Hi! This is my very first message. I'm not a native English speaker so please excuse me for any mistakes I might make.
I'm about to start the War of the Righteous campaign path, and I think I need some advice on both character build and concept, because I'm not sure if it is playable. I have to add, though, that my group and I are really into dysfunctional, broken characters.
I really like the code for the paladins of Shelyn, so I decided to play one. My idea is a human paladin that thinks that, as an agent of Shelyn, he's not allowed to have any negative emotions (wrath, hate, envy, anger, etc) and represses them in a rather unhealthy way. He feels envious and resentful of all the other people who can show this emotions, then angry at himself for feeling envy, then angry at himself for feeling anger, and so on. He copes by putting of a façade and behaving like an incredibly cheesy all-loving do-gooder.
As for the build, I don't really know what to do. We have a witch and a wizard (I don't know their builds) and another player who hasn't decided yet. We rolled 4d6 for the ability scores and I was really lucky. My scores are 12, 13, 14, 15, 15 and 16. I appreciate any advice.
Thank you in advance!

You can go with this
Str 15 Dex 12 Con 15 Int 14 Wis 13 Cha 16
Both Oath of Vengeance and Oath against Fiends are good for this AP. You'll want high CHA for smite evil as the path is full of evil outsiders and other (mostly evil) monsters. Swinging a greatsword is a great way to cut through demons with Power Attack (or Mythic Power Attack). By level 6-7, you can easily dish out 70-100 HP damage in one round (with Sudden Attack if you follow a Champion path). Seeing as you have a witch and a wizard, you'll either be a tank or a primary damage dealer. Any variant of an aasimar race is good (notably angelkin aasimars).
