Hi everyone! 
Some notes and comments:
Trollbabe, Aeryk has been added to the submissions list.
Nazh, Jebbo's entry has been updated to fit the revision of his concept. As for character creation rules, please review post #14 in this thread, as it contains what I have so far...it answers your questions about stat generation and allowed sources. So far, there haven't been any posted houserules. For the most part, I'm a 'by the book' guy, but there may be some exceptions that come up. Shouldn't be anything that will change how you make your character, however.
Insight, I also am a fan of Order of the Stick. I'm surprised you haven't come across the strip before, as these boards are absolutely crawling with references. Anyhow, I endorse it heartily.
Everyone, Paizo's blog was updated yesterday with a two-page preview of the Player's Guide for Rise of the Runelords. While we're not playing that adventure path, this adventure does share its campaign setting, so the information is relevant. Included in the preview is a full chart detailing the core gods of the setting. Check it out at this fresh link:
Paizo's Blog
To everyone who may still be considering applying for this game, remember that the recruitment cut off is Friday.
Thanks!
Al

YeOlde,
I have updated Hakkara's initial description with some of the submission information you previously requested. Somehow, I missed that you wanted that in addition to what I had already posted! Anyway, it's added now. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Out of all of the OOTS characters, Insight, I would most highly recommend that you look into Thog. Thog is, without a doubt, the only reason besides the "brawler classes (Brb, Ftr, etc.) that anybody plays a Half-Orc.
"Thog like puppies."
_____________________________________
OK, I forgot those guidelines were there. Sorry! Regardless, I am now posting the ~updated~ Jebbo description below (compiled into one place all feat ideas, possible roles, etc.)
_____________________________________
Jebbo Barrelbuster, NG Male Halfling Bard
Primary Weapons: Twin Daggers (thrown and dual-wielded), Light Crossbow
Spells: Utilitarian (Travel, Detection, etc.)
Feat Ideas: Two-Weapon Fighting, Quick Draw, Weapon Finesse, various throwing feats
Role: Melee Support / Utilitarian Magic / Social Interaction
Jebbo is a jolly, friendly fellow, always ready to help those in need. He invariably keeps on the bright side of things, knowing that things will turn out OK. Still, sometimes he can be a bit of a naive simpleton.
He is a wanderer at heart, always traveling from place to place, always bringing his stories and advice, not to mention his appetite. When he was younger, he simply decided that he had had enough of his clan calling him a fool, and decided to set out to see the world, as his father had done. He would recount his experiences and travels in various towns that he stopped in, to the delight of the listeners. He realized that he had a talent for telling stories, and so he began to hone the art, traveling far and entertaining audiences with his accounts of it.
Jebbo is renowned among many as a veritable fountain of advice, some of it useful, most of it nonsense. He can always be heard telling of what his 'granpappy told 'im when I was just a li'l lad'. He holds a great respect for his elders, especially his grandfather, and always seeks to emulate their actions. He always follows the advice and wisdom of his elders, often relaying it to others, whether they want him to or not.
He is a short, slightly pudgy man, but he is not sensitive about his weight (in fact, he's rather proud of it), and anybody who comments on it receives only a hearty laugh in return. Despite his weight, he is in very good shape for a Halfling.
He belongs to no Halfling clan in particular, but he is typically accepted and treated with respect in most clans. After all, everybody loves a good story, and Jebbo always has one ready.

I know I'm late, but I have a cool concept... a KOBOLD!!!!
Yik-Yik "Yappy", Kobold Sorceror
"Yappy" likes to talk. Endlessly. He is a small, grey, unremarkable Kobold, except for his small size and weak muscles. This sets him apart from his fellows, who are mean and like to pick on "runty". Until "runty" hits them with a color spray, that is. Yappy, as he is called by his few friends, has a sense of fun which is never expressed because no one invites the poor Kobold to parties. This results in Yappy sitting alone in the bar by himself. He hopes that somebody will take pity on him and be his friend, but noooo...that never happens to poor Yappy. His friends that he does have, whoever, say he's a blast. Literally.
Spells: Save or dies/suck/lose/whatever, blasty, illusions
Role: Blaster/Sniper/Crowd Control,Face
Weapons: Morningstar, light crossbow, but preferably spells
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Gender: Male
EDIT: Got rid of proposed future PrCs, due to hard skill prereqs. WIll think of something.
Are you allowing the Kobold Ritual and Kobolds from this?

WarlockLord, you're not late. Recruiting doesn't end until Friday.
I added 'Yappy' to the list up top.

Concept #2
Sir Kermit Howard du Aristari Protector of the Innocent, gnome knight (PHII and WotC web preview), LG, primary weapon a warhammer, feat to be determined. His role is a tank protector. An idealist, inspired by the impossible dream.
To dream the impossible dream
To right the unrightable wrong
To fight the unbeatable foe
That one gnome, scorned and covered in scars
Would march into Hell on a heavenly cause
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To strive with my last ounce of courage
Until I'm laid to my rest
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
