Unchained Monk does, in fact, have many official Paizo archetypes!Thank you but not the archetypes I am looking for. Why didn't they implement some of the original? Granted 3rd Party did but we can't use 3rd party.
The official reasoning is power levels - unchained monk is a big boost up on monk, as are some of the vanilla monk archetypes, so combining them may be too powerful.
Either way, since rorek is already allowing awakened animals and all that crazy stuff, why don't you ask if you can convert the archetype you want? They're usually pretty simple changes. I've done that for another game I'm playing (water dancer).
I would like to apply with this character. To answer the questions that you laid out in the initial recruitment post:
One to two paragraphs describing where your character comes from and their personalty.
Zegenva is a street urchin from Almas, who was forced to flee there after accidentally stealing from the wrong thieves guild. She has been slowly working her way northward towards Varisia since then. She is a little gruff, and can seem uncaring at times. However, she is as caring as she can be towards children, especially those who lack parents.
There is a longer and more detailed backstory in my profile. I can post it here if you want me to.
1-2 goals your character has, short or long term.
*Zegenva is currently trying to find a safe place to hide from any of the enemies of her past. She has currently decided on Varisia as a good place to head, but hasn't gotten there yet. Anyplace along the way will do if it feels right to her.
*Additionally, she is looking to get a replacement chain for the pendant around her neck. The current leather strap is wearing down, and she wants to keep the pendant.
1-2 fears your character has.
*Zegenva is quite afraid of being completely alone, without anyone nearby at all.
*She is also afraid of rats, and tries her best to avoid them if possible.
If your character has any family/loved ones they are close to.
Zegenva was disowned by her blood-family in her young teens, and she has stopped caring about them since then. The only other person she had considered family is now deceased, and is connected to why she is traveling. (Explained in backstory.)
How you managed to end up in, or passing through, Pheandar.
Explained more in the longer backstory in my profile, but Zegenva is literally just passing through, taking a break on her journey towards Varisia.
A quirk or mannersim your character has ween stressed or frustrated.
When frustrated or stressed, Zegenva tends to start hitting things or growling low in her throat.
Ok, I found something that would work for an Awaken Animal.
PC is mostly done. Just need some last minute finishing touches.
Hmmmm... looking at that class distribution I'm very tempted to make my wolf a sorcerer instead of a druid...
Are you really going to transform the wolf into a Sorcerer? I am almost done with a Sorcerer build myself because I finally found a way to make an Awaken Animal character. If you are, please tell me and I will keep my current submission.
Oh, really? XD I'll hold off then.
As Almonihah (Mestin) was stating about the lack of full blown Spell Caster submissions, I finally found an animal I can use for an Awakened Animal.
I will instead go with this submission unless something changes. There are some characters that Velox can build a rapport with when those are chosen.
I have some really cool things in store for this build.
Just a heads up, Almonihah got special permission and worked privately with the GM to play his awakened animal.
There is zero guarantee that the GM will allow another, so if you're submission is based around being an awakened animal, chances are at least decent you may not get picked.
I have been working with the GM.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Arcane Pool (Su): At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells.
At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.
Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapons.
If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue’s attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.
Trapfinding
A rogue adds 1/2 her level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). A rogue can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Background
He got his wish when he entered the Forest Marshalls along with a number of other people. It was there that he made a lot of friends. Unfortunately, one particular battle with Molthune's Ironfang Legion caused him to quit. While he remains his happy-go-lucky self, there were signs that the battle left him scarred emotionally.
Paul has no really goals other than to live the life the way he wants, matching the free spirit of the nation of Nirmathas. Any effort he dishes out is out of necessity. What he fears the most is being forced on the spot to lead when no one else would as he had to do with the Forest Marshalls. While he has little ill-will towards hobgoblins, he does hold a slight fear of them.
When stressed, his time and true strategy is laugh at the face of danger while spouting jokes. Yet this is a ruse in order to get in his opponents' head as he devises a plan to gain an advantage.
