My name is Dustin. I am very interested in joining your adventure. I'm 40+ male that works from home and have a wide open schedule. I have an open mind, honest, not easy to offend, mindful of others. I like to think a nice and personable kind of guy quick to laugh and slow to anger. Will always prefer to discus and issue then fight about it. The only drama I want is in my gamming session.
What I'm looking for in a group: roughly 50/50-RP/Combat. I'm also good with more combat as well. Prefer weekly sessions but am up for anything. Honest, considerate, friendly and respectful players.. Good chance RP will get stronger the more we play and get to know each other. Make some friends. Go on an adventure. I think some of the best moments come from mistakes and then overcoming them. I hope to have some laughs along the way. I'm open to play whatever role is required but Talps is my 1st choice followed by Sintel, my mage. I have the PH, DMG and MM in book form along with them on DnD beyond with Xana guide. I'm willing to DL any other content required from you. I have zero knowledge of the adventure you wish to run.
I do have some RP experience. Played AD&D back in the day. Recently playing GURPS. I'm familiar with the 5e system however it will be my 1st time playing 5e. Just being honest. It may take me a session or 2 to get comfortable with it. I Hope that doesn't discourage you and you continue to read.

Personality: Nobody stays angry at me or around me for long, since I can defuse any amount of tension. I know a story relevant to almost every situation. Ideals: Honesty. Every attack should reflect the soul; they should come from within and reveal who we really are.

Backstory: Zhu Kai's peaceful home of Shuki Village was destroyed by a Young White Dragon named Crykel when he was only a year old. Rescued and adopted by Monks, he trained in harnessing his Ki under Roshi the Immortal Tortle to one day defeat this monstrous foe upon his eventual return. Now at the age of 8 (14 human years), he keeps himself occupied by participating in every fighting tournament he can find, for training and for fun. He has bright tourmaline eyes, and light skin mostly covered by golden blonde hair. He stands at 4 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds.

Name: Flint (Artin Darkjaw) Race: Dwarf Class: Bard Alignment: Neutral Good Personality Traits: If someone is in trouble, I’m always ready to lend help. I judge people by their actions, not their words. Ideals: Sincerity. There’s no good in pretending to be something I’m not. (Neutral) Bonds:(I did change this one a little but but it fits the characters backstory better than the original one did):I had a family once. What happened to them must never happen again. Flaws: I have a weakness for the vices of the city, especially hard drink.
Backstory: Artin's story starts out like anyone's really. She lived in a house with her Mother, Father and older brother Thorin. It was a happy time, full of discovery and wonder, magic and realization. And most of all, music. Beautiful music that, as Artin kept learning, helped her hone in on her magical powers and helped her cast very powerful spells. Life was good for the Darkjaws, life was very good. Until, that is, the bandits came. They came to the village and took everything. Thorin told her to run as far away and to not look back until it was safe. So she did. Artin kept running until the shouts and screaming were gone. When the screams stopped, she came back to the village. It was eerily quiet, and there was no one there. She went home only to find it up in flames with smoke billowing out through the windows. She sat on the front steps, not daring to look inside at what horrors could await her. It just then hit her, she had no home. No family....no one. So she left and went to the city hoping maybe her brother made it out and went there, but that was instantly a dead end. She decided from then on that she would protect innocent people from anyone that tried to hurt them. So that what happened to her would never happen to anyone else ever again. Artin Darkjaw, in her mind, was dead. She couldn't be Artin anymore because the Artin everyone knew died in that bandit raid 1 year ago. She made sure that anyone that knew her couldn't. Even started going by a different name, a boys name, Flint. No last name needed.
What you're looking for in a group: I'm honestly just looking to have fun. 70 RP/30 Combat, maybe 60/40. Because of Corona I am in quarantine for a while and I need something to do. Discord name and ID number: EnbyGamer03#1782
Hi, i've played D&D for a year IRL with a public group that organized one shots and loosely connected semi-campaigns. I've mostly played Rogue Masterminds and have been really wanting to be either a steel laden juggernaut or landsknecht for a bit. I haven't played games beyond level 5 though i have played many classes like paladin, cleric, warlock, ranger and monk.
