Hi everyone! I'm looking to get a replacement player after the last one disappeared. The player who disappeared was a divine caster, so submiteed alpplicatns should be divine casters.

Founded by a famous dragonslayer, the small town of Belhaim has become a sleepy rural community just off the beaten path, a settlement where everyone knows everyone and strangers are the talk of the town. But when Belhaim’s peace and quiet is shattered by the sudden collapse of the last standing tower of its founder’s castle, things quickly bloom out of control. Why were there bodies of kobolds amid the rubble? What’s the sinister secret behind the strange sounds of flapping wings in the night? And what’s happened to local wizard Balthus Hunclay, who’s not answering knocks on his door? The collapsed tower had long been an eyesore to the cantankerous old man—could he have had something to do with its destruction? And what of the rumors of strange stirrings in nearby Dragonfen? Has Belhaim’s ancient draconic nemesis returned?
Starting level 1, you will go to 7 by the end of the module.
20 point buy or 4d6 drop lowest. If you do not like your rolls use 15 point buy.
Any Paizo Class, but you must use the unchained version if there is one, except for monks, who may use either.
Preferably Core races although you may play something in the featured races of the ARG (This will likely decrease your chances of getting in, as I will take 1 or 0)
Average gold for your class or roll.
Third party options are on a case by case basis.

Hired as caravan guards by a man named Silas Gribb, you traveled to the small town of Belhaim. Upon arrival Gribb was arrested for smuggling, and was unable to pay you. You obviously had no knowledge of Gribb's illegal activities, but were left stranded in Belhaim. Talia Orem, proprietor of the Wise Piper inn, takes pity on you and offers free room and board for a few nights. It is evening as you sit in the common room of the Wise Piper Inn.
I'm at work but when I'm off later tonight I'll consider a gnome oracle. What about alternate racial traits? I'm fine with standard but I was curious.
I'm curious. You've only got 3 players in this game? Really? I think I signed up for this game and I could've sworn you took more people than that. (That is, if I'm thinking of the right game)
I did take 4 players, and then one person disappeared basically as soon as we started. :(
Alright, I'm off work, but instead of a gnome oracle, I think a dwarf inquisitor would be better. Would that work?
I've got a concept for a Dhampir Life Oracle that I have enjoyed playing. Here is her background. I'll get the crunch up ASAP.
Kinvara Doone is a tall thin woman. She could be described as youthful and beautiful if it weren’t for the pustulant sores scattered about her skin. Each patch of sores connected to others by enlarged veins, the raised dark lines standing out in stark contrast to her pale skin. In some sections her skin has nearly completely rotted away, showing the discolored bone and muscle below. This is especially true of her hands where most healing energies are focused. She tends to keep her cloak hood up and leans on her spear.
She speaks about how Pharasma has granted her the ability to heal others, but not herself, as punishment for her parent’s failings. Whenever she channels positive energy, to heal another or harm some undead, her hands burn and her muscles cramp. Healing is a painful endeavor, but she still feels that it is what Pharasma demands of her ... why Pharasma forces this “gift” upon her. One day she hopes to be able to heal herself of Pharasma's curse.
Twenty five years ago a mysterious woman appeared at a Pharasmite temple in Shenmen requesting sanctuary. She claimed to have escaped captivity in Yin-Sichasi. When it was revealed that she was pregnant and that the father may have been a vampire Lord, the clergy smuggled her to the temple in New Oppara in Amanandar. The Pharasmite temple there would be more able to provide the necessary rituals and incantations to limit the undead taint upon the child. After a hard labor, the child was born. The mysterious woman died soon after childbirth her last act was giving a name to her daughter. This was the way Kinvara Doone was brought into the world.
Kinvara was always a very sickly child. Weak and frail she never had much use for physical activities. She was always able to convince some other person to perform any physical labor that was requested of her. Her body continued to weaken and eventually sores started to appear on her skin. At about this time, she also started showing a certain affinity for healing. Some clergy thought that she might have been destined to be a prophetess, but Pharasma’s control of prophecy had become flawed. Some healers think that attempting to force healing energies through her half-undead body may be the source of her disfigurements.
As her skills grew, Kinvara’s training became focused, though she was always in pain when she performed healing. Eventually she decided to travel to Avistan in an attempt to find someone who could provide answers or a way to heal without pain. Her travels have brought her to Oppara where, running short on cash, she signed on to assist the caravan guards.
Kool Kobold: Either one works, alt. race traits are fine.
I need to equip him, but here's a healer.
Dotting for interest.
Here's Goyarg, the dwarf inquisitor of Shelyn. I have to go to a meeting later, but I'll be able to finish up the statistics later today.
Also, is there a restriction on alternate racial traits? I don't wanna get too crazy with them, but if you just want me to select one that'll be fine.
Working on my character now. Think I'm going to try for the rolls.
Oh nice, I think I'll go with those.
My finished submission. If it's alright I'll wait on making an alias if I'm chosen.

