May I present Romli, with a height of 3 feet and 4 inches probably the smallest adult dwarf of Golarion Korvosa.
He's an orphan originally from who wants nothing more than to turn the tables and be taller than the humanoids around him so that once it's them who have to look up when being around him. He said to himself: "Who are expert in tallness? Right, giants!" So when he learned about the giant deities and their domains, he quickly became very religious.
Since that day, Romli has been praying every day to Fandarra, the giant goddess of growth, to make him taller. Maybe one day she will answer his prayers?

Dwarves with this racial trait gain 1 ki point. If the dwarf gains ki points from a different source, this ki point is added to that pool. In addition to any other ways in which the dwarf can use ki, the dwarf can expend the ki point as a swift action to either gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round or increase her base speed by 20 feet for 1 round. The bonus ki point does not allow the dwarf to make a ki strike unless she has another ability that allows her to do so, such as the ki pool from the monk class. Like other ki points, this ki point is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation. This replaces defensive training and hatred.

Dwarves are known for their superior craftsmanship when it comes to metallurgy and stonework. Dwarves with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on all Craft or Profession checks related to metal or stone. This racial trait replaces greed.

Dwarves with this racial trait can skillfully negotiate rocky terrain. They can ignore difficult terrain created by rubble, broken ground, or steep stairs when they take a 5-foot step. This racial trait replaces stonecunning.

Those who understand the connection between shadows and the Negative Energy Plane know how to fight the spirits of darkness. Characters with this trait deal 50% weapon damage to incorporeal creatures when using nonmagical weapons (including natural and unarmed attacks), as if using magic weapons. They also gain a +2 bonus on saving throws to remove negative levels, and recover physical ability damage from attacks by undead creatures at a rate of 2 points per ability score per day (rather than the normal 1 point per ability score per day).
Dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-orcs, and halflings can take this trait in place of weapon familiarity. Half-elves can take this trait in place of elven immunities. Humans can take this trait in place of their bonus feat, also gaining Iron Will as a bonus feat.

Amadine Steleanu is one of the few pureblooded Varisians in Korvosa, born into a horse-trading family. The extended Steleanu family has been breeding and training fine horses and ponies outside Korvosa and selling them in the Ridgefield ward of North Point for three generations. Unlike many Varisian families, the Steleanus have managed to prosper and gain the respect of their neighbors for the consistently high quality of their mounts and draft animals. Varisians have a reputation for expertise with horses, which the Steleanu family has parlayed into successful businesses.

However, the spirits decreed a different path for Amadine. Her grandmother Daiona was a shaman of the ancestors spirit, following an ancient Varisian tradition of communion with the spirit world, and when Amadine was born it was clear that she had great potential. Unlike with other forms of magic, though, an affinity for the spirits is a double-edged sword. Amadine absolutely had to be trained, otherwise there was a real danger than a malicious spirit would possess her. The fact that the young girl was also an aasimar was a footnote compared to the potential and danger of her spiritual ability.

Ruslo and Cinamenta weren't particularly thrilled at Daiona's decree. The path of a shaman is fraught with danger to body and soul. But there are many tales of untrained people with spiritual potential becoming victims of evil or mischievous spirits in the Varisian oral tradition. Ruslo's mother was right, and everyone knew it. So Grandma Daiona began training Amadine as soon as she was old enough to understand the necessary concepts and the gravity of what they were doing. Amadine's older sister Jaelle was jealous of the attention her little sister was receiving, especially when her aasimar heritage became more obvious. Her younger sister Maireni, on the other hand, thought Amadine was the coolest ever and adored her. Amadine is a naturally friendly person who likes to make people happy, so she tried her best to be a good friend to her siblings, a loving daughter to her parents, and both a diligent student and loving granddaughter to her grandma.