OK, I believe I have finally finished Hakon.
The background was a bit longer than you requested (3 paragraphs), but since Hakon is from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, I felt a little bit of more explaining was needed, otherwise it would make no sense for him to be in Phaendar.
When Hakon was 25, while roving after the great beasts of his land, his group was ambushed by a group of orcs from the Hold of Belkzen, looking to capture the same beasts to use as war beasts. Many were killed and others were put in chains to be used as slaves or entertainment. Hakon was brought to Urgir, marching the whole Flood Road, and there he was sold as a slave to the Bearslayer tribe. To his luck, however, Hakon never reached their hold, for a patrol of knights from Lastwall attacked them. During the chaos of combat, Hakon and a couple other slaves escaped, reaching the Northern Fangwood and then the Southern Fangwood, for one of them was from Nirmathas, which was much closer than his own home.
Once Hakon and his companions thought themselves safe from the orcs, they were attacked by a patrol of the Ironfang Legion. Hakon isn't sure if he was the only survivor, but wounded, he escaped once more. He eventually collapsed from his wounds and was rescued by travelers heading for Phaendar. There he recovered slowly and regained his strength, and is now only waiting for a known merchant to finish his business in town before he follows him back to the north...
His goals, fears and quirks are all pretty much vanilla, but I figured you should not ALWAYS play a deeply complex character lol. Sometimes simple is good. They are also pretty open-ended in a way that even if Hakon is from far in the north, he'll easily bond with those around him when s%+~ hits the fan.
As any young kellid from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, Hakon wants a name for himself. According to their ways, one should earn their names according to their deeds.
Being an orphan, Hakon wants a family for himself. He wants to find a good and brave wife to eventually have children.
Fears
Hakon is a proud man and one of his worst fears is to die before earning his name, for he would be just another 'Hakon', not to be remembered by anyone.
As many others from his home, Hakon also fears to die by the forces of nature (cold, starvation), something quite less risky now in the south.
Quirks
When stressed, Hakon constantly cracks his knuckles, shoulders and neck.
I've also added my intended bonus feats for you to take a look and say if they are in line with your intention or not:
2: Nature Soul
4: Animal Ally (Despite an Animal Companion have potential for boosting combat, my intention is to pick either an animal for scouting or a mount to be used out of combat.)
6: Collector's Boon (Going for the beastmaster set, which gives a lot of nice secondary nature themed abilities)
8: Boon Companion
10: Improved Collector's Boon
12: Iron Will
14: Heroic Will
16: Improved Iron Will
18: Toughness
20: Endurance
I think I will be bowing out of this one, my plate is a bit full and there are a couple of specific campaigns I very much want to play if they come up. Good luck all!
I also am going to respectfully step away from this one. Thanks!
I am still interested and rather glad for the deadline delay.
My character became a Ratfolk, a merchant from Druma who is the only survivor of an Ironfang Legion attack on his caravan.
Classwise I'm looking at a Wizard, just not sure whether using the Exploiter archetype or the Aether school, and an Un-Rogue using the Phantom Thief archetype.
Which also leads me to a question for the GM: How does your house rule on wizards work with elemental schools, if it does?
Hi! Is there still time to present a new application? Never got to play this AP.
I came up with some background:
Backstory
Okay, here’s the bomb: Gabriel is a Molthuni.
From a tender age he showed some special gifts and, though it wasn’t evident at first sight, it became clear that some special blood was running through his veins. When he grew up, he joined the Iomedae cult and quickly stood out thanks to his knack with ranged weapons, something not usual among the Lady’s priesthood.
Gabriel was not the one to accept what he was told without thinking over it, though, and soon after being ordained he started noticing that life in Molthune was not as cheerful and happy as he had thought it was. He discovered that the aims of the high command were not selfless stand against evil, but rather conquest and influence at the expense of their close neighbours. He had faith in the Lady, though, and truly tried to believe that the situation was going to be amended.
