And here is my character, Grok.
He is an Oread Titan Fighter. He uses a Large size greatsword and specializes in fighting giants. More background will come soon, and I will make a full alias if selected.
I have a couple of questions/requests.
The character is an Oread, they are typically kind of short. I took the Giant-Blooded campaign trait. Would it be possible to have the physical giant blood changes be that I am really big? I put down 6'2" and 350lbs to reflect this, but I will change to Oread standards if needed. The RP visuals idea is that Grok looks almost like a gigantic stone carving of a dwarf, encrusted with semiprecious gems.
The second question is also related. With 13 int, as an Oread, I do not have access to Giant as a bonus language. Would you allow Giant as a starting language due to the heritage?

are we allowed drawbacks?
Edited: I derped.
I do believe I am going to be quite happy with my judo master- this or a martial artist, still not quite sure, the backstory is growing to be quite intriguing.

general idea- He grew up amongst a dwarf community in the mountain range near tranu, he was trained by the few monks they had as he was a child found as an orphan and taken in by the temple. Being trained by dwarves was a large boon for his abilities as their rigid discipline would mesh well with the life of a monk. eventually sets out to prove his worth/find parents/increase his abilities(seeking perfection)/take a message to a dear friend of one of his mentors living in tranu. whether or Not I choose martial artist or Maneuver master won't affect the background much. full story in a couple days
Racial Heritage is a feat, not a trait.
Dotting interest. I'm thinking either a Dwarvish Paladin or Bard. In a 6 person Party, Bards are worth their weight in gold.

Really interested in a Giantslayer. Here is my submission. Still needs equipment and fleshing out the background a little, but the plan is to take her Mystic Theurge at 4 and be the face/healer/controller with a focus on Enchantments.

Background (WIP)
Karra has had a rough life. At an early age her family was taken captive by a band of raiding Orcs. She lost both of her parents during their captivity and while she escaped with her life she was not unscathed. Aside from the emotional truama, the Orcs had broken her legs beyond repair. Broken and near dead, only her force of will driving her on, she ran into a caravan of merchants who took her in and cared for her until they reached their destination of Trunau. There she found a life. Although a young adult by human standards she was still a child. However, her apparent celestial heritage and innate magical talent, in addition to her beauty quickly found her a place in town at Agrit's House of Wonders. When not assisting the militia on her watch, or learning more about the arcane from Agrit, Karra routinly works in the Countinghouse and dealing with merchants. As such, overtime she has also been sent on trade routes as needed, due to her skills of diplomacy.
Apperance
Karra is a beautifl, petite woman. She has shoulder length blonde hair, that almost has a metallic golden sheen to it and entrancing hazel eyes. She commonly wears dresses and gowns to help disguise her less than functional legs.
Personality
Karra is extremely easy to get along with and very personable. Despite her rough start in life her strength of will and high hopes, tied with her celestial heritage gives her a positive outlook on life. Even with the hardships of Trunau Karra can routinely be seen helping to bolster morale and keep spirits high. She enjoys helping others and feels that with the abilities she has been granted since birth it is her duty to try and help and protect others. Since she doesn't have the physical prowess she instead relies on her wit, smarts and charm to solve problems.
Here is my idea for play. He is a Suli Bloodrager with the Element of Earth chosen for both his race and class. If picked I can flesh out his backstory a little more and tweak some things. Trying to complete this between work and home stuff. Thanks! Hope you enjoy and good luck to everyone!

Speed: 30 ft., Speed(Rage): 40 ft.
Special Attacks:
Elemental Assault (Su) [Acid]: Once per day as a swift action, a suli can shroud her arms in acid, cold, electricity, or fire. This lasts for one round per level, and can be dismissed as a free action. Unarmed strikes with her arms or hands (or attacks with weapons held in those hands) deal +1d6 points of damage of the appropriate energy type.
*While Blooraging - Elemental Strikes (Su): At 1st level, three times a day as a swift action you can imbue your melee attacks with elemental energy. For 1 round, your melee attacks deal 1d6 points of additional damage of your energy type.

