"Ah, good day, and welcome! Yes, please, come in, you are always welcome at Talouf's Baths. It is the best place to come in Katapesh after a long, harrowing journey. Please do not consider me rude, but judging by the size of your purse, you must have had a spectacular and treacherous journey, one worth telling for the ages! And indeed, here in Katapesh is the best place in all Golarion to be, if you have money to burn."
I am recruiting for a sandbox-style adventure, starting in Katapesh. You are all freshly coming from some lucrative adventure of some kind. Basically, where we go is up to you!
Here are the rules for the game:
1. The sources are Core, APG, and the Inner Sea World Guide. PCs have 2 traits.
2. Starting PC level is 2.
3. Ability scores: After this post, I will generate 5 arrays. Arrange the scores as desired. Choose whichever array you like and create your PC that way. I will choose one PC from each array--so if one array happens to be more popular, it will be harder to get that particular PC. If you manage to negotiate with the other players who gets which array, I am willing to accommodate whatever deal you come up with.
4. Equipment: You have 150 gp to spend on equipment. Yes, that's it. However, you will also start with 2,000 gp in coins, gems, jewelry, objets d'art, or commodities. What exactly you have, and how exactly you came by it, is up to you.
5. Regarding background, how you came by the wealth will be important, clearly. But also, what you're thinking of doing with it will also shape the direction of the adventure.
Enjoy!
Looks very interesting. I love the background and look forward to posting an application.
Ah, I would like array #3 for my Detective.
The funds are in a mix of coin and gems from the Appelionis family. I managed to find the matriarch's lost sun and heir. More importantly I got him safely away from his cousin's family and arranged for information about the cousins activities to become public. There will be a scandal but it will only effect a small branch of the family.
Madam Appelionis was more grateful than most of my clients.
Oh, me. Call me True, Caelius True confidential investigations.
I have the 2nd array
I'll try for array #5. He's a half-elf alchemist. I'll get the character up when finished.
Àrray - 5
Character - Faradin "The Bloody" Anastaire. Faradin was a Pirate Bard (Sea Singer), till the proverbial kitchen got far too damn hot. On the run from his ex-Crew and a number of minor Lords, the young Chelish man found himself in the illustrious City of Katapesh.
Chelish by birth, Pirate by nature, Bard by the grace of the Gods, for Faradin the world is one huge purse and he is willing to shake it the hell out to get what he wants!
Wealth - Faradin's wealth is stolen. He likes to think of himself as a liberator. He did, after all, liberate his old crew and a score of Nobles out of his formidable wealth, which includes the only copy of a very much prized Chelaxian Opera. For the gold and the diamonds Faradin cares little. His dream is to one day have this Opera performed, with he as the leading man.
To realize this dream Faradin needs to find his Cast and a wealthy beneficiary. He knows time is short, he will one day be caught by for his Crimes, but he does not care. His one dream will be realized, if he has to soak the world in blood to manage it!
Hi, also interested in a position thinking of a half-orc sorcerer aiming for dragon disciple i'll take array 1 (18 too tempting and i'll live with the 8!)
more to follow

Array 1
Rogue
How many total characters are you looking for? I've got a Bard in mind if there's still room...(or possibly a Ranger)

Hah, are you channeling the merchant in the beginning of the Disneys' Aladdin movie? That's the feel I'm getting here. :-)

Array 4
SJ
I submit Ruhk for your approval, or not haha.
Used Array #3.
Here's Marhorn reporting for duty (and, hopefully, approval).
I chose Array #1.
I'm still working on him, but wanted to get a dot on the post and my name in the pot.
UPDATE: Added a background and I think most of the stats are up-to-date.
I apologize to anyone who takes the time to read my background. It's a little longer than intended.
As promised:
Baal-Ullar, born of an orc mother into slavery in the Shackles. After the natural death of his mother and 18 years of servitude he had earned his freedom, working as a mercenary. Now with the 'profits' from his last job he seeks the truth of his past and ancestry.
Every night he has prolific dreams of flying and a large silver dragon...