Inexplicably, no matter how hard Amadine worked and meditated, she was never able to progress her magical studies very far. She and Grandma both asked the spirits why, and both of them got the same answer every time. The stars are not yet right. Eventually Amadine gave up and apprenticed under a horse doctor, learning nonmagical ways to treat animals' illnesses and injuries. Once she earned her mastery, the Steleanu family's contacts and reputation ensured that she had a ready made client base. Despite being unmarried, Amadine moved out of her parents' house and got her own apartment to avoid waking her family up when she gets late night emergency calls. She makes decent money as a horse doctor, and occasionally treats her family's ailments as well. Amadine knows people medicine, she just prefers treating animals.

Maireni and Amadine are still very close. Maireni's husband and children like her, and on days when she doesn't have a lot of patients, Amadine frequently babysits her nieces and nephews to get them out from underfoot. Maireni's second child, eight year old Daval, got the Varisian wanderlust in spades. He's a sweet kid, but an extremely curious one with a tendency to wander off. Two weeks ago Amadine took him with her to the Reefclaw Run fish market in Old Korvosa to buy oysters for dinner. She looked away for one minute to count out coin for the oyster seller, and Daval was gone. Normally Baji can track him down with his sensitive nose, but the smells of the fish market were too strong. So Amadine has taken it upon herself to find her nephew the old fashioned way. She bought a suit of scale mail and a buckler, strapped on her dagger and sling, and started combing Endrin Isle for signs of little Daval.

Friendly and polite, with a natural charm that attracts people despite her slightly unearthly presence. However, Amadine tends to keep personal information close and others at arm's length until she decides whether or not to trust them. People have befriended her with ulterior motives before, thinking that proximity to an aasimar would bring them good fortune or the gods' favor. That's one reason why she keeps her hair covered and pretends to be human now. She's more likely to trust Varisians and other marginalized people than Chelaxians, dwarves, or elves. Although she wants to help everyone with her magic, hard experience has taught her that that isn't possible, and being known as a Varisian spellcaster can be dangerous in Korvosa. She's a bit insecure that the vast magical potential her grandma saw in her never manifested. Every time Amadine asks the spirits about it, the answer is the same. The stars are not yet right.

Like most of her family, Amadine is fond of animals, especially her familiar Baji. Most of her relatives took a while to warm up to the rat, and some never did. Treating Baji well- or better yet, cooing over his cuteness- always wins brownie points with Amadine. She enjoys music, although she doesn't have the typical Varisian skill at performing. and she loves good food a little too much.

Amadine is a beautiful Varisian woman, slightly taller than average and a bit on the plump side. Although she appears youthful, something about her demeanor suggests that she's older than she looks. Her eyes are deep violet, her hair black with silver strands scattered throughout. Not white or gray, glittering metallic silver. She usually keeps her hair covered with a scarf or hat to avoid people trying to pluck a strand for good luck. Her bond with a heavens spirit makes her eyes sparkle like starlight and gives her an otherworldly aura. With her hair covered, Amadine can pass for human. Varisians are known for strange eye colors; violet shows up much more often among them than other human ethnicities.

Amadine likes billowy blouses, full skirts, and colorful jewelry in the traditional Varisian style, and always wears a carved wooden holy symbol of Desna. Lately, though, she's been venturing into the more dangerous parts of Korvosa in search of her brother. This requires armor and sturdy woolen shirts and trousers, cut so as not to impede her movements and dyed in dark colors to hide the inevitable stains. Even her working clothes boast tone-on-tone embroidery in the style of her people.

Father: Ruslo Steleanu, retired Varisian horse trader. He gave Shooting Star Stables to Maireni a few years ago, but he's still active in the business. His cousin Pacuaro runs Shooting Star Ranch several hours ride outside the city, where he and his family breed and train the horses that Shooting Star Stables sells. Ruslo is proud of his shaman daughter, but fears for her safety as an aasimar and divine spellcaster in a city that embraces infernalism. A devout Desnan, although he also pays homage to Rowdrosh.

Mother: Cinamenta Steleanu, retired Varisian horse trader. Like her husband, she still helps out with the stables, but these days she spends more of her time caring for her grandchildren and doing good works in the community. Tends to fret over Amadine, but has resigned herself to the fact that the spirits chose her daughter. Also a devout Desnan.