Other Gear 60 gp
--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Energy Strike (Su) [Earth]: A Suli with this racial trait has a stronger connection to one energy type than to the other three used by Sulis. Choose one energy type: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. The Suli's elemental assault ability can only deal energy damage of this type. The Suli has resistance 5 to this energy type and no racial resistance to the other three types. While her elemental assault is active, the Suli gains an additional ability based on the chosen energy type.
Earthfoot (acid): Whenever the Suli moves through difficult terrain related to earth and stone (rubble, mud, sand, and so on), she may move through 5 feet of that difficult terrain each round as if it were normal terrain. This allows the Suli to take a 5-foot step into that difficult terrain. Other kinds of difficult terrain (ice, caltrops, foliage, and so on) affect the Suli normally.
Energy Resistance 5: Sulis has resistance to acid 5.
Negotiator: Sulis are keen negotiators, and gain a +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks.
Low-Light Vision See twice as far as a human in low light, distinguishing color and detail.
Bloodline [Elemental]: Each bloodrager has a source of magic somewhere in his heritage that empowers his bloodrages, bonus feats, and bonus spells. Sometimes this source reflects a distant blood relationship to a powerful being, or is due to an extreme event involving such a creature somewhere in his family's past. Regardless of the source, this influence manifests in a number of ways. A bloodrager must pick one bloodline upon taking his first level of bloodrager. Once made, this choice cannot be changed.
Bloodline Power when raging:
Earth Acid Burrow 30 feet
Bloodrage (Su): The bloodrager's source of internal power grants him the ability to bloodrage. At 1st level, a bloodrager can bloodrage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Constitution modifier. The total number of rounds of bloodrage per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours need not be consecutive. 6/day
Fast Movement (Ex): A bloodrager's land speed is faster than is normal for his race by 10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the bloodrager's speed due to any armor worn or load carried. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses to the bloodrager's land speed.
Background:
Slate Feldspar was left abandoned as an infant outside of the gates of Janderhoff on a dark night. He is the offspring of a human and jann. His human mother was killed and his genie father deposited him at the front gates. A single note was left with Slate. It read: “Slate Feldspar son of the earth.” Found by a patrol that night, Slate was taken into the city where clerics of Torag communed with their god to find the meaning behind the words son of the earth.
After many hours of prayer a glimpse of Slates life was bestowed to the clerics. His deep connection to the earth was revealed and the dwarves of Janderhoff decided to adopt him as one of their own. As he grew he came to learn many things about himself including his innate ability to resist acid and understand the earth. The role of fighting came naturally to him yet he always felt attuned with the elements and that of magic. His anger though was always something the dwarves could not train out of him. They found that he could be as violent as a storm or as steady as the earth. His emotions always showing on him.
When he came of age Slate began making trading runs to Trunau. He acted as a guard for the caravans. Eventually Slate decided to leave Janderhoff and settle in Trunau, believing that he could hone his fighting ability against his peoples most hated foes, the orcs and denizens of the Mindspin Mountains. He now works as a guard in Trunau pulling his weight and earning his keep slaughtering the regions deadly foes.
Appearance: Slate Feldspar stands 6’-5” and weighs 210lbs. His skin has a very dark quality to it with an almost hard rocky look even though his skin is not rough. He has brown eyes and his head is shaved. In honor of his adoptive parents Slate wears a neatly trimmed beard of pure black. Slate wears his emotions on his sleeve never truly able to hide how he is feeling. This comes from the torrent of elements within his body. Slate is steadfast and loyal when it comes to fighting. He will never leave a comrade behind even if it means giving his life. He holds a lot of the same beliefs that the dwarves hold however his choice in deities comes from his occupation and internal magical aptitude which has yet to be explored.
There are a lot of interesting ideas for play posted already! I really like Karra's background also!

