Looking for a few more players to round out a journey through the new Vecna campaign.
Characters will start at level 10, we'll be using 2024 rules to see how they do. Ability scores can be rolled (always reroll 1s) or use point buy.
In your backstories, include some of your past exploits that led you to the level of experience you have now, and why you're currently in Neverwinter. (No need to write a novel...a couple of paragraphs is fine :D)
Good luck! I'll close recruiting Wednesday or so, and make selections by the end of the week.

Backstory: Aldrin grew up in a modest farming village near Neverwinter, where she learned the value of hard work and community. Driven by a desire to protect the innocent from the dangers that plagued her home, she joined the Neverwinter Guard at a young age. Rising quickly through the ranks due to her courage and dedication, Aldrin became a skilled swordswoman and leader. Her life took a pivotal turn when she led a counterattack against a cult devoted to Vecna, who had unleashed a terrifying undead horror on the city. Though victorious, the battle left a lasting impression, compelling her to take the Oath of Devotion and become a paladin dedicated to justice, compassion, and the eradication of evil.
Aldrin now serves as both a protector and a mentor, tirelessly defending the city against threats from within and beyond. With renewed reports of Vecna's followers stirring in the shadows, she is determined to root out and destroy any remaining cult influence. Guided by her unshakable sense of duty and the memory of her fallen comrades, Aldrin vows to be the shield that stands between the people of Neverwinter and the encroaching darkness.
Backstory: Master Jonhoffey visited Nathan's orphanage many years ago looking for a young scullery servant for his Mansion. After a few years of scrubbing pots and floors, the old master learned that young boy had somehow managed to learned how to read by investigating the books in an out of the way, seldom used library in the house. The old man passed him along to a mystical inclined friend of his, who accepted the young lad as an apprentice. After a decade of working for the wizard, Nathan took the wizard name of Bluemoon (As a joke on how often he was able to get his spells right while practicing). Bluemoon now seeks to expand his knowledge of the mystical arts, which has led to countless accidental adventures. Which is how he ended up here.
Magic Items: Stone of Good Luck (Luckstone)(Uncommon), Potion of Healing (Common)
Backstory: Krovax joined the church at a young age and served diligently for many years. But once his magic began to manifest he decided to abandon his calling and take up traveling so as not to scare other followers. While traveling he happened upon a group of adventurers and found his strange new magical talents were an asset to them and their endeavors.
On a recent adventure they uncovered a long lost crypt where Vecna had stashed some evil scrolls. The party inadvertently sprung a trap which unleashed many undead minions, which proceeded to swarm the adventurers. After a long and arduous fight they prevailed but not without losing several members. The evil scrolls were burned and destroyed but the remaining members each went their separate ways. Krovax now seeks to join a new group of adventurers in Neverwinter.
(I currently only have the free rules so used them to make up this character to join with... if I am chosen, and you have the 2024 rules, it might be possible to use them to alter the sheet and make up a human warlock/archfey with the entertainer background... but if not I can go with this one.)

Question, will there be a set time to do these things, or is it more 'respond whenever you can, and check in whenever?' Also what type of campaign will this be? Like what theme is going to be the norm? Serious/spooky, more comedic? Gruesome?
Question: will you be sharing the 2024 PH content? I currently only have the free rules for 2024. If not I think I can still still make a decent character.

Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?

I like to try for at least one post a day, but also life is a thing so that's not a hard rule. As far as the campaign goes, without getting too much into it for story reasons this campaign takes you across multiple planes in the multiverse, so there's not really a set theme. I am incapable of taking things seriously due to an unfortunate lack of maturity, so there will undoubtably be some comedic overtones.

I will be sharing the 2024 content, so feel free to create whatever you want!

Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
Magic Items: Cloak of Protection (Uncommon), Veteran's Cane (Common)
Backstory: Bodaway became a true believer early in his life and dreamed of joining the temple for as long as he could remember. However, he became zealous in his belief and took a very hands-on and active role in proselytizing for Tempus, the War God. This frequently resulted in him fighting believers of other deities in the taverns, on the street, wherever. The temple soon sent him to join the local militia in the hopes that his violent tendencies could be focused against external threats. Alas, he continued to battle foes, both those of the army and those of his god, for a few years. His violent tendencies got him noticed for good and for bad, so he was removed from the barracks and told he could only return if he stopped battling everyone. Although he relapses every now and then by mixing preaching and punching, he is doing better at behaving himself.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Name: Normal Back
Species: Human-Reborn
Class/Subclass: Rogue Assassin
Background: Ruined
Normal's first memory was of being surrounded by worshippers of Vecna and being raised from the dead. He remembers crawling forth from a cold grave, to see the joyful and expectant faces of the evil ones who thought they had just conjured an undead slave to serve Vecna. Their faces turned to horror as Normal turned his blades on them, slaying them all. Occasionally he has dreams of a family, a family slain by the dark servants of Vecna. He doesn't know what there plan was, but he knows now that he will have his vengeance.
