Appearance and Manner
Jarek is of average height but very solidly built. He keeps his straight black hair cut short in the current style favored by the nobility. He moves with a plodding but purposeful gait, his attention generally fixed carefully on his current objective. His speech, too, is slow and deliberate.
Jarek is fully aware that he's not very smart in many ways. This leads him to be somewhat reserved in some situations. However he is continually amazed at the way people fail to see obvious solutions to their disputes, and will offer to point out these solutions if it seems necessary.
His relatively slow wit has caused him much embarrassment in the past, and he has resolved not to be duped again, so he very carefully considers who is speaking before believing what they say.

History
Jarek is the third son of Baron Othar von Rotweil. As the third son he looked to inherit little or nothing from his father, and so knowing that he had little chance to get by in the world on his wits, he entered into service of the church of Pelor. Initially, this decision was made for practical reasons, but once he started his church training, Jarek truly saw the light. He is now a true Champion of Pelor, and service to the god is his first priority. He has dropped his surname as a mark of humility, but still retains good relations with his family.
Class abilities
reproduced here mostly for my benefit, but I've calculated DCs and durations
Spoiler:
Fighting Challenge (Su): As a swift action, Jarek can issue a challenge against a single opponent. The target of this ability must have an Intelligence of 5 or higher, have a language of some sort, and have a CR greater than or equal to 3. If it does not meet these requirements, a use of this ability is expended without effect.
If the target does meet the conditions given above, Jarek gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves and a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against the target of this ability. Jarek fights with renewed vigor and energy by placing his honor and reputation on the line. If his chosen foe reduces him to 0 or fewer hit points, he loses two uses of his knight's challenge ability for the day because of the blow to his ego and confidence from this defeat.
The effect of Jarek's fighting challenge lasts for 8 rounds.
Test of Mettle (Su): Jarek can shout a challenge to all enemies, calling out for the mightiest among them to face him in combat. Any target of this ability must have a language of some sort and an Intelligence score of 5 or higher. Creatures that do not meet these requirements are immune to the test of mettle. Jarek must have line of sight and line of effect to the targets of this ability.
As a swift action, Jarek can expend one use of his knight's challenge ability to cause all enemies within 100 feet with a CR greater than or equal to 3 to make Will saves (DC 15). Creatures that fail this save are forced to attack Jarek with their ranged or melee attacks in preference over other available targets. If a foe attacks by casting a spell or using a supernatural ability, he must target Jarek with the attack or include you in the effect's area.
An opponent compelled to act in this manner is not thrown into a mindless rage and does not have to move to attack you in melee if doing so would provoke attacks of opportunity against him. In such a case, he can use ranged attacks against you or attack any opponents he threatens as normal. If anyone other than you attacks the target, the effect of the test of mettle ends for that specific target.
If you are reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by an opponent forced to attack you due to this ability, you gain one additional use of your knight's challenge ability for that day. This additional use comes from increased confidence and the knowledge that you have proved your mettle as a knight against your enemies by calling out foes even against overwhelming odds. This additional use disappears if you have not used it by the start of the next day. You can only gain one additional use of your knight's challenge ability in this manner per day.
The effect of a test of mettle lasts for 8 rounds. Whether a creature fails or succeeds on its save against your test of mettle, it can only be targeted by this effect once per day.
Aura of Good (Ex):The power of a paladin’s aura of good (see the detect good spell) is equal to her paladin level.
Detect Evil (Sp):At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell.
Smite Evil (Su):Once per encounter, Jarek may attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack. He adds +3 to his attack rolland deals 5 extra points of damage. If he accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for that day. Whenever Jarek successfully smites a creature, he makes a Smite attack vs. Fortitude (+8 modifier). If successful, the target is blinded for 1d4 rounds.
Lay on Hands (Su):Jarek can heal wounds by touch. Each day he can heal 15 hit points of damage.
Alternatively, a paladin can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The paladin decides how many of her daily allotment of points to use as damage after successfully touching an undead creature.
Aura of Courage (Su):Jarek is immune to fear (magical or otherwise). Each ally within 10 feet gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects.
This ability functions while Jarek is conscious, but not if he is unconscious or dead.
Divine Health (Ex):Jarek is immune to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.
Turn Undead (Su):Jarek turns undead once per encounter as a 2nd-level cleric.

Appearance: Collan is a tremendously attractive (some would say beautiful) elf with thick blonde hair, silver eyes, and a lean build. He wears perpetually clean clothing of stature and wealth, marking him as an aristocrat or a noble of some kind. A highly stylized symbol of Pelor is embroidered with gold thread on a cape he wears to cover his right shoulder from front to back. He always wears white gloves and slipper-like shoes, and none of his clothing seems to ever get dirty.
Background: Collan is the fifth-born son to a noble house of an elvish duke. Long known for his adventurous spirit, the religious training he received in one of his long jaunts (as his family called his travels abroad) lead Collan to worship Pelor and begin a clerical lifestyle. With his family's influence he hopes to create a small church of Pelor on the Riventha estate, for the prestige and benefit of the duchy, using the earnings he can muster through adventuring.

