did someone say silver dragon?

FWIW: it looks like we'll probably have a hierophant, archmage, and champion

also FWIW: the guy making the Hierophant seems interested in Sarenrae

DCC might be especially good if you're going for the disposable hero vibe.

Also, I'd be pretty happy with either PF (or DCC) :D

even if the recruitment were still going to 7/4, with this many good submissions anything else that comes in can definitely be described as some variation of "late" XD
I even felt like mine was a bit late xD

crosses fingers

Not sure what to submit, but I note a lack of thief-y submissions... I hope you don't mind recycled aliases xD

A character concept: briefly explain who they are and what they bring to the party.
A mighty sneaky hero! And her human.
Broulnindre the eidolon is essentially a rogue; one that can actually risk her "life" to scout ahead, disarm traps, etc with much less at stake than usual.
Frank will be a bit of a jack of all trades, mostly B's support out of combat. In combat, he'll mostly rely on his summon monster SLA, a very powerful and versatile ability.

Backstory: A brief overview of your character's history, showing what motivates them.
TL;DR:
1) "Franky" & Broulnindre are wandering treasure hunters.
2) Frank did a oopsie and instead of saving his lover he made rezzing her impossible. Also he has B now.

Longer version:
Frank grew up the son of a traveling merchant. Sometimes his father moved valuables recovered by treasure hunters long distances. Frank, always loved to hear the harrowing stories of the adventurers and their dungeon delves. After a bit of accidental magic, Frank realized that he might be a sorcerer. Maybe he could go and do heroic things too! He was, however, gifted in the arcane arts. He wasn't much for spelunking. He needed a partner. Luckily for him he was just coming of age as his family was arriving in a big city. Even luckier (or so Frank thought at the time), a little lady from a village called Heldren had moved there, and she found him while trading with his dad. Azalea had run away from home to become an adventurer some years ago, recently heard a rumor about treasure in the mountains, and thought Frank could help her find out what was supposedly guarded by magic. He was a magician, it would be easy. What could go wrong?

They got along all too well, and became lovers during the long trip to the mountain cliffs that the crypt was dug into. They also made a good team, Frank could conjure distractions for the occasional wild beast they encountered, while she took care of breaking into the crypt. All was going well until they came to a particularly impressive door near the back. She... failed to disarm one of the more lethal devices. She didn't appear injured, but something had sucked the life right out of her. Frank tried to take her corpse and what few valuables they found outside of that vault back to town. He thought he might have enough to buy her life back.

The cleric back in town told him that he not only didn't have enough cash, but he had taken too long to get back to town. Frank didn't give up, though. He could bring forth all sorts of creatures with his magic, why not Azalea too? Frank devised a ritual where he would get extraplanar help to bring her back, but something went wrong. Instead of Azalea, Frank got Broulnindre. Somehow Azalea's spirit had fused with the outsider's, and Broulnindre was born. Forever bound together by Frank's ritual gone wrong, Frank and Broulnindre have been treasure hunting and wandering the land together ever since, though they don't always get along.

Why Heldren: Why is your character in the small town of Heldren in southern Taldor?
Frank recently decided to visit the town, hoping that retelling stories of the town or seeing it might do... something. That Broulnindre might remember something.

A little crunch: This should at minimum be a race/class/archetype combo. I don't need full crunch at this time, but if that's your thing go wild.
Human / Unchained Summoner Eidolon (Agathion) / "Rogue-ish"
Please ignore the aliases for now, the crunch will be similar-ish but I need to rebuild and refluff xD

dot ^^

Long term plan away! Likely goes to level 13 or so.

Feels like a solid "maybe"

Will we make it to 14th level, do you think? My favorite mechanic trick is a 14+ trick xD

I second that motion for info on RUSH being a good thing, even if it is a bit off topic xD

Also, Harry Potter fans like myself would also be aware of some of the British slang xD

Could we call him "twelve" for short? Prat seems plausibly offensive xD

The fact that Culture can be used, by the Captain role, as a Leadership check makes that role so much more versatile than just a straight Cha- based character would allow.

