I audited the equipment, and corrected a few things. Everything on the alias should be correct.
Also, I'm eastern US GMT -5.
5'6" tall, slender of build, with long black hair and pupal-less white eyes. Skin is of a dark red complexion with with large ram's horns curling back from her forehead.
Born to an elven father and human mother, Cythraul believed herself a half-elf until she hit puberty and began to change. The elven society that was willing to tolerate, if not embrace, a half-elf was unwilling to accept a tiefling. After falling out with her father, she adopted the name Cythraul Dig and turned her back on her past. Only after many years of wandering did she find her place in the crusades, finding friendship while fighting a common cause.
After years as a social outcast, Cythraul has finally found both the opportunity to prove herself and companions willing to accept her for who she is, not what. In the war against the worldwound, appearance matters less than loyalty and skill at arms.
As a Lore Warden, Cythraul has a considerable number of skill points per level and knowledge(all), along with survival and several other useful skills. Perception and Diplomacy will eventually be heavily invested in, and class skills, but not at first level. Cythraul still needs to come out of her shell.
Planning to Dual-Path Guardian/Archmage.
Cythraul plans to either invest into medium armor proficiency, with mithral armor to maintain mobility, or take enduring armor. Cythraul Dig will eventually have considerable skill with UMD, allowing easy usage of most magic items and scrolls.

I had the alias already set up from a prior application and have made the few campaign specific changes necessary.
Heading to bed, I will make a list in the morning of all submitted characters and anything that I see needs to be updated.

amused smile. He stands almost 6' at 5'10", with long black hair pulled back
into a pony tail. He has the outline of a well kept beard, shortened that
outlines his jaw, to a short goatee. Bright green eyes take in his surroundings
as he eagerly and confidently greets any who he crosses. Around his neck dangles
a silver symbol of Iomedea.
through life. He is loyal to death towards his friends, and will endanger his own
well being to help those in need. A devoute believer and cleric of Iomedea, he
always holds a prayer to her on his lips, but happily replaces it with a mug
of mead with friends.
he will happily deny it with a chuckle. In truth he sees his upbringing as a blessing.
Left on the steps of a cathedral to Iomedea in the Diamond City, Nerosyan, he was
raised by the clergy on the 11 Acts of Iomedea. Tought how to read, write, fight, and
lead. He took to the life of a priest like a fish to water, and he viewed Iomedea as
an a child might see a mother.
The priests and paladins tought him sword play, how to act nobily, and how to treat the
downtrodden and destitute. He became very adept at healing magics, and tought himself
how to fend for those in combat. He became an adept battle healer, being able to focus
himself in the fires of battle effectively. On his 29th birthday he decided he should
travel, not far, but enough to see some of the Mendevian country.
This "walk" as he called it, brought him to Kenebras on the day of the Armasse.
Walking through Clydwell Plaza, he took in the merriment, and the buzz of energy in
the air. Seeing the banner of the Eagle Watch, something he recognized from growing up
around it often, he took a step towards it. Approaching a man, who obviously seemed to
be in charge, he smiled and greated the man.
"Good day, and may Iomedea bless you. What might you be up to here?" he asks in a friendly
tone.
"Recruiting for the Eagle Watch." the man replies, looking Ezro up and down before
continuing, "”you look somewhat competent. Why do you want to join and hunt demons,
and what skills do you bring?"
Ezro blinks for a moment, somewhat shocked he did not expect such a question. Thinking
for a moment he replies, "Well I never thought about it before. I suppose though it would
be my next step. Iomedea has led me here. I shall bring her with me to fight the beasts
that bay at the doors of this nation. To bring the cleansing and sanctifying light of
the Inheritor to the horrible creatures that attack. I bring with me the skills of
healing, and sanctifying protection. I bring with me the Sword of the Inheritor."

I have two folks who are invited to participate in this campaign, so the skill monkey (a rogue) and other (an inquisitor) slot are already filled. That leaves warrior (preferably paladin), divine (preferably Iomedae, Torag, or other crusading deity cleric, but oracle is ok) and arcane (preferably wizard, but sorcerer is fine).
DM Papa.DRB, per your request I am submitting Aladir Cyruthion, an Elven Rogue (Scout) intended to fill the Skill Monkey role. For ease of access, I am going to copy all the information from the profile into spoiler tags here. I believe it meets all your requirements; I just double-checked it, but if there's anything I'm missing, please let me know. Sorry for taking so long to get this put in! It's been a heckuva busy day today. Thanks again for this opportunity!

