Here's my gnome illusionist concept:

Gimblethorp Boddynock ('Gimble' to his friends) led a quiet, sheltered life in the idyllic gnome community of Sipplerose in the Sanos Forest. Gimble spent his formative years studying the arcane arts of the illusionist, with the goal of one day becoming one of the community's guardians like his parents. However, a part of him secretly wished to travel the world like his uncle, Dimble Boddynock, a member of the famous (or infamous) Pathfinder Society. As the years of his training came to a close, Gimble found this desire to run away and see the world becoming more and more attractive. Within two days of finishing his apprenticeship, Gimble gave into his wanderlust and set out for a life of adventure, promising to send word to his parents of all the wonders he would encounter.

Upon leaving the Sanos Forest, Gimble fell in with a wandering clan of Varisians near the town of Nybor. The group took a liking to the affable young gnome, and he has spent the past few months traveling with the band across Varisia, taking in the sights with wide-eyed wonderment. Now the caravan has arrived in the town of Sandpoint looking to trade art and curios from their travels and to entertain and perform small jobs before heading out to wherever the road may lead them next.


I'm rather new to PbP, and don't own any of the Paizo APs, but I am familiar with 3.5. How about a gnome wizard (or illusionist)?

By the way, how detailed of a background is needed/desired? I understand that there is a Players Guide to Rise of the Runelords that is a free download - should we look at that?

Thanks!
