Was very sick for a few days, going to put together my submission now. If we are allowed two submissions per person I might write up a Monk and a Skald.
I'm happy with my one submission. :)
I said Monk or Skald and now I am builging a pyro kineticist who is obssessed with the torch of... Torch. Of course that isn't his only hook, he won't want to stay in Torch forever. After all, his master taught him that he must use his powers to brings light to the lives of men!
This is my kineticist, he had a background before my browser crashed... I'll fill it in soon. Basics are that he was raised on the outskirts of Torch by a Monk and wanted a chance to study the forge after his master died before he set out to see the world. Skymetal Smith trait.
Background written, just need to purchase equipment, add another trait, maybe boost the background section a bit and write a 'future build plans' section.
I am really hoping to be picked, this AP seems incredibly fun and I am really excited to try out the kineticist class now. (Sorry Monk and Skald, you just aren't a fire bender!)
PS: Anyone know of any traits that would fit someone raised by a monk who isn't a monk?
PS: Anyone know of any traits that would fit someone raised by a monk who isn't a monk?
Style Sage could be a good fit.
I'm noticing that almost every submission here has the Technologist feat...
While it's not a bad thing, I do prefer a party with a range of motivations.
Does this mean fighters get Combat Stamina?
Sure. It doesn't seem egregious.
Also, your character concept is fine.
Here is the updated submission list:
Fighter Types:
Elena ‘Strong Wing’ - Shalin
Denlar Bonavin - Brandon Dellman
Kerstas - Jon A.
Anders - Nathan Monson
Rak Stonecleave - Anoirtrou
Unnamed cybersoldier fighter - Threeshades
Cleric Types:
Sarona Epsilon - Dragoncat
Druenor Hammerstriker - Mokshai
Wizard Types:
Unnamed android arcanist - Ravenfall
Xzaram - Xzaral
Adrien Belmont - JDPhipps
Godric Emberwise - The Pale King
Rogue Types:
Skikkikitikut - pH unbalanced
Osmillar Vendeltray - Cydrius
Drus - Bowen Fitzcairn
Lucrezia Nim - Reiterpallaschkk
Doing an android Druid of air (because let's face it: lightning + robots = fired circuits!) with the local ties trait.
And I'm also going to do a ratfolk gunslinger (archetypes gulch gunner, gun tank, and techslinger) with the numerian archaeologist trait.
My first submission is Gema, Android Arcanist (White Mage). Or well, she will be my first submission once I finish her background information, but there's her crunch.
My second submission will likely be a human Spellslinger or an Oracle, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Was wondering about third party stuff like this here favored class options. In it the book says for androids for their favored class bonus: Druid: Gain electricity resistance 1. Each time the druid selects this reward, increase her resistance to electricity by 1 (maximum 10).
Since I plan on submitting an android Druid could I use this favored class bonus please? It would make sense since she has Druid domain of air and would make sense for her background too. I wanted to okay this with you first before I finish her stats up.
Dotting for interest, will probably be doing up a cleric of Desna going Against the Technic League.

I've got two ideas floating around that I may try to get submitted before recruitment ends:
1. Android Spellslinger/Fighter/Eldritch Knight
2. Orc Battle Oracle (Spirit Guide, Life spirit)
The android would learn to blend tech with his magic, and the orc excels at smashing robots and stitching friends back together. Both of them seem fun to play in a tech based game.
Here is my ratfolk gunslinger! Still working on her background. Should be done by tomorrow with it.
Also waiting on the gms response on the third party stuff before I get started on the android Druid.
Skikkikitikut looks like loads of fun to play with!
Still mulling over ideas, well aware that I'll need to have them done soon. >.> I've been wanting to play with a Skald, but there's so much potential for others... I might go for an anti-tech skald, and a pro-tech something else.
Actually, given that this is the sci-fi AP, is there any chance you'd allow a Soulknife? It's a psionic class, but doesn't actually gain any power manifesting ability, so it wouldn't come with the baggage of the psionics system. If the answer's "no", that's cool; you never be anywhere if you don't ask.

