I chose and posted that I had a lion demon, a tedojiza, first. 
I'll just make sure the thematics for the new lion demon are different enough. Also love the backstory Coyotekin.
Also, I'm just about done getting my prep work done and just wondering how sandbox-y you guys would prefer the game to be. you'll be assigned to work together for the first mission to get things started, but after that I'm fairly open. How firm a hand do you guys want on the rudder here?

This is a character who ultimately plans to reteach Creation how to live, and how to live better throuhg the Yozis. This also means a big focus on subverting the Yozi cults to get them all on the same page for the most part. He already took over his original cult.....

I'm quite a very unhappy person. I generally get backgrounds out between 2-7 days... I'm going on the more than that... But sigh I think the block is weakening so I'm sure, not positive, a background will be on the unfinished sheet soon ^^

Ok, proposed demon from the "family" of Malfeas to be my Slayer's Coadjuvator:
If that is okay and thematically different enough from the other demon, I just have a couple artifacts for you to look at before posting my character. Oh! Also, are you ok with the Oathbound flaw? This particular one would be a moderate oath to fulfill a service for Ligier each Season (less frequent than the text of that flaw implies, but also quite more potential for danger)I said:

Just need to finish with details typed in, but otherwise the character is done.

Actually, I'd like to reword that oath. I'm trying to conserve a bit of XP for something else, so I'll make it a Major oath.
The source of the oath is:
Aslam wants some really powerful weapons to take his vengeance to the corrupt Gods and fulfill his Crusade of domination imposed by the Endless Desert. That is something he can't do by Himself. So he goes to Ligier, well known as one of the greatest artifices in existence, and asks him to make him some freaking awesome guns (each of the two is a 5-dot artifact).
Of course, the Peer knows that, by the law of Cecelyne, it is not his place to demand anything of an Unquestionable, so he makes a deal - for these weapons, he would offer Ligier the one thing Aslam has that the Green Sun lacks - Access to Creation!
So the oath would be a major oath to "Work towards Ligier's plans in Creation". The five points of the oath would cover one dot of each artifact gun (they become less powerful if he breaks his oath), One dot of Backing by Malfeas (betraying someone's Heart tends to make them less trusting of you) and a 2-dot Infernal Manse that, as part of the deal, he officially gave to Ligier, so that the demon lets him "Borrow" the hearthstone, but could make it stop working if the oath is broken.
I believe it is not overwhelming enough to be a legendary oath - he can't work against any of Ligier's plans that take action in Creation and will have to take his orders or accept mission from him with a certain frequency, but "Work towards someone's goals" is vague enough to leave some breathing room to poor Aslam
...dealing with Motivation, Urge and Oath while developing those crazy Infernal Charms is certainly gonna make him one fucked-up guy, though

Hmm...I have not played much in sandbox-y scenarios (well, I ST most of the time, so I haven't played much in any scenarios, but sandbox-style games are even rarer), but I'd say their biggest trouble is for the ST to wing a lot of stuff as we go. However, a PbP game makes that much easier - more time to react - so I'd like the opportunity to go for a quite loose hand in guiding the game. Our characters seem to have some different goals and it should be interesting to see where that leadsTheDude said:
On the other hand, I usually like things well structured and at some point I miss well defined goals...
So, if everybody agrees, I'd say to let we run wild for a while and, when our characters finally start to accomplish bigger stuff, then step in and focus the story better. Of course, depending on how the individual goals of each character start to develop, we may not need this.
But I still want an to burn the sun
(or I could settle for crashing the Daystar against both the Five-Metal Shrike and Final Maesltrom at the same time!)

Sorry for the delay so far. End of year has been unusually busy with studies/work/training, plus there were a few days I couldn't access these forums for some reason. I'm just getting done on a few details for refitting the background into Slayerdom, but it should be finished by tomorrow (December 4 in my time zone). I'm also not completely sure about my artifacts, but I'll post the version I have so far along with the background tomorrow to see if it needs adjustments.
The rest of the sheet is pretty much done, though, so once I get those, I'll be ready to go.