Aladir grew up at the edge of the Worldwound as part of a poor family; many of the resources they had went to helping fight the Crusades, even though they could've lived more comfortably if they'd kept a little more back. They all did what they could, Aladir no different from the other members his family. From a young age he proved adept in the wild, so his help came mostly by trapping and shooting game for food. One day, in a time when his family was particularly in need of more food, he was single-mindedly tracking a young deer he had wounded, no attention paid to his surroundings. His drive led him unknowingly past the front line of the Worldwound. It wasn't until he happened upon some cultists that he realized how far into the danger zone he'd gone. He almost succeeded in sneaking away, until his long hair got caught in a thick growth of brambles and he pulled it hard. The noise caught the cultists' attention and they captured Aladir before he could cut himself free.
He was certain he was a goner when a mysterious woman stepped in and helped him get away from the cultists; as young as he was when it happened, he doesn't remember her that well except that she was incredibly beautiful...though there was an air of sadness of some kind, as well. They were only together a short while, though it was long enough for him to see that she was incredibly skilled as an archer, and barely spoke, when she simply disappeared only moments after she had led him onto a main road.
Almost immediately, a group of crusaders rounded a bend in the road to see Aladir standing there. They immediately picked him up and took him back to Kenabres. He never told anyone about his encounter with the mysterious woman, wanting to keep that particular memory to himself. But he never, ever forgot her.
Unfortunately, his lot in the many years since that time has not improved a great deal; his family is still among the poorer in Kenabres despite their genuine effort in trying to improve themselves. Despite their poverty, they have generally remained in good spirits, choosing not to let their circumstances dictate their attitudes and perceptions, believing firmly that someday, Desna's eye would turn to them and they would see a change in their fortunes.
Given his skill at tracking and hunting, Aladir has chosen to try and turn that into something useful, spending a fair portion of his spare time learning the finer arts of wilderness food preparation as a means of making the most of the family's resources and supplementing the family's income by selling anything that they deem over and above what they need...which, granted, isn't much.
It is for that reason that Aladir has spent all the recent time he could hunting deer and preparing all the venison jerky he conceivably could...and why he has come to Kenabres at the beginning of this year's Armasse: not to enlist in the Crusades or seek some greater destiny but to try and sell as much of the extra jerky he's made as he can to help put more money into the family's coffers.
Aladir is typically tall and slender for his race, standing at an even six feet tall and weighing 140 pounds; however, his frame is not without some muscle as well, likely due to all the time he spends hunting and working to provide for those he cares for.
His dark brown hair is cut relatively short, a habit he developed after his long hair nearly got him killed when cultists near the Worldwound captured him. His skin has a perpetually moderate tan due to the amount of time he spends outdoors. In sharp contrast to his hair and skin, his eyes are a clear, crystal blue, the vibrant pupils taking up very nearly the entire visible part of his eyes.
Despite the hard times he has lived with for as long as he can remember, his personality is fairly laid-back and relaxed. Growing up, his parents always taught him that physical possessions were always less important than sharing what you had, that it was better to live free and help others than to be obsessed with the material. That, while trusting people would often cause you pain, it was better than not trusting at all. Aladir took the lessons of his mother and father to heart, adopting many of the tenants of their philosophies as an adult.

In addition, I have a question: I manage my character using HeroLab and right now, Aladir is only one pound from a medium load because I have it defaulted to not counting the weight of carried money. If you want me to change that to count the weight of gold carried, I'm either gonna have to ask your ok to exchange the gold for platinum or need to swap out the longsword and longbow for the short versions of each. Let me know which of those you'd want me to go with. Thanks!
Here is my submission.

I had to make some major edits please look at my alias for the corrections. Frankly I am embarrass by the amount of mistakes I made.