His mind changed about that as well during a raid in Nirmathas. Gabriel was only a sergeant, and the raid involved several units trying to gather supplies beyond the enemy lines. They were supposed to get what they needed and go, but when leaving the village one of the high rank officers issued orders to unleash the Ironfang Legion squad. What he witnessed there that day deeply wounded his mind and soul. He confronted some of the legionnaires himself, trying to stop them from raping and cutthroating, and was nearly killed by his own forces.
Left for dead by the Molthuni raiding army, he later tried to reach friendly ground, leaving the devastated place behind, but passed out somewhere in the wilds. He was found there by some passers-by, taken to the village of Pheandar and healed. His wounds needed extra time, though, since they got infected and he suffered through a flu, and while recovering he learned to admire the beauty of the villagers’ everyday life, not bound to the constraining laws of an army and free from thoughts of invasions and dominance.
Almost recovered, now he has decided he might live a happy life here, and changed his name to Griseo, meaning Grey in his native Taldane language. He knows he’s in debt with the village, and has decided to use his scouting and hunting abilities to make some profit for its inhabitants. Gathering his bow, he’s bagged more than a pair of kills to be sold at the market, thinking the money would do well to buy medicines or whatever the leaders of the village might think is needed. It’s not much, but it’s a start.
Personality and Appearance
Griseo is thin, though not weak. He’s a bit taller than the average, and has recently taken little care for his hair and beard. He still has a special thing that speaks military of him, but is slowly getting used to the relaxed and easy living of the countryside. When it comes to talking, Gabriel is usually scarce. Life in Molthune hasn’t really honed his social skills. He’s kind, though, and usually tries to wear himself the other person’s skin. He’s always had the habit of cracking his thumbs knuckles when the situation requires extra focus or is somewhat stressful.
Goals
Gabriel wants to leave his life in Molthune behind and pursue a community life here in Nirmathas, of which he has completely fallen in love. He knows it’ll take time, but he hopes he can use his skills for the benefit of the people.
Fears
He fears the people’s reaction if, or when, they find out he is a soldier of the enemy army. Back when he was rescued, he was lucky all Molthuni symbols were wiped out from his clothes or lost, but he knows someone is going to ask him questions or maybe the Molthuni are going to come back, and he won’t be able to hide it. All he can do for now is try to prove his good will, so when the time comes at least a few might be willing to believe him.
Relatives and friends
His family was left behind in Molthune, and Griseo really wants to keep it that way. His parents were constantly pressing him, and only wanted the young child to excel at everything to produce fame and glory for the family. Griseo never experienced true affection during his youth.
Here in Nirmathas, he considers the people from Pheandar his friends. Not in the sense of true friends, but as friendly people who don’t expect things from him, people who’s just there and wish him well as they would wish anyone.
I'll do the crunch later today, he's to be a Warpriest/Ranger, ranged dps.
Here is my submission. Pushing the spoilers down because I hate the avatar text wrap.

v
Wilhelm was born in 4689 AR in Esin to two Human parents. Esin was a small mining thorpe, roughly between the Dwarven citadel Kraggodan and the Nirmathi town of Phaendar, south of the Deepcut River. The thorpe sported a population of perhaps 60 adults, roughly an even split between Humans and Dwarves. The people of Esin predominately mined bituminous coal, and traded it with the Dwarves for metal crafts, and with the Nirmathi for wood crafts. Wilhelm was married to a Human woman named Floretta in 4707 AR, and had two children by her, a son named Lambert born in 4708 AR, and a daughter named Thekla born in 4712 AR. The family lived in a single-room, wattle-and-daub roundhouse with a thatch roof. Wilhelm worked as a miner, and the family also grew potatoes for sustenance. Wilhelm had a touch of Shaitan ancestry and could see well in the dark, so he often worked at night among the Dwarves.