Wait. M could be the captain? as a mechanic? thanks to her racial that let's her make an int(or wis or cha) skill both a class skill and have skill focus? That's amazing xD

ah, good point. Maybe I'll go outlaw (and probably free trader) after all~

@DM Nex: Is there a way to make cyberborn work? I kind of like Outlaw and Ace Pilot too, but not as much xD
I think the ship's universal translator (and EE's joy at being off of Akiton) is already a pretty decent reason for her to be on the ship, but I can switch to outlaw or ace pilot if preferable.

...Though I don't see anyone gunning for that pilot spot yet, maybe it would be good if she just happened to be a bit better at that...

I guess I could also go outlaw and get that recommended "free trader" archetype to go with it xD

and I finally remembered to mention:
I'll be happy to do the cargo stuff if I can use an google sheet :3

Sceg: yeah I would stay away from Azlanti worlds, just because they are so isolated. Unless you can wrap it into Against the Aeon Throne AP. But the Vesk planets are all fair game for sure. Mostly open.

Thanks! Still not sure what worlds are Azlanti though. Is there a list somewhere?

Actually, I don't see mention of Azlanti in the entry for Akiton. Also seems like exactly the sort of place you might want to leave and EJ might be the way to do it xD
So, maybe just need confirmation that Akiton would be a good homeworld for an android? XD
I also like how M might've needed to do some mining there even though she's not very good at it, explaining her ownership of a mining laser, and then escaping offworld.

Anyway, I'll start putting down bullets for ideas, but I guess that's half-ish of her backstory xD

@DM Nex: Anything in particular to keep in mind when picking a homeworld for Emerald Eyes?
Like I don't recall mention of Azlanti space outside of the spoiler at the top, for example, and I'm not super deep into starfinder lore...

Also, languages, now that I think about it. I have to pick 10 bonus languages XD

Though maybe that should wait until after picks are made? I suppose the language selection should go with the background...
Also, I'm liking the mine collapse background xD

Huh o.o
I guess interactions will always be between two kingdoms or all 3 at once.
Maybe exactly one table with its own gameplay thread will be plenty xD

Anyway, hopefully the last two picks are soonish xD

probably should be an unused thread from one of the other tables xD
might make more sense to open up 3 more tables for each pair of interactions. or a 4th table if all 3 tables end up in the same direct interaction xD

yeah, might mean getting Craft Wand, but Frank or Tim could also handle healing.
Oddly, the summoner would end up better than the paladin at healing thanks to Summon Good Monster on Frank and multiclassing on Tim xD

Welp, there went Tim & Jim, for better or worse xD
I suppose Tim could always just ride a normal pony...
(Or a celestial one)

and they look the other way when you want to enjoy... whatever it is that no one knows you enjoy :D

(or rather, pretend to look the other way. Really they're scribbling frantically trying to gather as much blackmail as possible to help save them money later...)

@Emmeline's Player: I wouldn't stress about it. Just get a good idea of how you want to play your character and I'm sure you can work backwards to figure out how he could've gotten to be the way he is. Also, working with the kings on backstory points will probably help if you want extra ideas for how to integrate your character into the kingdom they'll be part of.
I also recommend liberal use of text format tags, like [ b ]. You can take a peek in the "How to format your text" spoiler below the text edit box that you type into. Also, when you have the time: DH's guide to play by post gaming might be a good read :D
Also, welcome to PF 1e and the boards :D

Sorry- I should have been more clear on that-- in the re-crunch of kingdom building I'm doing for this game, title or positions are stripped of mechanical meaning--

Each council member gets to take one Kingdom action, and which actions you take that Kingdom turn determine what you roll.

