Traits
Friend of the Family (Campaign): Koya; Your family has been close friends with the Mvashtis for as long as you’ve been alive. Old Niska Mvashti’s recent death wasn’t all that unexpected— she must have been over a hundred years old, as far as you know—but it was a sobering moment nonetheless. What no one else in your family knows, though, is that in the weeks before her death, Niska must have known that her days were numbered, because she called you to her house one day and made you make a promise: If her daughter Koya ever went on a long trip, you would go with her to ensure her safety. Although the chances of Koya going on a long trip seem remote (she must be at least 60 years old, after all), you’ve made a promise to Niska to accompany her daughter if such an event comes to pass. Ever since you made this promise, you’ve felt a strange sense of destiny looming in your future—you might even think that Niska is now watching over your shoulder, just as she asked you to watch over her daughter. As a result of this eerie sense of being watched over, you’ve been able to react to dangerous situations more quickly than ever. As long as Koya remains alive, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception becomes a class skill for you. In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten Koya.
Unscathed (Magic): You add 2 to all energy resistances
Ease of Faith (Faith): Your mentor, the tribe's Shaman, took steps to ensure that you understood that what powers your divine magic is no different than that which powers the magic of other religions. This philosophy makes it easier for you to interact with others who may not share your views. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Diplomacy checks, and Diplomacy is always a class skill for you.

SQ
Eidolon: Can summon his eidolon in a ritual that takes 1 minute to perform. Its hp are the same as the last time it was dismissed or banished, unless it was slain, in which case it returns with ½ its normal hp. It does not heal naturally. It may be dismissed as a standard action. If it is slain, it cannot be summoned again until the following day. It cannot be sent back by dispel magic, but dismissal and banishment work normally.
Life Link: Whenever the eidolon takes enough damage to send it back to its home plain, he may sacrifice any number of hp, which prevent 1 point of damage done to the eidolon each. This can prevent the eidolon from being sent back to its home plane.
In addition, he and the eidolon must remain within 100 ft of each other for it to remain at full health. If the eidolon is from 100 ft to 1,000 ft, it current and maximum hp totals are reduced by 50%. If it is from 1,000 ft to 10,000 ft, its current and maximum hp totals are reduced by 75%. If it is more than 10,000 ft away, it immediately returns to its home plane. Current hp lost in this way are not restored when the eidolon gets closer to him, but its maximum hp does return to normal.
Spirit: Stone; He forms a mystical bond with a stone spirit. He gains the spirit ability and uses his Summoner level as his Shaman level for determining its effects. He can select spells granted by the spirit as Summoner spells known, using the Shaman level of the spell as the Summoner spell level. He cannot select spirit spells that are above 6th level.
At 9th level, he gains the abilities listed in the greater version of his selected spirit.
At 17th level, he gains the abilities listed for the true version of his selected spirit.
This ability replaces summon monster.

SQ
Darkvision: 60 ft
Link: He and his master share a mental link which allows for communication across any distance on the same plane. This is a free action, allowing his master to give him orders at any time. In addition, magic items interfere with their connection. As a result, they share magic item slots. In case of a conflict, items worn by the summoner remain active, and those used by the eidolon become dormant.
Share Spells: The summoner may cast a spell with a target of “you” on his eidolon (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on himself. A summoner may cast spells on his eidolon even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon’s type (outsider). Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list. This does not allow the eidolon to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

A member of the Shundar-Quah (Spire Clan), he has a rune of Kokip (Sentinel) on his forehead, matching that of his god. While at first glance he looks much the same as any other Shoanti, if you look more closely you can see a glint of divine light in his deep black eyes. When he calls his Eidolon the rune-tattoo on his forehead burns with the light of the mid-day sun.

History:
Listen, and I will tell you three truths. A tale of What Was, a tale of What Is, and a tale of What Will Be.

I was born in the Year of the Wasting Storms to the Shundar-Quah, what the Interlopers call the Spire Clan of Shoanti. Families throughout our territory came to see me, as mine was a very auspicious birth. As you can see, I have a birth-tattoo of the Kokip rune upon my brow, and the Shaman declared that I was fated to be a God-Caller. I would be a living link to the Avatar of our god, bringing great prosperity to the clan. But he had another augury about me that he told only the Eldest…

Mine was a long childhood. I remember Niska visiting us with her baby daughter Koya. We played together while the Eldest consulted with the wise woman. They left shortly after, and the next time Koya and I met, she was almost a young woman while I had barely changed. It has been that way all my life, watching friends and family grow old and die before I was mature enough to take my Rite of Manhood. The Shaman died before he could see his prophecy come true, the glorious day that Kokip, the Stone Serpent revealed himself to me.

