Step 0: I wanted to create a character that was both physical and magical, and i wanted him to be able to throw sebon and shuriken at an enemy. As well with the introduction of pistols i figure i'd throw that in too to some degree.
So i thought up this jack of all trades character and looked through some photos and basically came up with this character
x44.xanga.com/de5f461031333263544136/w210091868.bmp
Step 1: Thinking about what race i wanted to be was more "do i want to be human? or do i want to be something really weird looking" I really was just looking for a human player, so i went with that and at first thought that i would need to have charisma for a magic class, so something like a sorcerer, hybrid with a figher, but str cha would be a paladin build and usually arn't human, so i actually moved onto class first, though i already had thought of some backstory elements.
Step 2: Looking through the classes i saw monk, and thought it would be a good stepping stool since i wanted to use guns later, a dex base like a monk or a rogue let me stay melee, and i wanted to go magic too, but dex cha wasn't anything i was particularly interested in, Half Elf Monk Sorcerer was what i was thinking at first, but as i scrolled down through sorcerer i saw Avengers and thought 'they have ranged too right?' so i ended up going Monk-Avenger, and saw that an Elf fit into that perfectly.
So than i decided on an Elven Monk-Avenger.
Step 3: I Choose to run a high in one stat, small in another, and weak in all the rest since long term
so i spent the 16 of the 22 points on 18 Dexterity, and 5/6 of the remaining points to get 14 points on Wisdom, then the 1 left to increase one of the 10 to 11.
So i got Dex: 18+2 Wis: 16+2 Str: 8 Cha: 10 Con: 11 Int: 10
Step 4: Went Acrobatics to do stupid melee flips and tricks, Went Athletics because i had a -1 str mod to keep up my athletic ability, but can't pick up or push anything (just like me T.T) Then i went Insight so i could seem slightly intelligent as a hero, But most of my stats are 0s.
Step 5: Went with a nice feat to keep my AC high and awesome.
Step 6: Selected my Powers
Step 7:
Step 8: Calculate...
Step 9: I Wrote out some basic back-story, but expanded upon it further. i won't put it here but theirs gotta be one or two things your character is always searching for. Weather it be power, prestige, money, revenge. or other stuff.

Basic information about your character

Job: Odd Jobs to get by.
Background: Charles was born to a priestess of the Elven kingdom, and a Hunter in the Elven domain, His Mother died during the birthing process leaving his father to care for him. The Man was a new-age hunter using projectile weaponary from a sling to a rifle and everything between.
The man took jobs as an Assassin traveling between towns killing, always keeping Charles out of the loop until he was old enough. About the age of 13 Charles began gathering teachings from his father, In Physical, and Ranged combat techniques, teaching him how to use and throw knives at enemies, and defeat enemies with his fists. The Man noticed that Charles had gathered some of his mother's ability to use divine magics along the way.
At about the age of 16 Charles Decided that he didn't want to be a part of this life style, and that he would go off on his own. His father told him that in two years he would do so anyways. And that if he is able to find his grandfather He'll receive the family mark, a magical Tattoo that will aid him in the future.

Looking at this i was able to determine a few things the character wouldn't be good in, and a few things he'd likely focus in. of course you have a lot of say on this because it is your character after all.
For Negative feats These were implemented. Because i wanted the characters personality to be something like me i thought what would i have. I'm not very intimidating, and rarely diplomatic so instead of giving one of them a -2 i gave both a -1. Because i'm nothing Even close to streetwise and wouldn't be able to gather information well i gave streetwise a -2. Then i wanted to put my allergies in their in some way, but I didn't know how, so i put -1 Atk against Beasts with Fur, Meaning Dogs, Rats, etc.
i looked through the character to try n find some other stats to modify, and i thought about -1 to strength checks, but i already have low str so it wouldn't make much of a difference. Instead seeing Healing surges i thought about how to take 1 of those away. Sad people don't care about living as much, and for that reason give up earlier -1 healing surge justified.
Finally, i'm scared of small bugs. I can kill them but they freak me out, So i put that as the fear. If i'm around small bugs i get scared.
Odd; -1 Intimidate, -1 Diplomacy
Shy: -2 Streetwise
Allergic: -1 Atk Vs Beasts with fur
Sad: Healing Surges -1
Swarm: When Next to or inside of a swarm of insects you are forced to run away or become immobilized. Possibly Retrained.

Positive Feats
Thinking about positive feats i wanted to do some proficiencies, and after that i didn't really care too much. So looking over the back story pistol and sniper proficiency would be good starts, but their more long-term investments. I didn't want to go into one specific weapon style of fighting because he wasn't trained specifically into one of those. Unless your an orc born and raised as an axe wielding warrior Weapon Expertise isn't likely coming up in this starting group of abilities.
So From then on i thought what he'd be doing, lotta punching with his hands and throwing knives and such from afar. With that brings us the Quickdraw, and the 2 weapon fighting, and two weapon defense.
Pistol Proficiency: Proficient With Pistols
Sniper Proficiency: Proficient With Sniper Rifles
Two Weapon Fighting: +1 Damage
Two Weapon Defence: +1 AC and Reflex
Quickdraw +2 Initative
These positive rely heavily on being able to be justified by your characters personality and back story, half ass it and you'll get half assed abilities.