Appearance: Unless you get on his bad side, people see Paldon as carefree, and easy going,
who usually is wearing his armor with green colors over it.
Background: Born a peasant, Paldon's day of awakening came on a day of near disaster while he was a boy,
when a fighter saved one of his friends from a bear attack. Since then, Paldon has made it his goal to do what he can
for the good of the people, and has done what he can on his way there.
Abilities: Im putting these in so I can remeber them
Ablilties
Bulwark of Defense (Ex): When you reach 3rd level, an opponent that begins its turn in your threatened area treats all the squares that you threaten as difficult terrain. Your strict vigilance and active defensive maneuvers force your opponents to move with care. Armor Mastery (Ex): Starting at 5th level, you are able to wear your armor like a second skin and ignore the standard speed reduction for wearing medium armor. Starting at 9th level, you ignore the speed reduction imposed by heavy armor as well. Vigilant Defender (Ex): Starting at 5th level, you stand your ground against all enemies, warding the spot where you make your stand to prevent foes from slipping past and attacking those you protect. If an opponent attempts to use the Tumble skill to move through your threatened area or your space without provoking attacks of opportunity, the Tumble check DC to avoid your attacks of opportunity increases by an amount equal to your class level.

Description
Age: 25
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Appearance: Tall, lean, and deeply tanned, his life in the desert is present in every aspect of his body, clothing, and demeanor. He typically wears worn, white desert garments (OOC - think Arabian raider!) and a warmask when engaged in combat, carved from stone, elaborately painted in hues of red and blue, and made to resemble a horned lizard's face. His hair is black, shaggy, and of medium length. He waits for it to get long enough to grasp, then hacks it off with his knife.
Personality: Typically reserved, but prone to occasional hot-blooded outbursts. He tends to interact more with his horse, Mela, than with other people, but he becomes a little more easygoing after a good ride or battle. He takes fierce pride in his riding and archery skills, and will occasionally show off.
Mela: Mela is often Arrak's only companion, and accompanies him everywhere. He has a reddish-brown coat and an untrimmed mane, with white legs from the knee down and very large, heavy hooves. His temperment mirrors that of Arrak.(OOC - Mela is very similar to an Arabian horse.)
Background
Born to nomadic parents, Arrak was raised with his orcish father, and never really knew his human mother. He gained reasonable esteem among his orcish tribe, due to his natural talent in archery, but he was still sneered at for being a "half-blood". Unable to tolerate being held back simply for his heritage, he left the tribe at 17, striking out for a nearby human settlement. There, he joined a company of mercenaries, eventually gaining a high enough standing as a warrior to be gifted with a fine warhorse, Mela. He then learned the art of fighting on horseback, gaining an even higher standing within his company. After seven years of service, he left the company of mercenaries with high regards, intent on seeing the world outside the desert.

Toruk grew with his father, in a tribe of orcs, but soon enough he was regarded as the half blood, and cast away.
He wanders throw the land searching for understanding, but his orc blood makes him slow of mind, of easy fury and not very nice to look at.
With all that, he is not a bad guy, and enjoys drinking large cuantities of beer. Of those nights in the bar, he holds friendships with many dwarves.

Rowan Aledown, halfling conjurer
Wizard 2 (Conjurer) - Using Walking Dad's House Rule Set
Rowan stands just over three feet tall, with a weight of some thirty pounds. He has a thick mop of curly brown hair, and matching nut-brown eyes. He is of average build for a halfling, neither too slim nor too chubby. He dresses in simple traveling clothes of rough-spun wool and cotton, and usually wears a derby style hat, which he can often be
seen twirling between his hands. He carries a carved walking stick of heavy, polished hardwood, which doubles as a stout club in times of trouble.
Aledown comes from a long line of troublemakers and pranksters. He also has an extremely high opinion of himself, considering himself something of a mastermind. His temper is shorter than one would expect from a halfing, and as his surname implies he has a fondness for imbibing fermented drinks.
Rowan was raised in a small village of (insert village name) in (insert region/area name), his parents the owners of a tavern and brewery. As a young halfling, he learned the ways of his parent’s trade, though he never paid much attention. Although an intelligent lad, Rowan would always rather be off playing and pranking then putting any effort into actual work.
Despite all this, Rowan’s home life was good. He had caring and loving parents, and he got away with just about anything. But one fateful day, his life took an unforeseen turn. Playing a prank that cost an old bearded traveler his beard, Rowan learned a severe lesson about his troublemaking nature. The man turned out to be a wizard, and in his
outrage over the prank, destroyed the Aledown’s tavern and home, burning them to the ground. When that was done, the wizard nabbed Rowan, and forced the young halfling into servitude in the wizard’s manor. The wizard, one Farenard Graycloak, was a cruel, evil man…he would often whip and torture the fee-spirited Rowan for his lack of discipline. Still, Rowan managed to learn some of the ways of magic from his despised master, and eventually managed to escape from the guarded estate to start his own life.
Rowan still watches over his shoulder often, expecting his former master to show up and have his revenge upon him at any time. Still, the carefree life of a wandering hedge wizard seems to suit Rowan well, and he now travels the region, seeking experience and adventure. He
has regained some of his once cheerful disposition, though he rarely plays pranks and causes trouble like he once did. He looks forward to the day when he can learn enough spellcraft to no longer have to worry about an enemy from his past.
Rowan enjoys nothing more than to spend a relaxing night before the fire with a pint of ale and a good smoke.