In point of fact no one understood how Grandma Ruth had outlived her husband and daughter reaching an age of over one hundred years. It was a simple answer really, but no one would ask so Ruth kept it to herself. If they had listened to her and asked the right questions Darcia’s life would have been very different. As she reached her early teens Grandma Ruth became her favorite person, even over her parents she felt a strong connection to the old woman and spent a lot of time listening to the stories Ruth told. The stories were about the elderly woman’s younger years when she traveled the land and sought fame and fortune. There were also stories about her ancestors including one who had lived over three hundred years ago and was, according to Grandma Ruth, an actual Brass Dragon who went by the name Sandislerous.
It was said that Sandi fell in love with a human man and hatched an egg by him. When the hatchling was old enough to survive alone, and after her love’s death from old age, the child was given to her aunt and uncle who raised her. For the next few generations the children were, effectively, half-dragons but when it came to Great Grandma Ruth the bloodline had begun skipping generations. It hadn’t appeared since Grandma Ruth until Darcia came of age. As the curse came upon her Ruth aided the young and scared Darcia in learning to control and harness her newfound powers as an oracle and the girl proved an apt student with a great deal of potential quickly manifesting two different revelations in very short order.
Darcia, having been spoiled, became victim to what was sometimes called the curse of the dragon. This curse resulted in extreme covetousness of all things shiny and sparkly, and if a member of the family was spoiled from a young enough age they would fall under it’s sway as an adult. As she reached her fourteenth birthday Darcia had become very sociable and was always the life of any party she went to. It wasn’t until she began to steal, or try anyway, that her parents finally listened to Granny’s warnings. Darcia got caught stealing from one of the wealthiest, and most dangerous, families in northern Qadira and was nearly killed before she found out how true Granny’s stories really were. As she was about to be killed a brass dragon swooped in and freed her, driving back the guards who were going to kill her long enough for Darcia to flee. The last thing Darcia saw was her beloved Grandmother being cut down as her powers faded and the draconic form she had taken failed her.
Darcia fled into the night and eventually made her way to a road where she came across a caravan. She never returned home as she couldn’t face her family after what she had caused to happen by her greed. Eventually Darcia made her way out of Qadira and eventually north into Taldor. With little left to her name Darcia made her way, at first, to Oppara where she eventually found refuge in the temple of Shelyn. While she stayed there for a few months she found it was ultimately too…nice for her tastes and eventually moved on. After a few years of getting by on odd jobs she became old enough to begin practicing other methods of making money. She eventually found her way to the local Calistrian temple and found her way into service as a sacred courtesan and a dancer for their more…adult shows. She found that her looks let her make very good money and that she got to have plenty of pretty things all her own.
When she turned nineteen she ran into trouble yet again. Darcia had begun taking on some private commissions with various wealthy individuals and ended up getting in over her head. The temple hid her for a short time but weren’t able to deal with the threat to her quickly or easily and so they told her to flee town. Having time bought for her Darcia quickly made her way out of Oppara and out on the road once more. She had only been in the town of Belhaim a short time when the problems began, ones not of her own making this time, and Darcia found herself quickly drawn into the trouble.
I unfortunately will have to withdraw my dot. Divine casters have never been my greatest forte, and there are others who could do better than me.
Thanks everyone for their time and effort! Because I got a lot of interest quickly, I'm going to make a selection now:
Xylas Foundling, half-elf cleric of Erastil.
Thanks again for time and effort. :)
Congrats to ya Xylas.
And thank you. On my way!
