Recruitment: Reciprocal Duo Campaigns

[The Hall]

My partner and I have been wanting to play a specific campaign geared for the two of us, but neither wish to actually spoil the fun and run the thing. In browsing the forums here I found that people actually run solo/duo games - perfect!

It seems only fair that, in exchange for asking someone to run us through what we'd like, I do similar. So I'm looking for a team of two players - please apply together, and have shared goals/backgrounds, complementary mechanics, and the like; bring a friend, or find one here in the thread. I have six choices available for your campaign, please select one of the following as you apply.

Campaign Choices:

1) The Emerald Spire superdungeon
2) Any pre-made Adventure Path, except Kingmaker - if you're interested in a Kingmaker-style game, see this interest check and the eventual recruitment following.
3) An urban intrigue campaign. Set in any major city (preferably one with published details, but I'm willing to make it up given enough time to prepare a detailed map), you'd deal with various political plots while largely sandboxing around.
4) BBEG Dragon/Lich that's been 19th level since the beginning of the campaign and troubles you and the region while you work tirelessly to stop the domination plot. A rather classic theme, but I have a few fun twists.
5) Planet-hopping mystery where various clues to some grand design lead you across the stars and eventually through time - the big hook here is you'll get to witness (my interpretation of) the death of Aroden.
6) Dealer's choice - Pick your own thing to do, and I'll design it for you. This option will take the longest to get started, as I probably don't already have what you want lined out, and will also probably require two people who already know each other to avoid conflicts of interest - as in, one's interested in X while the other's interested in Y. For this option, I'd need a very compelling team presentation from applicants, much more than the others.

Next, one of you would have to be willing to run a game for us. We are willing to do trio with the other player, provided they're okay with being "along for the ride," so to speak, as we've had plenty of time to discuss things we'd like to do outside of the screen.

Our Campaign:

We want to be native outsiders (humans probably, or another race that wouldn't be an outsider on the Material Plane) on the plane of Bytopia from D&D, with some gimmick to regularly travel to the demiplane of Union (from the Epic Level Handbook - any planar metropolis emphasizing trade that's open to all races works just as well); we'll hunt the big game animals of Shurrock and sell them in Union, eventually building a Citadel of the Planes ala Stronghold Builder's Guidebook and killing things on other planes, too. We'd prefer the Great Wheel cosmology to Pathfinder's, but otherwise we'd rather have the Pathfinder deities and other lore - don't really plan on poaching from the gods, but you can make us do something like that, just move the PF ones into the appropriate spot. Random quests for items (the Ruby of Splendor from the lair of a genie, because that's what we need to get the armor we want crafted) and the like are especially welcome, but our goal as an in-universe team is to hunt progressively larger creatures just for the challenge - and the loot.

Time to generate your characters. As we want very specific things, you should have the same opportunities.

Mechanics:

Starting Level: 5 - Mythic Tier 1

Wealth: 21,000 GP - no more than a +2 bonus on weapons/armor, no single item other than a weapon/armor worth more than 8,000 GP. Basically, if you couldn't normally buy it at 5th level, you can't buy it now - just want you to spread it around more.

Alignment: Any - you can even kill each other if that's what you want.

Races: Any Paizo, just make it fit.

Classes: Any Paizo. Tri-stalt, like Gestalt but with three classes. One Mythic path. VMC is okay. Chained or Unchained, talk to me about archetypes that should work. Likewise stacking archetypes that should be allowed (i.e. one gives you additional options for a class feature and one replaces it, but RAW you can't have both) are probably okay, too - just ask.

30 Point Buy, minimum 7 after racial modifiers.

Feats: Any Paizo - including Sacred Geometry and the other hated ones. Feat tax fixes are in place.

Three traits from different categories, no Drawbacks. Background skills and background occupations, without the extra gold, are also being used.

Limited 3PP: No classes, races, or major system changes. Small things, like animal companions, single spells, or equipment are likely fine - again, just ask.

I'm not putting any limitations on your backgrounds, but that is the primary quality of selection - beyond your willingness to run the campaign for us, that is. The character options available are, frankly, ridiculous, making your builds utterly irrelevant to my decision. I am primarily interested in the team dynamic your shared background brings - I want to feel the connection between the two characters, more than I am interested in seeing what they've done.

I lied; I have one requirement - each of you must have your own background. Even if you apply as siblings, you are two people with two characters, and I want two approaches to, and views of, your shared history and experiences. Especially if you have not been together for your entire lives - the precursor to your team is also important.

Recruitment will stay up for at least two weeks - I don't know how interested people will be in this, but if it's great I'll extend the time to allow people to work on ideas.

If I've missed something, please point it out. Thanks for your interest!