In late 4715 AR, hobgoblins () crossed into Nirmathas from Molthune at the Inkwater River and made their way into the southern Mindspin Mountains (). An organized warband, the hobgoblins raided Esin in the dead of night, setting the small village afire. Wilhelm was in the mines when the attack started. Wilhelm panicked when the alarm was raised and rushed to his home rather than joining the dozen or so Dwarves in a coordinated defense. There he encountered a detachment of hobgoblins. Rather than kill him, they made sport of him; they surrounded him, and one was pushed into the ring to fight Wilhelm alone. When he managed to defeat this "challenger" (), the leader () barked something and the hobgoblins parted to allow Wilhelm access to his home, but once inside, the hobgoblins pushed a cart in front of the door from the outside and set the house on fire. Lambert was able to crawl out through a narrow window, and Floretta passed Thekla through to him. Floretta and Wilhelm, neither of whom could fit through the window, resigned themselves to death, and lost consciousness as the hut collapsed around them.
Wilhelm awoke under a strange roof. He had vague, fragmented recollections of a moving sky above, and of someone caring for him. He came to learn that a merchant caravan traveling from Kraggodan had come across the ruins of Esin perhaps a day or so after the attack. A cleric of Iomedae had been traveling with them, and had insisted upon collecting any survivors they could, taking them along to Phaendar. The cleric, a Human named Bruno, had kept Wilhelm and three others alive. Wilhelm, for his part, had been severely burned over his entire body, and the burns had already been infected when he was found. He had been in-and-out of consciousness for perhaps a week in Phaendar, but with Bruno's aid, had survived the infection.
After he had recovered, Wilhelm returned to Esin for closure. None of his family had been among the survivors brought to Phaendar. He found Floretta's remains among the ruins of his home, and Lambert had apparently been cut down not too far away, but he could not find Thekla's body, and assumed that some wild animal had dragged it off (). He buried his wife and son, and collected what possessions had survived the fire, to be sold. With nothing left for him in Esin, Wilhelm dedicated himself to Iomedae (), and particularly to the protection of the weak and powerless. He resides now in Phaendar, but is somewhat reclusive and known to be something of a grump. He turned down magical treatment to remove the horrific burn scars, and so rarely goes out in public. When he does, he often wears a helmet that obscures view of his face, and clothing that covers all of his skin.
I generally find that going through beliefs and facets used in Dwarf Fortress helps me better understand and define a character, so in Dwarf Fortress terms...
Has a great deal of respect for the law. Greatly prizes loyalty. Sees family as one of the most important things in life. Thinks friendship is important. Respects power. Believes that honesty is a high ideal. Is utterly disgusted by guile and cunning. Finds himself somewhat disgusted with eloquent speakers. Has a great respect for fairness. Values decorum, dignity, and proper behavior. Is a firm believer in the value of tradition. Doesn't care about art one way or another. Values cooperation. Values independence. Views any show of emotion as offensive. Finds introspection to be a waste of time. Believes that self-mastery and the denial of impulses are of the highest ideals. Values tranquility and a peaceful day. Values a harmonious existence. Sees merrymaking as a waste. Values good craftsmanship. Values martial prowess. Respects the development of skill. Deeply respects those that work hard at their labors. Believes that those who sacrifice for others should be deeply respected. Doesn't have strong views on competition. Greatly respects individuals that persevere through their trials and labors. Finds leisure time wasteful. Doesn't particularly respect commerce. Values romance. Doesn't care about nature one way or another. Sees war as a useful means to an end. Values knowledge.
