My first party will probably consist of the following:
A Monk mc Sorcerer with additional versatility and blasting capability (The guy wanted a dragonball character and this is as close as it gets I think :P)
A Fighter mc Sorcerer - Sorcerer probably for versatility, a swordmaster, possibly wielding katana, curve blade or something along the lines
A wildshape druid, possible mc paladin - have to look at the final rules how that would work out

One thing I always recommend to eternal GMs is to find a PFS group, just dont accidentally become their GM too lol
This is potentially relatively easy in large US cities
In the U.K. not so much :-( . I had a look the other day and the only PFS groups in the U.K. on warhorn are Manchester and Birmingham which is no good when you live on the south coast !I find Roll20 lfg rubbish as the search function is terrible and they don’t have sub forums for game systems so it is full of 5E.
I am determined to look because i realised the other day that I would feel really out of sorts actually playing. I am also buying the 2E rules even though we might not be able to convert due to an on running AP

You say that, BUT...
I once went to play a Pathfinder session at a convention and I STILL ended up GMing because the guy running it had way too many show up and needed to split into three groups and needed GMs for the other two to run a quick oneshot demo.
I don't know that I could be trusted with a PFS group... XD

Do gauntlets actually leave hands free for casting? They didn't technically in 1E from what I recall. Has this changed?

They do indeed, in the playtest:
You can use the hand covered by your free-hand
weapon to wield other items, perform manipulate actions, and
so forth. ... When you’re not wielding anything and not using the
hand, you can use abilities that require you to have a hand free
as well as those that require you to be wielding a weapon in
that hand.
(page 182, weapon traits)
Somatic and Material casting components are Manipulate actions.

Name: Gurgarmuskh
ABC: Goblin, Acolyte, Cleric of Irori
Weapon of Choice: Dogslicer
Mount: A goblin dog named Zen
Catchphrase - a mantra he recites to maintain his self-control:
"Impassive, my face
Respectful, my language
Orderly, my thought
Relaxed, my breath
Impervious, my mind."
Personality: Gurgarmuskh renounced his native tribe's disorderly, dirty, loud, destructive mindset. He found faith in the deity most in opposition to that: Irori. He received a great monastery education where he learnt the way of rigorous order, cleanliness, silence, and discipline. Always impeccably dressed, polite, calm and polished, his only concessions to his ancestry are his traditional goblin weapon and mount.
Weakness: He completely loses his well-rehearsed self-control in the presence of fire. This is anathema, so, when that happens he needs to discipline himself in a variety of ways to atone for the lapse.

Name: Alastair Renard
ABC: Human Acolyte Monk, with Cleric MC archetype
Attack: Punching to the face
^ My PC for Age of Ashes. His parents were killed in the Goblinblood Wars, so he was raised by the church of Desna in (starter town of AP). He doesn't know how his parents died, there's conflicting stories, ranging from goblins through to a dragon. Either way, he wants to get out and help the people of the town, do some exploring, and hopefully one day will get to punch a dragon in the face.

ABC: Goblin Warrior (unless there is a bandit background) Redeemer Champion of Apsu
Catchphrase: "Dahak's coming, that's too much fire!"
Weapon of Choice: Dogslicer
One of my 1e characters is Half-orc Redeemer Paladin of Apsu, who has tried a few times to convert goblins away from evil to help build the Army of Light for the 'final battle,' which he thinks is imminent. I thought it would be funny to imagine if at one off-camera point between editions that he succeeds. :-)

Well, there is this experimental one I came up with, but it still needs a little work.

So I don't have the AB, but I do have the C and concept. Essentially a "Reaction" Master Fighter. I'd have multiple fighting "styles" that would have different reactions based on the weapon combinations. (1 handed and hand free, 1 handed and shield, dual 1 handed). Then at 20, the Reaction Capstone will let me use all the extra Reactions I've built up for anything.
Reactive Shield, LVL 1
Dueling Parry LVL2
Twin Parry LVL4
??? - LVL 6
Quick Shield Block, LVL 8
Combat Reflexes, LVL 10
Dueling Riposte LVL12
Improved Dueling Riposte LVL14
Twin Riposte LVL16
Improved Twin Riposte, LVL 18
Reactionary, LVL 20
So I'd have
1 Reaction as normal
1 extra reaction specifically for AoO (Combat Expertise)
1 extra reaction specifically for Duelinjg Riposte (1 haded weapon, and 1 hand free)
1 extra reaction specifically for Quick Shield Block (1 handed weapon and shield)
1 extra reaction specifically for Twin Riposte (two 1 handed weapons)
And then my capstone Reactionary would let me use all 5 of my reactions for anything

Catchphrases: "I sell Alchemist Fire, and Alchemist Fire accessories."

Weapon: Longsword and Alchemists Fire
As you can probably tell by now he's based off of Hank Hill. I think he'd be a really fun to play paladin and of course he would constantly be trying to get people to use Alchemist Fire as a clean burning alternative fuel source so you can taste the meat not the heat.

Name: Kurt
ABC: Human woodsman monk
Weapon: Man-hands, dual axes
So I noticed (after a quick scan so I could be off) that there are roughly 14 human PCs out of the 40 that were presented here. I'm not counting half-humans and hobbits. I'm guessing that most people prefer to play exotic races, or that the spread is pretty much even. Either way makes sense, as I don't see the point in ethnocentrism in a world of visually/culturally distinct races. But for me it gets rather hard to explain why there's a party full of demihumans in a nation dominated by humans.
Is there anyone who would prefer a setting where humans aren't the dominant race? Maybe, in keeping with the typical party demographics, they could be the minority instead? Maybe the world could be dominated by hobbits.

You should consider demon bloodline if availible, much closer to the chaos gods
If at any point availible maybe even go qulippoth
