Character generation rules
     So for those that are unfamiliar with or have forgotten the way I have generated characters for this in the past here are the rules. 
Stat Lines
     For statistics you get 3 sets of dice roll from which you choose 1 for your character.  Each of these stat lines can be rolled 1 of 2 ways.  The first method is roll 6 groups of 4 dice, totaling the highest 3 dice, and allocate these to each stat as you wish.  The second method, also called deadlock, is to roll 6 sets of 5d6, totaling the highest 3 dice, and which will then be allocated to statistics in the order of Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha.  You are then allowed to swap 2 stats once (this is to allow you to have your primary class attribute be your highest or otherwise prevent a stat-line that simply wont fit the class you want to play).  Further a stat-line with a total stat bonus less than 4 can be rerolled.

Example of deadlock
14, 15, 12, 9, 17, 16
this stat-line would be set as
Str: 14
Dex: 15
Con: 12
Int: 9
Wis: 17
Cha: 16
But if the class you wanted to play was wizard, you might want to have Int be your highest stat and could use your one swap to change the stat-line to
Str: 14
Dex: 15
Con: 12
Int: 17
Wis: 9
Cha: 16

Traits
     Each character gets 2 traits plus a bonus campaign trait from the list outlined in the Curse of the Crimson Throne Players Guide for a total of 3 traits.

Races
     Races are restricted to core races or featured races from the advanced race guide.

Stating Resources
     You start with gold/gear as if you had rolled the maximum amount for your class.

Backstory
     Please try to have a backstory that fits into the setting of Golarion.  It doesn't need to be elaborate but it would be nice for it to make sense.  Also, the campaign is essentially good aligned so please have a reason to try to be heroic or at least non-evil.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here or ask Oath.  His character thread should be a good example for any questions (His character is essentially being replayed from the previous attempt).
