I dabble in many things, currently I primarily work at the art business my wife and I run.
I may have to see if my GM will run it :)

My current PF2E character is an Android Beastkin (scorpion) gunslinger with the Sterling Dynamo dedication (to give him a functional clockwork scorpion's tail). He's a pretty nuts support/persistent damage build.

Battle Cry and the war between Andoran and Cheliax brewing is an interesting thing that he probably has feelings about. The character is mostly done though we may wrap up that party in another adventure since their story just kinda ended when we finished malevolence and started our current campaign.

My first Pathfinder character, the one I played through the Beginner Box and Malevolence with,, was a human tiefling (Premaster) fighter who fought with a spear and shield. His whole deal was deserting from the Andoran army due to (in his eyes) their refusal to fight Cheliax head on.

My current PF2E character is a gunslinger whose whole thing is stacking as many debuffs on a crit as possible. He uses a variety of alchemical ammunition and a couple of good runes on his pistol to ruin the day of anybody he crits. He also stacks a hell of a lot of Damage over time.

People are very obsessed with the idea of a perfectly optimized character when that is not needed to be a strong character that can contribute to your party just fine. I've been watching suboptimized fun first characters absolutely stomping severe encounters in my campaign for a couple years now.

Sounds like a lot of fun, good luck!

Similar hill for me is that there isn't a "Bad" pathfinder class. Some are better than others and not every class is made for every kind of campaign but they all have a place and all of them can meaningfully contribute to a party without falling behind.

This makes for more of an ideally balanced party than necessarily a fun one to watch. I think there's definitely room to make adjustments, for sure. I do think having the cleric and champion (if champion is chosen) have conflicting gods is a neat way to add a bit of drama for a show format.

5. Sorcerer/Wizard/Kineticist (Blaster Caster can deal AOE to deal with groups)
6. Guardian/Champion/Barbarian (a front-line damage absorber to assist the commander and possibly the gunslinger (if Drifter or Vanguard especially) and have another body to protect the squishies)

My picks
1. Commander (commanders get stronger the larger the party is and are also a great class overall)
2. Gunslinger (I just really love gunslingers, plus they're great at ruining a single enemy's day)
3. Cleric (super useful for party boosting and healing)
4. Bard (nerfs enemies really well)

Oof, well at that point, go for it. Just practice your reflex checks for when your GM launches across the table at you. Gotta get those dodges in check.

Use it, and remind your GM that mindless creatures exist.

Addendum: this is overwhelmingly likely to be a misspelling since the transliterations of "-oke" (スモーク, smoke) and "-ork" (フォーク, fork) are both represented by "ーク" and it is easy to choose the wrong one. I merely stated it is unknown due to no direct proof existing. I hope this is acceptable!
