In a distant land polluted by an alien menace from beyond the stars, a great cancer grows within the earth. As its tendrils reach out through the dreams of those who learn and study its existence, a sinister cult grows more active in preparing the way for a devastation that will destroy more than the minds of would-be heroes. Can the adventures reclaim lost memories in time to stop the advance of a cataclysmic contagion that could threaten all of Golarion? Can they resist the mind-shattering truths revealed by the Yellow Sign, and the monstrous force it symbolizes?
Welcome, one and all, to what will likely be the last PbP I start, this time converting the Cthulhu-inspired horror Pathfinder Adventure Path, Strange Aeons. If you are interested in joining, apply here with the following:
Character Race: (PHB only) Character Class: (PHB, XGE, TCE only) Ability Scores: (standard array or point buy) Physical Description: Nickname: (what others can call you) Trinket: (something that might serve as a clue to who you are)
You may notice I don't ask for names or backstories. There's a good reason for that: you start this campaign with no memories! Who you are is a total mystery to even yourself. I will come up with names and backstories for each of the characters, and they will be made available if and when you recover your memories. For now, come up with a nickname you can have others call you.
Starting level is 1, standard starting equipment, milestone advancement, minimum of one post per day appreciated. I'll be picking based on who I think will be a consistent poster.

Well, you could ask DMWoja and see if he is done accepting characters, and if not then submit yours, it may not be too late.
