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 I ask about what kind of character you would make to follow a god. This week I'm looking at The Soralyon, the Empyreal Lord of guardians, magic, and monuments.
Sitting at our theoretical gaming table, our GM turns to us and says, "All of the characters must be followers of Soralyon, although they do not need to be divine casters." What character do you make? Who are they? Why have they chosen The Mystic Angel as their patron? In what ways do they further this Empyreal Lord's goals? Why would he be attracted to this beings doctrine?

I've got a character who's a follower of Soralyn. I wanted someone with the Living Monolith prestige class who was still very Taldan and had little to do with Osirion.
She's from Mount Antios, which is famous for the statuaries, mausoleums and memorials at its peak. She thinks they're amazing. When she's not busy being a pathfinder, she's a protector of the place. Her personality is a bit like Sailor Moon.
She's currently paladin 3/fighter 3/bloodrager 1/Living Monolith 1. I'll probably add another level to everything but fighter as I go.
She has a 20' tall statue of Princess Eutropia. She uses some magic tattoo needles to place it on herself and carry it around. When things are dire, she uses a scroll of Possess Object to animate and become the statue for the day.
In general she's currently doing 24d6+31 damage, with a bit more on a crit. When she hits level 9 and picks up Furious Finish and the axe she wants, it'll be a flat 223 damage per round.
Titan Fighter to effectively wield weapon 1 size bigger. So animate a Huge statue which wields a Gargantuan weapon (currently greatsword, soon to be butchering axe). Living Monolith allows me to Enlarge as a supernatural ability despite not being a Person at the time. So, Gargantuan wielding Colossal weapon. Bloodrager has the Id Rager archetype so while raging counts as a Spiritualist and their Phantom - with Dedication emotion if someone attacks me I get Lead Blades against them. (Colossal+1) And power attack + vital strike. (Double dice). And Furious finish means damage is maximized. It fatigues me, but as an animated statue, I'm immune to fatigue, so I can rage again next turn.
BTW, it looks like in your blog you made the same mistake the official artist did on the holy symbol. It's not a stone SPIRAL, it's a stone SPIRE. Yours still looks better than the official one though.
