Hello! Hi! Hey there!
I met these really cool folks in a recruitment thread and thought we'd make a killer team even though that GM decided to go another way, so I thought why not make a team and find a GM that doesn't want to go through the pains of recruitment in these shark infested waters!?
Thus far we have confirmed a Swashbuckler, a Dervish Bard, and an Oracle.
Those are each links to our profiles. I'll include the fourth once he confirms or I find another, but players this is NOT A CHARACTER RECRUITMENT. The new GM may want to recruit one more, but NOT YET.
Felicia is crazy. Crazy fast, crazy hot, and crazy crazy. I'm pretty good at building Swashbucklers, as they are my favorite class. It has been sad that all the campaigns she got in to have died from flaky GM's or weird circumstance. She's taking advantage of a newer archetype, the Falcata Swashbuckler, and I'm excited to see how it works out.
You should take note that I've customized her as half Catfolk. The race specifics are in the profile, and the only weird thing is her magical scent that came from her kitty dad and her sorceress mom. If it's necessary I can make her full catfolk or full human if the GM we choose is heavily against custom things.
Finally, full disclosure, I am GM'ing this game in meatspace. It shouldn't affect my gameplay or character knowledge, but I wanted you to know xD
I'll announce a cutoff date once the whole party has chimed in and such. Good Luck!

I should mention that I only say captained in the sense that I put the team together, I expect nothing once we have a GM.
Anyway, if some of you GM types are looking at us, here is what we need from you! Answer these few things and we'll make a call soon!
Posting habits
Starting with the obvious, it would be nice to know that you can post as often as we can, as we are all fairly consistent. Also please include some semblance of your botting policy, so we know what to expect when things happen irl.
Build requirements
As we are not an existing game party, we haven't solidified our build yet. How would you like it done? Don't feel pressured to do something kooky, but we'd like to know :)
House Rules
List any optional systems or House Rules you prefer to use.
GM Style/extras
Do you have a specific style when you GM? Are you forgiving or ruthless? Are you comical or dark? Do you go off book for certain things or do you stick to the letter of the content?
Resumé (optional)
If you have GM'ed before, we'd like to take a look. It'd be nice to have a link or two to games you've done.
I think that'll do it, but the others may chime in.

First: I have the whole series, but I will be a busy man in the summer, thus you may have to replace me, or you may not, I'll see when it comes around and let you know.
Posting habits: often. Though there were games I was sick or under stress and I did not post often. I had overwhelmed myself, but learned to limit the games I was in.
Build requirements. Build your character as if you were following PFS rules. I will allow any core or featured races, except Orc and Drow since they are discriminated against as evil.
House Rules: Technically speaking none, or very small. I do allow creative solutions just like PFS allows and don't punish for creative solutions. Like if you have to disable a trap, but you cannot get high enough on the disable device, you can disable it if your descriptive writing makes sense. If the only way to get magic item X is to kill opponent X, you still get it if you resolved the solution with diplomacy or made him fall into a volcano where you would not be able to recover the item. Experience will not be tracked, but you will be a level behind or ahead if you do better or worse than average, find all the traps, kill all the enemies, do all the secret missions. Your level will be in par with PFS. If book 2 says your level is anywhere from 4 to 6, you will be anywhere within that range in the PFS portion of that book, since whole books are not played in PFS but only portions. Then say book 3 says level 9 to 11 for PFS, any part past the PFS portion of book 2 means you can be levels 7 or 8, etc.
GM style: My style has changed over the years. I try not to mess with the difficulty of the game, if three of you are fighting, tough luck and if seven of you are fighting and it makes combat much easier, then good you have the advantage. I do mess with the difficulty if the book says 2d4 skeletons pop out and I send out as many as I think would be fair. When the book does not have a map for the encounter, I'll make up the scenery a bit. If you want maps, I can use google Docs, if it ain't important to you, I can use theatre of the mind. I take rule read as written and really read into it, so that it makes sense. It it says it takes 1 hour to dig that up with a shovel and everyone is using a shovel, I'll be like it said a shovel and more than one was used.
Resume: My style has changed, so looking at it might not help you that much, not to mention I've been sick in the 2016 year affecting my ability to DM wl. I'm recently Dming Mummy's Mask book 1 for PFS, which would be my most accurate version.
The Catch: I want a module DMed for me in return, don't care what it is, just want a module Dmed for me.

