A Man-at-Arms who served with Dayne, perhaps? The whip found on the battlefield or perhaps it whispered to him from its hiding place in a crumbling Abbey, barrow or abandoned hillfort?
Works for me. And if you don’t mind I think I’ll switch out of my rolled stats to Point Buy. Normally don’t mind bad stays but with nothing over a 14? Ugh.

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

NAME: Argyle RACE: Variant Human (+1 DEX, +1 CON, Feat - Resilient DEX) CLASS: Fighter 1 (thinking Battle Master or Eldritch Knight in future) BACKGROUND: Criminal FINAL STATS: STR 14, DEX 18, CON 14, INT 14, WIS 14, CHA 14 BACKSTORY: Argyle's fondness for adventure was catalyzed early; having put his past behind him, he now seeks to become one of the fastest swordsmen ever. CHARACTER SHEET:https://ddb.ac/characters/86027979/OTWwEV
Did he also serve under/alongside the others or perhaps he is a huscarl or guardsman for the household? Keeping quiet about his more nefarious past.
Had to look up what a huscarl was, but yes, him being one for the household sounds like a perfect fit. This should be fun!
Will throw my hat in the ring if you are open for a few more. Looks like a good group and an interesting setting.
Name- Thatch
" Race"- Halfling (playing as an overly short and skinny teenager)
Class- Rogue
Background- Folk Hero
One Sentence Backstory- A poor orphan trying to scrape a living as a stableboy for the household, he gained renown when he rescued a pair of lost children during a particularly violent storm.
One Sentence Backstory- Third son of an unpopular baronet, he had no chance to inherit the title, and an acrimonius relationship with his father; Kicked out of the family after cavorting in local taverns once too often.
Hello. I'm very new to this DND pbp thing, but not new to the game itself. This sounds like an interesting campaign. I hope I get selected!
Name: Maya Usaki
Race: Beasthide Shifter (She's a kitsune disguised as a human woman)
Class: Cleric (Twilight Domain)
What does it mean by "Clerics we'll take on a case by case basis"?
Background: Far Traveller
One Sentence Backstory- A rare Kitsune who can shapeshift into a young, human woman (albeit with fox ears and several tails), Maya has spent the last 50 years or so roaming the lands and searching across various kingdoms in hopes to reunite with her long-lost son, whom she presumed is still alive and well.
One Sentence Backstory: Drowning in the memories of a linked spirit, Tana resides beyond the edges of civilization in hopes that time in the wilderness will help her unravel her dreamless sleep.

Sorry, going to pass on this one but I'll look you up if I'm planning on running a Yamato game in future. :)

Hello, this sounds AMAZING so I hope I'm not too late to quickly tag a post on.
Name - Olga Skycrusher
" Race"- 'Half Orc' (her mother's side of the family have always been/produced a long line of seemingly stronger, stockier, warrior women as far as she knows, perhaps there was some sort of an entanglement long, long ago)
Class- Bard with intent to go down the College of Valor route.
Background- Soldier (Originally member of town guard of her home town, perhaps that could be the town of the Dayne family?)
One Sentence Backstory- Although she has no interest in climbing military ranks, Olga earned respect from her peers and commanding officers for doing her job well and consistently showing bravery and valour when shit goes south; The thrill of battle gives her a glint in her eye and she makes a fiercely loyal ally to those she cares for, she's a great believer of living life to full while you still have one to live.
Thanks so much for your time! Ohh just saw this is closed, maybe remember Olga incase anyone meets an unfortunate demise ;) or she can be added in!

Just said I'm overloaded and now here I am applying to two more. Curse you DMs with you intriguing concepts! (Def not an issue of personal accountability or self-control😅)
Oh, just noticed the initial post date. What level are the characters on now? I really want to play Neni from level one so I will probably need to submit someone else as my application here.

Still 1st though they will be going up to 2nd shortly. It will be very slow Milestone levelling due to the nature of the Campaign.
Great, thank you! I'll stick with my original submission then.
I'm also okay with lagging a level behind the original PCs if you don't mind having a mixed level party. Neni is designed as a "the adventure is my backstory" type of character.