This character's cooked around for a while and I like submitting him as an unorthodox crusader coming from the horrendously under represented empire of Cheliax. He's an evangelist cleric who won't overlap much with any bards due to there already being a skill monkey.
Also, I've played through the first third of the first book already. But I won't spoil anything.
Its very rare that one hears of those crusading for the hellish kingdom, but some in the nation feel it is time to increase Cheliax's influence in the crusade against the demons of the Worldwound. To that effect they have conceived a loose order of knights, clergy, and inquisitors to prepare and send crusaders to the crown of the world in the name of mighty Cheliax. This order, known as Her Infernal Magestrix's Own Black Fire Guard, is a bureaucratic mess that is underfunded, unadvertised, and only occasionally brought up as a political talking point by a politician or clergyman looking to impress peers. Despite this, Polydeuces has taken the opportunity and sees it as his chance to become like his childhood heroes.
With spear, mace, and infernal might behind him he ventures out from Cheliax, setting off on a journey toward the Worldwound. Many of his ilk call him a fool on another man's errand, a misguided boy looking to claim glory where there is none to be had. Polydeuces however is blinded by the righteousness of his endeavor. Any plan to set the world back on the path of order will begin with a brave gambit against the most visible force of chaos on this planet, the demons pouring out of the Worldwound. This crusade, though heavily romanticized, means everything to Polydeuces. With the aid of a few good men, he could perhaps make his god take a second look at the mortals who sewed chaos in his universe and see them rise as the greatest heralds of the order Asmodeus has deemed necessary for the universe.
Mussed curly brown locks hang over his classically handsome face. Going lower, thick eyebrows sit above a straight nose, thin mouth, and a chiseled chin. HIs skin is dark, betraying his origins in humid Isger. Standing only 5'10, he is shorter than the average adventurer, but he is well built and particularly strong. If not for his armor proudly displaying the reversed pentagram, one would be hard pressed to guess he ever spent any time in Cheliax or worshipped her patron deity. Though his face is pretty his hands are rough. He has known hardship and for a while lived as a vagabond with his brother.
Polydeuces has a calm disposition. Versed in Asmodean apologetics, he is used to his motives being questioned and his intentions being misunderstood. Oh if only they could see the world as he sees it, and understand it as he understands it. He tends to get caught up in sweeping narratives, looking for the divine meaning in things and trying to fit all in the plans of the gods. However, with steely resolve, he makes it his business to set those drawn to the perversions of chaos, especially those under the influence of demons, back right again.
Polydeuces and his younger brother, Castor, were raised by their mother in Isger until his brother was seven years old. Mother Troy, having only six fingers (having had four bitten off by raiding goblins during the Goblinblood Wars) could no longer remember Polydeuces' age and sent the two out into the world, reckoning he was old enough to take care of his brother. They were captured one day and sent to the Sisters of the Golden Erinyes. Upon realizing that Polydeuces was a particularly gifted child, well suited to serve their master, the Archdevil himself, the Sisters had him sent to Cheliax where he would receive clerical training from the best her clergy had to offer. A strange boy preoccupied with righting the world as opposed to perverting it, Polydeuces became enamored with the idea of purging the Worldwound and what it would mean to drive the demons back to the lowest recesses of the Abyss.

I can accept that arcanist means level 9 spells, and I can even accept a well balanced party. But Not that I'm against Paladin, but I would go in knowing that Fighter or Barbarian or cavalier are less likely to get in. Not that I'm against sorceror or wizard, but I would go in knowing that witch which also has level 9 spells wouldn't be as likely to get in. Not that I'm against cleric or oracle, but Druid which has level 9 divine as well wasn't on the suggestion list.
It just seems like a lot of railroading for submissions and not my style.

Your opinion, your choice.
As I am the person GM'ing the game, I get to pick the characters. Would you rather me say "open to everything" and have a hidden agenda where I won't even consider anything not on my hidden list? Or would you rather me provide guidelines so folks do not spend time on characters that I know won't stand a chance of being chosen?
I have looked thru some of the recruitment and other threads, and I understand that you appear to want the "open to everything", and that is ok. I truly hope that you find a GM that will allow you to create the kind of character that you wish to play. That GM is not me.
Good luck and good gaming.