Hell I'll throw my own hat in the ring, just to give some options!
Posting habits
I should be able to post each day, but I don't really apologize or expect apologies for a single day or so where you just can't get on. Understand that as a gm sometimes it can be difficult because I need to get to my material so I can't just post from my phone. If I have an extended absence, like getting into police academy, I will try to get a friend to interim GM.
When I bot players (After 24 hrs) usually I just roll safe attacks or have them be distracted by some comical non story thing.
Build requirements
I am partial to a 20 pt buy, standard build. Custom material needs to be discussed with me, and I'm actually more accepting of player created than 3pp.
House Rules/ optional systems
I'm not married to any one system. I could take it or leave it, but wouldn't mind test driving one during an encounter or two.
I do have several house rules that come up, but essentially they are just things that make sense. For instance each character gets a "Personal lore" To know things that she should know.
This roll is equal to level + Highest Mental Mod + class skill + Knowledge modifiers + Situational bonus
Personal lore can be a knowledge or profession check based on things the character should already know how to do or know all about.
Most players seem to enjoy my thought process.
GM Style/extras
I tend to be a more forgiving and comical GM. I can get serious when need be, but I prefer to keep the mood light. I will kill characters though. You'll see custom NPC's and some homebrewed content here and there but I'm careful to respect the flow of the content.
My characters may swear and my battle animations get graphic at times, but I'll tone down if asked lol.
Resumé (optional)
Sorry, This is my first serious go at pbp running so no links. Maybe I will video one of my Roll20 sessions eventually xD
That said, I do like roll20 and would prefer to use it as I already have the maps loaded in.
The catch: You have to put up with my cat in game.
Also, I am Space Duck. Fear me. Quack

Man I was really hoping to see more than this, at least those dots to finish filling out
Don't lose hope, DMs are just gonna run what they want to run. There seems to have been a sudden interest lately in revolutionary movements against tyrannical governments, can't imagine why...

Posting habits
As much as possible. Several times a day, unless unable.
Build requirements
In this case, whatever you used. I would only confirm all the characters were made with the same characteristics, and we are done.
House Rules
In this case, whatever house rules you used. If you ask me, none.
GM Style/extras
I think I am a descriptive GM, and then towards railroading many times. I am forgiving, and try to be balanced between dark and comical. I tend to go off the book.

Sorry, life has been crazy - I'm busy at work, and I'm finalizing a move that happens at the end of February. Submitted for your approval...
Posting habits
I'm slow on the weekends, but fairly active during the week. I'd shoot for daily posts and would inform you if something would preclude me from posting - and would expect the same from my players.
Build requirements
I'm most comfortable in a 20 point buy, and I'm open to most first party Paizo materials, though unusually wacky options (such as Sacred Geometry) will need approval.
House rules
I don't use a whole lot, probably the most notable is one I stole from James Jacobs - breath of life has been renamed cure deadly wounds, so clerics can spontaneously cast it.
GM Style/extras
My GMing style - firm but fair. I want the PCs to succeed, but at the same time, players do not want to be handed victory. Success feels best when it is perceived to have been earned. I don't like killing PCs, but should a nasty crit happen, such is life. I can alter my tone depending on the mood of the story - an encounter with capricious fey could be whimsical, while an encounter with a ravenous horde of demons would be horrific. I try to stay close to the book for the story, but embellish things that would interest the players/characters. After all, you want to say that you experienced the path Paizo built, but you also want the experience to be customized for you, so there will be alterations, based on your own histories.
Resume
This is probably my best work on the boards.

Congrats Misroi, you seem to be the best fit for our little ragtag band and we look forward to playing with you!
Everyone else, thanks for your submissions, you made it a tough choice. I heavily suggest looking again at the other applicants for ended AP recruitments as there are a lot of great potential parties.
