Name: Enkidu Marelegs of the Shriikirri-Quah
Race: Male Shoanti Human
Alignment: CG
Class: Oracle (Dual Cursed)
Mystery: Nature
Backstory: Born into the animal-wise Shriikirri-Quah, Enkidu was given the derogatory name 'Marelegs' for his stunted legs, so weak that he could hold himself atop no horse. When he came of age he was informed that he had been chosen by a druid to act as herald to one of the nobles of the plains, the great and wise Shakka of the Glen. The two were bonded in the manner traditional for their people, and Enkidu follows his lord as he moves through the world, seeking to find out one day why he was chosen for this honor, or else earn it himself.

And his master, who blesses him with permission to ride upon him when travelling,

Name: Shakka of the Glen
Race: Male Horse (Totem Guide)
Alignment: CG
Class: Animal Companion
Backstory: An enigmatic and old horse, Shakka has bonded with Enkidu and seeks to venture into the world and see more of it. He is driven by reasons and causes known to few.

Sample post The pair stand at the rear of the group; Enkidu to the side of his mount's head, the horse's eyes trained on the complaining townsman. After a minute, the horse turns and mumbles a few grunts and horse-noises into Enkidu's ear, as he nods and steps forward. "My lord Shakka believes that he has some knowledge that may aid in this..."

@Endiku- I was making a reference. I meant to say that Dervish Dance applies only to scimitars.

Gotcha. I'll drop out then, have a good game. And I do get the Monty Python reference, but since my question was about attacking others, a quote about others attacking me was a little confusing.

@Endiku - The Dervish of Dawn is a fighter archetype. You may certainly take it if you take fighter levels. EDIT: I found the bard archetype, nevermind. You may not use them both, as they overlap with different abilities granted. Also, the Dervish Dance feat only applies to attacks with scimitars. Are you prepared to defend yourself against fresh fruit if necessary? What would you do if someone came at you with a raspberry?

On to serious questions.
How did the palaadin slay anybody himself after weeks of brutality and torture, while presumably unarmed and unarmored?

Can't use them both, no problem. I more meant home-brewing by taking some features from one archetype and putting them in a second, but eh no big deal.

Sorry, your fruit-related comments have me confused. Are you saying that Dervish Dance gives you bonuses when someone attacks you with a Scimitar? Or are you concluding that Dervish Dance only allows you to use Dex for Scimitar attack and damage rolls?
The Paladin used Lay on Hands, grabbed an implement they were using to torture him and slew them all while Enkidu fought with one of them and distracted the rest. He was high-level enough to only need a distraction to escape.

Grand Lodge

Backstory: Born a slave to a noble family in Egorian in Cheliax, Enkidu lived an appallingly poor and tormented life, his only friend a small family of halflings who served with him. When the Bellflower Network came to free them, they took Enkidu with them. Enkidu spent the next few years on a gruelling trek across the country to safety in Andoran. Near the border, Enkidu and the halflings heard someone from a barn being hideously tortured by Chelish slavers. Armed with only a wooden pole, the young Enkidu charged in and tried to save the man. He distracted them long enough for the man to get to his feet and slay them all. Then, after weeks of torture and brutality, he asked if Enkidu was okay.

The man revealed himself as a Paladin of Sarenrae, the Dawnflower, and a member of the Pathfinder Society. Out of thanks for the youth's help, he gave him his old Wayfinder. Enkidu eventually reached Andoran, where he joined a church of Sarenrae to become a worshipper before joining the Pathfinder Society. Gaining skill, power and knowledge, Enkidu seeks to return to the country of his birth and try to understand it, and reform it with Sarenrae's light if possible, or burn it to the ground with Sarenrae's flame if necessary.
Personality: Enkidu is a young and inexperienced man, spirited and fervent in his beliefs. He is kind, passionate, quick to forgive and to jump to conclusions, and has a deep-seated hatred of slavery and oppression of others, particularly based on race. His favorite food is fresh fruit.

Name: Enkidu Noneson
Race: Male Half-Elf
Class: Bard (Dervish of Dawn)
Alignment: NG
Trait: Pathfinder Exile
Background and Personality: To come

Questions for GM:
-This wording from the Dervish Dance feat: 'When wielding a scimitar with one hand, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls'. Would you agree that it states that as long as you are wielding a scimitar in one hand and the other is empty, you can use your Dexterity modifier on ALL melee attack and damage rolls?
-There are two Dervish archetypes for the bard; the Dervish Dancer and the Dervish of Dawn. They've very similar, and I feel slightly incomplete. Any chance you would be willing to allow me to combine the two archetypes? Just thought I'd ask.

It's all cool. Good luck with it.

Grand Lodge

Tsk. Well, have fun fellas.

Out of professional pride, I am going to post a few things I was going to use to achieve a quite nasty level of damage, in case it wasn't immediately apparent.

Smite Evil
Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Cha bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.

Aura of Justice
At 11th level, a paladin can expend two uses of her smite evil ability to grant the ability to smite evil to all allies within 10 feet, using her bonuses. Allies must use this smite evil ability by the start of the paladin's next turn and the bonuses last for 1 minute. Using this ability is a free action. Evil creatures gain no benefit from this ability.

Litany of Righteousness
Calling down a litany of anathema, you make an evil more susceptible to the attacks of good creatures. If the target is evil, it takes double damage from attacks made by creatures with a good aura (from a class feature or as a creature with the good subtype). If the target also has the evil subtype; when it is hit with attacks made by creatures with a good aura, it is also dazzled for 1d4 rounds. If this spell targets a nonevil creature (or one that lacks the evil subtype), it has no effect, and the spell is wasted.

Sheet updated with some new background about his missions, and about when the Archon appears.

Grand Lodge

Description (Unfused): Enkidu is a tall and powerfully built young man with blonde hair worn in a military crop, blue eyes and a serious demeanor. He wears simple chain mail emblazoned with the hawk of Andoran atop a blue shirt and brown leather trousers. He wears thick black leather military boots. On his back are two swords, one almost as tall as he is and another suited for his grip. His voice is terse and used to command.
Description (Fused): With his new powers upon him, Enkidu is clad in gleaming golden full-plate armor, a blue tabard with a silver Andoran hawk atop it. Two circular bolts holding his shoulder-guards in place also bear the crest of Andoran. Behind him stream hawk wings, silver and ethereal with long ribbons flowing out behind him. His head is bare and unchanged.

Sheet converted to text, I'll write some more background for him and add a description.

Grand Lodge

@DM Jelani- just a question I know our Gunslingers will want to ask; would a Tentacle suffice for reloading weapons?

Grand Lodge

Happy to convert it for text, I just find it's easier to create sheets with my template rather than starting with text from the beginning. Question, do you need to have it in text before you would be willing to accept Enkidu, or can I wait until I know I'm in before I convert?

Grand Lodge

Here's Enkidu. Still need to flesh out backstory and personality, but the rest- including the character sheet- should check out.

@Validk- Jelani made clear that when writing your BACKGROUND, we should write it as if we are getting our Summoner powers later. I take that as meaning that for everything else, including the character sheet, build it as if we've been synthesists for all our careers. I may be wrong, but that's my reading.
