“Zenith Advent” is a homebrew D&D 5e science fiction superhero campaign taking place in the futuristic megacity of Zenith One. Your character is a superpowered individual and a recent graduate of the Hero Collective. Over the last week or so, your character has been in contact with the advisor known as "Constance" to work on your theme, costume, and codename. Whether you are visiting or native to this city, it is obvious that only heroes who are on a team get taken seriously. So, you took the opportunity to sign up for one of the Collective's default team grouping programs. You are assigned as the Challengers, but are you up to the challenge?
This campaign will be played weekly every Wednesday at 5pm eastern US time.
This is a new campaign and the party will begin at level 3.
Themes for this campaign include heroism, courage, identity, and teamwork.
We will use DndBeyond for characters, Roll20 for maps, Discord for voice (mic required).
This campaign is streamed and recorded.
Players must be 18 years or older and must be friendly and tolerant of others.
If you are interested, please provide your discord and two character concepts you would like to play.
I will work with you to realize your superhero character, with homebrew feats and items if needed.
I was looking and either want to play a former assassin with a heart of gold (I’m okay with being basic) or a poor as dirt mechanic(alla redneck iron man) was Hoping on doing that
This is such an intresting idea and I’d love to play!

character idea 1: an Eldarin warlock with her celestial patron. A person raised by a group of thieves who seeks the way of forgiveness by taking the path of heroism.
character idea 2: a wizard born into a family of sorcerers/heros. Unable to be born with their talent so they had to work for their power, always trying to be the best they can be with some resentment towards the pros.
i have more ideas but those two are my favorite! :D
Hey, I’m interested in playing if you are still looking for players. My discord is Jamartavius6911
Character 1: A former Wall Street equivalent investor who’s fallen into drug abuse but accidentally unlocked powers through the drugs (since it’s homebrew, it’d be easy to work that mechanic in, look at NADpods arcaine for an example). He needs to navigate the morality of using drugs for good and also finding his true purpose in life since he’s hit rock bottom. Some sort of magic wielding class that when he takes his drugs has a wild magic surge.
Character 2: A sentient A.I. that was created by a secret government program. The A.I. was put into a warforged body and sent on a top-secret black ops mission. During the mission, the A.I. began to have sympathy for the civilians that were caught in the crossfire. It then abandoned its mission and moved to the city in order to help innocent people. It’d prob be an artificer.
Character 3: A former cult member who believed that his gods will and power were being manipulated and exploited by the elders of the cult. He believed that his cult should be using their powers to help innocent people, as is the teaching of said god. He tried to convince the elders to change the ways of the cult, but it’s a damn cult, they aren’t going to change. He tried to leave the cult, but they tried to stop him, resulting in their deaths. Following this he moved to the city, where everything is a new experience for him and he his sickened at the reality of the world. Seeing how horrible people can truly be towards one another, he sets out to fix the wrongs in the world by becoming a world famous superhero, in order to help create the world into a better place, as is the vision of his god. He would be a warlock.
I have a bunch of other character ideas that range from serious to funny depending on the vibe of the campaign.
Hello i am interested in your campaign. discord: Photonblade
character 1: Cyborg ninja An ex soldier who was critically wounded in battle and had most of his body replaced with cybernetic enhancements. He was forced to kill targets as an assassin until one day his programming was corrupted and he gain his free will back. He now seeks vengeance on the corporation that made him a slave.
character 2: The psychic blade swarm, A man born with low level psychic abilities one day got his mind invaded by a greater psychic hive mind that gifted him the ability to take his psionic powers to the next level. He wasn't the only one that was contacted and now he has to fight other psychic before they destroy his home.
Character Idea One: A human investigator gifted with mental prowess. Some say they're power is to see into the future or past, but rather they can see the patterns in societal behaviour and can create highly accurate hypotheses with the information they gather. The source of their mental gift could be an implant that began to malfunction. They could be the result of an experiment gone wrong or perhaps right, exceeding expectations. I was thinking they would be sort of a Sherlock Holmes, where they're also experienced in hand to hand combat and are always sharply dressed. So probably plays like a monk.
Character Two: An extremely talented human space pilot who lost the use of their body, but adopted a technology to attach their brain to their ship, giving them the ability to control a ship better than anyone could comprehend. After a while, the persons mind began to merge with the AI of the ship and they became one. When their body began to expire, they placed their cognitive capabilities into an android. After this transfer, the human/AI mind gained the ability to control and interact with technology as if they were other beings, not just machines.
A weird Idea I just had: what if these characters shared the same mind? And were essentially on the same "network" and operated as partners? Character one gaining the ability to control/speak to technology? I could RP as both characters sharing their skills with each other, but character one would act as the combat specialist where character two would be mostly bound to the ship and be more for story and add some cool RP opportunities? Just a thought! Haha
