Hey, Jarval! I didn't really know where else to post this, so I decided to post it here. First off, here's my character:
Background: I'm not entirely familiar with your world, obviously, but Corbin could have easily grown up in Bizmar. Growing up the son of an esteemed instrument crafter, Corbin's appreciation and talent in the arts of stringed instrument making are natrual. After his father's death, however, Corbin, technically a legal adult, lost much of a sense of direction. Aside from his trade, the younger Dino had very little to go on, so, unfortunately, he turned to crime. As part of a gang in which an individual persona was required, Corbin adopted the guise of a strange, otherworldly sort, wearing closely-cut black suit-clothes, and fighting with a black, silk fan serrated with metal on the edges.
During his several years of gang membership, Corbin's number of contacts was not limited, and once of these contacts happened to be a rather disquieting wizard. Becoming fascinated with the power this man seemed able to wield with little thought, and following some sagely advice from the strange recluse, Corbin decided to leave Bizmar and his life of crime behind. So did Corbin Dino become a travelling minstrel, selling his skill at strings -- both playing and creating, across the land. In secret, Corbin follows a personal quest for arcane power -- his path, like his psuedo-mentor, is that of a "path beyond." Basically, the study of demons and other chaotic creatures, eventually coming across the Far Realm to the source of ultimate chaos and, to the scholar, ultimate power.
Mechanics: Basically, I'm shooting for the Alienist PrC. I built Mr. Dino here to be right on the cusp of actually being able to take a level in the Alienst PrC, once he reaches 7th level. Though, if that's not an option, I still like the build for Corbin and will easily find another route.
Super Special Magic Item: I'd be into a robe or similar item that gives a decent boost to AC. I'd also dig any sort of device that allows one extradimensional/planar access. Enchantments for Corbin's war fan are also always, always welcome.
Uh, hi everyone!

I've always had a fondness for them, only magnified by a certain Story Hour... 
As you've probably noticed, the setting is very much a work in progress, so I'm sure we can fit something in. I'm got pretty firm ideas as to what Bizmar and Velesturia are like, and neither of them really fit the weapons = maturity bill. Goetan, on the other hand, would work very well for that. It's got a fairly martial culture, and my general perception of the Goetanese is a rather ritual-based society. Like I say, the setting is a work in progress, so I can be fairly flexible when it comes to adding in ideas. As you say, let's collaborate