Grandmother (deceased): Daiona Steleanu, shaman of the ancestors. She recognized the potential in Amadine when she was born, and saw that the spirits were attracted to her. Daiona took it upon herself to teach her granddaughter, both to pass on her knowledge and ensure that a malicious spirit wouldn't bond with the child. Died in her sleep five years ago.

Elder Sister: Jaelle Bourean, leatherworker, 38. Time, perspective, and her own adventures in parenting have mellowed Jaelle's attitude toward her sister. While she's still not as close to Amadine as Maireni is, their relationship is amiable enough. Jaelle and her husband Kaldri are leatherworkers specializing in tack and harness. They have five children.

Younger Sister: Maireni Steleanu, Varisian horse trader, 34. Maireni inherited their father's love of horses along with the family business, and she and her husband are doing a good job maintaining the Steleanu reputation for quality steeds. A condition of her marriage was that her husband Camlo take her last name, which he accepted. They have four children; Hanzi (11), Daval (8), Corolenia (6), and Daiona (3, named after Grandma).

Nephew: Daval Steleanu, 8. Daval is a very curious child who got the Varisian wanderlust in spades. He's constantly wandering off to explore and giving his parents and sisters heart attacks. Normally Amadine's familiar Baji can track him down by scent, but this time the smells of the fish market were too strong. Daval has been gone for weeks now, and everyone's sure something terrible happened to him.

Best Friend: Tasarla Ionescu, master weaver, 36. A neighbor and part of Korvosa's Varisian community. Tasarla is a cheerful, easygoing sort of person who never treated Amadine any differently for being an aasimar.

============Description============
Height: 7'6" | Weight: 447 lbs. | Hair: Black, slicked back; black handlebar moustache | Eyes: Pale blue | Age: 34
Pic for inspiration.

Kraig. Is. Gigantic. A mountain of a man with ox-like shoulders, a thick neck, barrel chest, and arms like oak trees. His skin is sun-browned by countless hours on the sunny docks of Korvosa, his hands huge and calloused, dwarfing even the most generously sized tankard. Despite his imposing size, his slicked back, short cropped, jet-black hair and waxed handlebar moustache sitting above an anvil-like jaw gives him a professional, though casual, appearance. His eyes sit half-closed with casual confidence. Laugh lines crease his face from countless shared jokes in the tavern. He moves with surprising grace for one so large, easily navigating crowded common rooms and overly-busy kitchens. He gives the impression of warmth first, wrecking ball second, complimented by a friendly, rumbling voice built to carry over music and merriment.

He dresses like a brewer ready for a brawl to break out: a deep red work shirt, open at the neck with sleeves rolled to the biceps, a heavy sea-green apron fitted with brass buttons and buckles and fixed in place with a red, knotted sash. He carries no weapons for he needs none.

============Personality============
"Friend, you’re about three words from meeting the floor. Better pick three good ones."

Kraig is a gentle giant, his personality is as large as he his. Laughter announces him wherever he goes. He has countless friends, always bringing people together, believing happiness should be shared. He embodies the tenets of Cayden Cailean and enjoys the simple things in life; courage, loyalty, freedom, good food (but not too much), good ale (but not too much), and good friends (never enough). He is an endless font of bravery and questionable advice. He will share a loaf of bread with the hungry, or enjoy a drink with the sorrowful.

He tries humor before he tries arguing, tries mercy before he tries muscle, not because he doubts his own strength but because he respects it. Always looking for a peaceful solution, a bully meets his smile first. None of that is to say Kraig will turn down a good brawl. Kraig is always ready for a good brawl and quick to jump to the defense of the defenseless. While he plays a bit of a buffoon, he is no fool, with a keen eye for deception.

============Story============

Born in the Shingles district of Korvosa to first generation immigrants, Kraig was always the largest child in any room. His father, Halder Ironsson, was a stevedore who could lift crates that took three other men to move, while his mother, Marta, worked the fish markets with a voice that could cut through the din of the crowded market docks. He grew up hauling cargo alongside his father, work that taught him that honest work and honest ale are key pillars of life. Kraig was always a big boy, but his parents taught him that strength without kindness is only masking for ones own weakness. By the time he was seventeen he could out-work three men and out-drink four.