Character Info
Name: Franz von Stahlwand
Race: Human (Variant)
Background: Noble (Knight Variant w/ squire)
Class: Cavelier (Though I do have a home-brew that'd i'd like to use)
Alignment: Lawful Good
Franz was born into the noble Stahlwand family, sworn to aid their kingdom of Enix as knights of the Lawbringers. The order gained it's renown as imperal enforcers as well as demon hunters though fell recently as their numbers fell from constant combat with demonic hordes and corruption from devils. Franz, himself only recently finished out his term as a squire was quickly appointed a squire of his own to prove himself. Being the fresh faced adventurer that he is Franz is idealistic and near desperate to gain praise and renown in lands beyond his home to both restore his knighthood order's reputation.
I'm looking for a long-term campaign, ideally one where i can really lean into the knight errant's backstory.
5e/RP experience: I have played and DM'd 5e for slightly over two years now.
Character Info Name: Doc Halliday Race: (Variant) Human Class: Artificer, Battle Smith Alignment: Neutral Personality traits: I’m a gambler who can’t resist taking a risk for a potential payoff. Someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back; it's only fair.Ideals: Independence. I am a free spirit—no one tells me what to do. The way it is, is the way it is: we gotta deal with what's in front of us. Bonds: A powerful person killed someone I love. Some day soon, I’ll have my revenge. Flaws: I can’t resist taking a risk if there’s money involved. I can't stand to be alone, even if it means literally making a companion.
Backstory: My existence, whether in total or by parts, will only ever be summed up in two words: comic tragedy. Apparently abandoned by my parents, I was raised by the Rock Gnome clan upon whose proverbial doorstep I was washed upon. It wasn't until my seventh year that I realized how different I was from my clan family. My body grew much faster and larger than my mental acuity, which is the opposite of the typical gnome. However, my fingers became very dexterous and I was taught the best as could be expected for a gnomish aberration. The entire clan raised me and taught me, imparting skills passed on only within the families. Machine creation, magical theory, applied and theoretical mathematics, alchemical properties, and other natural sciences. I used these skills to create devices that performed the many hated chores and tasks assigned to me so I could focus on spending time with my first love, Aspen Thimbletinker. She became the light of my life and I grew to be as driven as she was in obtaining treasures and discovering secrets. Aspen taught me the way of the world: possession equals ownership, and a nice smile with quick wits mitigates problems. Also, a sharpened piece of steel will dissuade any objections to an objects change in ownership when smiles and wit doesn't work. With Aspen's growing proclivity for owning new things, I grew equally adept at dissuading previous owners to continue their objections. It was on one such occasion, between my sixteenth and seventeenth year, that I failed Aspen. The last memory I can recall is Aspen beaming at me as she displayed the small vial of sand she recently acquired. Everything turned into white nothingness and I awoke in a strange place to the sound of ravens. I lost my real name in that frozen white nothingness, so I became Doc Halliday, the wandering gambler. For ten years I've been honing my skills and improving my machines in order to restore my name, lost memories, and find my Aspen.
What you're looking for in a group: All of my experience thus far has been 100% tabletop; I am new to the online venue for playing D&D (so I ask patience if accepted). I am merely looking for a good game to enjoy participating in, whether it be primarily RP, battle, strategy or any combination thereof. I would prefer an older group, as I myself am 37, and am not interested in constantly worrying whether or not I'll offend someone by something I say while playing.
Discord name and ID number: Ironclad_KMD3#7985
I am fairly new to using discord, so if you intend to have the face-to-face with me for consideration into your group, I ask you email me a day and time for the call at karloisme@gmail.com. Thank you very much for your time.
5e/RP experience: Still new to RPGs. Currently playing a wizard in a Saturday campaign Character Info Name: Laedrian Siannodel Race: Sea elf Class: Cleric -- Tempest Domain Alignment: CG Personality traits: No one could doubt by looking at my regal bearing that I am a cut above the unwashed masses. Ideals: Independence. I must prove that I can handle myself without the coddling of my family. (Chaotic) Bonds: My family promised me to the Storm Lord in return for safe passage on the seas. I will be the ideal servant to my god to ensure my House's prosperity. Flaw: Because my family gave me away I am insecure of my place in the world. I too often hear veiled insults addressed to me, and I’m quick to anger.
Backstory: Third son of a noble family, he was promised to the Storm Lord in return for safe passage for his family's ships. What you're looking for in a group: A fun adventure. Some good RP within the group. Some tensions are all right, but not looking for edgy or grimdark. Most sessions should be fairly fun and uplifting, though even the death of a PC can be satisfying so long as it's consistent with the story. Discord name and ID number: Old Wolf #0010
5e/RP experience: I have played PC in 5e for a little more than 2 years now. Character Info Name: Ella Thimbletinker Race: Rock Gnome Class: Wizard, war magic Alignment: Chaotic neutral Personality traits: I often get lost in my own thoughts and contemplation, becoming oblivious to my surroundings. Ideals: knowledge the path to power and self improvement is through knowledge. Bonds: I have been searching my whole life for the answer to a certain question. Flaws: I speak without really thinking through my words invariably insulting others.
