I want to make a melee holy warrior that follows Cayden. So what I had so far was a Tengu who was raised in an orphanage that was operated by Cayden's followers. Later the character is enslaved, then freed by drunk dwarfs that jokingly said they were priests of Cayden. At this point my character decides to become an agent of Cayden and vows to to serve the Drunken Hero For Great Justice by any means necessary.
I was having trouble really getting into this character until I thought of a vigilante of beer and good times. Sort of like a Zapp Brannigan/Punisher. I don't want to be a batman using clever tactics and unwilling to hurt anyone. I picture an angry anarchistic bird beer monster kicking down the door and chopping the head off of a brewmaster that uses slave labor to make cheap light lager beer. Or scolding parents when they withhold tasty ale from children.
Also, Tengu are suppose to look a lot a like, and sometimes humans have a hard time telling Tengu apart, but my character doesn't really get that. So he wears a ninja turtle type mask over his eyes, and he thinks that his friends can't tell it's him. Sort of like the Rock playing Superman on SNL (http://www.trilulilu.ro/video-divertisment/the-rock-is-superman) It's very obvious that it is him, but he thinks he is getting away with it. So in the surprise round, my character changes from mild mannered Linguistic Professor to two handed Katana wielding defender of ale, thirsty for justice.
So where I am at with the concept sort of requires a Wisdom dump, right? Or would it be intelligence to be like Zapp Brannigan or Michael Scott? But then I realized no wisdom no inquisitor spells.
I thought of an Oracle, but they really serve a domain instead of deity right? And I really liked inquisitor because they are sort of like Jake and Elwood who decided they were on a holy mission. My calling card would be leaving a gallon of Double Dwarven Dopplebock.
Also... this will be a PFS character, so I have to be semi optimized. I do not want to be dead weight. My main focus would be a striker.
So any advice? Is there an archetype or something that would be based off of Int or charisma?
I don't want to play a ranged character, Cayden's justice needs to be served up close, so my slain enemies' last smell is the beer on my breath.

1.)Play a drunken brute invulnerable rager totem warrior barbarian. You can rage for long as long as you keep drinking alcohol, you get DR equal to half your level (And what is a drunken warrior doing with uncanny dodge and trap sense anyway?), and you can take multiple totem rage powers.
2.)Play a Qinggong Drunken Master Monk. You can true strike or barkskin yourself to survive in melee, but you do wind up being wisdom focused.
3.)Play a fighter that drinks a lot.
Just my thoughts on the matter.

1.)
STR 16
DEX 14
CON 18 (16+2 human)
INT 09
WIS 10
CHA 07
This is with a human barbarian. You can re-arrange the dump stats or settle for a 10 DEX if you prefer to have more well-rounded stats.
2.)
Earthbreaker: 2d6 damage x3 crit nice range. You won't roll max very often though.
Greataxe: 1d12 damage, x3 crit and you will roll max more often then other options
Greatsword: 2d6 damage 19-20 crit so you crit more often.

I just wanted to point out that this is not true, the Totem Warrior archetype doesn't actually do anything after the FAQ.
I do however agree with the rest of it, it sounds like a great Cayden follower.
