Gender/Pronouns (for your character, include your own if you wish as well): He/They (He/They)
Short Backstory (1-2 paragraphs, you can give me more later): Cyrogos Talicon is a faction agent of the Order of the Gilded Eye. Spending most of his time at Helm's Hold as an initiate, Cyrogos has been gathering information on recent events in the area and is looking to finally get his hands dirty. So far, its been drilling and training for him, with the occasional escort to and from Neverwinter - but the burning desire for adventure has been brewing within him for some time now.
Fun fact about your character (feel free to give more than one): Has claustrophobia - reoccurring dream in which he's stuck in a ventilation shaft and goblins are attacking him from both sides.
Was once a faction agent for the Order of the Gauntlet, but their approach to solving problems was too slow and political for him.

**Side note** I play in an ongoing Westmarch style pbp campaign and run one of my one. I am very familiar with Discord and the 5e bot Avrae, and have subs to some aliases and snippets from these previous experiences. Very willing to help others along that get caught up due to the complexity of the bot.

Short Backstory (1-2 paragraphs, you can give me more later): Oisin grew up in a hamlet secluded from society, the circle of druids he grew up in where known for their medical specialty. Even though they where well kown, few actually knew where or how to find them hidden in the Neverwinter Woods.
One day Oisin was given the task of bring herbs to Neverwinter and he fell in love with life out side of the Hamlet. Until recently he worked in a local shop within Neverwinter, but now we is growing bored of the city and looking to take up adventuring
Fun fact about your character (feel free to give more than one): Oisin doesnt drink, he will often order ale or wine because he believes that's whay is expected but he doesn't drink it.
Gender/Pronouns (for your character, include your own if you wish as well): he/him
Short Backstory (1-2 paragraphs, you can give me more later):
Varek was born an only son in the largest settlement in the Northlands.Born under a new moon during the worst “thundersnow” seen in generations, the night of his birth would foreshadow a life both blessed and tempestuous.
Wanderlust and adventure are in Varek’s blood. He always preferred the wilderness over the clan settlement, spending days and eventually weeks exploring the wild with his pet dire wolf as his only companion.From a early age it was obvious he had a natural inclination and talent for cartography. This would eventually lead to a years-long apprenticeship with the clan’s resident map maker. During this time, he would assist heavily in creating and maintaining the maps used by the clan soldiers. This would eventually lead to him to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Solider. If only for a short time.
Varek is genuine, believing in things good and right. He is either your best friend or your worst enemy. He is extremely protective of those he cares about. Compared to the rest of his clan, he is a free spirit; the beloved “wild child” or “rebel”. But, he makes his own way, often disagreeing, even if silently, with the overly Lawful ways of his clan.He believes in the intent of the law, not always the letter of the law. This has put him at odds with clan elders from time to time when constructively challenging these norms.For Varek, there are times when the ends can justify the means, if it’s for the benefit of the greater good.
Fun fact about your character (feel free to give more than one):
Varek is not cut from the same cloth as other Goliath. He is not as competitive, though no less passionate, than his brethren. Varek has always had a penchant for the night, especially on a full moon. All this, combined with his warm, darker gray skin tone and lack of any markings, definitely sets him apart from others in his clan.
Class (and subclass if applicable): Fighter (Rune Knight)

Background: Outlander
Gender/Pronouns (for your character, include your own if you wish as well): He/Him
Short Backstory (1-2 paragraphs, you can give me more later):
Little One doesn't know much but he knows how to survive. Born to the cold, harsh North he was left abandoned to die but he didn't. He doesn't know why and frankly he doesn't care because he survived. Now this had nothing to do with him. He survived because he was lucky, sort of. Rather than being devoured by the desperate denizens of the frozen land he was happened upon by a group of frost giants. Curious they took the child and raised him... He was born and raised into servitude. The giants ridiculed and beat him constantly as he served their needs. Little One did the best he could to keep his Giant masters happy so he could keep surviving. Two things kept him sane and alive during this time. One was the strange markings and runes found through out his meager home. He would spend hours looking and tracing the runes in his mind. He found something beautiful and calming about their geometry. The second was hope. Hope that one day he would leave this place and become more than slave.
One day that hope materialized. A horrible storm and an avalanche provided his cover. Deciding it was now or never he left the giants. Most would have died in that storm but he survived. He swore he would use his life to help others do the same, survive.
Fun fact about your character (feel free to give more than one):
Little One is not very smart... He can't read and he can't write. He speaks just fine but goes to great lengths to hide his illiteracy.
Recruiting for this campaign is now closed. Apologies to everyone who didn't make it in, picking characters out of the host of great ones I always get is the hardest part of starting up a PbP game, and I didn't see a PC I didn't like. I may dig back into the thread for replacements at a later date if necessary. Thanks for applying, and I hope to see you on future adventures!

@ComradeSorcerer Safe to presume you’ve already contacted everyone selected?
Indeed.
Anyone that got recruited for this story - is the DM still active? He disappeared from our story, and is not responding....
