Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Can I say that my tattoos protect me like armor?
Which is to say, it will weigh as much as it says it will, I will be as hindered as I would be as if I was wearing that armor, I will pay for it, everything will be exactly the same, but in-universe I'm not wearing armor.
I've got a nice character idea revolving around a young woman who made a deal with an aggregate of wicked spirits (think Exdeath) previously sealed off in a rock. I'm not sure if I should be Witch, Shaman or Spiritualist for it.

Sure, let's not sweat it. Jane's character's getting extra tails without taking the magical tail feats.
Okay, so my only two things I have to say before everyone's approved.
@Mach: You are aware that Paladins are restricted to Lawful Good?
@Acer: Does your eidolon's race affect your abilities? If not: I recommend a race that is not going to lock your character into an evil alignment. Even then, you don't have to change it if you really want to play an evil character, it just makes what little plot we'll have that much smoother.
I understand where the wariness is coming from (having played with terrible Evil characters before), but Satomi's Lawful Evil. She isn't going to burn down orphanages/kill important NPCs/get the party into needless trouble because LOL She's Evil.
Unless the plot involves crossing the paths of baatezu (who she works for), she'll probably be fine. If you really insist, though, the rules allow me to shift to Lawful Neutral.

Lawful Neutral is preferrable. I appreciate it. (Also, LOL your Eidolon's Marauder Shields)
If you don't allow this particular deviation, I'll change my class to something that will allow it.
I had said earlier in private that for this setting, I'd rather have Paladins err on the side of Lawful rather than Good, but it's only one step, and all of the Paladin powers are pro-good anti-evil, so this is fine, really.
Appearance: Satomi is average of height, with short hair and a toned body from training. When not wearing her armor, Satomi wears a loose gi with baatezu insignia emblazoned on the shoulders and sandals, the austerity symbolic of her dedication to Ringoku. Although normally hidden underneath her clothing, she has a series of tattoos running from her neck down to the small of her back - these burn red-hot whenever her infernal masters demand something of her.
About: Satomi is a repo woman of sorts, killing those who default on their payments to the wicked principalities below.
Satomi was born the third child to a minor aristocratic family. When she was 15, her family elders made a deal with a devil: in exchange for her soul and servitude, they would become one of the most prominent families in Ohtsuki. Satomi consented to this arrangement, partly because of her love for battle and partly because of significant family pressure.
After undergoing literal training from Hell, Satomi was bound to a lesser unique devil and given dominion over wicked creatures.
Personality: Satomi sees herself as repayment of sorts, sacrificed for the good of the entire clan. It's not that she sees any problem with killing her targets: they are unscrupulous enough to have dealt with devils in the first place, after all.
Satomi is a genuinely nice and polite person who just so happens to worship and answer to devils. It's standard policy to allow her masters' debtors one more chance to pay them back, and Satomi gives a wide berth to those that do. Her contracts aren't even that big to begin with - she's just starting out, and she's already rising through the ranks.
One thing Satomi enjoys more than anything is a good, no-holds-barred fight. Although her summons are her primary means of combat, she's also very good with staves.
Satsujinki-hei: Satsujinki-hei's essence was that of an imp, who was cannibalized because of some unknown transgression. He manifests as a seven-foot-tall monstrous humanoid, with steel skin and blue veins running through his body. His long hands end in sharp claws, and his face - a strange blend of dog and shark - is marked by razor-sharp teeth and glowing eyes. Satsujinki-hei is not very intelligent, and carries out his master's will to the word.
I was going to say, a while back, that I was back, but it seems in the meantime you've gotten yourself a good number of players and a good assortment of classes. So I guess I'm out.
Not a bad thing, honestly; a friend of mine happened to be thinking of starting a Pathfinder game himself, so I might be playing with him. And I'd really rather not do two campaigns at once.
