Hmm, I am seeing some good concepts here so it will be tough to compete with. However, it has been a while since I played ye ol' dwarven fighter. Lets see what kind of spin I can put on a classic.
Focus
Foible
With those roles I am thinking Foehammer Archetype with dual wielding instead of the normal weapon and shield. For the campaign trait, I will go with Relic of the Dwarven Smithy and go with the Warrior of Legend stat trait, Sturdy, smart and relatively charismatic, but reckless to a fault. ;)
Hey, I get double voting power one one, good time to roll divine ;) Thanks.
I'm pretty sure one of those won't make it but I'll roll with the majority whatever comes :)
OK, I made a list of all the current applicants with links to the character sheet if these are available.
Note that I only put in those that have rolled their ability in this thread according to the campaign info. I have sorted everyone based on the post in which they rolled their ability scores.
Disclaimer: I have no influence in the decision making of the GM.

Divine Right of Rulership 2
Honor
The patron saved your life. You’d be dead without the patron’s aid. But why were you saved?
Garnult held as the goblinoids surged around him. Tharnhammer honor must be met His father had fallen, his uncles had fallen, how he was alive was a wonder to him. He swung the longaxe in a wide arc, decapitating the green skinned bastard that threatened him. The pain in his side reminded him that there were more to replace the one slain. He feels his knees begin to weaken as the loss of blood and exhaustion takes its toll. He screams his defiance into the face of the horde. I am Garnult Tharnhammer, son of Thorkil Tharnhammer and heir of Dammerhall! Come and get me beasts, for I am stone and mountain!
The greenskins come forward, in their multitude. Rugeir the Foehammer falls, a goblin skull in his armored hands. His friends are falling around him. Four approach him, yelling their battle song, yipping like animals. He slays two, the other two hack at his legs and side.
I see my father. I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers. I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. They call to me. They bid me take my place among them. In the halls of the Forgefather. Where the brave....may live...forever. and blackness.
Garnult hears it in his mind. As he floats in the dark stone between worlds. You are not finished. Destiny, unfulfilled.
Garnult awakens on the battlefield, it is cold and empty and he is alone.

You can take me off. :(
Unfortunately, the requirements to keep the stats in rolled order kind of leaves me playing a zen archer, which I'm already putting in on another game, and I can't seem to come up with a different build with the stats I rolled (the 8 str and 12 dex kills anything but an area of effect blaster, which I don't really enjoy playing).
Mirrin is nearly done stat wise. Had to go back because in my mad spending spree I forgot armor. Silly me.

Secrets Beneath the Mountain
Divine Right of Rulership
Mirrin's mother explained that one day he may be last in that line. He did not understand the signifigance he played in this until his father died in battle some years later.
It was then revealed to him the significant role he played. He was one of the last true ehris to the kingdom of Dammerhall and arguably the one with the most legitimate claim. It wasn't long before others started to try and influence the young Mirrin. Many were hoping that he wuld lead them to reclaim the former glory the dwarves posessed. Others hoped to use him so that they could do it themselves. Some, the truly loathsome, merely wanted to use him to advance their own desire for power.
He found them all despicable.
It was no surprise than that Mirrin found solace not in boks, or histories, or song, and drink but in the dark solitude found in the deepest tunnels of his home. As he grew older, and the pushiness of those who would use him grew, so too did he drift farther and farther away. When his mother was murdered in an attempt to intimidate him, he was done with the idea of reclaiming any kingdom altogether. Let them rot. Let them sink into their despair and fade into nothing if this was all that was left of the glories of old.
Mirrin all but abandoned his family name, and wandered the deep darkness taking out his anger and despair on those more despicable than the worst of his kin.
Mirrin wandered the ark depths becoming a wanderer and taking up odd jobs where he might find work either for his knowledge, his skill at arms, or his skills at survival.
It is in the darkest depths where Mirrin found peace and also when he was finally called by those who dwell within it to claim his birthright.
It would not last.
Many years were spent forgetting the teachings of his mother, the wisdom and training of his father, and the pleas for help from those who sought it. Many long, dark hours, were spent focusing on survival, on winning the daily meat, and slaying those dark elves whose casual cruelty embodied everything he despised.
And then, during a moment of lost focus, a dangerous spider bit him, and for four days and nights he lay in a crack in a granite wall and shivered with hallucinations and nightmares for four days. At the end of it, when his water was nearly gone and tired from the strugggle with the venom he made his way back to civilization to gather what remained of his family, and reclaim what was rightfully theirs to build.
Trouble is he doesn't intend to be a king at all.

