I like it, It ties in my background very well. I don't mind narrative at all, Just write how you are most comfortable so this does not become a task, but an adventure for you as well.

I am online almost all the time, it's part of the job. So, I post pretty much any day that I have the info to post and time.
Does DEAF mean I am also MUTE? Reason I ask is that it IMPLIES I am mute, as it grants me the ability to use the Silent Spell feat for any spell that has a verbal component without increasing the casting time or the spell level. Just want to make sure I put the right kind of info on my character and how they will be played.
If I am mute, does that prevent me from using a 'Battlecry'? I would think that if that were the case, it would state as such in the revelations available that an oracle with the deaf curse can not take Battlecry. It does this for other revelations and certain cruses. Lame cursed oracles can't take certain revelations as it explicitly states so in the revelation entry.
The bonuses I get eventually are nice, but the character I am going with will still have penalties that I am ok with accepting. Deaf creatures are immune to bardic performances with audible components (as from the entry on the bard class description).

I believe the feat is for you not being able to hear yourself speak and therefore pronounce the syllables correctly.
also means you cannot benefit from my bardic performances.

I think Scott has it right, your character is not Mute, but as they cannot hear themselves speak, verbal components are tricky. Hence the Silent Spell. And you are right, there is no casting time or spell level increase. I missed that qualification.
I agree with your assessment. No, it doesn't prevent you from using 'Battlecry'.
As long as you are happy, I am happy.

I am not available on the weekends, but I will post every day. Heads up, though: My posting time will be weird to anyone in Europe or the USA because I'm in China.

Background
Sukri is one of the countless whore-sons who wandered out of Paddar's Perfume Garden and muscled into the burgeoning thieves' guild. Unlike most whore-sons, he found a true ally in what passed for his family. He plotted schemes, scams and burglaries with his half-brother Sunil from an early age. Sunil was two years older, and with his heavy frame and lighter skin, barely looked like his young brother. He claimed his father was a great hero from a foreign land. Sukri was fond of reminding him that he was probably just a common sailor, like his own. Regardless, he was the brawn to Sukri's brain.
The thieves' guild fingered Sunil and Sukri for initiation after the brothers pulled several daybreak robberies of merchant boats. During one of these robberies, Sukri liberated the strange, fragrant box that has confounded all attempts to open. He dared not show it to any other guild members, or even Sunil, because he feels it is his alone to solve. He spends maybe an hour each day studying and prodding it, hoping someday the tiny lock clicks.
The boys might have built great careers together had there not been a deadly schism in the guild. Soon after their initiation, Sukri unwittingly led his brother into a deadly trap. He picked up a tip - a small but wealthy merchant boat was due to leave port in the morning. They swam to the hull and climbed aboard. They slipped past the sentries and found a cargo hold filled with straw. The brothers were no fools, but before they could escape, a hooded figure flung a flask of alchemist's fire down the hatch, and the hold burst into flames. Sukri escaped through a porthole that his brother was too large to fit through. He wishes he had something tangible to remember Sunil by - a trinket, or even some last words. All he has now are nightmares of fire and smoke and screams.
Sukri left the guild, then the city. He now wanders in hope of finding a way to unlock the strange box. His travels through the Netherworld have brought him to stay in the Duchy, where he has seen emblems that are similar to those on the box. He believes he may find an answer to his riddle, and gold, in the Duchy's ancient dungeons.
Appearance
Sukri is between fifteen and twenty years old. He is certainly a foreigner, with his mocha skin, gnarled hair and bizarre accent. He is also shorter than most folk in the Duchy, and wiry. His sleeveless tunic, however, reveals a build that is all muscle and sinew. He moves with swift, calculated steps and prefers to keep his face low. A white burn from the fire that took his brother mars his right leg, and forces him to walk with the faintest limp. He keeps his ratty hair beneath a large, faded bandanna his mother gave him when he left the Perfume Garden. He is not very expressive or outgoing, but his strange voice and curious inflections often turn heads, and the streets taught him what to say and when to say it.

I named my LEW paladin Jaan, after a friend of mine. Spelt differently, pronounced the same.

Motor City, China if wikipedia is to be believed. And not weird to me.
I will look over the character a bit later. I will also get the Rogues Gallery thread up.
I am thinking of naming the game 'Mad King's Monkey'. I have a sneaking suspicion that I have hear this name somewhere, maybe even a module somewhere. But Google gave me nothing, so I might go with it.

I have taken the Sage Wildblooded Archetype, which is a variant on the ARCANE Bloodline. This uses INT instead of CHA as the bases of the class. Hence the high INT and low Charisma.
Party working for the Chancellor is fine with me.
1. His adopted father, been a senior member of the town guard, heard something and recommended him. Dad probably doesn't know the full plan, just that the Chancellor was looking for a certain kind of person.
2. Although Libros does not really have any experience as such. His dad knows his capabilities and that he can look after himself.
3. If necessary I can add a feud with the local bully who tends to pick on the 8 stone bookworm and is not quite intelligent enough to know that he can't win.
