Was considering taking one or more of those options, but I haven't decided yet.
Jemal, do you have any intended level range for this campaign to span?

Myth - According to Arms & Equipment, a standard or banner costs 30GP+ and gives a +2 circumstance bonus to be seen from a distance. I think I'll use that. So, if you want a bit more elaborate banner feel free to spend as much as you want on it. If you spend a fair bit I'll probably even end up giving you other circumstance bonuses for having such an impressive banner.
Theroc - Those don't look too bad.
Level range will be 2+. I have no plans for an 'end game' to this campaign, it's pretty much open ended and can accomodate PC's at any level. As we progress, Storylines will develop dependant on how the characters act/what they do, etc.
Ark - Yep.
Here's the roster I currently have of 10 PC's, btw.

OK, just went over the characters in the Rogue's Gallery
First I have a few requests for everyone, then I'll get down to the individual nitpicking.
1: Please include somewhere prominent (Such as at the begining of your sheet) which alternate source you have access to. for some characters it is obvious, but others not so much.
2: If your ability scores are modified due to race/etc, please include this with your scores.
3: Please Indicate # of ranks in any skills.
4: Don't forget to include age and appearance (Ht, Wt, Eye/hair color)
5: Please Include Prices for all your gear.
6: Please include what source any feat/item/spell/etc is from if it is not PHB, for quicker reference.

Scrolls are magic items, they'll have to go.
Where did you get the 'Modron' language from? I was under the impression they didn't exist anymore.
Artificers only get d6 hd, and you have 10 con, so you should have 12 hp, not 14 (Unless I missed something).
I suggest using some of your gold to buy the material components required for your infusions. many of them have costly components (That is to say, they have listed gp costs)
*The dean accepts your Essay pending further analysis of your capabilities*
Myth and Legend
Could you include a section where you indicate your most common attack routine? (IE: Long sword + X, 1d8+X damage, threat 19-20/x2)
RE: Knowledge - No, you may choose a knowledge that is NOT a class skill to GAIN as a class skill. The 'bonus' only applies if you allready had EVERY knowledge skill as a class skill.
None of the carrying containers in the PHB really detail how much they can carry, so I guess as long as it makes sense, then you can put it in them. Just indicate what's in which container and if I think it seems like too much I'll tell you.
Arrows come in quivers of 20 for 1 gp.
Food and water will be provided by the school
A few notes on your horse: He won't be allowed to wander the halls with you, you'll have to stable him until you need him. Also, not all of the encounters in the training room will have space for your mount.

I see you're not done yet. I read through what you do have and only have one comment:
I'd like you to take a different Taboo. The 'can't eat meat' thing won't come up as the school can offer you any form of food you require. As such it's not much of a restriction.
*The dean accepts your Essay pending further analysis of your capabilities*
Rpgramen
Your shortbow attack should be 1 higher. (+1 bab, +4 dex, +1 mw=+6.) Also don't forget to add the +1 damage for point blank on your second entry. (It should be attack +7, damage 1d6+1 if within 30')
Everburning torch is magical, and therefore not allowed.
*The dean accepts your Essay pending further analysis of your capabilities*
Glasseye
As with Myth's horse, your pack dog will not be allowed to roam the halls with you. Exceptions are made for animal companions and familiars, but not pets/mounts/beasts of burden.
I count only 36 of your 38 skill points spent, and I don't think any of your listed skills are cross class.
*The dean accepts your Essay pending further analysis of your capabilities*
Rathan
Is there a mechanical reason you chose Boccob? Some feat/spell/PrC down the line you plan on taking?
Sunrods are Alchemical, Everburning Torches are Magical. these will need to be replaced.
I don't allow unspecified costly material components. If you have spells that require costly material components you'll have to pay for each seperately and keep track of what you have.
*The Essay is supposed to be from the student.*
Theroc
Your HP breakdown should read 2d4+4 (2/lvl for 14 con), but the final result is correct: 12 hp
Don't forget that as Wizards have all knowledge skills, you gain a +2 school bonus to any knowledge check that you have max ranks in.
Still need feats, spells, equipment.
*The dean accepts your Essay pending further analysis of your capabilities*
Ishalleatyourflesh
You need an alignment
You should have a -4 size penalty to Intimidate for being small.
Instead of just writing 'attack', please indicate what you are attacking with.

Allright, that's everybody who's posted in the RG so far. Apologies to anybody who may have added/edited while I was typing this, it did take a little while.

Whoops... obviously I'm an idiot when everyone was talking about magic items... sorry.
Modron.... I'm not sure where I got it from...? Oh wait, the generator I was using had it listed as an available language. I switched it out for Ignan.
I've update HP, I had originally had 12 Con & 12 dex, but flipped them around.
I've added some of the infusions material components, he's got more ointment than he knows what to do with
Should be good to go Jemal.
Thanks!
Does the variant rules in the SRD count as an alternate source, or do I still have an alternate source available if I find one I'd like?

Jemal:
Boccob: I Chose Boccob because it fit the characters back story, he wanted to do his own thing but still not displease his father, or displease him a little as possible... there's no mechanical reason for taking it.. it just fit... I tend to take things that fit with characters rather than those things to make them 'uber' later on....
Sunrods removed
Everburning Torch Removed
Spell Components Broken down and Listed with gold costs
Essay added.
That is all.. hehe

General notations made as requested. FYI, the pack dog is just for those times when the students are given missions outside the school. I'll be more than glad to keep it kenneled. Skill points: I did purchase one skill rank as a cross class skill before it became a class skill with my second class. This has now been noted on my sheet.

Jemal, I'm not sure the taboos are actually meant to be much of a restriction. I simply picked one from the list; I could have picked that she won't cut her hair, or drink alcohol, or wear a certain color...all from the list given, and none of those seem to have much of a restriction in game terms.
Do you have some suggestions on what type of taboos you want?