Memnu's Recent Background
Born in Thuvia, there is little remarkable about Memnu's early years. Abandoned by his family, who had too many children and not enough coin, he was basically a temple servant for many years before he felt Pharasma's call.
Not too long ago, while still in Thuvia, he was hired (along with others) to reclaim a stolen document pertaing to the Sun Orchid Elixir. The whole adventure ended up being a setup and con but ended successfully with the exposure of the false bureaucrat. The group stayed together for a few days in Lamasara but eventually went their seperate ways.
During the adventure, Memnu had become rather attracted to a young Vudrani Priestess of Calistria named Prema. Before the group drifted apart, the two had dinner at one of the cities finer establishments. After dinner, Memnu proceeded to get roaring drunk (this, in itself, is rare as Memnu is not a big drinker and doesn't have much alcoholic tolerance) and began declaring his undying love and devotion for Prema culminating in a grand (by drunken standards) statement of his intent to marry her. Laughing, Prema refused. This did not deter the increasingly boisterous and besotted Memnu (in retrospect, it's amazing he wasn't tossed out) who continued with his declarations of love and marriage. Eventually, though still laughing, Prema agreed to marriage...under one condition: he must return the contents of a bag to her sometime after dawn of the following day. Agreeing, Memnu took the bag and promptly passed out.
Waking the next morning (late), Prema was long gone. Laughing at his own foolishness, Memnu opened the bag to see what was inside, fully expecting it to be junk. Instead he found matched pair or earrings in the shape of a wasp made of gold with yellow gemstones and a tiny symbol etched on each one. By Memnu's own divinations, the earrings are not magical and the symbols have no discenable meaning (possibly a private meaning to Prema or the mark of the craftsman who made them). Having them appraised, he was staggered to find that one earring alone was worth appx. 750 gold with the matched pair being worth around 2000. Utterly stupefied (yet intrigued), Memnu is now determined to find Prema.
Scouring Lamasara for clues, all he found out was that she had been heard to be traveling to Katapesh; and so here he is.
He never lets the earrings out of his possession. He usually carries them in a small bag attached to a simple steel necklace. He almost never talks about the earrings nor shows them to anybody. Partly for personal reasons and also because flashing around a 2000gp set of earrings doesn't seem like a particularly bright idea.
SJ
Sorry for the length; this story seemed a lot shorter in my head.
Hp lv 2:
I'm looking over the PCs now, but here's where it stands:
Competing for Array #1:
Revengance
Marhorn Petdak
Baal-UllarArray #2:
Vallentin Ra'ulArray #3:
Ruhk "The Dandy"Array #4:
MemnuArray #5:
Faradin "The Bloody"I'll review the PCs and ask any questions I have.
I am sorry did I miss a requirement? Caelius True, confidential investigator was using array #3.
edit. Ah I see I did miss something and you did want full characters. Oh well if it is still open after work I can pull Caelius together.
If not then enjoy the game.
Sizzle walks into Talouf's Baths late as usual, a little tired from working all night. As they say no rest for the wicked. Being a 'lady of the night', and a former assistant for a newly exposed false bureaucrat, time has been short. After the exposure of the bureaucrat she gathered all of the information reguarding the group that exposed him while she was in Thuvia. There was a clue as to the whereabouts of one of the members which led to Katapesh. Here she took up the name Sizzle (her real name being Shana Truce) and became a freelance lady of love. Hoping to run into anyone with information on Memnu.
I would like stat set 1
Sizzle is a 2nd lvl Witch.
Just out of curiosity, what races/classes are everbody? I'm just curious what everyone else has made. I see Baal-Ullar's sheet, but that character is in a competitive array, and that Faradin "the Bloody" is a Sea Pirate Bard.

What you can do, if you've never made characters to play here before, is go into "My Account" at the top of the page, and create a new alias. Give the new alias your character's name.
Then, click on the alias's name under My Account and select Edit Profile. Then, feel free to add all your character's details to the sheet below.
Now you've got a PC ready to go on the system, and your character sheet is always quickly available.
Wow, I learned something new today.
Of course, in my area, people really don't go for that sort of uppity behavior (especially my boss). I may have to lay low for awhile. ;)
SJ
Ok still a work in progress but Caelius is looking good.
DM Please take a look at the background as it has changed slightly.

Note:
I have added to Baal's Bio (Again sorry for the length; on a roll here):
Baal:
Born: in the Cargo Hold of Kelizandri's Blessed Wake (a slaver cargo ship), docked in Port Peril, The Shackles at the time.
Mother: Dhia
Between Ages 0 to 4: Dhia worked as an indentured servant for Vladimir 'The Tempest Duke' Kislev (a member of the Council of Free Captains). As part of the terms of service between them, she was to live and work in the house in exchange for food and lodgings.
Between Ages 4 to 22: Baal lived, trained and worked for the Brotherhood for the Protection of Free Trade. This consisted of the amalgamation of the Brotherhood of Blades Mercenary Company and the Golden Scales Trade Caravan Group.
Baal's contract was purchased by the Brotherhood at aged 4 as it was seen as an investment by the group's leaders to buy children and teach them moral right, wrong and dubiously grey. Throughout his career as a mercenary, he was paid for his service. By the age of 22, he had built up a reasonable account with the Pay Master, his payment mainly being in the form of Gems, Spices and Illicit Substances.
After reaching Katapesh, he decides to retire from the life of a mercenary, and begin a life of adventure searching for his heritage...
Anything happening?
I'm afraid not. It appears I've bene able to find enough time to play, but not to GM. I'll keep this in mind should I find the time again, but thanks to everyone for their interest, and I wish you all the best.
Well rats. Thanks for letting us know Veritas. Finding time can be difficult, but at least you now know that players are available should things change.
have fun