Hello again, DM Mathpro! Just giving an update to let you know that I've finished writing Songan's history for Giantslayer. I've updated the profile with the relevant information but, for ease of your perusal, I'm going to spoiler it here. If you have a moment I'd appreciate if you'd give it a read and let me know what you think.
Songan has never been sure of his origins...he has been alone for as long as he can remember. As a youngster, he was forced to fend for himself, finding food and other necessities where he could, often finding himself on the wrong side of the local authorities. As time passed, however, many residents In the community he calls home began to talk to the solitary catfolk and, in the years hence, he's been more-or-less adopted by all the families there and they were all determined to see him raised well. Of course, it didn't stop him from getting into some measure of trouble, as orphans are wont to do; stll, the ultimate goodheartedness of the locals left a lasting impression on him and even though he's still occasionally found himself on the wrong side of the law, his life as an older child and teenager has been a great deal better than when he was very young.
Of course, he was not without his fantasies...for Songan, who has spent a fair portion of his life in relatively isolated obscurity, that fantasy has always been to be an explorer. He has often read of the exploits of the Pathfinders, daring adventurers who find their way into places unseen by mortal sentients for hundreds or thousands of years, and found himself fantasizing about being a member of their ranks and exploring the places they have explored, finding artifacts lost to civilization since time immemorial. It is with that motivation that he has moved to finally seek his fortune in life, and though he doesn't know a great deal about true exploration yet, he has learned enough about magical traditions and arcana that he feels he could recognize an artifact if he saw one.
Convinced that his best chance of finding his fortune will be to explore one of the nearby mountain ranges, and nearly immediately ruling out the Hungry Mountains for its proximity to Gallowspire, he has decided that his best and most immediate chance is going to come from the Mindspin Mountains in the Hold of Belzken, hoping that the presence of orcs, giants and other dangers not quite so severe as Tar Baphon have kept a great many explorers out of the area.
With that goal in mind, Songan purchased the supplies he felt would be beneficial in the starting of this new journey and headed out from Firrine with the goal of reaching Trunau in the Hold of Belzken and using it as a springboard to get him into the Mindspin Mountains, where he would attain his goal of finding fame and fortune...or die trying.
Here is my ranger, he will be going into skirmisher and wild shadow archetypes
let me know what you think.
Mathpro, long time no see. I am going to take a look at the player's guide and see what springs to mind. I should have something solid in a few days.

--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Channel Energy (SU): Positive energy heals the living and harms the undead; negative has the reverse effect.
Darkvision Half-orcs can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Enlarge (Su): As a swift action you can enlarge yourself for 1 round, as if you were the target of the enlarge person spell. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Intimidating Half-orcs receive a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate skill checks due to their fearsome nature.
Orc Blood: Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
Orc Ferocity: Once per day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points but not killed, she can fight on for one more round as if disabled. At the end of her next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, she immediately falls unconscious and begins dying.
Sacred Conduit: Your birth was particularly painful and difficult for your mother, who needed potent divine magic to ensure that you survived (your mother may or may not have). In any event, that magic infused you from an early age, and you now channel divine energy with greater ease than most. Whenever you channel energy, you gain a +1 trait bonus to the save DC of your channeled energy.
Storm Burst (Sp):
As a standard action, you can create a storm burst targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The storm burst deals 1d6 points of nonlethal damage + 1 point for every two cleric levels you possess. In addition, the target is buffeted by winds and rain, causing it to take a –2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Trunau Native: You were born and raised in the town of Trunau, one of the few human settlements in the orc dominated Hold of Belkzen. Orc attacks are an ever-present threat, and like all Trunauans, you have made the Standing Vow: to hold Trunau against all attackers, orc or otherwise, to stand your ground, and to live free or die trying. Upon coming of age, you were given a hopeknife—a small, sheathed dagger, usually worn on a chain under your clothes—and taught how to use it to take your own life to avoid capture by orcs, or to grant the mercy of a quick death to the wounded. As a native, you have served in Trunau’s militia, and fought alongside Patrol Captains Kurst and Rodrik Grath. You begin play with a hopeknife (a masterwork dagger), and your tenacity in the face of adversity grants you a +1 trait bonus on Will saves
Weapon Familiarity: Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions and treat any weapon with the word "orc" in its name as a martial weapon.
When Roseline was young, she lost her temper against a childhood bully who was teasing her about not having a father. She accidentally summoned a lightening storm, which struck the boy. He was fine, however the manifested power required the Council of Defenders to step in. After several long weeks, The council found her to not be a threat, but she would need to learn how to control her abilities. Everyday for five years Roseline was sent to mediate with Silvermane, the local druid who watched over the Hopespring.
While Silvermane did not say anything to Roseline, she did learn how to control her aggressive tendencies, instead turning that destructive prowess into a green thumb. Most anything that Roseline plants grows significantly larger than other plants from the same harvest.
Her sweetness carries a rage of its own, and she is equally quick to jump to defend the innocent or, more important, inflict punishment on those that take advantage of and injure others. Once she had determined that someone has crossed a line, be it through animal abuse or bullying, she does not stop before she considers justice having been served, despite the best efforts at times of her friends. During these times, she is unstoppable as the rivers that flow through the land, and in some cases has spent years attempting to exact her particular brand of justice.
I really like Roseline's background. Tying her into the silent druid is great!
Added gear.
Though an all dwarf party is mighty fun, I'm thinking there are way too few dwarves for a full party to begin with. This makes my beard sad :(.
But versatility is also fun ;)
Hey Slate has a beard and was raised by dwarves! :-) He is an honorary dwarf!
Fesks character sheet is up, and he is no longer a Kensai.. just a plain Magus with +14 stealth.
Decided against a katana Magus just because earlygame she'd have been kind of unbearable, so went with a Bard instead, reappropriating an old alias I had from a homebrew whose GM went poof. Mostly because I felt the name sounded Celtic-ey enough to be on-theme.
She exhibited a budding magical talent at an early age, but one neither parent, lifelong farmers, could foster, or afford to foster, leaving her to merely experiment and atrophy away her potential as she intuited a few simple spells from what she could muster within herself, and some dusty old books on the subject she could find. Hardly enough to satisfy her steadily increasing thirst for knowledge, straddled somewhere between scholarly drive and mere curiosity. Soon, she wasn't merely reading books about magic, but anything she could get her hands on, fascinated in particular by artifacts, mythical items lost to time or turning in the hoard of some ancient dragon. The stories fascinated her, filling her minds with ideas of heroism and bravery very beyond her capabilities as a farm girl.
A farm girl who hated farming, one should note. She didn't feel particularly cut out for field work, although she certainly wasn't above the physical exertion of self-teaching herself swordplay and archery. Her passion did a great deal toward making combat training enjoyable, explained away to her parents as curiosity and the consideration of becoming a soldier. An absolute lie, of course. She wanted to be a hero. Wander the earth in search of treasure and glory, to herself be immortalized in story and song.
Song quickly became another interest of hers, as her voice came through. Sweet and stirring, earning her quite a few silver pieces when she spent her free time in the Commons, singing for the soldiers as they trained. She was told her voice was inspiring, and not merely because there were young men eager to impress the sweet-voiced girl with their martial prowess. Even those with no intentions toward the girl claimed that courage and drive welled up in their hearts as they heard her song, which put ideas and hopes into the girl's head. Heroes whose performances could stir greatness in warriors were hardly unheard of in stories, and perhaps she could find a career in that. Wandering the land, a bard for hire who could earn her way with her voice as much as her blade.
A pipe dream her parents would never let her pursue, as she came into adulthood and still found herself toiling away at the farm, given more freedom than a child but still shackled to her life and to expectations. To take a husband when she instead wanted to take journies, to harvest crops instead of seeking treasure. A disappointing life, but one she could clearly do little about, at least until the opportunity somehow presented itself.
Rhiannon is a flighty, optimistic young woman who tries to find a lot to be joyful of. Her upbringing in such a dour city under constant danger has left her trying to make the most out of life and find happiness wherever she can, hoping that in being cheerful she can inspire the same in others. Beyond her youthful, unstamped-out optimism is a shrewd trickster, hiding her cleverness behind innocence and a smile. If given an opening, she will exploit it, likely teasing whomever her poor victim is while she does. Even in the midst of combat, she can find time for laughter and whimsy.