New Background. Few changes, but I added some details to make the timeline clearer and explain some things in my sheet
Name: Aslan Hamza
Motivation: To be stronger than the gods and punish them for their sins
urge (cecelyne): To take control of the Lap
Unwoven Coadjuvator: Aryeh, one of the Eriniseos
Appearance: a handsome, thin but athletic young adult, his skin turned black as basalt and with a hair similar to a lion's mane, except for the green color, same as his eyes. His fingernails and teeth have a very subtle silver sheen. He wears the clothes of a sultan of his tribe, but also some adornments used by priests and those of a warlord.
backstory:
Aslan Hamza was born in one of the many nomad tribes of the south, as the son of their sultan. As the first son, he was to inherit command of the tribe.
Given this fact, much consternation came from the fact that the boy was of weak and frail constitution - but it would fade in time.
Despite somewhat frequent illness and low tolerance to the strong heat, the boy had remarkable qualities: an incredible agility and coordination along with great talent with the flame weapons and a excellent grasp of strategy proved he could be a warrior. Aslam was also a true leader, capable of inspiring hearts with ease, and good rider as well. Practice of ancient fighting arts allowed him to become more resilient and capable of enduring the harsh deserts of the South, as well as making the young man such a great unarmed warrior as he was with a flamepiece. Considered a good heir by his father, he presented him with a treasure of the tribe: a pair of Plasma Tongue Repeaters - artifacts that mortals could use and put ordinary flamepieces to shame. Aslan learned the process of making the alchemical fuel for the weapon and had success in many a skirmish using them.
Most of these conflicts came from the fact that the Hamza clan's tribe lived roaming a small region, constantly fighting other tribes for what little resources there were in the desert. To those ends, they directed their worship to a god named Flaming Horns - a distant cousin of the southern god of war, Ahlat.
One day, Aslan had a sudden idea for a plan to get a rival tribe by surprise and, as they were spending the night near Flaming Horn's sanctum, he went there to ask for the god's blessing. Then and there, the veil over his eyes was ripped as he overheard the god talking to a messenger from another tribe about a hidden oasis and, as that messenger left, heard the god musing about prayers and keeping the many small wars as demanded by Ahlat - about how he was about to acquire a better position for himself by playing human tribes against one another! The god's habit of speaking to himself in Flametongue instead of Old Realm went bad for him...
At all that, Aslan was filled with rage at the manipulations his people suffered. Repeaters in hand, he went to confront the god but...how could he? what chance had a mortal against a god? he could rally the entire tribe and he would either kill them all or vanish in the air. Too strong he was.
Aslan stepped back and run into the night, away from the god, the tribe and his own weakness.
After exhausting himself, he lay to wait for the sun and likely death, but instead was greeted by the sight of a strange, terrifying and magnificent beast, similar to a lion made made of black stone, it's mane a blaze of green flames, eyes seething with hatred. This being talked to him, identifying itself as Aryeh. The creature had an offer. At that, it's flames raged high and it's voice changed to that of something yet more terrible, something imperious and powerful. Something full of rage.
This vast voice said that the gods betrayed others before, their own fathers and mothers. It said of their corruption. But most of all the voice spoke of revenge and the power to fulfill it. Aslan accepted that offer and, in an instant, Aryeh's mouth grew tenfold and swallowed him whole, becoming his Chrysalis Grotesque.
Later he was found by cultists and taken to Malfeas.
In the Dojos of Hell he honed his fighting abilities with a martial art that allowed him to apply his ability with hand to hand combat and mostly his Repeaters, and he developed powers of the Creators of the World.
In about a year, finished his training, Aslan used his new powers to slay the small, petty, weak Flaming Horns and any of his tribe who believed his lies. The god's horns were ripped from his body as it dissolved into essence. These and his repeaters he offered to Ligier, to whom the Slayer made an oath in trade of new weapons, powerful artifacts to take his revenge with.
Later, he took a few capable members from the remains of his tribe and took battle to the hidden oasis Burning Horns had talked about, dominating the rare Water manse that was in the location. Now he plans to use it as a base of operations in Creation to build an army-cult that will start him on his path to tear apart Heaven itself in revenge and conquest.
Now, I just have one more question: How are the uncleaned memories of a GSP gonna be played? How much I know of the First Age without Savant or Past Life? I ask because I wanna know if Aslan has any idea why he now wants to dominate the Lap (that is: do I know that the giant statue could possibly change just about the entire South to a vitriolic, Malfeas-like geomancy?)