One evening Kraig came upon a pressgang trying to abduct a group of drunks. Kraig intervened. The ensuing brawl was finally ended when Kraig wrenched a piling free from its post and wielded it as easily as a poet wields a pen. It also left him with a split lip, two broken ribs, and an epiphany: sometimes the gods put you right where you need to be.

A traveling priest of Cayden Cailean - Brother Tommas - witnessed the brawl. He recognized something in the young brawler, not the obvious strength, but a spark of divine purpose. He took Kraig under his wing and, with his tutelage, Kraig learned to embrace Cayden Cailean's teachings. For five years, Kraig studied and served, dividing his time between work, the small temple of Cayden Cailean in Old Korvosa, and the rough taverns where his ministry was most needed. He learned to channel divine magic through his massive fists, to bless ale and break jaws with equal reverence. His reputation grew: the giant who'd buy you a drink with one hand while tossing troublemakers out with the other.

The tavern came to him like a gift from the gods. The Sodden Hippogriff belonged to a surly, bitter old dwarf named Ironjaw. It was never a respected establishment - indeed it was one of the rougher dockside taverns in the city - and the dwarf had let it rot into a den of cheap rotgut and even cheaper company. Nevertheless, Kraig saw potential in the cracked foundation and rotting timbers. He also saw potential in its location, a rather busy throughfare on the waterfront in the Midland district, with more than enough potential clientele to turn a profit. Using every copper he'd saved, plus a "divine loan" from his temple (and possibly some winnings from bare-knuckle boxing at the Sticky Mermaid), he leased the establishment.

The renovation took six months. Kraig did most of the work himself, having learned something of carpentry from a life around ships. The bartop was made from a beautiful plank of Mwangi darkwood, recovered from a merchants ship that had sunk some years before just off the coast, and it made a superb centerpiece for the bar. He cleaned up the customer base as well, turning the problem bar into a well-regarded establishment, and he kept a tight reign on the sailors that managed to wander in. The Hippogriff also gained popularity with both the Korvosan Guard and the Sable Company, which were generally welcome company. The Hippogriff became a place where both sides of the law could comingle in relative peace, as Kraig was quick to toss out troublemakers. The tavern became a cornerstone of the neighborhood. A plaque of simple rules hangs over the bar. "No blood on the floorboards, no magic at the card tables, no tabs over a week old." He started brewing his own mead, which served both as a way to save money on inventory and as adequate worship of Cayden Cailean. He found he had a knack for not just brewing, but alchemy, and it wasn't long until he was spinning spells into alcoholic potions.

But Korvosa is changing. The city grows darker, more dangerous. Strange disappearances, corrupt guards shaking down honest folk, and whispers of something rotten in the nobility have Kraig concerned. His tavern has become an unofficial sanctuary, a place where the common folk can speak freely and find an ally in their giant proprietor. He's not looking for trouble, but he knows Cayden Cailean didn't become a god by standing idly by when evil showed its face.

Tragedy struck the Ironsson family six months ago. Kraig's niece, Lysa - daughter of his sister, Sanna Haldersdottir - disappeared from the docks one cool and sunny morning. A frantic search turned up nothing, and the Guard, while sympathetic, assumed she had been murdered or impressed. The guard closed her case, but Kraig's family did not give up hope. Kraig maintains connections throughout the city: dock workers who tell him about strange shipments, guards who appreciate a free drink and a sympathetic ear, street children who know he'll always have yesterday's bread and today's protection. Of late he has heard rumors of a girl matching Lysa's description seen in the company of other urchins known to work for the vile criminal Gaedren Lamm. If there's one thing the Bull cannot stand, it's people who prey on children...

Traits
Seafarer
You’re familiar with treacherous coastlines, currents, and tides and can use that knowledge anywhere.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Knowledge (geography) checks while on the ocean. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on Swim checks, and Swim is always a class skill for you.

