Don't know about orc but If your concept is a really good one than I might allow the others. I am a heavy RP/character development guy so if your concept is good than I might allow it.
Different thread - Well their is usually three to a game.
OOC - Out of Character (out of combat close it is that) Where players can discuss things, ask the DM questions, and general chit chat.
RG - Rogue Gallery is where you post your characters the DM could post things on locations or NPCs and what not.
IC - In Character is the thread the game takes place in. So yes there will be combat in that thread. It is also where the RP will be taking place.
Glad your over in the OOC now just let me know what you were thinking of for a character.
Wanted to help you along a little (we still have 3 weeks till adventure release but you never know). I think with the only thing we are missing is an arcane caster of some sort in the group and an extra meat shield. FtF said he wanted to play a Hobgoblin Barbarian so that takes care of that if he is still going that route.
So Cyan wanted to help you come up with a character if you think you would like an arcane caster. The summoner counts but I don't see fireball or lightning bolt on their list so some of the "fan faves" would be missing for the group.
Was thinking witch as it would fit the area the adventure takes place in.

Well half way through I am very confused by Girri. You have listed as race Human but abilities are half elven. You have listed as class Cleric but features and skills are for Rogue.
I will consider the witch. I have only spent time with 3 characters so far in pathfinder: a bard, a sorcerer, and an alchemist. I was hoping to branch out and not go a 4th arcane. my shortlist currently is: paladin, cleric, ranger, witch, sorcerer
Cyan - if you want the meat shield, you can take that role. I am very flexible and won't mind trying the arcane route in PF, as I have yet to test it out very well.