I have found DMs and games that way, but I'd rather not get in seeing diverse applications. Otherwise I'm the same, except for well maybe an archetype and how stats go, etc.
I'll take the warrior list for example
Warrior
Baradesh Ironheart Stonelord Paladin
Doomguide Brother Adun, Monk
Algar Lysandris Arwen Mc Lyntier, Paladin
JuanAdriel Jordi, Paladin
Cythraul Dig Fighter
Quinn Inktooth Paladin
Reliant Lion Mugwa Tafaye, Barbarian
Elros of Amrothe' Cavalier
4 Paladins, 1 Cavalier, 1 Fighter, 1 Barbarian.
I'd rather not get in submitting a Fighter as my warrior than to get in submitting 1 of 5 Paladins, because I knew you preferred Paladin I was railroaded towards that. This doesn't mean the others classes can't get in, but are less likely.
Or looking at the 4 Clerics, 1 Druid.
Cleric and Oracle have the best chance of getting in, I don't have access to playtest materials. So I'd be 1 of 5 Clerics or the only Oracle. But I wouldn't submit a Druid since I know that it isn't impossible for Druid to get in, but unlikely.
That goes both with the GM, and the AP itself, because thats a crusade. A fantasy crusade? yes, but, as the player guide for the AP says, it recomends that kind of classes.
In the first post of any recruitment, is the GM requirements and likes, if after reading it you don't like it... don't lose time with them. But, for your first post, I'm pretty sure you didn't take your time to read and undertand th GM requirements and wishes.
I love variety of choices, but when find someone demanding something more concise, and its on my style/mood, I apply. If not... just go to another thread, there are alot, just a few days that same AP got a recruitment for gestalt caracters and all the paizo material and the prd was allowed.
You gravitate towards the one you think would offer you the best shot of becoming involved in the 5th Crusade. There is the banner of the Eagle Watch, a knightly order of mostly Paladin, Fighters and Clerics. You approach the person who seems to be in charge, and inquire as to how you may join the order. ”You look somewhat competent. Why do you want to join and hunt demons, and what skills do you bring?"
The heavy folds of a massive cowl hide the features of the man as he approaches. It would be alarming, even here in the hub of the Crusade, except below the cowl the man bore the well-worn tabard and armor of one of Kenabres local guardsmen.
Up close, the reason for the cowl is too obvious. From deep within, tiny pinpricks of light, like burning embers, shine out from eyes that are otherwise grey like ash. Asymmetrical horns, too unlike those of animals to be comparable, spring irregularly from skin that is sometimes cracked and cragged, sometimes chalked like spent charcoal.
As the man exhales, tiny tendrils of smoke waft from the corners of his mouth and the faint, sulfurous smell of brimstone leaks from beneath the hood. Then the man smiles, and all the other grotesquerie of his appearance is forgotten...
The broken lips fold apart, revealing a veritable canyon of ebon stalagmites so mismatched and incongruous that it is a wonder the creature can close his mouth around them. The dagger-like protrusions seem to simultaneously shine, like the molten crafts of the glass-blowers, and swallow the light, like obsidian draped in shadow. When he speaks, the ill-fitting shards click and scrape against one another, causing a shower of tiny sparks to spray from his mouth.
"I have nowhere left to go," the man laments. "I cannot return to the barracks, and no inn or posting house will let me through the doors. I have trained all my life to protect Kenabres' citizens, and the foreigners, the tribes... everyone under her banner. Now, I am outcast in my own home. But, I am no coward, to run and hide away from what has happened to me. 'Why am I here?' you ask." The man, if indeed he could still be called that, shrugs. "What else is to be done?"
As I am the person GM'ing the game, I get to pick the characters. Would you rather me say "open to everything" and have a hidden agenda where I won't even consider anything not on my hidden list? Or would you rather me provide guidelines so folks do not spend time on characters that I know won't stand a chance of being chosen?

I prefer the frank and honest statement up front. I know being a fighter instead of a paladin hurts my chances, but I'm just not a paladin type of person.

@ doubleGold
I would say that this does give me the perfect opportunity to play a Paladin in an environment that does make sense.
And it is true that in a crusade vs evil outsiders every paladin would try to come but they would still be very low % wise in the crusade as gods seldom find those that can hear that call.
I appreciate when the DM clearly stats what he likes and doesn't want to see in his game.
As a player sometimes if there is something i really want to play i get chosen because i made something that made the DM perk his interest.

Dude, you gotta believe in the heart of the cards strength of your concept. Without weight toward GM preferences your chances of getting in with the divine group will be 1/6 no matter what you submit. If you think your concept is better than others for this AP then just go for it. Fortune favors the bold.
I can understand the limits in this game, considering not just the setting but also the nature of mythic powers (a few of them heavily favor full casters as opposed to 2/3 casters). I'm told this AP gets brutal down the line and a couple of full casters in a group never hurt anyone.
To GM
I see a lot of different styles for the "Why" part. Is it supposed to be in character? I'll change mine if that's the case.

Yes, in character would be best...

I'm already in a WotR game, and it looks like there are a lot of people who are not. So count me out to make more room for other candidates to be considered. Good gaming, everyone!
Please accept Amaka Gry, cleric of Gozreh for consideration. Her character sheet is behind the link.
I'll summarize here your requested information here.
Short description: Amaka is a tall well-toned woman. Her skin is lighter than typical for a Mwangi, but far darker than the Varisian her sharp nose hints at. She dresses lightly for warm weather, with a drab cloak when it rains or the bugs are especially bad. In cold weather she bundles up with heavy wool or furs that she has hunted herself.
Short personality: Amaka is somewhat retiring. Visibly different from her Varisian relatives, she grew up on the fringe of a close-knit clan. That left her with a feeling of being apart from most others, and she usually desires to avoid notice. But when angered, she can be more forceful and determined.
Short history: Amaka grew up in a Varisian caravan. A few years back the caravan leaders broke with tradition and decided to try an arms run to Mendev, hoping to profit from the crusaders' need for weapons and armor. Amaka became separated from the caravan and never found her way back. In truth she didn't really want to. A strangeness from the Worldwound feels like a violation of nature, a violation she feels compelled to set right.
Why? Amaka looks down at the ground, "Why does grass grow?" Her gaze lifts to the sky, "Why do the Wind and the Waves ceaselessly dance?" She lowers her eyes to stare at her interlocutor. "Because Gozreh wills it. This Worldwound is an abomination, a denial of Her very being. It shall be ... reclaimed."
Amaka will be a stalwart companion. I am hoping her slightly different motivation will promote group interaction.
•Timezone. I am in Massachusetts, USA, GMT -5.
EDIT: Just read the other divine candidates. YOW! You guys are good!
Yeesh, this is taking me longer than I thought (time to actually do this seems to be in short supply this week). Here's prelimnary work, I'll try to think up the fluff as I finish this.
|