Alright, I can work with that. That array screams for a wizard, and since the roster currently seems to boast none, I shall step up to this challenge. Funny, I remember trying to roll up a dwarven wizard several games ago, but never getting it to fully form in my head. Round 2, here we go.
Think I'll take the "scholar of ancient ways" ability adjustments. Basically flips my dex penalty to a con penalty for MOAR CHALLANGE.

descriptor votes:
I have some tidbits about him but still working on a name, also he has a pet giant slug so there's that. Will post the long story bit about him when I settle on a name. Yeps.
He's the guy that's going to be telling the other dwarves what fungi and centipedes are eatable. So there's that. Also, possible vermin control- might change some spells around and some gear around before we start depending on the group we get.
Here is my Character Alias with some more info.
[list]
So im guessing we will shape out backgrounds and stories after a patron is chosen?
When the dwarves were a bit older their teacher had them work for a year in the forges. At the start of that year it seemed that Deaglan was a lot better there than Donagh. Deaglan was better at the bellows, hauling coal and all the other menial tasks. However when they were allowed at the forge and tried to make a simple hammer all the strength and prowess of Deaglan did not help him, the steel shattered beneath his strokes. This was the place Donagh was meant to be: with just a few quick strokes at exactly the right place and time he made his first hammer. Deaglan was not accustomed to this and tried to surpass his brother at this, alas that did not happen.
It was clear that Donagh would be apprenticed to the smiths, while Deaglan was apprenticed to the honor guard. Donagh was very happy for his brother and presented him with a fine warhammer when their apprenticeships ended. Donagh still rues that day, as he was daydreaming of all the great deeds that his brother would do as he was making the hammer. By not paying attention he had not seen a flaw in the material, a flaw that would cost his brother his life.
Soon word came to the hold that Deaglan had died because his hammer had shattered on the sword of a lowly goblin. After the burial rituals where concluded no-one knew where Donogh was. In shame he had left the hold. The next years Donagh wandered the world, improving his skills at the forge where he could. He is hoping to learn the secrets of forging true Mithral, and for that, he needs to go to Dammerhall...

On an unrelated note, I just realized that my choice of foible, and dwarven ability modifiers applied, my CHA would be 6 :-( Wow that's low, not to say ugly.
I bit at a loss for back story right now,
Can get some crunch but unsure what to do next.
Will hopefully have something soon

===================================================
The table was slowly filling with mugs now empty of ale, strong ale. Grunyar was hitting the keg hard this evening. The only pause he had between the brews was when he looked at something beneath the table. The barmaid had tried to peak, but he had covered it, preventing her from seeing the exquisite blade. No one beside himself knew, that only a few nights ago the blade had belonged to a merchant, where it had been stored in a chest, a shame for such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
There is rock bottom and then there is bedrock and his conscience was hurling him towards the later. It wasn’t the first time he had it bad after one his unaproved nightly visits, but it was the first time he was going for a clean shave and a greataxe.
Why did he always manage to wreck his life, when it was heading in the right direction? He had a promising apprenticeship at one of the masons, the old geezer had even grumblingly approved of his work in the past week. Well until he got this little beauty, it had been declining ever since. He had to do something. Turn himself in? No the shame was too much, same with suicide. Shaving and slaying then? Nahh he was bad with and axe. Full time spelunking, it was his beloved hobby, but alone all the time, besides it was dangerous. What then? well work tomorrow and we’ll take it from there. Ahh another ale.
Being young is never easy in a Dwarven society, where age is a virtue. Grunyar struggle more than most because sometimes being good is difficult, stealing comes easily, the guilty conscience comes later but it’s bad. He tries to present a friendly demeanour but should someone (perhaps rightly) question his honour, he becomes difficult.
Ht: 4 2"
Wt: 248 lbs
Age: 47

Looking over Grunyar you’ll find a dwarf of average height but with considerable more girth. His head is bald with a less than impressive dark beard. Grey eyes with a hint of green looks inquisitively back at you.

