She woke up in darkness amidst confusion and a strange feeling of loss. Her first sensation was of being restrained, it felt like she was bound in something soft and yielding, yet tough. She struggled against her restraints and suddenly sensed something else in her mind. She knew that the other was in distress and the feeling overwhelmed her triggering a wave of nausea.
The other was likewise confused. She didn’t know how she knew this.
As her sight slowly came back it was all wrong, she had no control over where she was looking. It was as if she was looking through someone else’s eyes. The sight dropped to her hands but though she could feel them it was like another force controlled them. She struggled again to to gain control. Her hands clutched her head as a wave of nausea once again overcame the other, and again she felt that distress as if it was her own.
The other knew she was there. “Who are you?” it asked. The question wasn’t verbal, she simply knew what the other was thinking. The question, however, posed a conundrum. She cast back in her memories. She remembered fragments and hazy recollections of quiet, peaceful places. Lonely places, but she couldn’t bring them into focus. She did realize however that these memories weren’t her own. They were memories from someone else, maybe even multiple other people. As for her own memories she couldn’t conjure up even a vague recollection.
“I….” she trailed off immediately. There was something wrong with the way that sounded, even in her mind. It felt incorrect, but she didn’t know why. The other likewise realized that it sounded wrong. “I… don’t know”.
The other was also lost, unable to remember anything of their past. Despite her confusion, she remained emotionless, however the other was experiencing a rising panic. “Where are we” the other thought as they started to look around, but immediately stopped. They both realized at the same moment that that sounded right, it felt right.
“Who are we?” With that though she began to feel her mind mingle with the other. She felt the chaotic mess of emotions seep into her awareness and all the good and bad that came with them. At the same time the other’s mind was opened up to the vastness of void, and all the beauty and terror that came with it. They both knew that they had done this before, and they both knew that she wasn’t always able to adjust to the idea of emotions while the other’s mind would sometimes rebel against knowledge it wasn’t able to comprehend, but together they endured, had endured since they were born together.
She felt her thoughts merging with the other. A smile crept across their face and they whispered out loud “We are Mashiki”. There was no longer strictly her and the other. Mashiki touched her lip where it ached. She was bleeding, the drop of black blood seeming to quiver of its own accord for the briefest of moments before lying still. She couldn’t live outside of Her and She couldn’t live without Her inside, and that made perfect sense.
Mashiki looked at her forearm for a few moments, watching the faint grey veins ever so slowly writhe beneath her skin. She smiled again, it felt good to be together again, but now to the matter at hand. Where were they?
I would like a chance to throw my hat in the ring. I tried running this AP months ago and only got past the very, very beginning...
I'll try to have a build done before the post edit window expires. If not there will be a double-up post. Sorry :/
I present Oscar Whitehall, an Occultist I built to be ranged combat-focused instead of melee, since it looks like there's always a need for a guy with some range! :)
Oscar's history is lost due to amnesia, but he was true neutral before this and was the kind of person who held onto his implements due to sentimental reasons.
Oscar is an average weight man with brown hair that is prematurely streaked with gray. He has a narrow chin and small nose, with jade green eyes that have flecks of gold in them.

Throwing my hat in the ring with Ephiril the collector Occultist and party support
Ladies and gents and anyone dotting the game:
A position has become available for anyone who wishes to play. Looking for a spiritualist or any other class that has some support and/or debuff combat utilities. The party lacks wisdom-focused characters, if that influences what you make.
Here is my submission: Mara bint al-Katheeri, a Half-Orc Heavens Shaman (Speaker for the Past archetype). She is a support and utility, wisdom-based, divine caster, with a full range of healing spells. She will specialize in party buffing.

Silas was born the son of landed nobility in the nation of Cheliax, where the ruling class makes deals with devils to maintain their power.. Silas, being a good person, used his power to help those who he could, eventually joining the Bellflower network. It was during his time with the network that he came to realize that he was too exposed to magical divination, and with the help of one of their more eclectic members, learned to mask his identity even from the most potent magics. During this time, he also learned to wield his innate magic power as a lethal energy weapon, summoning bolts of electricity that proved useful when opposing the infernal threat that (as he sees it) plagues his land.
Here is Von-Dai Cress, a human Psychic with the Lore Discipline. Not quite Wisdom-focused, but he does use it.
For what it's worth, if you're interested, I can make maps with a fog layer that gets erased as the party explores. Here's an example.
Edit: Mara is adapted from my character in a face-to-face Iron Gods campaign, so no, I didn't write up the background in a couple of hours.

Life as a teenager was hard. The other kids liked to throw clods of dirt and rocks at her from a distance. Of course Del couldn't see who was doing the throwing. That’s has made her mistrustful of most people her age.

I think instead of a shaman I will apply with a witch.
Inspired by Euron Holmes, a highly intelligent woman intuitivly manipulating people as done via curses
This is Helikons application.
A witch (Insanity Patron) with rat familiar.
She brings from the beginning major debuffing power and some fantastic Knowledge skills to the table.
Mark Seifter clarified that Comprehensive Education is meant to give +1 to each Knowledge skill that you already get as a class skill, not +1 times the number of Knowledge class skills you have.
So Zephyros would have a +1 racial bonus to those skills, not +4.

Would you consider some third party materials? Dreamscarred Press recently released the Malefex,which somewhat fills the role of a wisdom based, hexblade-y combatant, with a heavy focus on debuffing. I'd especially like to play a Hexbreather, (Also from Dreamscarred Press,from their Bloodforge supplement) which is a cross between an Orc and a Hag, and I can help provide any information about either that you require. In the meantime, I will both get started thinking about this character idea, as alternative, though this is definitely my go-to.
Edit: I've got a definite idea for where a Hexbreather would come frim and/or why a Hexbreather could be waking up in the asylum, but I could very easily play a more common race.
Edit2: While the class has some supernatural elements,I should clarify that the class has no casting, manifesting, initiating, or anything else like that.
Dot - will take a look at the warpriest class.
I could also go Monk/Zen Archer... Do you have a preference?
Of the two, probably a warpriest would be more helpful.
Also, not interested in 3rd party material at this time!
Dang, that's a real shame. I'll try and figure something else out!

Well, then her knowledge skills are not that fantastic. But still very very good ;-)
Would you be okay with a character using aging rules (I'm building a middle-aged human)?
I have not reviewed them. You can design your character, I will look at them!
Here's Kynrefael - I tried to keep it short, since you have a lot to go through. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to change or elaborate on.
I have a herald caller cleric I'd like to submit for this, Milton McMurray
I'm going to close recruitment tomorrow,Friday the 7th, and post my pick! I will private message that person with details. Thanks for all the submissions!
After some serious thought, I have decided to invite Mara bint so-Katheeri to join the campaign! Thank you all for your submissions, that was a hard decision. Mara, please post something OOC to dot yourself into the gameplay thread. I am going to write you in fairly soon, I will memo you the details fairly soon.
