Free-Bastian, Halfling, Cleric of Desna (Travel and Liberation Domains) or Oracle of Nature - either one would work. I was initially thinking cleric, but after working out the back story I think that the oracle might make a solid option.
Appearance:
He is small and thin even for a Halfling. He has a tuft of fiery red hair that naturally stands up on his head. His gear appears beaten up, but solid. The only two things that he wears that stand out for being so clean and new looking is a small silver butterfly holy symbol of Desna that he wears around his neck.
Personality: Bastian is a relatively quite Halfling, who is a bit surly because of always being deeply concerned about how to free the most noble of slaves in the area. When he is in a playful mood or in the mood to piss someone off his speed of speech and quick whit make him good company. He is always a little skeptical of anyone who is not a Halfling, but is learning to trust again.
Goals: To find adventure and free any she may enconter who are being held or forced to do something against their will.
Backstory:
As he prepared the dinner stew for the ragtag group that now share this abandoned storage building, Free Bastian thought back over the past two months as the scent of the stewing rabbit begins to fill the small room. The shared experiences of Bastian and his friends working in the house and the gardens of the lord of the manor could have been worse. They could have been required to work in his fields or the mines. As long as the house help were agreeable and did not force the acknowledgement that they were they’re working against their own wishes. It was just another day at the manor when Bastian heard the lord of the manor talking with his friend about how he planned to claim, Rabilia, the new young Halfling female that had recently been brought into the manner to serve as one of the main cleaning workers. His discussion was crude and violent. Bastian worried for her safety, but didn’t know what to do. He just knew that he had to do something.
As he lay in his small bed in the room in the manor basement he shared with two other Halfling men who worked in the gardens, he tried to conjure a plan for how to protect Rabilia and his other friends from such terrible ever present threats of violence and abuse. As he lays on his bed staring out the window trying to rethink his situation for the 20th time that night with the hope that something would click in his head making him better able to save her without forfeiting both of their lives.
It was then, as he laid there in the dark, counting the stars that he watched a bright blue butterfly fly in the small window along the top edge of the room. The butterfly circled and circles toward Bastian who was lying prone in his bed. The moonlight cast a bright intrusion into the shadow room just as the butterfly lands on Bastian’s open hand. The birthmark on his hand began to glow and Bastian felt a jolt of energy moving through him. His thoughts and prayers had been answered. They would be helped in their effort to escape by the goddess Desna. With Desna at their side Bastian successfully got five of them away from the manor and ever since they have been barely getting by through theft and odd jobs in Brevoy.
During the month and a half that the group had located an empty building in which they could set up an impromptu shelter Bastian has been praying more and more and now finds himself beginning his trainings as a cleric of Desna with the local priest. During a prayer one night it came to Bastian that he must work to not only free other’s who are currently being held or worked against their own wishes. The best was to do that would be for him to respond to the call for adventures from the leaders of Brevoy. Adventures were being sought to help address problems and then establish a consistent governing presence in the area. Yes this would allow him to travel, an odd desire he has had since being touched by Desna, and provide him with the opportunity to create a place for people like him.
So after gathering the few supplies and resources he has Bastian purchases or procures what he can to make himself come close to looking the part of an adventure and prepared to set off. He will save lives and free people when their liberty is in doubt.
Stat rolling for Stavros. Will have alias and character sheet up by tonight sometime I'd imagine.
Any notion of when the IC thread will be up? I've never actually played in an AP before!

I'm going to pick the final character by the end of the night and also hopefully will have the other 2 characters proofed. Then as soon as I check the last person's character sheet, I figure we'll be good to start. So hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thaal is now included in my profile and i've settled on the Deception patron (i am however uncertain if Herolab prints the patron in the statblock. Maybe at lvl2 when it kicks in).
Concerning the hexes. The two given are misfortune and charm since they are incorperated in the backstory (misfortune saved her against the thug and the charm has sent of the people who has tried to capture her).
The healing hex is there to help with healing, but if we've got enough healing elsewhere i can swap it. Eventually i'm going for evil eye and cackle (and possibly slumber).
Hey guys, gave it a lot of thought, and I think I'm going to go with Lirisial Starsong as the final member. I just think she'll add an interesting element with the other characters. Wandslinger, feel free to use either set of numbers you rolled.
I really appreciate everyone's interest (even if it wasn't my game at first) and you all tolerating my hemming and hawing on the final "roster."
If we get another opening, I'll come post here first (though I haven't really been on Paizo's message boards enough to know if people keep checking old threads, since there's no e-mail reminder such as on CBR or other message baords).
The OOC thread is here.
Just need to check the last three characters and we can get this road on the show, as my dad likes to say.
Whoa. Oh, heck, for some reason my RSS feed didn't update and I thought no one was responding anymore. :(
I'll have the character stats up tonight, my time, gotta head to work in like 10 minutes.
There we go.
What are we doing for starting money? Regular class roll?

You can do max starting wealth for your class at first level. Looks like you're missing saves and attacks and AC, though I assume some of that is because you were waiting for gear.
Indeed. I added them now, thanks. I didn't include the full skills yet, just the ranks I invested. I'll get the full lineup with stat adjustments and such up later.