Well you have at least one dwarven cleric... enough said!
I'm aware that this is a "Giantslayer" AP, but I also read somewhere that dragons do have a subplot within the AP, and so thought that with everyone creating characters to tie themselves to the giant plot, I might create a character that has a relationship to dragon that appear to be within the AP.
Considering the experiences Kaliyah Fafnir had when he was just a boy, it is perhaps no surprise that he ended up a priest of Apsu. Seeing the great wyrm Daralathyxl lay waste to his village as he was just a boy, during one of the the dragon’s unpredictable rampages, is an experience few would forget and one that quickly shaped his life. Struggling to adjust to the knowledge he would never see his family again, Kaliyah clung to his desire to right the wrong that had been done to the world, although how he could achieve this was beyond him. Deciding that a good starting point would be learning about the creatures themselves, Kaliyah travelled to one of the great libraries of Tar-Kazmukh and began to study. The research was hard going, but Kaliyah had always been a particularly driven sort of individual and persevered, eventually coming across some teachings of the god Apsu. Reading further, he learnt of the struggle between the two different factions, Kaliyah emphasised with Apsu, and decided to apply himself to act as a divine conduit for his will. Greatly troubled by the violence between the two factions, Kaliyah was determined to put a stop to the fighting, however possible. Subscribing to the view that the fighting could only stop once both parties could see what the war was costing them, Kaliyah set out upon a dangerous task- he would attempt to locate the Orbs of Dragonkind.
The quest was certainly a risky one, for dragons despised anyone not of their own race who held one of the Orbs, but Kaliyah believed he needed to gain control of some kind of powerful artefact to prove that he was at least someone worth listening to. Following a lead that information on such an orb might well be located within Belkzen, Kaliyah found himself in the settlement of Trunau, on the eve of the Hopeknife festival, and decided to break his journey there.
Kaliyah is an earnest soul, willing to believe the best in others, no matter how evil they might appear at first glance. He firmly believes that everyone is their "own man", and that its those decisions that shape your lot in life, rather than race. To a large extent, this frees him from any discrimination against some of the "bastard" races, as he is a very accepting individual. In combat, Kaliyah is determined to act on the defensive, happy to heal allies or otherwise his his divine spells to better protect his friends, while always looking for an opportunity to act the diplomat or peacemaker, happy to bring hostilities to a close. When focused on a particular task, he is very driven, but easily appreciates the value of the occasional great time, or a particularly good joke.