Cala was born and raised in the Echo Woods, where she grew up as a typical elf would. She grew strong in the ways of woodlore and archery, showing prowess with a bow even as early as her 12th year. When she came of age, she joined the elven guard, serving in that corps as a guerilla warrior.
But her destiny lay along a different path. One evening, as she returned home, she found the house empty and her other and siblings missing. Her father lay dying on the floor in the ruins of the home. He survived long enough to convey to her the nature of the attackers. He described them as humanoid, but with flesh of steel.
It has taken Cala less than a year to divine the nature of her father's killers, and she is relatively certain that this is the work of the Technic League. She has not heard from her mother or sisters, but fears that they may be slaves of the Technic League. She will not rest until she has found them.
She has traced the League to the town of Torch. The only way to find her parents and siblings is to engage the League directly. Is it possible that they have something to do with the problems in Torch? There is only one way to find out.
Cala gets her nickname from the trouble that seems to follow her everywhere.
Favored class options and the soulknife are allowed.
I have a Gnome Oracle of the Heavens that I really like in the works for a second submission, but I would still much rather try out the Kineticist. And I mean come on, Godric Emberwise is way too good of a name to waste! :P
Did you pick a second trait for Godric?
Not yet, Style Sage is cool, but I find it unlikely that he will have points in those skills.
Favored class options and the soulknife are allowed.
Cool! I'll get started on her right away!
This holy woman was called Onna, the Hallit word for "mother." Each time she was reborn, the tribe's lorekeepers would teach her the history of her past lives until she learned to meet her past selves in person through the spirit-sleep. This was the way of things until the newest Onna, barely four years after her rebirth and still learning the ways of the tribe's spirit magic, received a terrible vision. She witnessed herself soaring high above the world, adrift among the stars of the infinite sky, looking down upon the plains of her tribe's homeland. She spotted a beautiful violet flame upon a hilltop, and her eyes were drawn to it. As she watched, the flame vanished, snuffed out like a candle. All at once, she was wracked with terrible fear. Something was wrong, she could feel it at once. She awakened with a scream, but returning to the waking world did nothing to quell the terror in her heart. Eyes open or shut, she could see the image of that light being devoured like it were right in front of her. Each night since, the vision returned, growing worse each time until it threatened to drive her mad. On the tenth night, the young girl gathered her belongings for travel and fled the village, driven like one possessed. She knew not her path, but ran with no rest for days across the open plain until she came upon a settlement atop a lumpy hill she knew all too well from her terrible dreams.
Onna had come to Torch, and there she would find her true path.
Here is my android druid! She is strange, even more so than most androids are as she doesn't remember her past as well as her origins. She finds storms fascinating, and at times displays emotions, which surprise even her, causing her to wonder: am I some sort of new type of android?
I'll have Kubi the ratfolk gunslinger up shortly as well!
And I'm SCKnightHero1 by the way.
And it's done! I got her background, description, and personality finished! Now to finish up my second submission for the Mummy's Mask recruitment.

OK, finally got the background and description done for Skikkikitikut, the ratfolk rogue. Here it is, with the crunch repeated as well so that it is all together.

Spd 20 ft.
Melee Weapons:
Dagger +4 (1d3,19-20,x2,P/S, 10ft)
Claw x2 +4 (-1 if secondary) (1d4,20,x2,B/S)
Tailblade +4 (-1 if secondary) (1d2,20,x2, S)