So when I say "what council role" here I mean from a "flavor" aspect a title or "job" that sounds appropriate flavor wise to the character, so it could fit into the official KB roles, or be more fanciful.

OOoh, in that case, Frank would make a great spymaster with help from his unknown accomplice xD

Oh, no aasimar halflings, then? :P

More seriously, it'd be easy to change the fluff so that Tim the beautiful attracted the attention of a noble woman, either human or mostly human (aasimar) :D

which makes me curious...
@Oxnard: Are there non human aasimars in this world? I remember something about changing size but otherwise using the normal stats for standard PF...
(not that I need to care about crunch there, but still. Changes the options available for Timothy and Jimothy)

Though I suppose being at the bottom of the pecking order and a quarterling would be a great reason for Jimothy's extra angst :3

Oh, and I almost forgot:
@God King Handerbald III: in addition to those options, Tim is literally the chosen one of a good aligned goddess (NG like Shelyn. Her if she's available). So that familiar he has that's guiding him would be a great way to distinguish himself as well ^^

what about celestial pony riding halfling that can also ride his son into battle? :3
Would a celestial pony be celestial horse-ish enough? Or Jimothy for that matter? xD

especially if those PCs are in kingdoms that go to war with eachother, haha

submission 1) This submission could concievably work with any kingdom, but probably fits best with the Order of the Righteous Trinity:

Character Name, Race, Class/Archetype (and role/build plan if multiclass along the way), and alignment-
Frank Engels, Human, Unchained Summoner, NG
Out of combat will primarly handle rogue-y things (his eidolon, Broulnindre, will essentially be a rogue/scout), in combat he'll primarily use Summon Monster.

A one sentence description about what your character's role on the King's council is, and how you "earned" that position-
Frank E. was given a permanent position (probably magister) after winning a tournament with his summoned monsters.

Brief Background Information about the character-
Frank's tragic backstory is not well known, but his fearsome summoned monsters are. Thanks to Broulnindre, he can be in two places at once when he isn't on the battlefield. The few that know of "B" know that she's the only one allowed to call him "Franky" for some reason.

submission 2) For Thurbenia, since that's the only kingdom that a paladin could tolerate that could also tolerate a paladin:

Character Name, Race, Class/Archetype (and role/build plan if multiclass along the way), and alignment-
Timothy son of Rimothy (Tim the beautiful), Halfling, Paladin/Chosen One (of Shelyn, pet shilvanshee, eventually Arcane Archer), LG
Will be primarily ranged support as well as eventually handing out low level paladin and sorc buffs. Also, at 9th, going to get obscuring mist at bow range, haha

A one sentence description about what your character's role on the King's council is, and how you "earned" that position-
Timothy inherited his station as a noble of the kingdom of Tharbenia from his father Rimothy before him (whose exact station and cause of death are highly negotiable)

Brief Background Information about the character-
Tim the beautiful occasionally rides his son Jimothy, a quarterling, into battle. He is well known for his prowess with a bow as well as his love of ponies and his cat Bubbles.

also, Jimothy should post his submission soonish, hopefully it'll be right below these two

dotting because this sounds amazing even though I probably shouldn't take on another game at the moment xD

If I do make a submission, It'll probably be a rebuild of a character I already have or starting with a Chosen One Paladin (which could be argued is actually a rebuild of Unk the Conjurer (the Diviner) but I digress...)

hopefully I'll find time ^^

btw, after looking at some of the other submissions, I decided I'd also like to go through Ash's personality and background guide, but obviously for Emerald Eyes.

It was an interesting exercise :3

As for flavoring the Vesk, I would suggest chicken-flavored. For...reasons.

the one true answer to all flavor questions: chicken.

edit: yay we have a 5th xD

But I digress - if you want to go with "how do we verify anything" then you may as well go to the "brain-in-a-jar" scenario - you cannot technically trust anything...

