Rulings Determined

Morphic Weapons: How many can I get? I could just use the most liberal interpretation, but doing such would essentially be an indefinite loop. -> As many as "reasonable".
Are evolved levels permissible? -> Yes.
Akashic grants certain SLAs from Arcana Evolved. Are those an exception to the normal "WotC casting only"? -> Yes, but taking an AE casting class is still out.
Does the change of regional feats to General void the racial requirements? -> Yes.
Do SLAs from Akashic qualify for the caster level requirements of item creation feats? Complete Arcane has a sidebar about this, and implies that singular SLAs can still be used. (It mentions that a nixie, with a CL 4 SLA of Charm Person, can qualify for the CL 3 requirement of Craft Wondrous Item.) -> Yes.
What sort of progression is given for the epic chameleon? -> This one. (Note: Link was changed due to WotC's board pruning.)
What sort of fractional progression does the medium save from Arcana Evolved get? I ask because Evolved Human uses it. (For reference, the mageblade's saves are all medium.) -> 5/12 (.4166...) per level

Rulings Needed

When used on a weapon, does the bonus from Greater Learn Secret apply to attacks, damage, or both?
Should the synergy bonus on Knowledge: History apply to Delve Into Collective Memory checks, as it does to the similar class feature of Bardic Knowledge?
Considering the whole "I won't permanently destroy your equipment pact", should homunculi merely be disabled upon their creator's death?

How I Will Operate If I Don't Hear Otherwise

Fil's suggestion seems to approximate the average, which I don't like because it makes the fractions SO MUCH MESSIER. How about 5/12 per level? (5/12 = .41666...)
Both. +2 to attacks and damage is nice, but not spectacular.
Yes, as it seems to make thematic sense.
Yes.

Note: Vintereth is currently a Ghostwalk ghost. Taking a level of eidolon temporarily replaces an akashic level, and the template itself temporarily obviates Otherworldly. Vintereth thus has Control Visage and Haunting Voice as temporary bonus feats.

4,135 xp spent on item creation

At this point, with only two aptitude foci, the character will probably either load up on precasts from the Arcane Focus at the beginning of the day and swap foci to Combat Focus, or just stay in Arcane for more short-term buffing. If people are fine with it, I'm willing to use Polymorph (or variants, if Fil decides differently). As soon as the character hits 12th level, both Arcane and Combat Foci will be used. At 16th level, I'll take the additional step of starting out with the Divine Focus and burning it out for precasts before swapping to Combat Focus.

The character is something of an arcane many-attack gish. It will consequently also be a skill monkey--the akashic class is designed to act in this manner.

This character is actually based on an epic arena character I'd run, called J'pyen War'r (hence the background references). Same changeling warshaper goodness, same "every skill is a class skill" trickery, same intent on gishing (J'pyen actually had the Arcane, Combat, and Divine Foci going simultaneously), same scorpion chain.

Fil's Comment Block

I'm with you, noldorforce. good judgement.-- fil

answers... sla qualify, racial requirements removed.

anytime you have a divine focus active, you get spirit sight.

for roleplay purposes, any akashic knowledge is provided from the spirit world. I can see akashic, monks, and psions living in close uarters... perhaps all as a part of the same school.

Comment Block for Everyone Else

DavidWL - Hey Noldor-Force, very nice mix of the Akashic, the Chameleon, and the Evolved Human. Wonderful mix.

fil here:

the background looks great, and may well account for maybe the first 5 levels or more/less... yer call. Id recommend fillig in faction and hoppig over to building a relationships to flesh out your interaction with the team... you're the only character I don't see a natural link to.

fil here 2-25

give me some details about the anit-dispel component for spells... I had previously stated that I w8ill not be using hte magic system from AE... essentially allowing the akashic class in and some gear, but that's about it.

I am, howeever, quite willing to incorporate things into the game if it makes sense to me.

so, how does that work?

^^Noldor - The anti-dispelling component is Verihas Leaf, at the end of the Equipment section. It works perfectly fine for both AE magic and D&D Vancian magic, as it simply gives a +10 bonus to the spell's caster level for the purpose of resisting dispel attempts. Most of the other components do similarly universal things; the one exception is andrecite, which heightens a spell (in the AE manner) without using a higher-level spell slot. It costs 800 gp.
