Greetings everyone.
I've never myself created a sorcerer character and as such am not sure how to write in a decent background for them. I want him to have a Celestial bloodline as I've always been a fan of Celestials. Any ideas on how I should go about creating a simple background that would fit well with my prefered personality for him?
I wish for his powers to be of an ancestor azata for I want his personality to one of wandering, independence,a love of hunting out evil and aiding good and is always looking to further develop his powers. I want his alignment to be either CG or NG.

1- You are the descendant of one of those celestials that looks like red skinned saytrs (from the 3.5 monster manual). Everyone thinks you are actually a tiefling due to some subtle physical annomalies you have, reddish sking, short horns, jet black eyes that sort of thing. Your dad wandered off years ago, reinforcing the idea that you have less than noble parentage. When your mother died last winter you took to a life of wanderlust and general do-goodery.
2- You had a wonderful childhood no major disasters (that seem to plauge adventurers) however your parents died in a fire (which consumed most of your inheritance)in their will you learn an eagle delivered you to them one afternoon while on a romantic picnic, who praytell are your REAL parents. This works for cityfolk as well as rual pesants, rich or poor.
3- Your character is actually a star (like Claire Daines in Stardust), perhaps a minor star in a constellation of a diety, you gave up the majesty of the starry heavens to live in the muck and mire of Golarion alongside mortals. When you fell to earth, lost the ability to be a mass of superheated gas and take the form of a mortal, the powers that you do exibit are described by other mortals as socerous.

I really like this idea. I made a character a while back that used a similar concept- my character was originally a direct companion of a deity whose portfolio involved planar travel and experiencing life to the fullest. During his travels with the deity, he decided that he wanted to try and experience life on his own- not that he wanted to be alone, but he just wanted an opportunity to prove himself. So, his deity granted his wish, removing his memory and changing him to a much weaker mortal form and placing him somewhere else in the cosmos, knowing that some day they would meet again.

You were born in the Cheliaxian middle to upper middle class and the casual injustice you saw around you made you shudder, thought you never knew quite why.....after all everyone else seemed to be okay with what was going on around you, and noticed your strange good instincts.
In time, you joined a resistance cell, worked to undermine the authorities, and were betrayed. This is when you fled for your life, or rather was pulled away from further resistance by close friends as your other close friends were consumed in flames.
Since then you've traveled, occasionally fleeing Hellknights, but more often begining to understand that the world is indeed a rather big place. One you are just begining to understand fully.
You could start with the Aasimar race, with two human parents. If you have access to 3rd party material, Aasimar: Heirs of Glory has some good stuff in it, from Raging Swan Press. Namely, some things associated with each outsider you could be connected to.