That is What Was.

I started my new life as the Chosen of our god and Kokip and I fought many enemies of our Clan. Kokip has given me the power to channel the blood of the earth to destroy any who would threaten us. But it is not all about fighting. The Shundar-Quah seeks to make peace between all of the Clans, and the mere presence of Kokip and I have made many of the other Clans pay attention to the calls to meet and talk together as brothers when otherwise they might not.

I met Niska and Koya several more times and always followed their advice, which proved to our benefit. The last time I saw them, Niska took me aside and made me swear a promise to aid her daughter, no matter what she asked. When I heard that Koya was seeking to take a journey out into the world, I knew that I had to join her, even though it means leaving my home. Most of the Clan do not want me to leave, they say that my people need me more than some Interloper, but the Eldest overruled them and told them I must go. He said that a prophecy from a Shaman had been passed down from Eldest to Eldest for as long as I had been alive. He would not say what the Shaman had foreseen, but the look in his eyes frightened me.
So, I have come here and will journey with my “little sister” Koya as long as she needs me.

That Is What Is.

Since the day that I awakened to my destiny, I have never been alone. The God of our tribe is always with me, even when he is not physically in this world. Although he can only manifest a small piece of his divine might right now, as I continue my devotion and prayers, he will reveal more of his power. One day he will be powerful enough to sweep the evil from this land, and only the pure of heart will remain.

That is What Will Be…

What is your character’s name?
Rokkad

How old is your character?
70 years

What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)?
He is 5ft, 6in and 130lbs, with weathered, dark tan skin, obsidian eyes, and sandy brown hair. This member of the Shundar-Quah (Spire Clan) of the Shoanti has a slim, athletic build and a birthmark of the Kokip (Sentinel) symbol on his forehead. He wears animal hide armor, rough but expertly stitched, and carries a short spear. Most of the rest of his equipment is found on the back of his horse.

What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)?
He speaks the common tongue with a slight Shoanti accent and is soft-spoken. He is wary around those not of his people until they have proven themselves trustworthy. Like all Shoanti, he was almost born in the saddle and is very caring and protective of his horse.

Where was your character born?
In a small village along the Yondabakari River on the edge of the Cinderlands.

Where were you raised?
For the first couple of decades as he slowly aged through his childhood, he stayed in the village with his parents. Once he was old enough, he apprenticed to a shaman of a larger nomadic group which followed the auroch herds.

By who?
Raised by his parents at first, they grew too old to take care of the perpetual child and he was passed on to the Shaman, who finished his education and taught him until he took the Rite of Manhood.

Who are your parents?
His parents were an unremarkable couple, Klamath and Tamakah. They found their status improved by having such an auspicious child and his father was especially proud, at least at first. He found it difficult at time went on not being able to connect as well as other fathers did with their sons due to Rokkad’s slow aging.

Are they alive?
No, his father died in a battle against the Interlopers long ago, and his mother died of old age shortly after his Rite of Manhood.

What do they do for a living?
His father was a warrior, hunting the aurochs for food and hides most of the time and making war on those who intruded on the tribe's lands. His mother tanned the hides, making armor and clothing for the tribe.

Do you have any other family or friends?
He had one other older brother, also dead. His brother had children, but he has not had contact with his nieces, nephews or any grand-nieces or -nephews they may have had.

What is your character’s marital status?
He has never been married.

Kids?
None.

What is your character’s alignment?
Neutral Good

What is your character’s moral code?
He was brought up to always honor his word, but to give it rarely. He helps those in need if they deserve it, but believes that most people must try to help themselves first, for if something is given it does not have much worth. The true value lies in earning something through your own efforts.

Does your character have goals?
His tribe's duty is to make peace between all the tribes and he believes in this, that all of them must work together or perish. He wishes to see his people united and free, taking back their ancestral lands, but realizes that may not be possible. If this cannot be achieved, he would compromise by arranging a peace that the Shoanti and the Interlopers share the land equally.

Is your character religious?
He believes in the spirits of his ancestors and the land. More than that, he has proof in the form of Kokip, the avatar of one of their gods who comes when he calls and aids him as long as he proves himself worthy.

What are your character’s personal beliefs?
He believes himself a channel for his gods work on Golarion, on a righteous crusade.

Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)?
He is a bit suspicious of people he meets, needing them to prove themselves. He tends to be polite to anyplace or thing that he thinks has a guardian spirit, to placate them and stay in harmony with the spirit world.

Why does your character adventure?
Because he gave his word to Niska to aid Koya and because of his affection for her.

How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
He is the voice of reason and cooperation when meeting new people, and the voice of an angry god if they threaten him or those under his care...

Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)?
He has a birthmark of the Kokip rune on his forehead matching one on his eidolon, which glows when he calls upon him.

How does your character get along with others?
He is reserved at first, but is able to work with others as long as they show themselves honorable and worth trusting.

Is there anything that your character hates?
Injustice, lies, and those who prey on the innocent.

Is there anything that your character fears?
He secretly fears that he will not be able to live up to the faith and expectations of all those around him. That he will not be able to unite the tribes and fail at his destiny.

-Who are you and how are you doing?
My name is Mark and I am doin' fine, thank you!

-How often do you tend to post?
I usually check in a few times each day, and try to post at least once per day, more often if others are posting faster or there is something that is heavily involving my character.

-What kind of tone are you looking for in this game?
Mostly dramatic adventure, with some occasional light-hearted humor.

-What do you expect out of your fellow players?
To be respectful of the other players and GM and have fun with it!

-What do you expect out of me (the GM)?
The most important thing to me is having fun. You should be enjoying the game as much as we do, and it shouldn't become a burden. Followed closely behind that is communication. I want to keep going with this game at a good pace and hopefully finish the AP, but I know things happen. Even just a quick "I'm sick/tired/on vacation/etc." can go a long way towards keeping a game alive. If the GM shows that they are still invested, there can be pauses (even long ones) without everyone losing interest.

-What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms?
I don't know, I haven't found it yet. ;)
Seriously, the only thing I can think of that might make me a bit uncomfortable would be extreme sexual situation, which I think will probably not be a problem in this game.

-How do you see your character progressing as a character?
Coming to terms with his destiny. It is a heavy burden, being told all your (long) life that you are the chosen one and you must fulfill some task. He puts up a brave face and acts like he is in control, but in the end he doesn't know if he has what it takes.

--------------------

Silan is an incorrigable rogue, short of stature, red, and large of life, always with a playful smirk. From the days of his younger years, to now, he has always been one to seek adventure and fun whever he goes. His fey ancestry runs deeply in his blood, and he is a grand lover of jokes, pranks, and tall tales. He is a prankster with a heart of gold, and always one to play song on his trusty, battered lute for any who wish to listen. He would go to Ameiko's tavern often and play for food and drink. He would illicit happiness in those around him, and bring an atmosphere of joy, and mirth. He cares little of his past, only for this town that raised him, even as his heart begins to tug him away.

He remembers little from his past, and it does not concern him too much. He knows his parents were refugees from the Tien continent, and that they abandoned him in Sandpoint as they passed through. Sandpoint to him, has been a home. Full of family, he considers any of the goodly townsfolk to be his brothers and sisters, as they all, in one way or another, helped to raise him. Koya tried raising him, but his wild nature always found him away from her home, seeking adventure and fun. It was not uncommon for him to find himself sleeping in a barn or shed. Over the years, Sandpoint helped to raise him, and many turned a blind eye to their 'stray fox' sleeping in the shed or barn, offering hand me downs to help him out through the seasons and little gifts on his self appointed birthday. This has given him a very strange look, and has helped make him look much smaller than he otherwise would be due to the overly large clothes, cinched down with belts and ropes.

During the time of the 'Heros of Sandpoint', the area became very dangerous. In one such instance, the town was attacked by Giants from the mountains, bidden by the call of an unknown master. At this time he was wandering the outskirts when the giants fell upon him. Frozen in terror, he watched helplessly as they bore down , massive weapons ready to crush him into nothing. Shelalu came then, seemingly out of nowhere, and snatched him from his gorey fate, felling one of the giants, and pulling him to safety. Since that day he has been devoted to the mysterious elf. Always helping her on her annual visits to town, and constantly pestering her if he could follow her one day. He dedicated his time to learning to fight with the daggers he could find arround town. This actually being an ecletic assortment of dagger like objects, as no one in their right mind would give a young kitsune stray actual weaponry.

He practiced though, and he talked with adventurers, asking for help in learning the ways of fighting, and dungeon exploration. He listened, enraptured, to the tales told him at the Rusty Dragon. As time went on, he became adept at picking locks, and hiding items on his person. He learned to react to situations quickly, and to turn conversations towards his own ends. He never became malicious, and he remained true to himself and the people of his town. One adventurer gifted him a holy text on one occasion, and he took to reading it, finding that this Empyreal Lord, Picoperi, shared his own ideas on life, and having fun. While not entirely devout, he found some kind of comfort in knowing that even the gods can have fun.

As time marched on, he dreamed of what the outside world was like. What was his ancient homeland like? Where did he come from? What was out in the world? While he loves Sandpoint, his heart is pulling him away, ever hungry for adventure, companionship, and a true tale of heroism.