Just a heads up, I'm putting together a character that I'll submit either today or tomorrow, likely a mounted cavalier.
I really like Roseline's background. Tying her into the silent druid is great!
Thank you! Slate's backstory is really cool too! I like how you incorporated the trade routes and Agrit Staginsdar into yours.
I'm going to withdraw. My weeks has been... eventful and I haven't worked on the Halfling at all. Have fun guys and gals!
All right, so I decided to make an archer Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean, and here he is!
He has worked with the Liberty's Edge of Andoran, as well as served as a private bodyguard for various groups of travelers and now wanders Golarion, searching out the most war-torn and besieged areas to ensure that any who wishes to leave can do so.
Of course, this is not an easy job and he has often had to work to resolve the latent conflicts in that area, but Cayden Cailean has given the strength to continue his work, and has now urged him to travel to Trunau.

Roll With It: You’ve trained with some of the best giantslayers out there, and have learned how to avoid the worst effects of a giant’s powerful attacks. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Reflex saves. In addition, once per day, when a creature with the giant subtype successfully confirms a critical hit against you with a weapon or a slam attack (not a spell or special ability), you can roll with the attack. You take normal damage from the blow, as if the critical had not been confirmed. You must be aware of the attack and able to react to it—if you are denied your Dexterity bonus to AC, you can’t use this ability.
Liberation (Su): You have the ability to ignore impediments to your mobility. For a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level, you can move normally regardless of magical effects that impede movement, as if you were affected by freedom of movement. This effect occurs automatically as soon as it applies. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Judgment (Su): Starting at 1st level, an inquisitor can pronounce judgment upon her foes as a swift action. Starting when the judgment is made, the inquisitor receives a bonus or special ability based on the type of judgment made.
At 1st level, an inquisitor can use this ability once per day. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor can use this ability one additional time per day. Once activated, this ability lasts until the combat ends, at which point all of the bonuses immediately end. The inquisitor must participate in the combat to gain these bonuses. If she is frightened, panicked, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise prevented from participating in the combat, the ability does not end, but the bonuses do not resume until she can participate in the combat again.
When the inquisitor uses this ability, she must select one type of judgment to make. As a swift action, she can change this judgment to another type. If the inquisitor is evil, she receives profane bonuses instead of sacred, as appropriate. Neutral inquisitors must select profane or sacred bonuses. Once made, this choice cannot be changed.
Destruction: The inquisitor is filled with divine wrath, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all weapon damage rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Healing: The inquisitor is surrounded by a healing light, gaining fast healing 1. This causes the inquisitor to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as the inquisitor is alive and the judgment lasts. The amount of healing increases by 1 point for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Justice: This judgment spurs the inquisitor to seek justice, granting a +1 sacred bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this bonus is doubled on all attack rolls made to confirm critical hits.
Piercing: This judgment gives the inquisitor great focus and makes her spells more potent. This benefit grants a +1 sacred bonus on concentration checks and caster level checks made to overcome a target’s spell resistance. This bonus increases by +1 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Protection: The inquisitor is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1 sacred bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this bonus is doubled against attack rolls made to confirm critical hits against the inquisitor.
Purity: The inquisitor is protected from the vile taint of her foes, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all saving throws. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled against curses, diseases, and poisons.
Resiliency: This judgment makes the inquisitor resistant to harm, granting DR 1/magic. This DR increases by 1 for every five levels she possesses. At 10th level, this DR changes from magic to an alignment (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) that is opposite the inquisitor’s. If she is neutral, the inquisitor does not receive this increase.
Resistance: The inquisitor is shielded by a flickering aura, gaining 2 points of energy resistance against one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) chosen when the judgment is declared. The protection increases by 2 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Smiting: This judgment bathes the inquisitor’s weapons in a divine light. The inquisitor’s weapons count as magic for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction. At 6th level, the inquisitor’s weapons also count as one alignment type (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. The type selected must match one of the inquisitor’s alignments. If the inquisitor is neutral, she does not receive this bonus. At 10th level, the inquisitor’s weapons also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction (but not for reducing hardness).
Monster Lore (Ex): The inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on Knowledge skill checks in addition to her Intelligence modifier, when making skill checks to identify the abilities and weaknesses of creatures.
Stern Gaze (Ex): Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonus on all Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).