@Magabeus: I have an alias assigned to me character now, just for the link to my character there.
Patron family honor.
Vorn now believes fervently (whether it is true or not) that he is the last descendent of his family name, and that the that Redhand's were a noble house of Dammerhall. He dreams of leading a group to reclaim the lost dwarven city, taking back his birthright and taking a position of authority as is his noble right.
Although he cannot ascertain why Dammerhall fell, he believes that the disaster was from natural causes, tremors and quakes, that brought down the great bridges and smashed the mighty constructions. He has since made it his personal task to master the elements of music and sound, so that dwarven stone will last forever. This time.
Jovial and lighthearted in most instances (much to the chagrin of more conservative dwarves), Vorn tends to forget immediate dangers in favour of lightening the mood with song. In the comfort of a dwarven alehouse he is an asset, but he can be something of a liability in more dangerous locales.
I also wasn't sure on the fact that whether the dwarves currently are living alongside humans above ground or below. To my understanding the dwarven nations have been annexed. Was just thinking, didn't think humans would feel to comfortable underground ;)
Dotting, sounds interesting and I love dwarves.
Yeah, the way I see it, the dwarves are in decline and allowing the humans to protect them via treaty and such. Hence they sit around their strongholds and pine away for the days of glory while someone else fights their battles. The Humans are kept friendly by gifts of fine dwarven craftsmanship. Even those are likely getting more scarce as the society decays from ennui.
Hence the idea of Tycho grabbing an ancient weapon from the glory days and striking out into the human lands to make his name, snubbing his family and it's name (Coldhearth is a name he chose for himself, dropping his clan name it is obviously symbolic).
regardless of how it was envisioned by the GM, I can always tweak my bio and such. Lets hope we find some sort of steam powered subterranean vehicle. :0 jokes.
I'm also unsure as to the setting of the AP. Golarion doesn't seem to fit. However, there are a few themes that present themselves.
Dwarven tradition (Family, Clan, Honor)
Dwarven isolationism (Distrust of outsiders, turning away allies)
Dwarven secrets (Lore, Metal working, lost ore and engineering)
Dwarven glory (Kingdoms and society)
My character Garnult is focused on Tradition and Glory. As a Heir of Darnhammer, his focus would be restoration of Dwarven honor and his Clan's status.
@nilesr: The setting might be kept vague until a patron can be formed.
It was just the initial backdrop that was in question for me. Whether the dwarves are currently living above ground or still subterranean.
I get the impression that they live on the surface, but the dynamic nature of the humans has curtailed any hopes of expansion up there.
thats what i was thinking
Same here - Manifest Destiny, Pathfinder style.
(of course my backstory assumes that at least on clan refused to "go above" but that's just me being greedy)
Here is the character sheet for Brundig Loreaxe, Lore Warden archetype Fighter, submission from dathom. Besides for one feat and some gear, most of the crunch has been worked out. I am currently focusing on fleshing out the background, appearance and personality.
I'm waiting for some things to finish my character.
Put my votes on Forgotten Lore and Fortune Favors the Bold
Update of all the current applicants with links to the character sheet if these are available.
Note that I only put in those that have rolled their ability in this thread according to the campaign info. I have sorted everyone based on the post in which they rolled their ability scores.
Disclaimer: I have no influence in the decision making of the GM.

The dwarves live on or near the surface; many have integrated into human cities, while a few remaining dwarven mountain strongholds and cave mines controlled by dwarves are around.
While there may indeed be a clan of dwarves that shun the sunlit world of the humans, they are more likely to live in one of these mountain caves than anywhere in the "underdark".
I've given what background the adventure gives. Obviously, it is left somewhat vague so that it can be ported into multiple worlds. Once we've settled some more about the patron, I'll embellish things so people can flush out their characters before the due date.
One bit of advice for traveling the "underdark": pack a lunch. You may be days traveling in trackless, lifeless cave systems where even survival skill will do you no good for procuring food (luckily water is not as much of an issue as the caves are moist.)

glad I left some coin unspent.....back to the grocery store!!
might pack a bit more food, might trade in those dwarven rations for normal ones...Even though it might break my heart a bit.
@Reckless I've sent you a pm, please take a look at it if you can.
