Thy wounds are healed!
let's run the 'farm boy' it's what you want the things about your family are all good remember supply lines for war time your father and uncles maybe working the farms to send food to troops
Lawful- as it deals to monks mainly was for the obeys their tradtions and codes for you it still applies LN would suit you acts by tradition and that means the farm thats been handed down over generations must be saved to be handed down/ order and organization are paramount what can be more orderly than a farm were chaos means nothing getting done

Extra Skill Points
Since we're already creaating a homebrew setting, I'd like to add my 2c -
SKILL POINTS
Giving an extra 2 skill points might be used in a way that you don't neccessarily want it to be used. From what I gather, you want the PC's to actually have a more broad/professional oriented background. Take a look at the article that I have attached( Going Beyond Class Skills: Education Skill System - Taken from Asgard, March 2002).
DEFENSIVE BONUS
You might want to use the rules regarding defensive bonus from UA. This is quite a popular rule that has been adapted by many threads on Enworld (and rightfully so if I may say so myself). Here's the link: Defense Bonus :: d20srd.org
Let me know what you think...

One more thing -
Since this thread is picking up quite a few post in a relatively short period of time, it's becoming very hard to isolate the posts that relate to rules or campaign setting or characters. You might want to create a few more threads for each of the above (and later another thread for the game itself of course).
In the meantime, I'm going to be working on a rogue (plain vanilla). He'll be a bored son of a middle class merchant from that coastal kingdom (can't remember the name right now - need to look it up in the earlier post).

Background
News of the coming war was my redemption. I had enough of sorting through accounting journals and trade agreements in order to appease my father, Orlando the renowned silk merchant of Grimstown. I am seventeen darn it! I need to see something of interest lest I die in this overcrowded town full of nothing but pure boredom. I told Silvia my twin sister of my intentions on the night that I slipped out of the family manor and joined the ranks of the enlisted. Even though the army has dragged the ruffians, thugs and scoundrels of society interested in nothing other than loot and pillage, there are still a few who like me, have joined for the thrill of adventure. It is their companionship that I seek. I feel as if every breath that I take has a taste of freedom that I have just recently discovered. It is sweet...oh is it sweet.

No game has EVER been hurt by giving the players a bit more on the skills end.... especially if this game is not all about combat and somewhat about role play and figuring things out via various skill rolls.... over time for a human that's 44 extra skill points by level 20.... at most.. that's 2 extra maxed skills at level 20 IF you put all those extra skill points in the same two skills.... not that bad if you ask me.. and if HolyMan wants to make sure we as players are more skills balanced rather than combat heavy... then why not right?