All right, so I decided to make an archer Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean, and here he is!
Hate to tell you, but you do not gain domain spells as an inquisitor
Whoops, my bad, thanks for pointing that out!
I've tried 4 times to set up a character for this campaign with no success. I'll take this as a sign from the gods to withdraw my interest and wish everyone the best.
Fesk must now withdraw before finishing background.. good luck all.
I present Maove Stonekin, a rivethun dwarf paladin of Erastil, for consideration.
Maove was born the child of two stalwart defenders in a small village on the Lastwall borders. The village was thought to be too small to attract notice; named Firstspring by its inhabitants, it was a calm place, though most would not leave the town’s boundaries at night. While there was a nearby war trail, the fighting never departed from it. Erastil was worshiped strongly in the town and Maove had a deep interest in his church from a young age. After coming into their adulthood, Maove joined Erastil’s clergy as a paladin, devoted to maintaining the stability of the community and protecting it from harm. Maove and her family lived in peace for nearly fifty years, and Maove eventually married and raised a child with the daughter of the head cleric.
However, that protection failed the day fighting broke out directly on the trail. A bottleneck formed over the winter, and the orc raids were forced to turn aside, diverting them into the village square. While the Stonekin family stood strong against the orcs, their defense was not enough and broke under the onslaught. Maove’s parents sacrificed themselves to give their child enough time to escape the village.
As Maove fled, intent on seeking help, she did not look back; already, that day, her wife and child had died before them, struck down by the blade of a particularly brutal orc covered in scars and tattoos. However, once inside the border of Lastwall, no one would agree to leave and seek to return to save what was left of the village, and it became clear that the village was now within the Belkzen border. Maove was unable to return.
The next few years, Maove spent wandering and attempting to atone for abandoning Firstspring in its hour of need. Some time was spent in Vigil, though Maove never got along well with the worshippers of Gorum. Maove went on several missions to assist with pushing back the border, succeeding at times and helping to reestablish communities. Those small towns left her aching for her family, and her grief never kept her anywhere long. Finally, Maove pushed into Belkzen itself, trying to avoid and settled in Trunau. In Trunau, Maove has found a village to defend and stand strong with. In addition, her friendship with Agrit Staginsdar has helped Maove overcome some of her grief.
Those that try to flirt with her may as well be flirting with a stone wall. Some rumors abound that she is already romantically entangled with Agrit, as they spend long periods of time together, but Maove vehemently denies them. Few know of her past, and she hides it out of shame for having abandoned her community.
However, Maove does have an extremely kind side, once she softens up. During the winter, when it’s harder to spend time training, she passes the time whittling toys from pieces of scrap wood. She also attends as many hopeknife ceremonies as she can, and often provides the first bit of military training the kids had through snowball fights or fencing with sticks.

