If it's Paizo, it's good (mostly). Custom and 3rd party will be vetoed.

Character Backgrounds
Backgrounds are the foundations we build to make or characters believable. They also provide hooks for the GM to engage your character more deeply in the story. Old enemies, lost relatives, and famous weapons make for terrific potential plotlines, which makes everyone the winner. I’m not asking for a short story or a novel here. Keep it skirt-length (long enough to cover the important details, but short enough to keep me interested). A few paragraphs would suffice. Make sure to cover any driving events in your character's life, specific enemies (if any), and future goals. The more I have to hook into, the more likely you are to feel your character engaged in the adventure. There may be in-game rewards for well-defined characters (more on that later).
Starting Gold
150g for all classes. You were either given it, worked for it, or stole it. Work that into your background.
GM Review
I am more interested in character concepts and stories than I am in how many times you can hit yourself in the head before you black out. Concept and background are just flat out more important to me than specific roles and the crunch. Don’t ask me what roles need filling. It doesn’t matter. I’d rather play with an all-rogue group that really gets into the storytelling than have the perfect 5 role setup.