Knowledge (Local): +7
Linguistics: +7
Perception: +8 (+9 vs mech or tech traps)
Ride: +3
Sense Motive: +2
Sleight of Hand: +7
Stealth : +11
Survival: +2
Technic Training (Ex): A Numerian scavenger adds 1/2 her rogue level to Perception skill checks to locate mechanical or high-tech traps and to Disable Device skill checks against these traps (minimum +1). She gains Technologist as a bonus feat. She cannot use Disable Device to disarm magical traps. This ability replaces trapfinding.
Slow Speed: Ratfolk have a base speed of 20 feet.
Darkvision: Ratfolk can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Rodent Empathy: Ratfolk gain a +4 racial bonus on Handle Animal checks made to influence rodents.
Swarming: Ratfolk are used to living and fighting communally, and are adept at swarming foes for their own gain and their foes' detriment. Up to two ratfolk can share the same square at the same time. If two ratfolk in the same square attack the same foe, they are considered to be flanking that foe as if they were in two opposite squares.
Tinker: Ratfolk gain a +2 racial bonus on Craft (alchemy), Perception, and Use Magic Device checks.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Rogues are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, short sword, and shortbow. They are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
Sneak Attack: 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 2 rogue levels thereafter. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. This additional damage is precision damage and is not multiplied on a critical hit.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (such as a sap, unarmed strike, or whip), 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 total concealment.
Finesse Training (Ex): At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. Whenever she makes a successful melee attack with the selected weapon, she adds her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to the damage roll. If any effect would prevent the rogue from adding her Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her Dexterity modifier. The rogue can select a second weapon at 11th level and a third at 19th level.
Sharpclaw: Your nails are large and strong.
Prerequisite: Ratfolk.
Benefit: You gain two claw attacks. These are primary natural attacks that deal 1d4 points of damage.
Skymetal Affinity: Requirement(s) Numeria
You gain a +2 trait bonus on Fortitude saves against the negative effects of skymetals, as well as a +2 trait bonus on Craft checks made to create weapons or armor out of skymetals.
Skymetal Smith: The fires atop Torch Hill have long been a boon to smiths and metalworkers, and your family is no exception. Whether you grew up in Torch or simply made several trips here with your parents to use the fire, this was to be your first time to use the torch for your own project. You managed to use the fires to craft a small weapon or piece of armor from skymetal, but not long thereafter the fires went out. The violet flames are as much a part of your upbringing as anything else, and their loss distresses you; you hope to find a way to rekindle the torch below the hill. You’ve long hoped to work with skymetal, and begin the game with a small metal bauble made of the skymetal of your choice—you made this item yourself. The item is nothing more than a valuable art object worth 100 gp. You can sell it to gain an additional 100 gp when creating your character, but if you keep it, your pride in its crafting grants you a +2 trait bonus on Will saving throws made against emotion and fear effects. You lose this bonus if you willingly sell or give up the item, but if it is destroyed or lost through no fault of your own, you retain a +1 trait bonus on such Will saves.
Technologist: You are familiar with the basic mechanics of technology. Benefit: You are considered to be trained in any skill used against a technology-based subject. If the skill in question requires training to use even against non-technological subjects, you must still have ranks in that skill in order to
gain the benefit of Technologist.
Normal: You treat all skill checks made against technology
as if they were untrained skill checks. This may mean that you cannot attempt certain skill checks, even if you possess ranks in the skill in question.
Weapon Finesse: You are trained in using your agility in melee combat, as opposed to brute strength.
Benefit: With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Special: Natural weapons are considered light weapons.
Leather Armor (10gp)
Cold Iron Tail Blade (22gp)
Dagger (2gp)
Rogue's Kit (50gp)
Masterwork Artisan's Kit (Mechanical) (55gp)
No one is ever alone in Chitterhome. As the fifth daughter in her mother's second litter, Skikkikitikut was even less alone than most. Growing up, her life was a long series of cooking and washing and grooming interspersed with all-too-short periods of finding and sorting and fixing. But in those short intervals it became clear that she had a gift for tinkering. As often as she could, Skikkikitikut made her way down to Chitterhome's great picking room, where the traveling merchants dropped off the surplus treasures they returned with.
Skikkikitikut had a particular fondness for bits and pieces of metal -- whether identifiable parts or shiny colorful flakes. Give her enough detritus, and she could build something that would hold together, and sometimes actually function, though rarely in the fashion intended. Still, her talent was evident, and as she grew, other more experienced tinkerers took her under their paws, and taught her what they could. And she gnawed steadily at each kernel of knowledge they gave her, as thoroughly as she would a cob of corn.
But she yearned to do more, to see more. She had heard stories of a town called Torch, where purple flame rose to the sky, and all the smiths worked with the strange metals she had been collecting, but could never work with, no matter how hot she got the stove. So one day she left with the one of the merchants, not even saying goodbye, for fear of being talked out of it.
Torch was smaller and meaner than she expected, and none of the smiths lived up to the stories -- but the flame did. She spent her days doing whatever odd jobs she could, and spent her nights in one of the local "Ratholes." After a year, she finally earned her turn at the Torch, and in her first minute there she lost half her hoarded starmetal in its sudden liquification, but in the next half hour she was able to forge the rest into a pair of spiral inubrix earrings. Elated with her success, she remains in Torch, scavenging more materials, impatiently awaiting her next turn with the flame.
Lucky's wondering if he'll get lucky!
chatty halfling oracle of heavens. dabbling with combat reflexes and a long spear (weird but seemed like a good idea at the time!)
"Greetings small and squishy ones. I am Chotka. I live in the small hut 2 miles that way," the hulking orc points east of town. "I noticed the sky light turned off and wanted to know why. I liked the colors."
"My master, Khonnir Baine, has instructed me to go out and meet additional members of Torch. I do not understand the point of this lesson, but he said that 'No self respecting wizard can expect to excel at his craft all by himself, regardless of what fancy contraptions he may have.' I am not sure why I need them, but I am supposed to seek out 'friends'."
The man steps forward and stiffly extends his hand toward you, "Would you like to be my friend?"
Valen looks like a lot of fun!
I'm working on a Kellid soulknife (feral heart archetype). Natural attacks formed from her own pure mental energy sounds gorram perfect. Bit primitive, and she'll do nicely ripping robots apart with her bare hands!
My apologies. Circumstances have made it so that I am unlikely to be able to finish my application in time. I am therefore stepping down from recruitment.
Good luck to everyone!
Here is my submission. Aznive seems like a bit of an oddball between the androids and anti-tech barbarians, but might provide some interesting contrast in the party. Even though she's not native to Numeria, I made sure to provide plenty of motivation in her background.
Using roll20 require us to log at the same time and/or to use something similar to teamspeak? My spoken English is bad.Game Style
- We'll be using Roll20 for combat, so if accepted, please make an account.
There is no need to use voice chat on roll20. I don't think this group will be using it at all - I think GM Olmek intends simply to use it as a map.
Just waiting to see who our GM is going to pick for this now.

