Here's my warlock (so far). I was having trouble finding a background that fit my original concept, but with a bit of reworking that concept, I think I can make the urchin background work. Backstory and final adjustments for the rolls below will follow tomorrow.

On backgrounds, a few of you lack them. I would like at lest a paragraph of background. I will not be choosing characters based off stats alone.
I'm currently filling out Olybrius's background now. I just want to make sure it fits his Background and class.

What's the general premise/location/setup? Can you tell us where the PCs are when the AP starts? That way, I can come up with a reason why I'm there and make an appropriate backstory. Or is that information contained in some sort of document related to the AP that I can look at?
Also, you left my work-in-progress wizard off your tally. :)

Ah, that looks like what I needed! I'll peruse it tonight and come up with a suitable backstory. Thanks!
Also: LINK to my character, still a work in progress, but getting close to done. :)
I'll need to adjust my flaw since Heldren is actually a pretty tolerant place. I'll have a background paragraph up along with an adjustment to my sheet by tonight. I still plan on being a local.

Okay, fixed my crunch. Added my ideals, which I somehow forgot the first time. And I changed up my Flaw to be a more accommodating of someone who grew up in Heldren.
Working on my back story now.
Having lost so much so early, Tursk yearned for family and wed early to a Qadiran woman named Holana – his mountain blossom. He moved to Demgazi, and was blissfully happy for three years before tragedy struck. A freak fire took his wife’s life while he was out on a hunt. A crystal door knob survived the fire, and he keeps it with him to this day as a reminder of his lost love.
He returned to Heldren determined to be as good a man as his wife thought him to be. He wanted to protect his hearth and home. And soon thereafter he felt the call of Old Deadeye, and opted to serve as his cleric. Some in town ponder why the ever smiling, good-natured Tursk would ever serve such a dour god as Erastil, but they do not know of his pain. Only a select few have ever seen him so unguarded.

A vest with 100 tiny pockets. Interesting.
Backstory
A native of Irrisen, Helen Gardamum is petite for an ulfen, meaning she is of a size that others would consider normal. With her less viking-esque size also comes a more bookish temperament, inclining her to the study of all things written. When she was in her late teens, she traveled to Oppara in Taldor to study languages and wizardry, both of which she picked up with ease, graduating ahead of schedule. Wanting a break from the big city, Helen has now traveled to Heldren, where she can enjoy a small-town atmosphere while within a reasonable distance of Zimar (and particularly its libraries). She's been in town for a few weeks, and is just settling in for a comfortable chapter of her life... or so she thinks.

I'm sure I've probably forgotten something, but there it is. The backstory's somewhat basic, but the player's guide didn't offer much more than "be in Heldren", so I didn't know what other tie-ins I could make. I'm open to feedback. :)
A metal can that has no opening but sounds as if it is filled with spiders.
As far as backstory goes, I went with my character is completely new and foreign to Heldren and its neighboring cities. I decided to just create a character out of personality instead of just creating a character that knows much about the city he is in or any of the nearby locations.
Let's see what trinket Barl ends up with.
Whoa..100 A metal urn containing the ashes of a hero.
Jenrah here. I changed her name, and I'm not sure if this is the final avatar I'll use (not that it matters at this point), but here is "Maeri", including backstory. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
Rolled Trinket was #14 - "An enormous scale, perhaps from a dragon"
Olybrius now has a backstory and appearance image!