Is not the type to fall in love or even develop positive feelings, and is conflicted by this, as he values romance. Is quick to form negative views about things. Often feels envious of others. Is dour as a rule. Is very quick to anger. Has a calm demeanor. Never feels lustful passions. Is confident under pressure. Desires little for himself in the way of possessions. Only rarely feels strong cravings or urges. Is stubborn. Is unfriendly and disagreeable, and is conflicted by this, as he values a harmonious existence, and thinks friendship is important. Could be considered rude. Has a tendency to go it alone, without considering the advice of others. Is incredibly brave in the face of looming danger, perhaps a bit foolhardy. Is generally quite confident of his abilities when undertaking specific ventures. Takes no pleasure in his talents and appearance. Presents himself modestly and frowns on any flashy accoutrements. Does not find most jokes humorous. Is vengeful and never forgets or forgives past grievances. Has a low sense of self-esteem. Is sometimes cruel. Can be very single-minded. Tends to assume the worst of two outcomes will be the one that comes to pass. Is rarely moved by curiosity. Has a strong tendency towards privacy. Tends to be a bit stubborn in changing his mind about things. Tends to form only tenuous emotional bonds with others. Does not generally respond to emotional appeals. Finds helping others emotionally rewarding. Has a strong sense of duty. Tries to keep his things orderly. Does not trust others. Prefers to be alone. Is assertive. Is grounded in reality. Likes to keep things practical, without delving too deeply into the abstract. Does not have a great aesthetic sensitivity.
As for fears, Wilhelm is notably uncomfortable around fire. It takes his mind to very unpleasant places, and so he has taken to avoiding it. Not much else to say on that front.
Wilhelm considers himself friends with Bruno, a traveling cleric of Iomedae who travels between Tamran and Kraggodan and so regularly passes through Phaendar, but the two do not often see one another. I imagine Bruno passes through Phaendar with trade caravans four times a year, each time stopping for one or two days. He and Wilhelm touch base, and perhaps grab drinks, but not much else.
Wilhelm is also friends with Vend, a Dwarf with whom he was passingly acquainted before and who survived the destruction of Esin and now likewise resides in Phaendar; the other two survivors left, citing how painful it was to live so close to the ruins of Esin. I imagine Wilhelm and Vend occasionally drink together, mostly in silence. They don't have much in common, beyond their shared trauma, and the subject is more or less verboten.
He wears a breastplate over his chest and helmet atop his head, complete with a visor that entirely obscures his face. Beneath his armor, he wears soft almond (#EFDECD) pants of some manner of cloth, a simple almond tunic of the same material, and a simple leather belt. Solid tanned leather boots of black adorn his feet, supple black leather gloves cover his hands, and a thick almond cloth cloak with a simple cowl rest on his shoulders bearing the image of a longsword in silver over a sun in gold, with a plain copper clasp. He carries a wooden shield near the size of a door on his left arm, and a leather pack rests on his back. From a chain about his neck, a symbol of wrought silver hangs, mirroring the emblem on his cloak. His right hip prominently features a short-handled warhammer dangling from a simple leather loop. A leather pouch, which looks to contain maybe two score coins, and a small dagger in a worn leather sheath, rest on his belt at his left hip.
Ability: Before modifiers, Wilhelm with have 17 Strength (13 points), 16 Constitution (10 points), 14 Dexterity (5 points), 11 Intelligence (1 point), 7 Charisma (-4 points), and 14 Wisdom (5 points). This should equal a 30-point buy. His racial mods are +STR/WIS and -CHA.
Traits: I'll be taking the Disillusioned combat trait, the Life of Toil social trait, and the Ironfang Survivor campaign trait. I typically would build Wilhelm with the Burned drawback, but this is just a suggestion.
Class: Wilhelm's primary class will be Warpriest using the Sixth Wing Bulwark archetype, and he will eventually multiclass into the Stalwart Defender prestige class, going for an even split between the two. His gestalt class will be Fighter with the Tower Shield Specialist archetype. I'll be selecting the Glory and War blessings. I expect to take the Renewed Defense, Immobile, Fearless Defense, Bulwark, and Halting Blow defensive powers.
