Here's Nate's main... still needs fluff, spellbook, and to spend gold but you should be able to see the basic idea... in my time zone there's a full 24 hours left, if you have a specific cut off in mind please let us know. I'll try to finish the missing stuff tomorrow.
I might have been better off, honestly, staying straight Wizard but it just fit so well with the feel I was going for. Normally I wouldn't really consider a mystic Theurge (unless the starting level was in the teens, maybe) because you lose so many caster levels but faith magic lets you do it with only one level lost. Casting as a 2nd level cleric at 7th level probably isn't worth missing out on 4th level wizard spells really, but like I said the flavor just works so well (and if we play long enough I'm sure it would be worth it eventually).
Originally I was thinking something similar with Aolis but I tend to take the long view with PCs I make. Who they may end up being at the end of the road, ie 20th level. So I have a bit of a grasp as to where their going. I could not see Aolis never being able to cast the most powerful spells, so I stopped banging my head against the MT wall and went spell sage with magaambyan arcanist to get what I was shooting for fluffwise without breaking mechanics. Not to mention trying to get mythic into the mix while keeping it organic proved beyond my ability.
Congrats Nate your a better man then me for making it work. :)
Ok, here is what I have managed to come up with for Trawets Aarock and his paladin cohort Bachu
I know they both need some polishing but it's a good start.
Final day! Excited to see how this campaign works out.
Ok, I've spent a good chunk of my gold and I have an outline of my background up. I won't be able to do any more for several hours but if you have any questions post them and I'll address those first when I get time.

The followers can very well stay a work in progress. Don't worry about it.
Same with characters that need polishing. We can finish then at the start of the campaign, that, I fear, has a lot of social encounters and no combat.
Less than 6 hours left. Need to finish the reviewing, and then we start with the good news.
Can't wait to get good news... still hoping here...
I only have 5 followers and they're all 1st level (maybe 6 if my blend of arcane and divine magic constitutes 'special power'). I'm not going to bother to actually build them unless I need to... I'll add a spoiler when I get time with names and classes; I'll probably do 1-2 wizards, 1-2 magi, a cleric, and maybe like an inquisitor or bard?
The waiting is the hardest part.....well maybe almost as hard as shopping for gear. Kinda neck in neck sometimes. x)

If somebody else make a submission but I don't mention you, please let me know, it was an oversight from my part.
So please, those accepted, go to the discussion thread, for more good news.

Merus is a minor member of the Lebeda family. His family lives in Restov and as a result he was easily admitted to one of the Aldori dueling academies. He excelled at his training and graduated near the top of his class. As is common for young minor nobles with little to no prospective advancement, he spent much of his time carousing in Restov. It was during this time that he was infected with the political push for Rostland independence. Despite his family's close ties with the Surotovas, Merus had always despised them which made it even more appealing to back the independence movement. So far, he has successfully hidden his political leanings from his family, but he chafes at having to stay in the city.
It was during his carousing that he met his companion, Stefan. In an epic barroom tauntfest, they became good friends. They both have an extremely biting sense of humor (usually at others expense) and for almost two hours attempted to one up each other in insults. In fights they constantly exchange banter with each other, commenting on the faults of their opponents.
Stefan Tomanescu is a little darker than Merus. From Varisia, he has only been in Restov for a couple of years. He grew up on the streets and has not been exactly what one would call an upstanding citizen. However, he only "borrows" from those that can afford it. Unlike Merus who tends to spend money like water, Stefan treats parting with coin as if it it actually bleeds him. Thus he has substantially more liquid capital than Stefan. He is also more pragmatic, treating Stefan's political ambitions with humor. But even so he sees in Stefan something as he has definitely thrown in his lot with him wholeheartedly.