Backstory: I am a very cute, fun loving gnome, with an intense curiosity and is easily distracted by shinny things. I was a bit of a trouble maker in my youth, prone to kleptomania, with an insatiable taste for pastries, getting into a lot of mischief and causing my family many a restless nights, all in good fun, I assure you. One day my village felt that it was in their best interest that I be sent away to a friend of the family who just might be able to channel my enthusiasm into something more...we'll say... constructive. However, my destructive nature found its calling; explosions and pyrotechnics. I have concluded that my nature is not entirely safe to the typical quiet life of a gnome, and thus have decided to embark upon the long road and see what adventures and treasures may avail themselves to me. What you're looking for in a group: I am looking for a fun game with people who enjoy a combination of roll playing, battle and strategy. My experience with D&D has been all tabletop so this will be the first time that I have done anything online so please, bear with me. I am easy going and just want to play more D&D. Discord name and ID number: humminbird22#5659
5e/RP Experience: I have played PC in a few RPGs in the past few years, but I only started playing PC in 5e recently.
Character Info: Name: Dox Race: Changeling Class: Ranger - Hunter Alignment: Chaotic Good Background: Outlander
Personality Traits: I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups. I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won't save you from a hungry owlbear. Ideals: Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it. (Chaotic) Bonds: I suffer awful visions of a coming disaster and will do anything to stop it. Flaws: I remember every insult I've ever received and nurse a silent resentment toward anyone who's ever wronged me.
Background: I grew up on the road, travelling around, rarely ever entering towns. My parents, Hars and Aunn, explained that it was for the best. So for the first fourteen years of my life, I lived in the wilderness with my parents, helping them to hunt down any creatures that would threaten civilization. But about three months before my fifteenth birthday, an owlbear attacked me and my parents, and killed my father, Hars. My mother and I barely managed to take down the Owlbear, with the Owlbear taking big bites out of both of her legs. My mother and I knew that she needed medical treatment from a cleric immediately if she was ever to walk again. So we went to the nearest town. Upon arrival at the gates, we were met by a high ranking official in the town, Evandur Dundragon, who informed us that we would not be allowed into the town. We left in shame, and I swore that one day, I shall make Evandur Dundragon suffer in ways he could never dream. Soon after leaving, we met another wandering Changeling, Vil, who promised me that he would get my mother to a good cleric. I agreed to leave my mother with the other Changeling, and the Changeling offered me the services of his bodyguard, Darryl Longclaw. I accepted, and Darryl and I returned to the site of the owlbear attack that killed my father, and buried my father's body by the nearest tree. The two of us then explored the wilds for the next few years, until I was about 19, before Darryl was killed by a crocodile's bite. After Darryl's death, I took up his identity. Whenever I interact with anyone, I do so as Darryl. I'm very slow to trust anyone with my true identity as Dox, the Changeling.
What I'm Looking For In A Group: I'm looking for a group that engages in a healthy blend of strategizing, roleplaying, and combat, all mixed into an engaging and satisfying world.
5e/RP experience: over two years I have played in PC in 5e mostly on a board. Character Info Name: Kyora Svetyos Race: Centaur Class: Fighter, rune fighter (UA) Alignment: Lawful neutral Personality traits: I am not afraid to speak my mind and tell others my opinion, the truth or get into fights. I have a huge curiosity for humanoid people and often try to understand them and their ways. Ideals: Inquisitive. Everything is new, but I have a thirst to learn (neutral) Bonds: My freedom is most precious possession. I'll never let anyone take it from me again. Flaws: I don't take kindly to some actions and motivations of the people of this land, because these folk are different from me.
(I would like to be a centaur fighter, if you don't want or feel that a centaur would be appropriate for this, that is completely understandable and okay)
Backstory: I do not know of where I was born or where my homeland exists in the world's beyond one's understanding. But I do know that I was taken from my mother's side days after I was born only to be bought by a nobleman and enslaved to protect his family as a personal guard. Years in training have taught me how to fight and to protect those around me. I was taught the lore of the Giants and their form of rune magic, which of my Fey ancestry, came natural. After years of training and fighting for my master and his family, a Gladiator tournament came and he made a bet that I would win due to my strength and deadly training. Somehow the bet my master made was lost and he lost me to the person to whom he lost the bet. So I was again taken to my new owner who then granted me my freedom. He hated slavery and therefore granted me the freedom that I longed for since I was a filly. Never again will I be owned, as I have for so many years in my life.
