Welp. Inspiration struck, as it so rarely does, so here's a character. If there's already a Paladin in the party, then I have a backup idea; a Warforged Divine Soul literally made out of dreams.
Character Name & Pronouns: Adran Wymar (he/him)
Character Species & Class: Half Elf Paladin (Oath of the Watchers)
Backstory: Only 3 years before the gods died, Adran was a cult leader, using his charismatic nature to convince others to join his grim congregation. When the cult grew big enough, a bloodletting sacrifice took place to summon the fanatics' patron into their world. As a portal opened and something started to crawl through, he realized that he was messing with forces far greater than him. In that moment of extreme clarity, he vowed to undo what he had started, and he meant it more than anything he had ever done in his life before then. Tentacles grasping everywhere, pulling his cultists into the indescribable hell that was leaking into the room, he grabbed the innocent being sacrificed and ran. Despite Adran's efforts, the sacrifice succumbed to blood loss, but did so far enough away from the otherworldly threat; without enough innocent blood, the portal closed. Ever since, he has hunted down extraplanar entities and cults, to make sure nobody could repeat his mistakes.
He knows that something had to have killed the gods, perhaps even the same something that he once tried to summon. He knows, one day, it could- nay, will- come back for seconds. He is determined to kill it, whatever it may be, before it has the chance. It is his duty, and all the forces in Heaven and Hell couldn't stop him (or so he tells himself).
Something Special: During his last ritual, Adran gazed into horrors yet unknown to him. And they gazed back. Fiends and aberrations always know who he his, and what he tried to do. They immediately notice him when he is within 30 feet, and they don't tend to take kindly to him. Luckily for him, the feeling is mutual.
Character Role: Captain
General Physical Description: Adran is relatively tall and gaunt, with blond hair. His eyes were once a bright green, but they have since turned crimson red, tainted by horrors seen and blood spilt.
Magic Item: Depends on how I roll for stats. Either a Belt of Hill Giant Strength, a +2 Shield, or a Cape of the Mountebank.
Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.
Don't be mean. Rudeness is a vicious cycle, and it has to stop somewhere. Exceptions for things that are funny. Go to the current Competition of the Finest 'Brews! It's a cool place where cool people make cool things.

Character Name & Pronouns: Soriana Aerynth (she/her)
Character Species & Class: Air Genasi Soulknife Rogue
Backstory: Society fell when the gods did, and even if the world rose anew afterward, it didn't bring back what was lost. Soriana was a young girl when she lost her parents in the early days of the chaos, and found herself alone on the streets with nothing but her strange psionic powers to protect her. She was picked up by a band of thieves who figured they could use her, and ever since then, she's been with them. They weren't warm or fuzzy, but being with them kept her safe when the world descended into civil war, and then when the Cascadians decided to colonize the stars. She's learned to think on her feet, plan for everything, and always be aware of what's going on.
She planned for everything, but never to be betrayed.
Nothing personal, the boss told her, as if it could ever not be personal. As if it was impersonal that they chose her to take the fall when a heist went belly-up. As if it could ever be impersonal that they cared about her the least.
She was in prison for six months before being plucked out of her cell and given her stuff back, told that the emperor himself wanted her for a mission. And this sounds like a recipe for disaster, but the way Soriana sees it, going out with a bang is better than rotting in jail.
Something Special: At times, Soriana's powers unnerve her, and for good reason. Sometimes, she'll whisper into someone's mind and hear the unintelligible whispers of something that isn't either one of them. Sometimes, she uses her powers to make a lock a little easier to pick, and it's like her hands are suddenly under someone else's control as they open the lock. She doesn't know what it means, but she's pretty sure it isn't normal.
Character Role: Captain
General Physical Description: Soriana is short and slender, with pale blue skin, pointed ears, and silvery-white hair. Her eyes are a soft lilac.
Magic Item: (I'll decide this in a moment depending on my stats.)
STATS:141110131612
(Realized I can't edit above the stats or it'll think I tampered with them, but I'll be taking Cape of the Mountebank.)
Ah, well. I was really hoping. Good luck on your campaign!

Humbug was slammed and I think the same thing that happens to many pbp. I’ve not deleted the char. It may kick off again fingers crossed. The premise was too interesting and the writing too good to not hold some hope.
I was trying to keep it alive, but it looked like Nycrol was really the only character who still had strong interest, so I didn’t push things.
Pete I’m sure is interested. He came solely for your game having just sort of left due to a change in life circumstances. If you do get the chance to push forward in your setting let us know - or if you feel there are parts of the DM experiencing that are onerous and that you can offload without losing creative direction, let me know.
I'm still interested as well! Just didn't seem like the plot was going anywhere at the moment so I never really found a good place to comment in my character's actions. Not much use to have her be aimlessly doing things for the sake of activity.
I put together a Character Sheet.
