You all live in the wondrous world of Theros, where magic walks the earth, and the gods watch over from the sky. All of you are heroes chosen by one of the gods, and for some reaspn you have been instructed to work together as adventurers. For a year you have walked the lands together searching for treasure and danger, but now the gods have come calling again. In the city of Meletis there is a powerful underground that has recently assassinated one of the twelve, the ruling council of Meletis. You don't know why your gods care, but you feel the tug of their power drawing you towards Meletis.
Hello everyone! I am an experienced dungeon master, but this is my first time trying my hand at play by post. I plan to check the thread at least once per day, but only post if necessary. I expect the same from all of you. If you wish to apply, please dm me with the following. First, a link to your complete character sheet. You will be starting at level three. Second, tell me which god of Theros your character will worship, and why that god appeals to you. Lastly, give me a short backstory that explains why you started to worship your god, and how you ended up as whatever class you are. Applications will close 48 hours from now, or if I find 5 players that I like from the applications already submitted. Thank you in advance for submitting, I hope that if you don't make it you find another group to join.
Edit: Ability scores and races. Standard array and point buy are both fine, just not rolled. All races are allowed except for those in the Eberron and Ravnica books. I know a lot of the other races don't exist in Theros, but I'd rather allow them for player races so you have more options. That said, the ones that make the most sense are humans, leonin, satyrs, centaurs, minotaurs, and triton.
Hey I'm Alex and I just recently wanted to start playing dnd I have a character but I will need help learning the ropes so I'm down to play if you will help me out.My Insta is alex_is_tiredo if you don't mind contacting me
Hello Alex. I am happy to have beginner players in the party, and I'm glad you have a character prepared. Please send me what I requested above in a dm and your application will be considered. If you end up in the adventure, I'll be happy to help you learn the ropes of dnd. That said, I'd like to be able to know enough/be willing enough to research so you can complete was asked for. All that requires is making a level three character, writing a backstory, and basic knowledge of Theros gods, which you can look up. If you can manage that, your application will be considered equally to all others. I'm afraid I don't use Insta, so I won't be contacting you there.
Deity: Klothys (she represents order and balance in the cosmos)
Background:
Kai’s first memory is of standing outside the monastery with other children of about 10 years old. The other children only remember him being there before them. Sensing something in him, he was one of five initiates admitted for that year, and the only one to complete his training on his tenth year. During his time there he learned the craft of medicine, unarmed and armed combat, and much of the religions of Theros, but he never felt an affinity for any of the gods.
As part of his initiation to the order he was submitted to the scrutiny of an Oracle. The Oracle revealed to the Masters of the Order that he was Nyxborn of Klothys, created as side effect of the Goddess’ actions. This truth was hidden from him during his childhood, but other initiates could sense a difference in him which made him an outcast in the Monastery to all but the most wise of Masters, Aidos and Sophron. Kai’ childhood was often disturbed by dreams which he could not remember on waking.
Following the testing and ceremony which marked him becoming a full monk, his origins were revealed to him and his destiny to walk out into the world and due the bidding of the Goddess.
Name: Vala Race: Yuan-ti* Class: Druid (Circle of the Moon) Deity: Pharika Pharika represents the duality of life and death distilled into a single draught that can serve as tonic or toxin. Champions of Pharika are often enamored with the mysteries of life and death, along with snakes or other venomous creatures.
Background: As a sickly babe-in-arms, she was taken to the temple during Pharika’s winter festival, the Cheimazion. A cobra with rainbow scales manifested and bit deep into the child. Delirious from the venom, she babbled incoherently for 3 days and 3 nights. On the morning of fourth day, the affliction subsided, and thereafter she exhibited remarkable resistance to illness and poisons. The price was dear; within two summers her parents had succumbed to disease of the blood, and her elder siblings lasted scarce more than another two. She grew up with a life of isolation. However, her bond with Pharika cannot be broken. She has no idea why Pharika chose her, and sometimes wished the god had not, but the choice has nonetheless pitched her alongside other champions in a new life of adventure and danger.
*Born human, but took on some serpentine attributes after being saved from an incurable disease by Pharika.

We're doing one small murder-y thing for a bigger, better reason. The ends justify the means.
