The module provides some background hooks, if you are interested. Feel free to riff on any of these, it is not meant to be an exhaustive list:
Hunter: You're friends with the tribe's best hunter, Zaadragrank. You might have Animal Whisperer, Bounty Hunter, Hunter, Nomad, or Scout.
Medic: You're friends with the tribe's doctor, Brenzil and have an ailing relation or friend, and need to get important medicinal supplies from the wild. You might have one of the following backgrounds: Acolyte, Field Medic, Herbalist, or Scholar.
You saw it! When you were sneaking around outside, you once saw the Darkmoon Beast! You swear it's real even though none believes you. You might have one of the following backgrounds: Bounty Hunter, Detective, Guard, Hunter, Laborer, Martial Disciple, or Scout.
Following Footsteps: You have a strong urge to find the Crown of the Kobold King. It's somewhere out there… you can just feel it! You might have one of the following backgrounds: Artisan, Noble, Gladiator, Miner, Street Urchin, or Warrior.
Follower of Iomedae: You listened to Mihoothe, the newcomer in the warrens, and you have a connection to her religion. You might have the Emissary (Society), Barrister, or Warrior background.

ACCESS
All Uncommon options from sourcebooks are available. Rare or Uncommon from an AP, check with me first.
Cool, working on a rogue!
Here's Kadosh's basics. I have some tweaks still -- I think since I'm going to need both hands to do my traps, that might affect some choices (possibly heritage, possibly a feat, and gear).
Investigator coming up.
Planning to take the Magical Misfit background (which I see fitting into the Following Footsteps hook), and the Talisman Dabbler archetype, per Slack discussion.
Sounds good.
Are you also gold scales?
Whoa. Haven't seen Imperius' avatar before! Nice find.

Bronze. Lightning FTW.
Whoa. Haven't seen Imperius' avatar before! Nice find.
It was actually on the kobold search (I think)
I liked the crown and the gold scales
Hero point to Kadosh for the entertaining paranoia.

Hey folks, I'm back and have survived. Thanks for your patience. Are there any pinkskins left alive? Anything else I need to know to get back into things?
Kadosh, from level 2 to level 3

+1 to everything
Iron Will: proficiency rank for Will saves increases to expert
General feat: Thorough Search: You take your time searching to ensure you find everything. When Searching, you can take twice as long to search. Normally this means you Search at up to one quarter of your Speed, to a maximum of 150 feet per minute to check everything, or 75 feet per minute to check everything before you walk into it. If you do, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your Perception checks to Seek.
Skill increase: Stealth to expert
Ancestry Feat (ancestral paragon): Cringe (reaction) Trigger: A creature you are aware of critically succeeds on a Strike against you and would deal damage to you. Effect: With pitiful posturing, you cause your foe to pull back a deadly attack. The attacking creature takes a circumstance penalty to the damage of the triggering Strike equal to your level + 2. This penalty applies after doubling the damage for a critical hit. The attacker is then immune to your Cringe for 24 hours.
Imperius level to 3

Thank you everyone. This was a special game.
Jack, as always your character was so vivid and made our story so much more fun. I hope we gave you the ending you envisioned for Imperius.
