After seeing the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie (which by the way is totally awesome and if you haven't seen it shame on you), it sparked an idea of making some themed characters. My local venture captain is responsible for the creation of Captain Andoran and other avenger-inspired pathfinder characters and I decided to take a whack at it with my specialized pathfinder team, the Guardians of Golarion.
I'll be getting these characters started off with Star-Lord (can't really think of a better/cooler name atm to make him PFS branded like Captain Andoran) but I have an idea of what the other members will be, at least the closest pfs legal approximations based on what I seen in the movie and the few times they have shown up in the new marvel cartoons on Disney XD.
Star-Lord
Human Starsoul BL Sorcerer/Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger/Eldritch Knight
Drax
Human or 1/2 Orc Brawler/Slayer with a smattering of Barbarian possibly?
Gomora
1/2 Orc Slayer
Groot
A not very intelligent Elf Treesinger Druid, and going to have to wear gear to hide the fact he's an elf and look more like a walking tree
Rocket
An abnormally hairy Halfing Gun Scavenger Gunslinger with a hat of disguise to hopefully finish the raccoon look
As I was thinking on my initial SL build I also thought to go sorcerer/rogue/arcane trickster but the only sneaky stuff we see him do (if you can call it that) is when he first gets The Orb. Beyond that I welcome any suggestions.
Could likely go with an awakened raccoon for Rocket, rather then a halfling, but thats just my opinion.
Well Drax is human in the comics but he's not in the movie. So he should reflect that. He favors knife much more than he does his fists so straight barbarian makes more sense.
Gamora is so teched up she could be an Android too. Slayer is spot on.
Groot would probably be a monster. He doesn't wield any weapons or use any skills really. They're all natural abilities of his race.
Rylden is right about Rocket being an Awakened Raccoon. Gun Scavenger makes sense as well.
Starsoul is cool thematically but Starlord has no special abilities and so magic doesn't make sense. Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger does though because of his goofy charm and lack of restraint and common sense.
