Surrounded by his nine half brothers and sisters, Giovanni grew up wealthy and spoiled with his every wish indulged by his beloved family. Still Giovanni grew restless and his brilliant mind demanded something to occupy it’s time. Despite the worry of his father, Giovanni decided to leave Taldor so he could join the Pathfinder Society.

The 10 questions that'll make your PFS roleplaying blossom thread is really amazing for this purpose, too.
For some of my characters I include it on their Paizo profile.

I come from lands deep in what your people refer to as the Mwangi Expanse. I left there with my overseer, Cuauhtli Sun Champion, to seek power from your Society. My Tribe is ravaged by brutal Ape-Demon-Beasts, so much so that they barter with local Orc tribes for breeding of Champions. I am one such Champion, Born of a high caste warrior woman and an Orc. My birth at Moonrise set my life's course for me, and as a follower of the Jaguar Caste, I stalk the jungle at night; I terrorize that witch hunts my tribe and other men. I am the beast made in man's form, combining the rage and stealthy hunting prowess of the mighty Jaguar, I strike fear in the heart of fear itself... or so we are trained to think. Our tribe made a foolish mistake however, attacking Ruthazek out of arrogance that all should fear the Eagle and Jaguar. Myself and Cuauhtli realized during that terrible battle that we needed more than the strength of Beasts to win against Demons and befouled human worshippers. We need the cunning of man and magic. So we left our tribe and served a wise man. Then another wise man when we learned all we could from the first. And so on, until we came to the Pathfinder Society. It is here that we believe we will find what we need to Slay the Gorilla Kings for all time, and free our people from fear itself.

Sraxx (Brawler) joined the Pathfinder Society because he was bored, didn't like the idea of robbing people, and had little else in life to work toward. It gave him a reason to fight, food, and gold and that was enough for him. He grew up as a street urchin in the city of Absolam, where the only way to survive was to fight. The streets taught him how to fight and how to see when a fight was brewing, as well as some minor knowledge about the type of things that one might run into around the city.
Physically, he is roughly 6' tall, has a couple of bulldozer scoops for hands, and wears light clothing under a beaten chain shirt. His body shows many of the scars he's accumulated throughout his career, though magical healing has hidden many more.
As an adult who has adjusted to life in the Society, Sraxx is a simple man, loving the thrill of a difficult fight and risking his life for riches and fame. On one outing he was asked to retrieve an artifact from a hall of Cayden Cailean. To get it, he competed in feats of strength and dexterity, winning them and his prize. The encounter was enough to draw him back and, over time, refined his love of the fight into something closer to the glory of overcoming a difficult challenge. Over the following months, this continued to evolve into a faith for the drunken god. Living for the glory of a good challenge, the freedom to seek them out through his time with the society, and bringing others to see the finer things in life, Sraxx is feeling pretty good.
Sraxx does not tend to anger easily, and responds to the cruelty of things like Chellaxian slavery with smarmy ridicule and a general disregard for the consequences of going against oppression where he sees it, something he fostered as he grew up in the streets of a large city. His patronage of Cayden Caylen has strengthened his dislike of anything that restricts or removes one's ability to make their own decisions, and tends to get himself into trouble, with a smile on his face, when it surfaces. This often expresses itself when Sraxx goes on Society requests with a Chellaxian summoner by the name of Rynest, harrassing and annoying him for his hard-wing views of "might makes right".
While he strives to challenge himself regularly, he harbors a fear of losing control of who he is and having his strength turned to aid those undeserving of it. This stems primarily from a terrible incident that nearly ended his life in the Blackros Museum. It is for this reason he always has a white prisim ioun stone slotted in his wayfinder and has since worked to strengthen his resolve.
