--------------------
Traits
--------------------

Devotee of the Old Gods (Campaign): Osirion has a history stretching back over 8,000 years, and the deities worshiped today in modern Osirion are not the same ones revered in Ancient Osirion’s heyday—deities with names like Anubis, Osiris, Ra, and Set, among others. Your family never lost the faith of your ancestors, however, and your devotion to one of the deities of Ancient Osirion has helped keep the memory of Osirion’s past alive—a past that still lingers on in the untouched necropolis of Wati. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (religion) checks, and one of those skills is always a class skill for you. In addition, your faith in the old gods of Osirion grants you a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against divine magic.
Chosen skill: Knowledge (religion)

Osirionologist (Regional): You have studied the history of ancient Osirion, and may have even ventured inside one of the great pyramids. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (engineering) and Knowledge (history) checks, and one of them is always a class skill for you. In addition, you may choose Ancient Osiriani as one of your bonus languages.
Chosen skill: Knowledge (history)

--------------------

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You make attack rolls with the weapon normally.

Fighter 2
Power Attack (Combat): You can make exceptionally deadly melee attacks by sacrificing accuracy for strength.
Prerequisites: Str 13, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon.
When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2.
You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.

Fighter (Steelbound) 1
Steelbound Weapon: At 1st level, a steelbound fighter selects one type of weapon (such as shortswords, longbows, or heavy flails). He gains Weapon Focus with that specific weapon. Whenever he isn’t wielding or carrying at least one weapon of this type (the weapon can be broken but not destroyed), a steelbound fighter takes a –2 penalty to his Wisdom score and can’t benefit from his fighter class abilities (excluding bonus feats gained from fighter levels). Once the steelbound fighter’s weapon awakens (see steelbound awakening below), these penalties apply whenever the fighter isn’t carrying or wielding that particular weapon.
This ability replaces the fighter’s 1st-level bonus feat.

Fighter 2
Bravery (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a fighter gains a +1 bonus on Will saves against fear. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd.

Backstory
--------------------

Description: Sleek and muscular, Jabari is a well-toned warrior with a few scars, a carefully shaved head, a very slight beard and dark brown skin. He has an oval face and a narrow nose, small ears, and powerful shoulders.
Jabari attires himself in Osirian fashion, frequently wearing a loose robe and with kohl lining his eyes. When armed for battle he wears the armor inherited from his father: shining steel metal scales carefully knitted into lamellar, and he carries his father's hooked khopesh.

Hair: Black, shaved
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Age: 26

Background: Jabari is an exile returning home. His father was Osiriani, but was framed in an intricate political coup that forced him to flee from Osirion. He traveled to Andoran in hopes of living a better life and one day returning. He never did; instead he married, settled down, and raised his son according to his own ways.
Jabari is thus culturally Andoran, but raised with a great reverence for Osirion and many anecdotes passed down from his father. Like his father he studied combat and history, learned to pay respect to the gods of Osirion, and chose to become a soldier. Andoran, of course, always has need of soldiers, but his... cultural eccentricities... mean that Jabari did not fit in well among the ranks (especially since he insisted on the use of his ancestral weapon, the sword that his father brought along with him into exile).
Jabari worked in a modest home with his parents, helping his mother in the gardens and his father with caring for weapons and armor, as his father earned a living by selling his sword and his mother handled domestic tasks. He learned to shirk from neither and became not only a skilled fighter but a literate man with an appreciation for the simple work that makes life prosperous - weeding gardens, repairing clothes, cleaning house.
Always fascinated by his heritage, Jabari leapt at the opportunity to visit Osirion when news trickled forth of the opening of Wati and the chance for visitors to explore the necropolis with the blessings of the local authorities. He used his meager savings to purchase passage on a fast Andoran ship and, carrying the armor and weapons he inherited from his now-deceased father, he set out to become one of the chosen few who would have the chance to see the ancient world of Osirion firsthand.

Personality Traits: Jabari is generally congenial, though sometimes he plays up the "stern and suspicious Osiriani" stereotype for amusement value. He is used to hard work and does not shy from it. He has a deep respect for the culture and history of Osirion, even though he is not initially from there, and has made a concerted effort to fit in once more now that he has finally arrived.
Jabari has simple tastes: he likes beer, black bread, goat meat and yogurt. He is not especially picky and is used to living in difficult conditions, so while he keeps himself and his armor and weapons clean he isn't averse to slogging through sand or mud. He tends to be resigned about hardships.
Jabari is wary of strangers but loyal to friends. He is protective of children and indifferent to most animals (though he finds camels in particular frustrating).