Feats: Wilhelm is a defense build. As such, Wilhelm's core feats are Shield Focus/Improved Shield Focus/Greater Shield Focus, Armor Focus (Full Plate)/Improved Armor Focus (Full Plate), Mobile Bulwark Style/Mobile Fortress/Mobile Stronghold, and Tower Shield Specialist. These variously improve his AC, mitigate his ACP, and make the tower shield a bit less awful by reducing its penalty to attack and giving the Total Cover option a bit more utility. I'll be grabbing Dodge, Endurance, and Toughness to qualify for a prestige class. I'll also grab Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Orc Skull Ram), Shield Brace, and Combat Reflexes once his shield's ACP is somewhat mitigated to start wielding a reach weapon and focusing more on area denial, to make up for his lack of mobility. From there, I'll generally be grabbing from a pot of armor- and shield-oriented feats such as Kraggodan's Stance, Covering Shield, Missile Shield, Saving Shield, Cushioning Shield, Shielded Stand, Covering Defense, Feint Defender, and Shield Specialization (Tower)/Greater Shield Specialization (Tower).
Skills: I intend to max Knowledge (Engineering), Perception, Profession (Miner), and Sense Motive. Beyond that, I'll put a few ranks into Heal and Intimidate, and drop a rank into Acrobatics, Climb, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Knowledge (Dungeoneering, Religion), Ride, Spellcraft, Survival, and Swim.
Equipment: I'll be grabbing the following to start: Breastplate, Tower Shield, Warhammer, Dagger, Traveler's Outfit (free), Silver Holy Symbol of Iomedae, Common Backpack, Small Tent, Blanket, Holy Text of Iomedae, Mess Kit, Gear Maintenance Kit, Whetstone, and Belt Pouch. This leaves me with 10 gold pieces, 11 silver pieces, and 18 copper pieces.

Okay, here's Griseo's alias with all the background and mechanics. Some things might need a review, I've done it in all haste.
That is saying that you allow the Divine Marksman as an archetype. If you don't, that could easily be changed.

Divine Marksman is actually Ilsurian Archer, FYI.
I'll be submitting Sakhtar Whitetail, my Ratfolk Aether Elementalist Wizard / Phantom Thief Unchained Rogue.
Mechanically he's very versatile and his main game will be utility and control.
Not sure on the full bonus feat plan yet but at 2nd level it will be Magic Trick (Mage Hand) and I'll grab Deft Hands at either 4 or 6.
Recently his family decided he was skilled enough and old enough to join the caravan's moving out of Druma. This would give him a chance to learn more about the world and practice his skills. He wouldn't be leading though, that job still laid with his cousins, both a few years older than Sakhtar. It was on his first trip into Nirmathas that disaster struck as the caravan was attacked by Hobgoblins. While the three Blackjackets that accompanied the caravan fought bravely and killed dozens of hobgoblins they were overwhelmed in the end. Once the guards were out of the way the hobs proceeded to slaughter all the people and go through all the merchandise. When they found Sakhtar, hiding behind crates in one of the wagons they moved in to kill but were called back by an officer. There was a brief exchange in goblin which they didn't thing he'd understand. They were to escort him away, making sure to pass by the corpses of the other ratfolk, and then scare him off so he'd tell stories. When one protested and said they had orders to kill all the officer laughed. What could a little ratling do?
After several days of fleeing, getting only the barest amount of sleep, Sakhtar ended up stumbling into the town of Phaendar. That was 2 months ago now. In those 2 months he recovered from his wounds and, to some extent, the scare and he has come to work as a carpenter in the town. While he used to only apply that skill to repair wagons, market stalls and similar things he now ended up making all kinds of items. In his spare time he has also been practising combat skills in the hopes of being more capable of defending himself in the future.
Another motive is that he simply wants to become better. Better at everything he does, which does lead to having to divide his time and brainpower, meaning things often don't turn out quite as well as planned.
While not strictly a fear, Sakhtar does still wake up panting in the middle of the night as he still has nightmares of the attack. The thing he fears is that he won't be enough and he can't get payback for what happened to his cousins and the other people on their caravan. This is an extension of a general fear of not being good enough which in turn is something he seeks to conquer.
When stressed Sakhtar tends to scrunch his nose, pluck at things and nervously tidy his clothes.
