Here's my age/height/weight rolls. You said you'd prefer it be random. Actually ,though, that gives me a 5'5" height, 220 lb weight. This is obese & not my style. If you don't mind, I'll change that.
My half-orc ranger will be strong and fast. A good archer and able to deliver a powerful melee attack. He'll also be stealthy. With his darkvision then, he'll be a great scout. He will lack a good AC & HPs & Charisma. Thus he might be best teamed with a combat-oriented cleric and a social rogue. But whatever. Airwalkrr will chose the best team. I'm just putting forth a PC I'm excited to play.
I'll stat him out below. I see him as having been hired by one of the mine owners or the mayor as a guard/scout. He would be somewhat loyal to that person, as otherwise he would have nothing, I figure. I also have some other ideas on his background to integrate him more into the setting. I'll email you those, airwalkrr, and we can discuss if they're practical.
I can't finish it now. I'll come back & edit this post.

Appearance: Solomon Kreel is short and very stocky. Broad and powerfully muscled, he still moves with an easy grace. He wears his black hair in thick dreadlocks that fall to his shoulders.
Personality: Solomon is reserved. Having been treated like an social inferior all his life, he is slow to open to others, but very loyal to those who have been kind to him. He loves the outdoors, where he can excell in tracking, ambushing, and guarding.
Background: Solomon isn't sure who his parents were. He grew up in the Bronzeword Lodge, having been taken in as a child by Nogwier after having been discovered in the camp of some orc raiders. The rangers and druids of the order raised him, and Solomon was an able pupil. He learned to fight and track, and found a home with the others of the order. He worked, scouting and patrolling the area, particularly the swamps, where he learned much about the ways of the lizardfolks.
On his occasional visits to Diamond Lake, he has met Dannath, the only daughter of Lazare, the former chessmaster. He has become secretly fascinated with her, and now tries to make excuses to visit the town to see her.
