This is Joy's submission.
This still open?
This looks quite interesting. I shall be submitting an amnesiac psychic shortly.
Let's give this a go!:
20-point buy it is!
A few questions that may aid in character background:
1. Will there be social interaction beyond the party, or should bards and the like be eschewed?
2. Do the ruins/dungeon account for the perceived totality of the adventure? If so, is this fourth-walled (in the event level 9 is achieved, the party wizard finding there is a teleport "block")?
Many thanks!
Will have my submission ready sometime today.
I'm thinking of a lizardfolk ranger, hoping to have time to build him in the next couple of days.

Answers:
1) There is a place in game that will be a safe haven to come back and buy/heal/rest. And there will be a few interactions.
2)the "ruins" are the entire adventure. And trying to leave them will result in some less than savory deaths.
For example, unless your trying to teleport to a well known place your more than likely to get sealed inside a stone wall.
Okay, I had some time to work on my lizardfolk ranger. He's a wary, savage person, who seems familiar with taking harsh measures for survival, and a instinctual mistrust for mammalian beings. Still, he'll work with whoever he has to in order to survive. Details in this alias's profile.

Here is my submission for a dwarven fighter. He is not the easiest to get along with and is always loosing things or getting lost. So he is not too surprised at his current predicament. He would love to find a place to get a pint somewhere in this dungeon.

Hmm... That is an iteresting question, I suppose it would be a weapon, RAW would treat improvised weapons as just that.
Although, I'll have you know alot of the time improvised weapons usually don't have high damage. For example: a shovel (if it's a one handed shovel and not a full sized one) only does 1d6 blunt damage, and is treated as a battle-axe otherwise.
A full sized shovel does 1d8, and is two handed.
This damage is because most of the time these items where not made to kill.
Unless it's in the hands of William H Macy.
This is Pennate submitting a character for this campaign. I would have posted this earlier, but I'm having quite a busy week. -.- For the sake of thoroughness, I'd like to double-check whether it is allowed for this character to start play with a tool used as an improvised weapon, rather than one of the items you listed in the OP; if not, I can easily exchange it for something else.
I'm aware of the limitations of improvised weapons, but I enjoy a challenge in this type of hobby. Also, there's just something to be said for fighting off some unspeakable evil with a weapon made possible by one's wits and creativity; it adds a certain panache to each encounter, don't you think? :)
Or fighting with tooth and claw! ...when you have to, because we'll probably want to stay at range and do hit-and-run tactics when we can.
Yeah, I expect unconventional tactics will be necessary to survive. Approaching everything head on will probably result in swift disaster.
Life has jumped up and bitten me on the posterior in most unpleasant fashion. As my time is going to be even more limited than has been, I officially retract my declaration to submit a character.
Just in case you were still waiting for that submission, which is many days late, waz up. :D
Happy Murderhoboing, all!
WOOT!
Point buy it is.
Is this still proceeding?
Excellent.
Good luck everyone!