The family members that play the biggest role in his life right now are the two cousins that got killed in the attack and who still haunt Sakhtar's dreams.
Divine Marksman is actually Ilsurian Archer, FYI.Okay, here's Griseo's alias with all the background and mechanics. Some things might need a review, I've done it in all haste.
That is saying that you allow the Divine Marksman as an archetype. If you don't, that could easily be changed.
That's why I'm asking for permission :)
I don't think that is necessary since it is Paizo original content.
Yeah, well, I'm really asking permission for the non-fluff version, the one not related with Ilsurian and all that jazz. Only a Divine Marksman, a ranger which does the bow thing very well instead of casting spells. Since it's only a minor change to get another (or none) archetype if not approved, I figured I could post the character as ready to go.
Speaking of non-fluff versions, I've put together a character using the new Omdura class, which is hopefully okay to use.
A very interesting class. What's its original fluff?
Dotting for interest. I'm working on a half-elf sylvan rogue//witch, which is likely what I'll be submitting.
Hey folks, good luck to all! Happy Gaming!
Astrill of Desna, bowing out of this one.
A very interesting class. What's its original fluff?
See this - basically it's a comic book tie-in like the Vampire Hunter D stuff.
I see. Thanks!
Today is the day that the decision is made!
One more application for the pile! Ausra is a Half-Elven Cavalier (Daring Champion) / Bard (Studious Librarian). Answers to the recruitment questions are below. The full information on Ausra is in this alias's profile.
Aside from doing the typical bard kinds of things, Ausra will be better at healing due to the Frontier Healer trait. Studious Librarian allows her to cast Wizard/Sorcerer/Witch spells from scrolls and spellbooks without consuming them a limited number of times per day.
In the shorter term Ausra is wants to find some people or a place where she fits, some sort of community where she will find friendship and emotional support. In a sense her roving around Nirmathis is a form of matchmaking. Where will she find a spark that hints she’s found a place for herself? Given her past it seems safer to go about things this way rather than committing to a place and hoping her investment in it will be reciprocated.
Longer term Ausra would like to found a great library. One thing she misses about Kyonin is how highly esteemed knowledge and the arts are there. She wants to foster the same kind of “civilization” in Nirmathis.
While it’s not exactly a fear, Ausra worries that she will in time be forgotten. Partly this is a result of her experiences with elven perceptions of time. She is aware that the entire span of her presence in Kyonin barely registers as a blip to its residents. Most everyone is forgotten over the span of a few generations, but Ausra could be entirely forgotten by the very people who knew her in a few hundred years. Perhaps even by her mother. She often perseverates on these thoughts.
Although she doesn’t know why, Ausra fears and hates spiders.
The only long-term connection Ausra has is to her mother in Kyonin. Against Ausra’s wishes, their relationship isn’t a close one. Pelingilneth, her mother, didn’t neglect Ausra, but she never seemed to bond closely with her daughter either. Over the course of her childhood, it became clear to Ausra that Pelingilneth did not think much of her father. She suspects Pelingilnith never did have an emotional connection to him, although Ausra knows nothing of the specifics about what transpired between them.
Ausra is passing through Pheandar as she does many of the towns, hamlets, and villages in Nirmathis. She doesn’t exactly have a set, repeating route, but she’s visited Pheandar briefly more than once in the past.
Ausra is a bit on the nervous side and has several soothing rituals. Her hair is quite long and she combs, braids, and unbraids it repeatedly if it’s a sitting and waiting for something to happen situation. She is an avid reader of course and does it to take mind off troublesome things. If very agitated Ausra paces. Sometimes she reads while she paces.
No worries, take as much time as you need. We'll all still be here :)
Fingers crossed

Okay, it took longer than I had anticipated, but I have a full list of players selected, the list includes the two already slotted in.
You people don't make this easy, that is for sure, as such, I broke convention and stretched for a 7th player. I wish I could take everyone, sadly, I just don't think that is feasible, even in the PbP format.