I kinda noticed you picked the same avatar as I did for your android druid character...
Not really complaining. Just thought it was kinda funny.

Sorry about that. I had forgotten you had the same avatar. I was trying to find an avatar that I liked and that was about the only one that looked good for my character. But yeah I just realized that too.
"I remember more of my past now, though I wish I did not. I had such plans for my people, but now they are nothing but ashes.
"Soon, friends, the time will come where I will taste revenge for my tribe, or we too will join my fallen brothers in Gorum's glorious army."
In b4 close.
Here's Threeshades's submission.
Too much else going on right now, not going to make the deadline. Enjoy!

Zoresk Totem-Caller is a strange breed. While he was born and raised among the White Bears tribe of the Felldales, he is drawn to the civilized reaches of his homeland. He was brought up to distrust technology, yet curiosity burns within him. And while his ability to manifest ghostly claws is seen by his Kellid peers as a blessing from the totemic creatures they worship, he suspects there is more to it - a secret perhaps held by the very things he was raised to destroy.
As soon as he was old enough, Zoresk was participating in the attacks his people led against the malfunctioning robots that aimlessly roamed the Felldales. While he had a good swing with a club, his skill lay in evading the clumsy blows of the enormous metal men, and he boasted that not one had hit him in twenty raids. It was only a matter of time before his pride got the better of him - he grew complacent, and when he was eighteen, a malfunctioning robot struck him across the face, breaking his nose and flinging him backward.
Through the blood and the pain, Zoresk felt only rage. He felt as if he were dreaming when he looked down at the wicked, curved claws that had formed over his hands, ghostly purple things that looked like the field of force surrounding his foe. And the roar that ripped from his throat as he charged sounded unlike his own voice.
When he came back to reality, the robot was rent in two, and the claws were dissipating, fading away in ghostly tendrils. His peers were surprised, hailing him as a totem-caller of the White Bears, but Zoresk knew better. Something had changed within him, and it wasn't spiritual.
While he accepted the new epithet and continued to lead attacks against the robots for a few more years, he became restless. He wanted answers, and he wasn't going to find them among his technophobic people. What if the robots weren't an enemy, but an opportunity to learn from? What if technology wasn't evil, but could be unlocked for power?
These were the answers that burned in his mind as he set out for the purple flames of Torch.
Zoresk is a tall, young Kellid man, heavily muscled and heavily armed. His skin is the swarthy tone typical of his people, and his thick black hair hangs lanky and unwashed at his back. His eyes are dark brown, almost black, his nose is prominently crooked from the break years ago, and his chest and arms are covered in scars from sharp slices of jagged metal. He wears filthy old hide armour, and carries a heavy, chipped shield on his arm.
He is a hearty young man, eager to learn, almost frighteningly so in his enthusiasm, as a Kellid barbarian wishing to learn of technology beyond 'how do I destroy it' is an uncommon sight. He has little patience for flowery words and fancy talk, preferring to strike quickly while his foe is unprepared. While he's a bit strange and unsettling, Zoresk is fiercely loyal to those who show him kindness, appreciating the rarity of such things in a harsh world.
EDIT: going to leave it at one submission. This flu is kicking my ass too much to let me focus much longer.

Thanks to all those that submitted! I'll parse through all of this information and ideally have my submissions up by Monday evening at the latest. :) Those selected will be notified via PM.
Alrighty then...
Thank you again for this opportunity and I had a lot of fun designing these characters. I'm now going to cross my fingers and toes.
Good luck, everyone! Having looked through the entries myself, we've all got some tough competition ahead of us to get in. And of course, congrats to whomever ends up winning.
Good luck all. As usual, there are a lot of great concepts to chose from!
Good luck! There are many amazing characters here!