What you're looking for in a group: the things that I look for in a group is good roleplaying, strategizing in battle or even outside of combat, fun and not overly serious about everything, good sportsmanship and teamwork. This is also my first time playing D&D online, so please patience and a little guidance of needed would be nice. Discord name and ID number: seraph_the_kid#3858
5e/RP experience: 8 years as a player, with 6 years as a DM (on and off). Started w/ D&D, but have also played various games in PF, SW FFG, Cyberpunk Red, and various other games.
I had 2 potential ideas for a character, I am putting them into spoilers so to save space.
Character Info Name: Kai (aka: Kaisaras Kreig) Race: Human Class: Paladin (Oath of Redemption) Alignment: Neutral Good (bounces back and forth on the Law-Chaotic, but is always Good) Personality traits: 1) I prefer to solve problems without violence, but I finish fights decisively. 2) I enjoy being out in nature; poor weather never sours my mood. Ideals: Redemption. Everyone deserves and ought to have a chance to do better, to change and do good. (Good) Bonds: My life is a series of burnt bridges...one day though, the flames will catch up. Flaw: I feel peace/catharsis when I fight or am risking my life.
Backstory(Summary): Born into a long line of Knights, sworn to service from birth. After his father's & brother's death, he ran from that life, not wishing to replace or insult his family's memory. He would join with another, and become a pirate for many years, rising in infamy until she crossed a line he couldn't, they broke away from each other on less than friendly terms, she kept his arm, and he, her heart. Now he seeks a path of redemption and mercy.
Character Info Name: Tarkkin Race: Simic Hybrid (would like to Flavor it as something special) Class: Rouge/Fighter (build would vary on character arc/party comp) Alignment: Neutral Good Personality traits: 1) I like to read and memorize poetry. It keeps me calm and brings me fleeting moments of happiness. 2) I don’t talk about the thing that torments me. I’d rather not burden others with my curse. Ideals: Greater Good. It is each person’s responsibility to make the most happiness for the whole tribe. (Good) Bonds: I seek to fulfill my dream. I will make a home for myself, where I can find love. Flaw: I am monstrous in appearance, so I do everything I can to keep it hidden.
Backstory: Drow parents captured by Gith and experimented on while his mother was pregnant. When he was born, they continued the experiments on him until they were able to escape back to the material plane one day. Living in the forest for a good number of years, Tarkkin had the misfortune of being captured by slavers one day who believed him to be some rare fey or abomination. They sold him to the fighting pits where he survived until his fellow fighters got fed up and rioted. Once free, Tarkkin found out how different he truly was from everyone else. Despite this, he strove to find a place for himself, a place to call home, and where he may find the "warmth of love" that his parents had.
What you're looking for in a group: Looking for a group of people who are willing to play their characters, and don't mind when I do. That said, I'm also a big fan of storytelling and character development, and fully support actions taken in its name. Discord name and ID number: Kiraas#4037

Artin kept running until the shouts and screaming were gone. When the screams stopped, she came back to the village. It was eerily quiet, and there was no one there. She went home only to find it up in flames with smoke billowing out through the windows. She sat on the front steps, not daring to look inside at what horrors could await her. It just then hit her, she had no home. No family....no one. So she left and went to the city hoping maybe her brother made it out and went there, but that was instantly a dead end. She decided from then on that she would protect innocent people from anyone that tried to hurt them. So that what happened to her would never happen to anyone else ever again. Artin Darkjaw, in her mind, was dead. She couldn't be Artin anymore because the Artin everyone knew died in that bandit raid 1 year ago. She made sure that anyone that knew her couldn't. Even started going by a different name, a boys name, Flint. No last name needed.
What you're looking for in a group: I'm honestly just looking to have fun. 70 RP/30 Combat, maybe 60/40. Because of Corona I am in quarantine for a while and I need something to do.

Hi, i've played D&D for a year IRL with a public group that organized one shots and loosely connected semi-campaigns. I've mostly played Rogue Masterminds and have been really wanting to be either a steel laden juggernaut or landsknecht for a bit. I haven't played games beyond level 5 though i have played many classes like paladin, cleric, warlock, ranger and monk.