For a thousand years, Posh Stemtimple’s people had been simple farmers, until the orcs came, and came, and came, with no end in sight.
As a young gnome, his grandfather, Krolmnite Stemtimple watched his farm burned to the ground, and he took up arms, fighting beside the crusaders and villagers. He was there when the Hordeline fell. When the order was given to fall back further into Lastwall, Krolmnite wasn’t having any part of it. He turned tail and joined the defenders at Bloodmarch Hill and took “the Vow” with all of the others.
As Krolmnite grew older, and finally had children, it fell to his only son, Braughur Stemtimple to carry the family arms in battle, but Braughur’s strengths were not those of the warrior. He was an oracle, and cursed with both lameness, and blindness. Braughur used his talents as best he could, and supported the militia of Trunau whenever called, but he always knew he wasn’t the warrior his father had been. Braughur met a young gnomish lass named Queck Milkweed, and convinced her to become a Stemtimple.
Braughur and Queck have 7 children, with Posh being the oldest, and while Krolmnite’s armor and weapons were sold years ago to feed the rugrats, young Posh was raised to be a pious follower of Torag and defender of the Vow himself. His family has helped to scrape together the meager accoutrements he wears as he sets out on this adventure.
Posh has held the line and gone on patrols with the militia several times proving his mettle. He has been in several battles where Patrol Captains Kurst and Rodrik Grath were in charge.
The Patrol Captains may not know who he is, but he certainly knows and respects them.
It is my intent to have Posh eventually be a mounted combatant. However, feats and money make that not overy doable just yet.
As built, Posh is not intended to be the group's Face. I suppose I could reconfigure a bit and have him be that if needed, but I do not currently envision him as your standard chatty gnome. Going on adventure, and fighting orcs constantly is probably good for Posh, lest he bleach out early.
In a group of humans, Posh is probably the boring one at the party, although I suppose in a group of dwarves, maybe he is actually the chatty one of the bunch.
I just stumbled on this recruitment... And it looks like I have about 18 hours... I'm on my way to a meeting now and have another that starts about 4 hours before recruitment closes... Challenge Accepted!
I'm going to make the dwarfiest dwarf that ever dwarfed! A multiclass ranger/inquisitor who uses a dorn dergar. More to come later... (Primarily melee/skills, with secondary support/heals, or at least wand use).

On a different note, I have just discovered the Pathfinder Delver (Dark Delver on the PFSRD) and think that PrC fits with the archaeologist about as perfectly as a PrC has ever fit with a base class. Probably gonna shoot for starting that class at level 7.
Wow there is a lot of competition for this AP with a bunch of great ideas! Good luck to everyone!
Here is my character applicant, Lira Stormgem, a dwarven ranger with a score to settle.
I know this isn't the ideal way to submit a pitch, but it's what I have time for (sorry)...

Doran was raised in a small settlement in the foothills of the mindspin mountains where his father served as priest (primarily of Kols, but overseeing rituals for most of the dwarven pantheon). As a youth, his parents (and most of the settlement) were killed by a giant raid, after which he was sent to Tranau to be raised by the priest there. Surrounded by non-dwarves, and reeling from his loss, he clung desperately to traditional dwarf culture as a means to retain some connection to his parents. Years have passed and he is now an adult but despite his time in Tranau he still clings to his dwarven identity and the anger and hatred towards Giants still feels fresh.
After a level or two of ranger he'd take probably 4 levels of inquisitor and then maybe keep going or maybe go back to ranger...
And I just saw this. am submitting the same character for another Giantslayer.