Made edits and fixed the "Why?" section. For the time being I'm holding off on buying adventuring gear until selections are made. Gives me time to think about how to spend the last 100 or so gp I have left if I get in.
By the way I highly recommend Inner Sea Gods if you ever need help figuring out how to effectively add faith to a character concept. Paizo really outdid themselves with that book.
Mussed curly brown locks hang over his classically handsome face. Going lower, thick eyebrows sit above a straight nose, thin mouth, and a chiseled chin. Standing only 5'10, he is shorter than the average adventurer, but he is well built and particularly strong. If not for his armor proudly displaying the reversed pentagram, one would be hard pressed to guess he ever spent any time in Cheliax or worshipped her patron deity.
Polydeuces is surprisingly friendly, open, and happy. An evangelist at heart, he rarely plays the role of the conniving devil worshipper many would take him for at first glance. Well versed in Asmodean apologetics, he is used to his motives being questioned and his intentions being misunderstood; but he is always willing to discuss the particulars of his personal beliefs. He sometimes gets caught up in sweeping narratives, looking for the divine meaning in events and trying to fit it into the grander plans of the gods. He holds a special admiration for the Godclaw pantheon but has little patience for the capricious lifestyles encouraged by chaotic neutral faiths and none at all for evil beings not named Asmodeus - not even archdevils. He collects tea cups.
Polydeuces and his younger brother, Castor, were raised by their mother in Isger until his brother was seven years old. Mother Troy, having only six fingers (having had four bitten off by raiding goblins during the Goblinblood Wars) could no longer count Castor’s age and sent the two out into the world, reckoning his brother was old enough to take care of him. They were luckily captured one day and sent to the Sisters of the Golden Erinyes. Upon realizing that Polydeuces was a particularly gifted child, well suited to serve their god, the Sisters had him sent to Cheliax where he would receive ecclesiastical training from the best of her clergy. Polydeuces became enamored with the idea of purging the Worldwound and what it would mean to drive the demons back to the lowest recesses of the Abyss.
”Because a sickness has come to this world. From an infected wound it bubbles up, threatening the world with its virus — its demons. With extreme prejudice and righteous fervor, I’ll help deliver the misguided from the arms of the Abyss and slay the fiends who dare bear false witness to them.”

Dotting for interest. Really like this AP. Don't know if I will get a character together in time, but worth trying.
I would like to submit Alikia Sokol, Conjuration specialist for the arcane specialist for this party.
Growing up in Kenabres by a foster family, Alikia was always curious about a strange birthmark on upper left arm. When she found out that it was for a secret demon killing society, that her parents were a part of, it took all of her foster parent’s wit to keep her in Kenabres and not from charging into the Worldwound to locate them.
She would also often get into mischief, which came to a head when she turned fourteen. After sneaking into her foster father’s lab and mixing some spell components together, Alikia accidently created a cloud that would dissolve ink from pages. Half of her foster father’s research on different alchemical remedies was lost. After a loud, angry discussion behind closed doors, Alikia was sent to Nerosyan to study under a gifted wizard to help train her natural talents. Recently, Alikia Sokol moved back to her childhood home to help join the crusades.
Alikia is a hardworking, salt of the earth young woman who has seen great triumph and devastating loss. She can appear to be introverted, only truly opening up to others that she truly trusts. She doesn’t worship one particular deity, but if she were pressed, she would choose Sarenrae because of her chance at redemption.
As for what I can do, I spent the last seven years of my life studying ways to summon and dismiss outsiders. I have knowledge of the outer planes that could prove invaluable to this organization. I want to show Golarion what good I can do. Give me that chance.”

