I've been spending this past week building a character that I would enjoy to play mechanically and rp.
I am an Aasimar (Angelkin). Determining my god will help me determine the background I create and if I kill my party member when I enter the group (More about that at the bottom).
Playing (Oradin) I chose the route of the Tranquil Guardian. One that trades his Smite Evil for Touch of Serenity.
As an Oracle I have chosen the Lame curse. My wings have to the carry my burden for my legs fall heavy with some form of guilt (blah blah).

Touch of Serenity (Su)At 1st level, a tranquil guardian gains Touch of Serenity as a bonus feat, even if she does not meet the prerequisites.
At 6th level, and every six levels thereafter, the duration of a tranquil guardian's Touch of Serenity increases by 1 round. Each round on its turn, the target may attempt a new Will save to end the effect. The duration does not stack; only the longest remaining duration applies.
This ability replaces smite evil.
Serene Strike (Su)At 3rd level, when a tranquil guardian confirms a critical hit, she may convert all damage from her attack to nonlethal damage, and when she does, she can activate Touch of Serenity through her weapon or unarmed strike. Using serene strike is a free action.
This ability replaces aura of courage.
Now I wanted to take the path of a guardian protecting my companions by taking most of the blows and being essentially there shield and rarely raising my weapon or hand unless to temperately pacify an enemy. I'm not afraid of taking a life but i believe there is a better way of approaching a situation.
The three gods I narrowed down are
Ragathiel: General of Vengeance
Shemhazai: Empyreal Lord of Vision
Arqueros: The Golden Bulwark
My friend in the group is a Anti-Cleric who only cares about becoming a lych (Meta Gaming) but we obviously know he is evil from his skeleton companion and Drow demeanor. If i join the party I am obligated to kill him unless if find another cause that takes me away from dealing with him. I can always deal with him as an end campaign thing. But I need to know which god I will follow so I can determine their enemies and take them as my own.
