Ah, I'm willing to change my concept. 
I'll work on it today.

Maybe it might be good to have someone from each base class or at least as many as possible since Arani said we'll need skills. So maybe one of you could go dedicated, and the other go smart? In either case you'll hit a spellcasting advanced class at the same time, its just that the dedicated would go with the Acocolyte class. For spells that require the Acocolyte's focus you could simply say that your belief in your ability to make things happen comes from your wand, so there isn't a terribly religious conotation.
So far we have:
Tamalyn, Fast Hero (Shalimar)
? Half-Orc, maybe Tough or Strong? (Lichtenhart)
?, Smart, (Psychognome)
?, Smart, (Agamon)

Appearance/Personality: Kevin is a small boy with short orange/red hair and green eyes. He’s obviously neither very athletic nor energetic. He wears small, thin-rimmed glasses and he has a habit of constantly pushing them up the bridge of his nose. Kevin is fairly shy around people he doesn’t know very well, though he does enjoy being around people he considers his friends. Books are a passion for him; he can often be found sitting with his nose in some book or another.
Background/History: Kevin grew up an only child. His mother, Karen is a muggle accountant, his father, William, was a wizard that died when Kevin was only 3 years old. Officially, he died from an alchemical accident, though there are whispers that perhaps it wasn't an accident, though Kevin knows nothing of that and his mother speaks little of it. Kevin’s affinity for books and learning led Karen to show him his father’s spellbooks. He took a great liking towards the material, so she enrolled him in a magic school. Though Karen knew that she was starting her son on a dangerous path though life, she realized that, just like his father, magic was in his blood, and it would be best to get him to learn to be a mage the right way.

I could fill up the Dedicated/Acolyte spot. Just have to come up with a concept.

While a balanced party would be nice, I'm not sure that a Dedicated hero is really that necessary in this game. In fact, having more than one Smart in a Wizard school campaign isn't all that weird. And a Charismatic hero would probably be even more useful than a Dedicated one. Of course, it's up to you psychognome.