So here we go:
As Omara grew up, she quickly absorbed the teachings of the local clerics on the ways of the Eternal Rose, but found she could never let go of her anger at the raiders for taking her parents from her. With the help of some friendly crusaders, they managed to work out a training program to fit her growing faith. These differences caused some friction among the other Iomedian adepts, who often called her "soft". Throughout her tutelage, she never forgot the being(s?) that saved her life, and swore to make it up to them.
Amaka Gry is missing from the divine list.
Thanks for watching out for Amaka, Uncle Taco! Very fair-minded of you.
Though I don't think she has much of a chance. The other divine applicants are very strong, and show a wide variety of approaches. Polydeuces is a really interesting choice for this campaign; an outside the stereotypical approach for a giant good v evil showdown. Feurrabe (Zahlia) and I both tried creating someone who would crusade against the Worldwound because it threatens nature. And Zahlia's back story is much better than mine.
Merick the Blue, Bane88's Roman Lectus, and Ezro Lindran are all cut from more heroic stock than Amaka. And Ezro's got some good writing too.
I think I'll be coming back to this thread later to study PbP application techniques.
May I present Kyleen Ptangor - Female Human Wizard (Abjurer) - possibly Banishment subschool. Opposition schools - Enchantment, Necromancy
A short and disheveled woman limps up the street. Every once in a while, she stops and leans on her staff as she looks around the street before her. What she looks for is difficult to tell as she will appear to watch two pigeons fight over a scrap of food one time, and then watch as two lovers hold hands and walk through the park, apparently unaware of the cataclysmic struggle taking place but a few miles away beyond the wardstones.
Although the woman appears old and nearly crippled as she limps along, a close look shows that she is in fact young, perhaps not more than her early twenties. In addition, every once in a while when something interesting catches her eye, the limp suddenly goes away as she quickly scurries to investigate whatever she found interesting.
Generally, Kyleen wears long flowing robes with a hood. Whether this is to hide what she considers her homely appearance, or to mask that she is not in the best of physical shape is anyones guess. On those rare occasions when one sees her out of her robe, one sees a short woman who clearly has not spent time caring for her appearance. The only odd thing about her rather plump form is a striking spiraling tattoo on the back of her left leg. In fact, this is not a tattoo, but a birthmark called a Sign of the Seeker's Spiral. It is because of this birthmark that Kyleen typically limps as walking normally causes the birthmark to stretch painfully.
Kyleen has few friends as she rarely spends time socializing. She is a bookworm more likely to be found with her nose in a dusty old tome than downing ale at the pub. When spoken to, she frequently responds with a surprised gasp as few people take the time to talk to a quiet person with a limp such as she.
When required to interact with another, Kyleen is an extreme introvert and seeks to determine the answer to the inquiry from another so as to end the conversation. She is typically impatient wanting to get a job done quickly, and even quicker when attempting to end a conversation. When she does speak to others, she often uses her hands almost as much as her mouth to communicate using gestures to demonstrate her thoughts to others who frequently do not understand the complex areas of study which she enjoys.
Kyleen's parents, actually her foster parents, but the only parents she has ever known, tell Kyleen that she was born under a full moon on midsummer's night. Kyleen never knew her true parents. When she was about thirteen, she realized that her appearance was so different from her foster parents that she must not actually be their child. After a few months of incessant questioning, her father finally broke down and told her that she had been left in their care when her true parents, Riftwardens, went into the Worldwound on a secret mission.
Since this time, Kyleen has had fantasies of traveling past the Wardstones and seeing what lies there. She has read every book she could find on the land now known as the Worldwound and studied every dusty scroll which the local libraries have allowed her to read. Were it not for her father being a librarian himself, she undoubtedly would have been frequently turned away. However, her father, Karsworth Ptangor, was the librarian for a small school of magic which enabled young Kyleen to get into even many restricted stacks of books.
It was while reading books on arcana that she first discovered she had a knack for magic. Hoping to find a safe profession other than bookworm for his adopted child, Karsworth apprenticed her to an elderly mage who specialized in defensive magics. Kyleen quickly learned to cast most of the simple defensive spells, but was more interested in learning to call creatures from beyond. Creatures from other planes. After all, she thought, someone must have first called the demons. What better way to stop the demons than to learn their own tricks.
One day when her master was out, she carefully called upon her magic and then summoned a creature from beyond. It was not much, just a small dog. However, the summoning must have been detected by the Wardstone mages as but moments later, the city guard was at the door with priests and mages in tow. To say that her master was less than pleased is an understatement and he took from her weekly allowance the cost to repair the door damaged by the guards when they arrived thinking that a cultist had been calling creatures from the Abyss.
With Armasse coming soon, Kyleen has finally decided that it is time to search for her long lost parents. She is sure they must be long since deceased, but perhaps there is some sign of them out there somewhere. Or, perhaps whoever, or whatever, killed them is out there. What better way to honor their sacrifice for the Riftwardens than to avenge their death.
Since she was thirteen, Kyleen has spent hours sitting on the highest hills in Kenabres staring north and west toward the Worldwound. As she does, she wonders, what is out there? What lies beyond that is so terrible.
Soon this train of thought invariably changes to wondering who her parents were? What was their secret mission? What happened to them? Are they still alive? Dead? And, if dead, who or what killed them?
This is the true driving force that has caused a young woman, who rarely walks farther than from her bed than to the nearest bookshelf, to go into the Worldwound. To see, and hopefully destroy, the Abyssal invaders. She desires to find what happened to her parents and to rid the land of these invaders so that no other young girls will have to wake up one day and discover that her true parents had disappeared into the unknown of the Worldwound before the girl ever was able to know them.
Up in the air, but likely to build toward the Collegiate/Magaambyan Arcanist prestige class. Intention is to stick with pure wizard or Collegiate Arcanist to maintain casting level.

