I don't see a class restriction...
Traits are Ancestral Weapon and Rich Parents
First Level is Masked Maiden Vigilante

Feats:
1. Weapon Focus (Close Greatsword)
1. Power Attack (New attk/dmg is +7/+7 for 2d6+6, even better when not flurrying eg moving)
3. Variant Multiclass: Barbarian
Equipment:
MW Cold Iron greatsword -0 gp (add Versatile design -500gp)
Battered Gray Maiden Plate -0 gp
300 gp worth of stuff.
The Build:
The first level of Masked Maiden gives our heroine free full plate. Ancestral Weapon will give her a Masterwork Greatsword which she will upgrade with Versatile Design adding it to the Close Weapon Group. That makes her weapon an exotic but she's proficient with all close weapons. At third she can flurry her Greatsword at +7/+7 for 2d6+4 before feats. With feats she's doing +7/+7 for 2d6+6 or +9 for 2d6+9 if she has to move or can't hit flurrying. She can also rage for a few rounds. Her companion is a Warcat and I have to go but I'll be back.

For the purpose of fighter weapon groups, a scabbard for a heavy blade is considered a hammer, and a scabbard for a light blade is considered a close weapon.
Brawlers are proficient with all close weapons. Ergo, brawlers are proficient with scabbards for light blades.
Martial Flexibility is used to take the Favored Adversary feat for +2 A/D.
****
Attack/Damage per level:
One: +8/+8 (1d6+3)
Two: +9/+7/+7 (1d6+3), or +9/+9 and move
Three: +11/+9/+9 (1d6+4), or +11/+11 and move
****
If Multiclassing was allowed, then switch out the 3rd Brawler for one level in Bloodrager, and Fortified Armor Training for Shield Wall.
The tiny-sized bloodline familiar will then share my space and ready an action to protect me with a Tower Shield.
So, I'm going to assume combat-only, because 10 point buy means we only get one thing. I also frontload for level 3, consider retraining if you survive and level up.

I choose to take the Constructed Pugilist archetype since Martial flexibility isn't great at 3rd, some of the abilities seem useful, and it gives us the option of masterwork.
I'm worried about defence from the lack of magic, so I build for it proactively: the reach modification and one of our 4 feats on Combat Reflexes. We still threaten in melee with our other unarmed strikes. Normally I would go towards trip on a reach build, but we can't trip with our automail until level 6. Instead I choose grapple as our manoeuvre training for the CMD because monsters with Grab are a thing. I'd fill out the remaining slots with Toughness, Weapon Focus (constructed arm), and Iron Will as fairly standard feats. I don't take power attack yet because we have neither an inbuilt accuracy boost nor the extra damage from two-handing.
We first spend 300 gold to masterwork our arm. We take leather lamellar to save 140 gold over a chain shirt, and we still fit within the +3 max dex We have shield proficiency, We spend 26 gp on two daggers that will serve as our backup ranged, silver, cold iron, and slashing options. We do have shield proficiency, so we drop another 7 gold on a heavy wooden shield to bring our AC to 18. 10gp is the acid for the first swarm you run into (consider saving it for Dimunitive swarms. Tiny swarms take full damage from bludgeoning attacks like our fist). I would seriously consider getting a healer's kit for 50 and investing one of your 3 skill ranks per level in Heal if magic is completely unavailable. We have 47 gp left for miscellaneous other gear. Another skill investment should be perception, because it's likewise important. I'd finish with one rank each in climb, swim, and acrobatics since a token investment is useful for them

Ancestral Weapon has a max cost of 500gp, so you can't afford a weapon with a modification, maybe use signature moves to get it instead.
Also, Idk if you can use the fact that it can now act as a close weapon to avoid spending a proficiency on it or not, it sure is nice if you can.
Otherwise it looks very much like another build I did. :)

Thaumophobia? Who in the worlds of Pathfinder thinks that no magic is a good thing?
Bah and Humbug.

I like to say that I added the mod after the trait. I'll take Signature Moves instead of Rich Parents and just have two Greatswords because why not? That leaves me with the full 500 gp and an extra greatword (not flurryable).
As for PF Legal, I assume that means PFS legal which would mean no VMC or Versatile Design which disqualifies me. I could update my build but I think I'll just sit this one out and see what everyone else busts out.

Shield Wall, light armor and a heavy shield should place my AC at 21. It's possible to take the Total Defense action for 27 AC, and still attack with a swift action to really turtle up.
I'm not too sure where PFS stands on familiars using shields, so that's something uncertain. If it's allowed, then the Familiar can provide total cover to its master with the Shield Wall feat.
This would shut down ranged martial opponents, but wouldn't last long against a martial enemy sundering the shield (as it would only have 5 HP).
A man with ferrety features slips past the the guards at the entrance. Away from the eyes of the crowd he pulls out a flask and sips the glowing liquid with a sigh. "What? Just a supernatural ability, not one of yer spells or spell-likes. Quit bothering me!"

That's a good one, but runs afoul of the OP's human requirement. (The PFS-legal requirement is odd, given that it's a 20pt campaign.) Anyway....

* Wolf normally stalks hidden; trips flat-footed opponents in surprise round
* +1 elevation bonus versus most low-level targets
* plenty of AoOs since few opponents are bigger than large-sized.
Shoot, I forgot about the human requirment.
Factoring that it, the build can be basically the same, just take heart of the fey reduce strength to 16 and boost int to 12 and wis 10. Trade out fate's favored for defender of the society. Oh and throw on an armored kilt to the 4 mirror for another bump to AC.Use the extra feat on iron will.

Challenge Accepted!
But this is for fun on my part, someone else can take it to the next level. For now this is Goon/Elite.

Tad late so my math might be off. But let me try to paint an example of what he does if it's not somewhat obvious.
Line up with Target. Charge. Dirty Trick the target(Which may or may not be boosted by said charge). Goal is to not only hit them with it but attempt to beat their CMD by 5 to prolong the Dirty Trick. We're looking for Sickened and Shaken as the actual effects. And Kitsune Tricks lets us put both of them on the target. Say hello to -4 on basically every combat stat short of movement.
Then we start tearing into them as their AC is bricked so we can hit them even with Flurry, AND their Fort has also dropped so our Poison can start also tearing into them. Sure they can start shaking off the effects but if we've stalled them for a turn or two, we might have a flanking buddy by that point. And then we just Dirty trick them every other turn if needed.
Fury Drops lets us have a discount Rage(+2 STR and CON +1 Will oh look that boosts everything we want, -2 AC), Enlarge because we want to be big, Magic Fang is also very nice and Invigorate will help us shake off the 1d6 Rage of the Fury Drops if we roll low.
Now the Fury Drops might be PFS banned but I couldn't find anything on them. I also don't think this would actually work as well as I painted it and we give up defenses to do it but I thought it was a fun idea/build. Someone can take it a bit further than me I'm sure.
Last bit from me, possible to drop Kitsune Tricks for Iron Will. We can just Martial Flex into Tricks if need be until we actually pick it up.
