Let's have some character concepts for the Summoner/Eidolon!
In order to keep things readable, lets try to keep the descriptions simple and concise. No five paragraph background stories please... Well, unless its absolutely necessary for the concept that is.
Here's a few to start.
1: An aristocratic Summoner traveling the world, his Eidolon takes the form of a butler/manservant. Skilled (Proffesion butler) is a must.
2: A Summoner who wanted to be a Bard but doesn't have the knack for bardic magic, instead picking up summoning. He has a few ranks in Perform. His Eidolon acts as the singer/dancer/muse - pick whichever fits your concept.
3: A savage Summoner who beleives the Eidolon is a spirit/god and he serves it rather than the other way round. A "nature-y" type eidolon probably works best here.
4: A scholar who makes short term contracts with beings from beyond. i.e. a contract is one level and every time he levels he makes a contract with a new being (Eidolon changes). Might work best with the Evolutionist archtype.
5: An "everyman" Summoner who came into his powers(and eidolon) by accident and is slightly freaked out by it. A few Profession/Craft ranks for his humble beginnings. His eidolon is an eager to please genie like being. Think "I dream of jeannie".
6: Nervous, shy and easily bullied, this summoners eidolon is his repressed desires and rage. It looks like a beefier, angrier version of himself.

7: A young boy that travels the world summoning monsters to fight his battles for him. Every time he sees a new monsters he studies it and tries to summon it himself in order to have it fight for him. His eidolon is his favorite summon though, as a small, yellow, mouse like creature that has powerful electric attacks. As a quirk this young boy tends to avoid eye contact with anybody and dislikes tall grass.

12. Born minutes behind your stillborn twin, you have always felt their presence, although your parents thought you mad. Now you have learned to call forth your 'dead' twin, in a body manifested from spiritual energies.
13. A parent was touched by something called a 'chaos beast' that caused their form to nearly fall apart into a mass of tentacles and sensory organs and malformed limbs. Even decades after the cure, they claimed to still feel the 'thousand young of Nyarlatothep' wailing within them, having once tasted freedom. You inherited this sensation, and have learned to unleash the 'thousand young' in many forms, through your summoning abilities.

And, as one would expect, there's already a manga/anime with a similar plot.

24. The Darkness (Master Summoner) - this frightened young girl has clearly been the witness of too many horrible things. She keeps her small Eidolon close to her, especially in the dark, because that is when the Others will come. But when the Darkness grows too strong, the Eidolon disappears and the Darklings strike.
24. Alternately, the small Eidolon is a Darkling and he is constantly taunting and bullying the girl into summoning his brethren. And when she finally does, he merges with them to revel in the slaughter
25. Closer to the inspiration (Jackie Estacado) : a young man who discovered on his coming-of-age day that he had inherited a dark and terrible power. The small Eidolon is still a Darkling, but he has no need to tempt the man into summoning his brethren.

30. A young girl, possessed by a pair of powerful spirits that keep each other in balance - one good, one evil. When these spirits manifest, the girl's personality is subsumed - but which one will appear? (Wild Flower from Jade Empire as a Synthesist Summoner)
31. An apprentice wizard makes a mistake with a summoning and binds a minor outsider to his own soul. As he grows more powerful, so does it.
32. A child's parents make a deal with a powerful outsider to watch over and protect their unborn child. When he's born, a small outsider arrives to watch over him, forming a bond as they age together.
33. Through a little-known ritual, a follower of a dark god has learned to feed the life force of his enemies to a pet. As it devours more and more souls, the beasts's power increases until it's no longer a creature of this world.

27. Wrecked by guilt over an accidental death, a Summoner unwittingly creates his own tormentor to forever remind him. This Eidolon will protect him so he may somehow right his wrong.
PyramidHead Eidolon would be scary to see.....or perhaps silent hill is actually a gaint rogue Eidolon bound to the land that manifests when it detects large amounts of sin and guilt from an individual and forms its own mini-brood Eidolons to torment/redeem the person who enters
....Im a Genius, here is your campaign seed. Perhaps we can make this work when Mythic rules come out

These are great! Keep them coming guys.
54. A small female Summoner (either young or a gnome/halfling) whose eidolon is a large humanoid in strange bulbous headed armour. One of its hands is like a large drill. It is very docile except when she seems threatened, at which point even she has trouble keeping it in check.
