I'm finally finishing this campaign after two years, and now that I've a better perspective on it...well, it might make for a fun story. Or a useful one.
Or just some content to procrastinate with, if you're like me!
First, the PCs!
Build constraints:
20 points build
2 traits (1 campaign, 1 other)
Possibility for a 3rd trait by taking a drawback.
All Paizo material legal until otherwise noted. I'm a big fan of using anything I can find to refine a character concept, and of helping others do so.
Medium XP, trying to stay to the books' progression rate. While there are 3 PCs, I count the two cohorts as a PC for encounter building and xp division, and NPC companions can alter this as well.
A few major houserules on Mythic, particularly regarding action economy: no additional action with Amazing initiative, no Legendary item. Can't remember the other ones, but that's essentially it.
Kasidra Faragil: female pitborn tiefling (half-succubus) cavalier Order of the Lion, and Mythic Marshal. She had been raised by a foster father in one of the noble families of Mendev, her real father having disappeared in a mission in the Worldwound, and her mother being - understandably - a sensitive subject. She had the stereotypical red skin and horns, but her father's aura was enough to enable her to earn at least a modicum of respect in the Mendevian army. She was just promoted to captain and was eager to prove her worth on the 5th Crusade. She is just, but harsh, and has an ingrained hatred for the trickery of demons.
Thoradin: male dwarf paladin of Torag, Mythic Champion. He was raised by the clergy of Torag, after he was saved from the experimentation of demonists, and enrolled with many others to fight the demons, far in the north. Has a magnificent beard, but his integrism and hatred of demons and any of their allies sometimes pushes him too far.
Note: this somewhat lacking backstory is the reason I now ask for a minimum of details before accepting a concept.
Rock Smuggler: can you sense the winner of the worst backstory? A male half-elf Swashbuckler, Mythic Trickster, was a mercenary, and was finding himself in Kenabres completely by accident, but decided to stay for the ceremony, looking for work opportunities. Apart from that, he was quite the womanizer, bringing a bit of fun into the party, but also a lot of sarcasm and overall was kind of annoying, especially to female NPCs.
Iques Unajoinus: Iques was a bit of a strange case. A male android witch, Mythic Archmage, he was found by a couple of Riftwardens who got interested in him, and managed to reactivate him, and also raise him as their son, even if he was an adult at the time. By the time the 5th campaign started, he was already an herborist and alchemist, but his powers came from the cat that was never far from him. He had trouble understanding emotions, but realized his best survival option was to help fight the demons. Over time, he came to learn about what humans call "feelings", though.
Zakir: a male sarkorian Hunter, Mythic Guardian. He was the sole survivor of his tribe, and heard about the 5th Crusade. He took it as the opportunity to help free his ancestral lands, and both him and his companion stag were on Kenabres main square to join the crusaders. Zakir was the moderating influence, and always thought of the justice of his decision before taking them. He was also the one stopping the most...murderous tendencies.