Slow and Steady: You have a base speed of 20 feet, but your speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
Defensive Training: Dwarves get a +4 dodge bonus to AC against monsters of the giant subtype.
Greed: Dwarves receive a +2 racial bonus on Appraise skill checks made to determine the price of nonmagical goods that contain precious metals or gemstones.
Hatred: Dwarves receive a +1 bonus on attack rolls against humanoid creatures of the orc and goblinoid subtypes due to special training against these hated foes.
Hardy: You receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities.
Stability: Dwarves receive a +4 racial bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense when resisting a bull rush or trip attempt while standing on the ground.
Stonecunning: Dwarves receive a +2 bonus on Perception checks to potentially notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. They receive a check to notice such features whenever they pass within 10 feet of them, whether or not they are actively looking.
Weapon Familiarity: You are proficient with battleaxes, heavy picks, and warhammers, and treat any weapon with the word “dwarven” in its name as a martial weapon.
Glory of Old (DoG 11): You receive a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and poison.
Fate's Favored (UCa 55): Whenever you are under the effect of a luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1.
Grounded (DoG 10): You gain a +2 trait bonus on balance-related Acrobatics checks, and a +1 trait bonus on Reflex saves.
Artifact Hunter: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify the properties of magic items and a +1 trait bonus on Use Magic Device checks, and one of these skills (UMD) becomes a class skill for you. In addition, whenever you first encounter an artifact, there is a 50% chance (+1% per level) that you recognize the artifact and know its name, origin, and something of that artifact’s powers, abilities, or
dangers. Exactly how much knowledge you possess is left to the GM’s discretion.
Armor and Shield Proficiency: You are proficient in Light, Medium and Heavy Armor. You are proficient with shields (except Tower Shields).
Weapon Proficiency: You are proficient with all Simple and Martial weapons. Additionally you are proficient with the following weapons: Battleaxe, Pick, heavy; Warhammer
Aura (Core 39): A Warpriest of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity’s alignment
Favored Weapon (Core 39): You gain proficiency with the favored weapon of your deity (warhammer)
Spontaneous Casting (Core 41): You can channel stored spell energy into cure spells.
Blessings (Su): Each warpriest can select two blessings from among those granted by his deity (each deity grants the blessings tied to its domains). A warpriest can select an alignment blessing (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if his alignment matches that domain.
Each blessing grants a minor power at 1st level and a major power at 10th level. A warpriest can call upon the power of his blessings a number of times per day (in any combination) equal to 3 + 1/2 his warpriest level (to a maximum of 13 times per day at 20th level). Each time he calls upon any one of his blessings, it counts against his daily limit. The save DC for these blessings is equal to 10 + 1/2 the warpriest’s level + the warpriest’s Wisdom modifier.
If a warpriest also has levels in a class that grants cleric domains, the blessings chosen must match the domains selected by that class. Subject to GM discretion, the warpriest can change his former blessings or domains to make them conform.
Sacred Weapon (Su): At 1st level, weapons wielded by a warpriest are charged with the power of his faith. In addition to the favored weapon of his deity, the warpriest can designate a weapon as a sacred weapon by selecting that weapon with the Weapon Focus feat; if he has multiple Weapon Focus feats, this ability applies to all of them.
Whenever the warpriest hits with his sacred weapon, the weapon damage is based on his level and not the weapon type. The damage for Medium warpriests is listed on Table 1–14. The warpriest can decide to use the weapon’s base damage instead of the sacred weapon damage—this must be declared before
the attack roll is made. (If the weapon’s base damage exceeds the sacred weapon damage, its damage is unchanged.) This increase in damage does not affect any other aspect of the weapon, and doesn’t apply to alchemical items, bombs, or other weapons that only deal energy damage.
Protection Blessing
Increased Defense (minor): At 1st level, you can gain a +1 sacred bonus on saving throws and a +1 sacred bonus to AC for 1 minute. The bonus increases to +2 at 10th level and +3 at 20th level.
Aura of Protection (major): At 10th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of protection for 1 minute. You and your allies within this aura gain resistance 10 against acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic. At 15th level, the energy resistance increases to 20.
Law Blessing
Axiomatic Strike (minor): At 1st level, you can touch one weapon and enhance it with the essence of law. For 1 minute, this weapon glows blue, pale yellow, or white and deals an additional 1d6 points of damage against chaotic creatures. During this time, it’s treated as lawful for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. This additional damage doesn’t stack with the additional damage from the axiomatic weapon special ability.
Battle Companion (major): At 10th level, you can summon a battle companion. This ability functions as summon monster IV with a duration of 1 minute, but for only a lawful outsider or an animal with the resolute creature simple template (Bestiary 2, 293). This ability can summon only one creature, regardless of the list used. For every 2 levels beyond 10th, the level of the summon monster spell increases by 1 (to a maximum of summon monster IX at 20 level).

Haskyll Stonereaver was born in the 5 King mountains of a family of Guardsman. While he was growing up, he was regaled with tales of the ancestors and those of his family who had gone before. As these tales were given when he was growing up, he did not ascribe some of the things that were said as exaggeration, and thus he vowed to become a similar hero to the dwarven people.
Soon after he was enrolled in school, his parents were tasked to guard a caravan to the human town of Trunau. His father took his families axe Gorechild, and departed with the caravan. Many months went by, and word finally arrived that the caravan and all who were in it, had been killed, and everything taken. His families loss was overshadowed by the loss of the caravan, and it was a brutal blow to his famies honour.
When he was told of this, Haskyll, made a vow to hunt down and return the families axe which was said to have magical properties, and to restore his families honour. so to help himself with both the hunt, and to give himself fully into he search.
He enrolled in the church of Torag, to give himself the best opportunities to study and get better training in both the arts divine and martial. However, in his training, they realized that his forte was more in the martial side, as opposed to the spiritual side of the church, and thus they enrolled him in the temple guards for further training, with the promise that he would get further time to study, and learn all that he could about the area that his parents went missing.
In his early 50’s, he started travelling around trying to learn what he could about both the caravan that was wiped out, and where it was. It was during this time frame that he managed to narrow down the name of the town (Trunau) where the caravan was wiped out. With this information, he asked for and received permission to leave for there, but only if he was involved with one last caravan of supplies for the human garrison of the town. Haskyll, agreed to the stipulation, and found himself in Trunau 2 months later with a caravan of supplies for the town.
Shortly after leaving the caravan, he found himself in the local Tavern