Character Info
Name: Franz von Stahlwand
Race: Human (Variant)
Background: Noble (Knight Variant w/ squire)
Class: Cavelier (Though I do have a home-brew that'd i'd like to use)
Alignment: Lawful Good
Franz was born into the noble Stahlwand family, sworn to aid their kingdom of Enix as knights of the Lawbringers. The order gained it's renown as imperal enforcers as well as demon hunters though fell recently as their numbers fell from constant combat with demonic hordes and corruption from devils. Franz, himself only recently finished out his term as a squire was quickly appointed a squire of his own to prove himself. Being the fresh faced adventurer that he is Franz is idealistic and near desperate to gain praise and renown in lands beyond his home to both restore his knighthood order's reputation.

Character Info
Name: Doc Halliday
Race: (Variant) Human
Class: Artificer, Battle Smith
Alignment: Neutral
Personality traits: I’m a gambler who can’t resist taking a risk for a potential payoff. Someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back; it's only fair. Ideals: Independence. I am a free spirit—no one tells me what to do. The way it is, is the way it is: we gotta deal with what's in front of us. Bonds: A powerful person killed someone I love. Some day soon, I’ll have my revenge. Flaws: I can’t resist taking a risk if there’s money involved. I can't stand to be alone, even if it means literally making a companion.
Backstory: My existence, whether in total or by parts, will only ever be summed up in two words: comic tragedy. Apparently abandoned by my parents, I was raised by the Rock Gnome clan upon whose proverbial doorstep I was washed upon. It wasn't until my seventh year that I realized how different I was from my clan family. My body grew much faster and larger than my mental acuity, which is the opposite of the typical gnome. However, my fingers became very dexterous and I was taught the best as could be expected for a gnomish aberration. The entire clan raised me and taught me, imparting skills passed on only within the families. Machine creation, magical theory, applied and theoretical mathematics, alchemical properties, and other natural sciences. I used these skills to create devices that performed the many hated chores and tasks assigned to me so I could focus on spending time with my first love, Aspen Thimbletinker. She became the light of my life and I grew to be as driven as she was in obtaining treasures and discovering secrets. Aspen taught me the way of the world: possession equals ownership, and a nice smile with quick wits mitigates problems. Also, a sharpened piece of steel will dissuade any objections to an objects change in ownership when smiles and wit doesn't work. With Aspen's growing proclivity for owning new things, I grew equally adept at dissuading previous owners to continue their objections. It was on one such occasion, between my sixteenth and seventeenth year, that I failed Aspen. The last memory I can recall is Aspen beaming at me as she displayed the small vial of sand she recently acquired. Everything turned into white nothingness and I awoke in a strange place to the sound of ravens. I lost my real name in that frozen white nothingness, so I became Doc Halliday, the wandering gambler. For ten years I've been honing my skills and improving my machines in order to restore my name, lost memories, and find my Aspen.
What you're looking for in a group: All of my experience thus far has been 100% tabletop; I am new to the online venue for playing D&D (so I ask patience if accepted). I am merely looking for a good game to enjoy participating in, whether it be primarily RP, battle, strategy or any combination thereof. I would prefer an older group, as I myself am 37, and am not interested in constantly worrying whether or not I'll offend someone by something I say while playing.

Character Info
Name: Laedrian Siannodel
Race: Sea elf
Class: Cleric -- Tempest Domain
Alignment: CG
Personality traits: No one could doubt by looking at my regal bearing that I am a cut above the unwashed masses. Ideals: Independence. I must prove that I can handle myself without the coddling of my family. (Chaotic) Bonds: My family promised me to the Storm Lord in return for safe passage on the seas. I will be the ideal servant to my god to ensure my House's prosperity. Flaw: Because my family gave me away I am insecure of my place in the world. I too often hear veiled insults addressed to me, and I’m quick to anger.
Backstory: Third son of a noble family, he was promised to the Storm Lord in return for safe passage for his family's ships.
What you're looking for in a group: A fun adventure. Some good RP within the group. Some tensions are all right, but not looking for edgy or grimdark. Most sessions should be fairly fun and uplifting, though even the death of a PC can be satisfying so long as it's consistent with the story.

Character Info
Name: Ella Thimbletinker
Race: Rock Gnome
Class: Wizard, war magic
Alignment: Chaotic neutral
Personality traits: I often get lost in my own thoughts and contemplation, becoming oblivious to my surroundings. Ideals: knowledge the path to power and self improvement is through knowledge. Bonds: I have been searching my whole life for the answer to a certain question. Flaws: I speak without really thinking through my words invariably insulting others.
