Background:
As a child, Ovarik was kidnapped by a cult of Drow diablerists. After many days of captivity and torture at their hands he was rescued, but the experience left an indelible mark. His hatred of elves and the arcane ate away at his mind. From that day on he trained to fight arcane spellcasters with all his might. His hatred of the dark elves overriding his society's hatred of goblinoids, he spent years hunting the Underdark in search of vile Drow Sorceresses (and Sorcerers).
In his travels he learned much of the ways of magic and how to fight it. He eventually traveled aboveground to continue his fight agains power hungry magicians. When he heard of the masked wizard, he trained to face him and end his rule, only to be passed up when the team was chosen. Now word has reached civilization that the first team failed in their attempt and have passed on. With a new team forming to take on the vile wizard in his time of weakness, Ovarik has come forward once again to do battle against these power hungry forces.
Name: Ovarik Glandaur
Race: Dwarf (58 years)
Class: Barbarian (superstitious) 18
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Backstory: Tortured by a Drow cult as a child, Ovarik grew up with a distaste for arcane magic. As he grew up he trained to fight spellcasters. More background to come.

Sad that this seems to have died such a premature death. Hopefully our GM will rejoin us before we start to lose players. I know the servers have been acting up. Maybe he's just been having bad timing with access.
"Aye, the lighter we are, the better we can maneuver."
Ovarik begins to grab bundles of lumber and toss them over the rail. He gives a pained look whenever he sees a metal fitting or pin go over with the wood.
He sighs, "Ach, t'is not so much the work, but the raw material that I will miss. Who knows where this metal will wind up, t'is a shame to loose it all."
He pockets a few easily separated chunks of steal, but he knows he can't carry much, his pack is already weighed down by this portable forge (the anvil alone coming in at over 7 stone).
My only observation to you would be that it looks like many of the social skills are going untrained. At the moment Devans base charisma is making up for it but you may want someone to invest in bluff, sense motive, disguise, intimidate etc.
I wouldn't be very helpful there, maybe Sense Motive, but Ovarik is not the charismatic one.
Ovarik watches the mist flow over the bow of the Ascension with a feeling of dread. He hated sea travel. "Dwarves were never meant to sail. Too much sky, I miss a good stone roof over my head. And a floor that doesn't move."
Two days on the retreat until they reached the ships, three days at sea, the horrible storm three days ago, and now this. Ovarik was no longer certain that he would return to to caverns. "Not again."
He moves to the center of the boat, holds up Torag's hammer, and casts bless. He sets his pack on the deck and wraps the straps around his arm. "I've done what I can now, let's hope I can keep dry."
I hate to say it, but Devan's skills can't be correct. By that list he has Ranks in 39 skills that can only be used trained. Even with an 18 Int he should only have 30-32 skill points to distribute. The Duettest archetype looses bardic knowledge.
Nope, totally wrong. Forgot that Craft is technically usable untrained. Never mind.
Thanks for to selection.
Once folks have finalized aliases, we should coordinate skills and skill sets to make sure we aren't missing something important.
Had a couple people indicate that they were planning on submitting but I wasnt able to answer their questions in time so I am going to leave this open until Friday to give those people a chance. I will review over the weekend and let everyone know on Sunday!
I think I covered most of this in the description section, but here is an expanded version
Personality
Conflict: Ovarik fights for the protection of his family/clan. This can include an adopted family such as an army unit or shipwrecked crew.
Challenges: Always a perfectionist, he won’t declare a project complete until he is satisfied that it is his best possible work. Any time equipment breaks he feels it must be fixed first before going on to anything else
Attachments: He has a family back in the dwarven caverns. A sister and nieces and nephews. However, his primary attachment is his work with the forge and protecting his troops.
Passion: His passion is the forge and the creation and maintenance of equipment that will protect the warriors and civilians within his clan or adopted clan.
To use the personality guide you suggested
Primary Motivator: Service (to the church of Torag and the protection of his “flock”)
Emotional Disposition: Calm (best choice, he has fits of Joyfulness and Anger, but he is mostly a calm, concentrating person)
Moodiness: Phlegmatic
Outlook: Optimistic
Integrity: Conscientious
Impulsivness: Controlled
Boldness: Intrepid
Agreeableness: mostly Disagreeable, unless he likes you
Interactivity: once again, mostly Reserved, but if he likes you he will be Engaging
Conformity: Conventional (he is after all a LG dwarven priest of the forge)