He tried to speak, but the words choked in his throat. He felt like he had swallowed ground shards of glass. His shoulders and wrists burned, and the slightest movement sent lances of pain shooting through his back. He realized after a moment that he was hanging… manacled to the wall and suspended by chains. His eyes were clotted shut. With an effort he forced them open. The light was more painful than hanging.
“Wherrrre…?” he hissed hoarsely. He felt, more than heard, the sudden attention of the others in the room. There were sudden whispers and murmurs all around him… too many to decipher.
“What did you say?” came a hard voice from his right.
Quinn tried to ask again, but his corporeal needs overruled his consciousness and the word came out, “Waterrrrr…” After another eternity of pain, the nozzled end of a waterskin was pressed against his lips. He took his first drink of water in a rush and immediately gagged and retched, blazing pain went through his body as he thrashed in his chains.
A heavy door opened and another voice overwhelmed the others. “What has happened?”
“He’s awake again,” the first voice responded. “He asked for water.”
“Give him some,” the second voice demanded. The nozzle was again pressed against his mouth. “Drink slowly,” the voice insisted. Quinn took a few slow, careful sips and felt his throat begin to loosen. After a few more sips the skin was withdrawn. “What is your name?”
“Quinn.” He could not think of any reason to lie. But, even though it was true, it seemed wrong somehow. He had no name in the haze.
“Do you know where you are?”
“No,” he breathed. He did not know what they wanted from him, but he had no strength to resist an interrogation.
“Do you know where you live?”
In the haze… was the answer. But, when his mouth opened, “Kenabres” spilled out. He frowned. That was true and wrong as well. Suddenly, the haze was gone… burned from his mind by the light, as the morning sun burns the fog off of the meadows… His pain became something real and immediate. He whimpered as he hung limp in his chains. “Where am I? What has happened to me?”
There was silence for a long moment. “You are in the temple at Kenabres, the catacombs to be precise. We have held you here for nearly four weeks. Do you remember the fight in which you were wounded?”
The temple. Kenabres. The fight. Four weeks!? “No… no… I don’t remember.” But, that was not true. Bits and pieces of the past began to pierce the darkness in his memory. A cultist and his familiar. The sergeant and his fellow soldiers. The battle was quick, the traitor brought low. He was wounded, but not seriously. Then… the haze… he squirmed. Something insidious longed for the haze. Something deep inside of him. He fought back. The pain helped clear his mind.
“There was some kind of demon. Something we’ve never seen before,” the second voice stated. “It poisoned you with its own blood. The reaction was… terrible.” The blurriness was clearing. His sergeant stood before him, some soldiers and acolytes, as well as a temple priest. The cleric continued speaking. “We could not remove the poison. We couldn’t even slow it down. You’ve been in and out of consciousness. Do you remember anything?”
Only the haze… “Only the nightmares.”
“I’m not surprised. You should know… the demon-blood had some dramatic effects-” the sergeant grabbed the cleric and spun him away. There was a quick and vicious whispered argument, but the priest waved him off. “He needs to know! Quinn, we’re not sure that you are still entirely human…”
You gravitate towards the one you think would offer you the best shot of becoming involved in the 5th Crusade. There is the banner of the Eagle Watch, a knightly order of mostly Paladin, Fighters and Clerics. You approach the person who seems to be in charge, and inquire as to how you may join the order. ”You look somewhat competent. Why do you want to join and hunt demons, and what skills do you bring?"
The heavy folds of a massive cowl hide the features of the man as he approaches. It would be alarming, even here in the hub of the Crusade, except below the cowl the man bore the well-worn tabard and armor of one of Kenabres local guardsmen.
Up close, the reason for the cowl is too obvious. From deep within, tiny pinpricks of light, like burning embers, shine out from eyes that are otherwise grey like ash. Asymmetrical horns, too unlike those of animals to be comparable, spring irregularly from skin that is sometimes cracked and cragged, sometimes chalked like spent charcoal.
As the man exhales, tiny tendrils of smoke waft from the corners of his mouth and the faint, sulfurous smell of brimstone leaks from beneath the hood. Then the man smiles, and all the other grotesquerie of his appearance is forgotten...
The broken lips fold apart, revealing a veritable canyon of ebon stalagmites so mismatched and incongruous that it is a wonder the creature can close his mouth around them. The dagger-like protrusions seem to simultaneously shine, like the molten crafts of the glass-blowers, and swallow the light, like obsidian draped in shadow. When he speaks, the ill-fitting shards click and scrape against one another, causing a shower of tiny sparks to spray from his mouth.
"I have nowhere left to go," the man laments. "I cannot return to the barracks, and no inn or posting house will let me through the doors. I have trained all my life to protect Kenabres' citizens, and the foreigners, the tribes... everyone under her banner. Now, I am outcast in my own home. But, I am no coward, to run and hide away from what has happened to me. 'Why am I here?' you ask." The man, if indeed he could still be called that, shrugs. "What else is to be done?"
Exposed to Awfulness: When you were a child, you were nearly slain by a demon that managed to make its way through the wardstones into the lands beyond. The demon was slain before it could kill you, but you lingered at death’s door in a coma for weeks before waking. Ever since then, you’ve been unusually hale and hearty, as if your body had endured its brush with awfulness by becoming supernaturally fit. But still, the scars (whether physical or purely mental) of your brush with death remain, and nightmares of what could have happened often plague your sleep. Something, be it your own personal force of will, some strange “infection” from the assault, or perhaps a combination of both, has made you stronger than before. You’re not sure what to make of the theories that you survived this exposure to awfulness because you yourself have some trace of demonic heritage that helped give you the advantage you needed to survive—but whatever it was, you’re glad for it! Your strange resistance to demonic attacks persists to this day. Once per day when you fail a saving throw against an effect created by a demon that would kill or physically incapacitate you, you can immediately reroll that saving throw as a free action. You must take the second result, even if it is worse. Associated Mythic Path: Guardian. Multiple Characters: You and any others with this trait are related, if only distantly. You could be siblings or cousins—a condition that perhaps lends some credence to the theory that all of you share more than just a common bloodline.
+2 Strength, +2 Charisma, –2 Wisdom: Savage and monstrous, the terrifying spawn of demons know the chaotic fury of their Abyssal ancestors.
Native Outsider: Tieflings are outsiders with the native subtype.
Medium: Tieflings are Medium creatures and receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Tieflings have a base speed of 30 feet.
Darkvision: Tieflings see in the dark for up to 60 feet.
Skilled: Tieflings gain a +2 racial bonus on Disable Device and Perception checks.
Maw or Claw: Some tieflings take on the more bestial aspects of their fiendish ancestors. These tieflings exhibit either powerful, toothy maws or dangerous claws. The tiefling can choose a bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage or two claws that each deal 1d4 points of damage. These attacks are primary natural attacks. This racial trait replaces the spell-like ability racial trait.
Scaled Skin: The skin of these tieflings provides some energy resistance, but is also as hard as armor. Choose one of the following energy types: cold, electricity, or fire. A tiefling with this trait gains resistance 5 in the chosen energy type and also gains a +1 natural armor bonus to AC. This racial trait replaces fiendish resistance.
Prehensile Tail: Many tieflings have tails, but some have long, flexible tails that can be used to carry items. While they cannot wield weapons with their tails, they can use them to retrieve small, stowed objects carried on their persons as a swift action. This racial trait replaces fiendish sorcery.
Languages: Tieflings begin play speaking Common and either Abyssal or Infernal. Tieflings with high intelligence scores can choose from the following: Abyssal, Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Infernal, and Orc.
Thanks for taking time to consider!

