Artorias / Sif Synthesist RP build advice

Silver Crusade

That was weird...:
I thought I made this thread but it isn't showing up at all anywhere and it isn't even on my list of created threads. I guess I must have accidentally clicked the wrong button at the bottom of the page as I was trying to rush out the door.

Anyway, in a home game of mine the GM said he'll allow me to make a Synthesist as long as I don't try to make it too good. I was hoping to make my character much like Artorias, and have him look like Sif when fused with his Eidolon. I'm also pretty new, so I don't really know what I'm doing too well and the other players are new as well. I know medium armor is pretty bad for arcane spellcasting, but considering it's going to be secondary compared to a greatsword and the fact that it's a natural counter-balance to simply being a synth I'm fine with the failure chance until I can get Arcane Armor Training. I was thinking first level I would actually start as something with Medium Armor Proficiency and Martial weapons so that I don't need to burn extra feats, so probably Ranger and then immediately go to Synthesist at level 2. He also has us roll for stats so I can't provide any numbers for stats right now unfortunately. My stats starting last game with this GM ended being the equivalent of like a 40 point buy (18, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12 and seemed pretty normal compared to the other players) so I'm assuming I can cover the needed ability scores adequately. Basically, I want to play him something similar to a 2-handed ranger that's arcane instead of divine.

Eidolon Progression thoughts:
Level 2 - Limbs (inside of mouth to hold sword), Skilled (disguise to look like normal wolf)
Level 3 - Tail
Level 4 - Claws

Main Questions:
What would the feats for myself and my Eidolon look like for the first few levels?
What would my stat hierarchy look like?
What things could I do to make sure I'm not overshadowing the other members?

Best Regards,
Aziraya
