One of the things I love most about Golarion is that there is a ton of stuff left unwritten. It allows me to expand on things in my games and invent new things to further enrich the game world. A part of the setting that always interests me are the divine being they have and how the interact with their followers and each other. On one of the Pathfinder FB pages I play a little game of creativity where as ask about what kind of character you would make to follow a god. This week I'm looking at Chucaro, Empyreal Lord of dreams, hallucinations, and mists.
Sitting at our theoretical gaming table, our GM turns to us and says, "All of the characters must be followers of Chucaro, although they do not need to be divine casters." What character do you make? Who is he? Why has he chosen The Maiden of Whimsy and Haze as his patron? In what ways does he further the Empyreal Lords goals? Why would he be attracted to this beings doctrine?

Hmm ...
This one brought something to mind, more than the other similar posts have. I'd probably make an alchemist (inspired chemist/psychonaut). He'd likely try to invoke dreams and hallucinations in others, and take discoveries along that vein. And smoke bombs. I'm imagining that early on he accidentally dosed himself with hallucinogens, saw something profound, and took it as a message from Chucaro.
The rest will take more work than my brain has time for right now. :-)
Edit: I'd be kind of concerned about a whole group of Chucaro followers all adventuring together, though. Both for them and those around them. :-)

I'm certain a psychedelia or dream discipline psychic would be quite appropriate for a follower of Chucaro. I imagine they'd see their abilities as a gift in the case of the dream disciple, and just a really weird trip in the case of the psychedelia disciple. An elementalist wizard focusing on manipulating mists could be cool.