Aha, proof that you get it! xD

But yes, science seems the least fallible way to predict the future, so most people generally go with that :3

Noice. I'll go for a cybernetic arm or leg that's also a container when I get the cash ;p

Also, now that I think about it, I guess we'll all want backpacks when we're deployed xD

Also, because I can't resist:

...and that proof can be verified...

that's the epistemological question: how do we verify? Anything? xD

That's probably the angle I'm gonna go with: faith in a celestial entity, but obviously still a firm believer in science

Speaking of faith and science, how many people have repeated the results of published papers?

Now that I've written that all out, it feels like faith in science is a thing they'd feature as a plot in a star trek episode...

I'd also like to point out that C'tikt-6's player also runs games ^^

So, little update. As per our discussion I had considered building some kind of archivist or scholar, but I saw that M has a pretty similar backstory, and I really don't want to step on her toes, so I've been looking for further inspiration.

I was inspired by this post as well as Foundation's tech-priest, as mentioned earlier. With your permission, of course, I thought I could try to build a concept around some kind of space mythology; perhaps the ship's mythology, after all these generations, would have developed into some kind of religion involving supernatural space entities, and beliefs of cosmic phenomena with god-like powers. Mechanically speaking, the character would probably be a Star Shaman Mystic.

Let me know what you all think!

That's very thoughtful ^^

Also, with all this interest, I'll have to finish M's backstory xD

edit: There wasn't anything important missing that I could tell, so I just cleaned up Emerald Eyes's backstory without really adding to it xD

M's backstory is still not great, but it isn't bullet points anymore :3

Noice. I'll have to mention that data repo in M's backstory :3

We can all suit up when we get on the ship or while the autopilot flies us towards the planet.

Wouldn't want space pirates to catch us with our pants down ;P

no pockets ;D

Which reminds me, does everyone have a purse on this ship? XD

Are implanted comm units found in the Armory or the Main Book?

After looking, I realized I can't find 'em. Perhaps I confused the Mechanic's Custom Rig with a cybernetic implant? Oh well...

Or, for those of us who are Androids and not in need of an armor upgrade slot: Infosphere Integration :3

Also, I hope we can all get implanted comms someday for maximum no-need-for-pockets :D
It'll be like casting Telepathy on the whole team xD

Yeah, I almost don't want to play an Android just to get in on the awkwardness xD

Unrelated:
Remember, boobs are the breast way to feed babies.

Also, does everyone have a comm unit? :3

Nudism is a thing IRL, is it really that weird? xD

IDK about our GM, but I like it xD

Also, you might want a sniper rifle or something else long ranged for when you can't charge :3

if we're all Androids, Emerald can handle the medic role with engineering (which should help make a 3-man team even easier to work with) xD

edit: (aaaand make her have even more extra skill points to play around with, lol)

buuuuut spaaaaaaace xD

googling 'conlang' makes me think that it means "constructed language"

in which case: yes it is, which is very awesome ^_^

Also, bump for a kool sounding game so we get more than 3 PC submissions xD

I'd just like to say Loglan sounds awesome xD

Can we call the machine language "Assembler" for maximum lulz? :D
(for anyone unaware: it's the first layer of language above 0s and 1s, but now that I think about it, maybe that's too high-level? lol)

Also, apparently there are 11 prevalent languages and one of them is Eoxian (the undead guys), so I'll just take all 10 prevalent languages unless there's a good reason to swap any out, lol

Not quite done (and I'm especially not happy with the pic), but I would like to present: M

Also, do we get a "planet/culture" language? And do Androids get a racial tongue?
Also I need to pick another 10 languages. Should I just grab a bunch of stuff from the languages list? :3

I think I'd like to join in too. Not sure what to pick besides mechanic. I might just rework Lefty, or I might go android like NEX

I just had a brilliant idea for an android mechanic xD

@NEX: are you planning on learning a lot of languages? I'm still torn about whether I want my dude to speak all of the languages xD

aw, e-hugs?