Missing Child
You suspect that a child you know has been abducted.
Missing Daughter: The missing child is your own son or daughter, a niece or nephew, or the son or daughter of your superior or employer and one you had been charged with protecting. The child was abducted during a trip to the market or some other daily event. Long hours spent searching for rumors and your stubborn will to continue grant you a +1 bonus on Will saves.

Rich Parents
From a wealthy family, you enjoy a one-time benefit to your initial finances.
Benefit: Your starting wealth increases to 900 gp.

Drawback
Family Ties {The Lewon Family}
Your family is extremely important to you, and you feel disheartened when you can’t do what they ask.
Effect(s) When a family member makes a request of you, you must fulfill that request or take a –2 penalty on all Wisdom– and Charisma-based ability checks and skill checks until you either do what was requested or succeed at a DC 20 Will saving throw, which you can attempt once per day at the start of each day. You can’t take this drawback if you have no family. If you ever lose your family or lose contact with your family, exchange this drawback for the Doubt drawback..

There are three possible paths I could take with Prax and I haven't decided which one to go with yet.

1. U-Rogue 5 or 6 -> Rose Warden 10 -> back to U-Rogue if the AP goes past level 16.

2. U-Rogue 3 -> Inquisitor (Milani) with Sanctified Slayer and probably Urban Infiltrator archetypes. Probably the Liberation domain although
the Clandestine inquisition looks good too.

3. U-Rogue 3 -> Slayer with the Stygian Slayer archetype. Deific Obedience and Diverse Obedience (Milani) feats included.

I can see pros and cons for each of the paths so it's hard to know which to choose. If my character is selected and then if it's alright with you, I'd like to keep all three open as options until it's time to choose. It would help to be able to look at party composition in case there are specific things that need covering.

Regardless of which one, they all play like variants of a sacred rogue character.

Thanks for approving Mostly Human sylph for Mardrezi.

Character background is the same except that part of his goal still includes making Gaedren Lamm pay for taking Carmelita away from him, as well as whoever carried out Gaedren's order to kill the love of his life.

See Mardrezi's profile for his background story.

URBAN RANGER
For the urban ranger, the streets and sewers of the city are just as dangerous as the barren wastelands or the deep forests. An urban ranger has the following class features.
Urban Ranger: At 1st level, an urban ranger adds Disable Device and Knowledge (local) to his list of class skills and removes Handle Animal and Knowledge (nature) from his list of class skills.
Favored Community (Ex): At 3rd level, the urban ranger forms a bond with a community. While inside the limits of this community, he gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (local), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks. An urban ranger traveling through his favored community leaves no trail and cannot be tracked (although he may leave a trail if he so desires).
At 8th level, and every five levels thereafter, an urban ranger may select an additional favored community. In addition, at each such interval, the skill bonus and initiative bonus in any one favored community (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2.
For the purposes of this ability, a community is any settlement consisting of 100 or more individuals. The community may be larger than this minimum. Outlying farms, fields, and houses are not considered part of a community. This ability replaces favored terrain.
Trapfinding (Ex): At 3rd level, an urban ranger can find and disable traps, as the rogue class feature of the same name. This ability replaces endurance.
Push Through (Ex): At 7th level, an urban ranger is never slowed by difficult terrain in his favored communities. In addition, he can move through the space occupied by local citizens as if they were allies. This does not apply to creatures intent on harming the ranger. Areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect him. This replaces woodland stride.
Blend In (Ex): An urban ranger of 12th level or higher can use his Stealth bonus in place of a Disguise skill check in any of his favored communities. This disguise does not take an action to don. He must make a check whenever someone attempts to pick him out from the local citizens. If his check is successful, he blends into the crowd. While not invisible, enemies do not notice his presence and take no actions against him unless they are taking actions against the local citizens in general. This replaces camouflage.
Invisibility Trick (Sp): At 17th level, the urban ranger can cast greater invisibility on himself as a wizard of his ranger level as a swift action. He can use this spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to his Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). This ability replaces hide in plain sight.
