Alrighty, one done character below. If there's any problems with items selected, spells chosen, or any other issues please let me know. I used the starting gold for a fifth level character (9,000). Hit points listed are currently average to give an approximate idea, will roll once the topic is up.
Future progression and an item wishlist is under the showing my work spoiler along with various maths related things. I've included a tentative progression to 20 but it's not particularly fleshed out since the campaign isn't slated to go that high.

Character Info
Character background:
Bjartr as a lad bore little resemblance to the man he is now. Bright smiles and bright laughter were gifted to all around him, living up to his name. He grew up as many young men do, hunting to provide for his family, and paying his respects to the gods. If he paid more attention than most to the tales told of dangerous beasts and weird magics, it still yet seemed that a hunter was all he would be. For no matter what spark rested inside, he was satisfied with his life.
That would change for him late one autumn, just before winter set in fully, as he ranged further than normal in his hunt. Lured into an ambush by a canny old beast, he was disarmed of his bow and clawed across the face. Only the spear his father insisted he carry as a man saved him. Before he could reach home, infection set in, and he spent the next few weeks in a haze of pain and fever. He made his way back to the village, where they would despair, thinking at best he would lose his eye and at worst that he would succumb to the infection. But he proved them wrong, and on the very day that they thought they would lose him, he sat up, and drank and ate and laughed. Only the faintest of scars mar his face, even though to this day the sclera of his left eye has a red mark. To the observer it was a miracle, but to him it was a trial. As he lay ailing, he dreamt of three tasks he had to accomplish, and only when he had done so did the fever break and his health return to him. Whether they were conjured up by his fevered mind or not, his vision inspired him. Feeling the hand of Odin upon him - the canny old beast, the wound to his eye, the spear that saved him, his recovery after completing the tasks - he gave not just worship to Odin but his service as a cleric.
His companion Geirr (Spear) he raised from an orphaned pup, but his familiar Vita (Wit), she of the satin feathers and black wit, came to him full grown one afternoon, warning him of a danger hidden in the grass.
He's spent the years since wandering and learning not just his land but the surrounding ones, dispensing wisdom to those who are wise enough to ask, and dealing with those who would abuse Odin's gift of magic. His laughter still rings freely but without the innocent brightness of youth, and his smiles have a knowing edge. He visits his family infrequently, but it has been several years since he last saw them, prompting him to start heading back to the Norse lands.
Character description:
Tall and lanky at 6'3" and 176 lbs, Bjartr has an imposing frame even though he is more wiry than bulky. After his illness, his blond hair lost some of its youthful golden sheen, now taking on a more flaxen hue. His beard has always been darker, closer to brown, than his hair, and as he grew it out it the reddish hue became more evident. At 28, middle age is still years away, but gray has already started to work its way in. He wears a shirt of chain links under a brown leather jerkin and loose pants that tuck into his leather wrapped boots. His upper arms are exposed to the elements, revealing a selection of divine runes threaded onto them. He carries a spear at the ready, haft carved and painted with the rest of his divine runes. He usually keeps his arcane runes prepared onto stones tucked away in a pouch as he prefers those to remain hidden. While travelling, he wears a wide brimmed hat and a voluminous cloak.
