For now I am presuming your character choices are as already established.

I just meant I'm likely not going to make characters for the Criminal Mastermind or other roles. I have ideas that are mechanically interesting but not much in terms of fluff.

Alright, I have amended his background so that now he has never been outed as a diabolist, and is currently working as a prosecutor: I had written him changing careers as a reaction to the shifting balance in government. Additionally, I have added a small tie-in to the Conspiracy, with a cameo by the Criminal Mastermind.

I'm not sure whether I want to just have him in the pool or create someone else. I have a few builds that I like, but right now I can't see the character to go with them.

Okay, then, I've changed the name to Jerome and I think he's ready.

So, a few thoughts concerning the above:

- I'll amend my backstory to add Androk Jeggare. The details of meeting the other Agents and Abettors look like they would be best added in a Session Zero, once we are selected: in my experience, linked backgrounds lead to some problems for selection.
- I've taken Veiled Contempt, I didn't even know the feat existed.
- Despite being of Lawful alignment, Jean-François (I'm thinking of changing the name) is perfectly OK with forging paperwork, lying to the government, stealing and all of that. He won't break a pact or violate his freely given word, but he sees "respect lawful authority" as invalid when concerning Chairman Goss and the whole Revolutionary Council: they are inept, incompetent and unfit to rule, therefore to depose them is an end justifying the most terrible of means.
- The Evil part is meant to be downplayed: it's meaning to represent his willingness to do anything necessary, and achieve a noble goal by any means. To put it in the words of Terry Pratchett, he doesn’t believe in unnecessary cruelty, while being bang alongside the idea of necessary cruelty, of course.
- Related to the above: I'm not familiar with the Founding Fathers or Hamilton: the main inspiration for Jean-François was Havelock Vetinari, if he had studied in the Guild of Lawyers instead of Assassins, and hadn't seized power. He isn't meant to be appreciated because of being likeable, but because of being necessary: few or no people can navigate the conflicting laws of Galt as well as him. If a higher social status is needed, I can easily add to the backstory him being Chief Prosecutor or something similar. If you are familiar with the Laundry Files series,

Sapiens here, with Jean-François Lemaitre, my 70-years old Evil Lawyer From Hell. Fluff and crunch are up, and I built a law office too, including the staff and a hideout with an escape route. Prepared spells and gear are left undeclared for now, with the exception of the armor.
Also, I was hoping that I could buy a custom-made light mace acting like a cane, without having to fork out cash for a glamered one: essentially a simple length of wood with steel reinforcements in the top part. I could just get a quarterstaff or a hanbo, but since the mace is Asmodeus' favored weapon, I'd like if it worked like that.

For what concerns the reason to work together I thought we would have a bit of "session zero". As a lawyer, he may have come into contact with all sorts of people, from any walk of life. Perhaps he could have defended another PC that was accused of sedition, and proved him innocent though discovering that they were actually trying to overthrow the government? Or perhaps the Criminal Mastermind needed some legal assistance for their absolutely legitimate business?

Sapiens here: I was actually referring to Brother Ó Máille. In the end, I went with a meek support/healing cleric who should be kept away from the frontline. You'll find him in this placeholder alias. I briefly considered making a pagan one focused on curses and debuffs, but it would be five centuries too late, I fear.

A few mechanical notes:
- As domains I took Knowledge(memory), Healing and Protection(defense), which I think are appropriate. When I switch to a different "spell" domain as per the Ecclesitheurge's feature, I'll get approval first.
- On a related note, I hope it's ok to pick a subdomain as a "spell" domain.
- I picked Scribe Scrolls, thinking of them as illuminated prayer scrolls.
If any of these things are not kosher, just tell me. Also, his origin is in County Kilkenny, but that can be move to any of the monasteries founded by Colmcille. As a wandering preacher, he could be found anywhere.

Ok, being in 1982 also means that Serafina has had more time to process her brother's death.
Also, I'd like to change my masteries: I don't want to be yet another character who's inept at potion-making, so I'll go with Research Expert and Healing Expert, for a healer (while keeping the credits in Dark Arts and DADA as per Amelia's home training). Her details are in this account.

Sapiens here, in this placeholder account you can find Eat-in-Shadows, a bogeyman Shifter with a penchant for stealth, demoralization and eating the flesh of sentient beings.

Sapiens here. Switched from multiclassing gunslinger to multiclassing ranger, but here is a rogue raised by the forest creatures, moved by curiosity and a desire to find the parents who sold her to the fey. I built her for versatility and for being a switch hitter, contributing both in melee and at range as needed. Thank you for your consideration.

Moriko is mainly a support character, going to lay down buffs and battlefield control, with a smattering of magic hurt.

Sapiens' submission in this alias (assuming I'm not too late, I dotted earlier). There are a few points that will require some joint work about Spheres Mythic abilities, but otherwise it should be complete.

A small question as Spheres wands are permanent items (unlike standard Pathfinder ones, Spheres wands work like a bit like Pathfinder staves) is it ok if I make one intelligent with the Legendary Item path ability?

If it's alright, I'd prefer not to make an alias unless selected, so I've reorganized the crunch into this placeholder.

Sapiens here, in the placeholder is my character's sheet.

In this placeholder alias is a still unequipped, but otherwise fully functional medicine doctor.

Note 1: he should be Middle-Aged, but age penalty and bonuses would actually give me more convenient scores (at least a 22-point buy). So I ignored them.
Note 2: he's a Cogitator, but would work equally well as a Sensitive. I can retrain if we truly get a Great Detective to avoid skillmonkey overlap. I'll possibly multiclass later, since my combat ability is quite lackluster.

Ooook, so I've made a French Amnesiac Psychic. And since few things say Lovecraft as much as being loaded up to the gills with laudanum, I gave him the Psychedelia discipline. He's in the placeholder account.

NOTE 1: In real life, drugs are horrible, and he's a drug addict. Should this prove uncomfortable to anyone (GM or party member), I'll easily switch to another discipline.

NOTE 2: I grabbed a familiar with the Familiar Bond feat and gave her the Figment archetype, so that she would be a hallucination made quasi-real by psychic powers. This is not 100% legal, as the archetype replaces some abilities that Familiar Bond doesn't give, but those abilities don't come to play until 3rd level, when I plan to take Improved Familiar Bond (which would make it completely kosher). Is it alright?

Sapiens here again, with a rock-solid tank (although heavy armor comes online at level 2, so until then he'll just be a puncher) for your consideration.

I just lost two hours' worth of background to Paizo's jaws and I'm too tired to rewrite it right now. The crunch is mostly done (missing spells and items) and in this placeholder alias.

Also question: the Riftwarden Orphan trait states that the character was raised in Kenabres, but I thought it would fit her better if she grew up in Kyonin. Could I change that bit?

I'm just writing this because I realized that my character (Rakheet) was posted once and then I didn't interact much, so I was afraid I'd fly under the radar. He's in this alias.

Here (in this temporary alias' profile) is Rakheet the Shrewd, Ratfolk Spheres of Might Unchained Rogue made for alchemy, stealing, disarming, and all the usual skillmonkeying roguish business. The Scoundrel Sphere sounds like so much fun, it's amazing.

Here is the "background" part. If these two guys above stands and fights, Rakheet will be the one to hide and exploit the situation.
"Yeah, call me a coward, easy when you're taller than four feet."

Here are all the needed informations for Francois, switched from Swashbuckler to Investigator. He'll be a caster and a skillmonkey, built for scouting, information gathering and buff/debuff. I haven't checked him against the table but I believe him not to be overpowered or narrow (although he mostly depends on Dexterity and Intelligence, I've done my best to make him versatile and eclectic)
