Alrighty then! Here's the post I said I was gonna create lol. Bookmark this page and this is the one where we'll have out of game discussions when needed, and we'll use the game play thread for the game play. But for now, this is where we'll go ahead and get characters going. First things first will be rolling for ability scores. What it will be is 4d6, dropping the lowest. The dice code here is pretty simple to figure out, but for simplicity's sake, I'll put the line out for you to copy, paste, and you can see it from there.
[spoiler=Set 1]
[dice=Stat Roll 1]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 2]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 3]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 4]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 5]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 6]4d6[dice]
[spoiler]
[spoiler=Set 2]
[dice=Stat Roll 1]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 2]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 3]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 4]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 5]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 6]4d6[dice]

[spoiler=Set 3]
[dice=Stat Roll 1]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 2]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 3]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 4]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 5]4d6[dice]
[dice=Stat Roll 6]4d6[dice]

Now being BBCode, you'll have to put the / in the last bracket. The rest of the different formatting allowed is under the posting box that says "How to format your text". So back to this, you'll roll 3 different sets of stats, and then choose which set you want to go with, just remember to drop the lowest die. So if you get a roll of 3, 5, 2, and 6, the code will total it to be 16, but you'll have to drop the 2 in order to get your score, which will be 14.
Starting equipment wealth will be rolled as well, which is found in the equipment section. Roll for the starting gold, and then go nuts from there with what you get. Characters will start at level 1, so full health will be there, after level 1, health will be rolled for. Other things to note is that 2 traits and a draw back will be included, so you'll need to pick 2 traits, and your drawback, which can be found here for both, drawbacks are all the way at the bottom. I am also allowing a starting bonus feat, but it must be a story feat which can all be found here. Keep in mind that if you do choose to take a story feat, you'll have to include the prerequisite in your back ground. I'm mainly allowing one as a bonus feat to help give your characters some motivation and purpose of their own, so that you guys can create actual characters, not just walking stat blocks. And the same thing for your traits. Incorporate them somehow. Taking the Child of the Temple trait just for the skill check bonuses makes no sense and seems absolutely pointless if your character didn't grow up in or closely around a temple.
As a side note, being as I know we can get a little carried away with backstory for characters, I'm not going to require a 13 novel story with one novel being dedicated to a chocolate form (a horrible inside joke for a couple of us...) All I'm really going to ask for is just something simple that I can use to get a sense of who your character is, some major points in their history, and get a sense of their motivations so I can work them into the story. This guy right here is a fair example of what all I really need. Hell, I'm the one who condensed it for simplicity's sake because I had even more for that character when I created him lol. Anyways, the bottom 3 spoiler blocks are really what you need to look at to get an idea of all I'm asking for.
Now when it comes to a place to write down stats, Myth Weavers is a very great place to go for a character sheet that you can share. Accounts are free, and it's an easy way to edit them when you need to. When you go to create one, use the Pathfinder [experimental] version, and then copy the link so that it can be accessed. A new link isn't needed everytime, so posting the link in your character alias is all that's needed. If you need some help creating an alias here for when you're ready to create one for your character, just let me know if the FAQ tells you nothing.
Now being as it's past midnight, and I need some sleep, I'm gonna leave it at this for now, and if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask.