Amaka Gry is missing from the divine list.Thanks for watching out for Amaka, Uncle Taco! Very fair-minded of you...
Polydeuces is a really interesting choice for this campaign; an outside the stereotypical approach for a giant good v evil showdown.
No problem. Its one thing not to be picked, its another to not be considered at all. I've had a character looked over and not considered because the PbP GM didn't add them to his list. He apologized in a PM but I'm still a little salty about that one.
I just wanted to play a preacher man. I think Asmodeus is one of more complex deities written into the setting, and Paizo seems to care more about fleshing out villains than they do heroes (which makes sense, because the assumed heroes of the world in most cases are the PCs).
Thanks for the complements by the way! I could see your character rising up against eh Jadwiga of Irrisen or the techno-horrors of Numeria, or the legions of undead in Ustalav just as easily as she turns her wrathful eye toward the Worldwound.

You know what the funny thing is about all the discussion/arguments that were had earlier in this thread about requiring divine/arcane characters to be able to cast 9th level spells. If someone had wanted to play a Warpriest, they practically qualify as pure melee and could easily have been submitted as such. Using their Weapon focus weapons, they get full BAB, plus the +1 from the Weapon Focus. Plus, while they lack slightly in feats, the incremental increase in damage enables one to take a 2-weapon style, say Thunder & Fang or 2 kukris, and turn this into a serious damage dealer with good healing/casting as a bonus. Thus, while not a Paladin, this would make a very nice holy warrior.
Just wanted to restate my interest, since my last post was a while back, and look forward to seeing who gets in! Best of luck everyone.
ME as well still here!
@Tirion: Yes, I had the same thought. Goes for Hunter, as well, really.
