I've drafted a sorcerer and a wizard, but I'm not sure what to pick. Playing with a rogue and barbarian in a pirate themed setting. GM doesn't really want to us to play casters, but if the backstory fits he'll allow it (discouraging the others). Using mostly Core Rulebook (20 pt. buy), and asking for a few oddballs from Advanced and Ultimate books.

Character fluff for those who care:
The wizard spent his years in a dream state, connected to ancient trees. One day he managed to transcend to the true present, waking up in the process (think Matrix). His hands are whitering away (low STR), and he attempts to come to terms with his own mortality. Angry with his elders, who would have let him die in that state, he exclaims that he did not choose this. "Very well, then we shall present you with a choice. 1. You cooperate with us in an attempt to reconnect you with the ancients, 2. You travel the world, get some perspective, and return sooner or later to revisit option 1. There is no option 3." Free to leave, he walks with a vow to never have his feet planted too firmly in the ground. Two weeks later he has managed to grasp what it means to be independant, and makes a living by trading knowledge. Eventually he stumbles upon pirates. Perplexed by this subset of humans, he wishes to join their effort in order to discover what is beyond the mundane (low WIS). Essentially it's always going to be 'Wizard Elf guy who happened to be there', but it's better than nothing.
The sorcerer possesses the heritage of planeswalkers (MTG), but was born into a family of high ranking marine (anti-pirates). DM told me he had to be rebelious and evil to make it from there, he wanted a rivalry subplot. I agreed, but it had to be subtle. - Don't be fooled though, it was my idea.