Backstory: I am a very cute, fun loving gnome, with an intense curiosity and is easily distracted by shinny things. I was a bit of a trouble maker in my youth, prone to kleptomania, with an insatiable taste for pastries, getting into a lot of mischief and causing my family many a restless nights, all in good fun, I assure you. One day my village felt that it was in their best interest that I be sent away to a friend of the family who just might be able to channel my enthusiasm into something more...we'll say... constructive. However, my destructive nature found its calling; explosions and pyrotechnics. I have concluded that my nature is not entirely safe to the typical quiet life of a gnome, and thus have decided to embark upon the long road and see what adventures and treasures may avail themselves to me.
What you're looking for in a group: I am looking for a fun game with people who enjoy a combination of roll playing, battle and strategy. My experience with D&D has been all tabletop so this will be the first time that I have done anything online so please, bear with me. I am easy going and just want to play more D&D.

Character Info:
Name: Dox
Race: Changeling
Class: Ranger - Hunter
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Background: Outlander
Personality Traits: I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups. I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won't save you from a hungry owlbear.
Ideals: Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it. (Chaotic)
Bonds: I suffer awful visions of a coming disaster and will do anything to stop it.
Flaws: I remember every insult I've ever received and nurse a silent resentment toward anyone who's ever wronged me.
Background: I grew up on the road, travelling around, rarely ever entering towns. My parents, Hars and Aunn, explained that it was for the best. So for the first fourteen years of my life, I lived in the wilderness with my parents, helping them to hunt down any creatures that would threaten civilization. But about three months before my fifteenth birthday, an owlbear attacked me and my parents, and killed my father, Hars. My mother and I barely managed to take down the Owlbear, with the Owlbear taking big bites out of both of her legs. My mother and I knew that she needed medical treatment from a cleric immediately if she was ever to walk again. So we went to the nearest town. Upon arrival at the gates, we were met by a high ranking official in the town, Evandur Dundragon, who informed us that we would not be allowed into the town. We left in shame, and I swore that one day, I shall make Evandur Dundragon suffer in ways he could never dream. Soon after leaving, we met another wandering Changeling, Vil, who promised me that he would get my mother to a good cleric. I agreed to leave my mother with the other Changeling, and the Changeling offered me the services of his bodyguard, Darryl Longclaw. I accepted, and Darryl and I returned to the site of the owlbear attack that killed my father, and buried my father's body by the nearest tree. The two of us then explored the wilds for the next few years, until I was about 19, before Darryl was killed by a crocodile's bite. After Darryl's death, I took up his identity. Whenever I interact with anyone, I do so as Darryl. I'm very slow to trust anyone with my true identity as Dox, the Changeling.
What I'm Looking For In A Group: I'm looking for a group that engages in a healthy blend of strategizing, roleplaying, and combat, all mixed into an engaging and satisfying world.

Character Info
Name: Kyora Svetyos
Race: Centaur
Class: Fighter, rune fighter (UA)
Alignment: Lawful neutral
Personality traits: I am not afraid to speak my mind and tell others my opinion, the truth or get into fights. I have a huge curiosity for humanoid people and often try to understand them and their ways. Ideals: Inquisitive. Everything is new, but I have a thirst to learn (neutral) Bonds: My freedom is most precious possession. I'll never let anyone take it from me again. Flaws: I don't take kindly to some actions and motivations of the people of this land, because these folk are different from me.
(I would like to be a centaur fighter, if you don't want or feel that a centaur would be appropriate for this, that is completely understandable and okay)
Backstory: I do not know of where I was born or where my homeland exists in the world's beyond one's understanding. But I do know that I was taken from my mother's side days after I was born only to be bought by a nobleman and enslaved to protect his family as a personal guard. Years in training have taught me how to fight and to protect those around me. I was taught the lore of the Giants and their form of rune magic, which of my Fey ancestry, came natural. After years of training and fighting for my master and his family, a Gladiator tournament came and he made a bet that I would win due to my strength and deadly training. Somehow the bet my master made was lost and he lost me to the person to whom he lost the bet. So I was again taken to my new owner who then granted me my freedom. He hated slavery and therefore granted me the freedom that I longed for since I was a filly. Never again will I be owned, as I have for so many years in my life.
What you're looking for in a group: the things that I look for in a group is good roleplaying, strategizing in battle or even outside of combat, fun and not overly serious about everything, good sportsmanship and teamwork. This is also my first time playing D&D online, so please patience and a little guidance of needed would be nice.
