I really like the Gunner, his internal dialogs are interesting, even if they don't play out in the game (yet). That's more your talent as a writer, I'm sure what ever you come up with will be compelling.
Cleric's and wizard's are my favorite archetypes. How do you work a death cleric in with the current history? Is he a mortician of the Christian tradition, or does he belong to a cult or a lost religion, or does he have a voodoo background? One of the last Zoroasters? Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish or Hindu?

No objections from me. I too am feeling constraints, and so I empathize.

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate the encouragement. 
The thought right now is Caillou (kai-YOU), a keeteel bokor (translation: a kenku voodoo priest) who was captured on his native Hispaniola by slavers, to spend his formative years as a parlour curiosity in Paris. One of his previous masters taught him a surprising amount of academics, and a few years consorting with gypsies and criminals in the city's underbelly furthered his education in other ways. But he retained much of what he learned of shamanic magic from his youth, supplementing it with bits of gypsy fortunetelling, French hedge magic, and of course voodoo. He returned to the Caribbean only a few years ago, stowed away on an English merchant ship, intent on setting right what happened to him and breaking the power of slavery in the region.
[MENTION=20323]Quickleaf[/MENTION], the bond I'm planning to take with him is Arcane Rivalry. Maybe the Baron de Pointis was one of those previous masters.
[MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION]- Sure, that sounds about right. Nia's gone to see about a crew, since she's the sociable one, while Caillou inspects the ship...carefully. From a distance.

Unsung,
as a fellow Canadian, your use of Caillou as a name is hilarious to me. For those unfamiliar with federally-sponsored children's tv programming, here is a sample.
"I like exploring, I'm Caillou."

Hey now, Caillou's a good, solid French-Canadian name, and I'm taking it back.
Of course, now that you've posted that, @Kobold Stew, I might not be able to...
@Shayuri- Caillou's very much an academic in his approach to magic. The way I'm thinking, he'd be an arcane caster but for the fact that the wizard spell list feels wrong (too flashy) for voodoo. His early exposure to the rigid formality of European religion and science colours a lot of what he does.
