I'm looking to make a Hunter or Huntmaster Inquisitor as my next Pathfinder Society PC. I haven't decided which yet.
Mechanically, both get an animal companion, bonus teamwork feats every 3 levels, and the ability to share those teamwork feats with their pet. It looks like Huntmaster has better class features in general, though their spell lists are different enough that some types of Hunters could still be better. I just want to do a typical melee pair, nothing fancy like a small humanoid riding his pet, or an archer and melee pet pair.
But rather than mechanical strength, I'm likely to pick between the two based on flavor. Which brings me to the purpose of this thread: I need to decide on things like PC race, animal race, back story, personality, reason for being in the Society, which faction to join, etc. I'm looking for fluff ideas, and then I'll see how they pair with the mechanical ideas.
If I go with a more "outdoorsy" theme, then it'll be a Hunter. If I come up with a deity to follow and good story to go with it, then it'll probably be a Huntmaster Inquisitor. I'm really not married to either right now, though I will say I've enjoyed reading about the Golarion gods and coming up with character ideas that go with them.
For this PC, I think I'm leaning towards a good alignment. Neutrals are allowed in Society, and I have a few of those PCs already. But I just feel like making this one more heroic. I'm not sure why, but I'm going with it.
Any ideas?
