Other Pathfinder: The Frostbound World

[Approved by the photon canine, LightWolf]

Champions of the Empire:
For ten thousand years, the Empire of Man and Dwarf has reigned over the majority of the half-frozen continent of Finem. Led by the Temporis Family, presently led by Emperor Bonum, long live the Emperor! However, some are not content with his reign, and seek to overthrow all that we have worked for over the past ten thousand years, after the Destroyer was ended. Now, the so-called Brothers of Freedom seek to overthrow our mighty emperor (Long live the Emperor!) and will only cast us into chaos. They must be stopped!

And when we have quashed the rebels, we will extend our reach to the heavens. We will take over the Flying Islands and squash their king, Lord Aeris.

Also, the Empire is still offering a reward of 500 gold to whomever can provide credible evidence about the North Pole Explosion ten years ago, which irreparably damage Frozeover Fortress, where a dangerous man known primarily as “The Digger” was imprisoned, as well as 300 gold more for information about the fate of the Digger’s soul.


Champions of Freedom:
Brothers, for years we have labored under the yoke of this damned empire! For years, they have ground our children into the dust. For years they have cursed the children of the earth, the Half-Dwarves, as abominations and forced them into lives of nothing. For years, they have insisted that draconic blood is superior to all others, and that the blood of elementals, of the heavens, and of the hells are almost as powerful – what an absurd basis for nobility and aristocracy. For too long, we have tolerated their mistreatment of dwarves and half-dwarves, and now is our chance! I can see cracks appearing at the seams, and we can end the empire once and for all.

I, Driso “the Dragon,” Dragonblood Wizard, have found a sympathetic noble to place on the throne. He will end these wicked policies, and we will free all the “Dissidents Against the Imperium” – Yes, all of them! Little Anne, we will bring your father back. Hawke, we will see your son returned to you. Yes, all of the prisoners! All of them!

If any of you know what happened to free the prisoners of Frozeover Prison ten years ago, please bring that information to me immediately.

Clarification on roles: I'm talking about (combat) stuff like Tank, Striker, Buffer, Controller, etc., and (noncombat) stuff like the Face, the Stealth guy, etc., not character classes.
 
Dorian here, in. No strong preference to side, Striker or Buffer for role, but willing to fill any gaps. Stealth guy or Face depending on Striker or Buffer.

Edit: Rebel - Striker - Stealth/Survival

Empire - Tank - Backstory in PM

I will take Leadership. This causes me to fill the niches of crafter, backup face and weird Agape-controlled arcane caster.
