Another quote from the barbarian brainstorm:
"why are all the barbarian tribes human??"
The iconics have a high percentage of human characters, as does Golarion in general, and that in turn is reflected in the character options.
Ostog has an existing art, miniature, toy, as well as lore. When we gathered information on existing barbarians in PF, he came up as someone people might appreciate seeing.
Similarly, you can expect to see some characters from other PF APs and PF Tales when it's convenient and possible. AFAIK, Erik Mona, who plays Ostog, had nothing directly to do with that decision.
All that said, the blog last week did note that folks can create and print their own characters and roles now. So, yes, you guys should be making your own characters. :)
We have a huge choice of wetter or not to play these characters. Now that the drivethrucards custom characters are available to be made. I already have quite a few characters that I'm working on as we speak. Some of which are barbarians. That being said if you don't like them then don't play them, make your own that suit your playstyles and make powers that you like. As long as your making them for only you then image and/or miniature doesn't even matter.
