The last thing you did was accept the deal. Death is not the end, after all, as you find yourself contracted to the lower planes, a new recruit within the devillish ranks. Now at the bottom of the ladder, it's time to work up it and try and survive.
Death is not the end, but there are fates that are much worse...
So this is a campaign where everyone starts off as a lesser devil, a homebrew race. It starts off with a lot of penalties compared to other races, but you get more powerful as you level up. This could end up being a bit of a meat-grinder potentially depending on how things go, so recruitment may open/close during the campaign play.

Do you want any backstory in the application, or just the character?
The backstory is whatever you want it to be. Your previous life barely matters now that you are a freshly made devil, but it adds to some nice bits of flavour.
Feel free to add it to your application, just mention what class/background you're wanting to be.
Backstory: Robert was a down on his luck musician with barely a lick of talent. He was completely broke, and had a pile of debt from his gambling ventures that kept on piling up. He was considering a swifter end than starving to death, when another opportunity appeared in the form of a well dressed man with a pair of elegantly curving horns. The man produced a fiddle which looked to be made of solid gold. He offered a deal. Beat him, in a... Idon'tknowthecorrectwordletsjustcallita fiddle-off, and he would be granted unimaginable talent. Lose, and he would take his soul Being desperate, Robert accepted. The man produced a second fiddle, and handed it to him. Robert handed the fiddle right back. He knew how things normally went in things like this, and pointed out the little notches carved into the fiddle's strings that would cause them to break when played on. He instead asked to use his own instrument. The devil congratulated him on being so astute, and then began the competition. Naturally, Robert lost and was damned for eternity. I mean, who accepts a devil's challenge? You know you're gonna lose, right?
Though it is too late for him, Robert, now going by the name of Zamiel, continues to play, hoping to one day rise in the ranks enough to become an official Fiddler of the Hells, challenging foolish souls to a battle of skill, and dragging their souls down to the Hells when they inevitably lose.
How do I add the Devil race to my character builder? Or do I need to make a homebrew for myself and go at it in said roundabout way?
If you open the race details page and scroll down then there's a bright blue button "Add to my collection". Then you can choose it in character creation.
This sounds REALLY cool and I would love to play - will edit this post with my character by the end of the day. (Thinking of going rogue but I'm not choosy about class if someone else wants that role.)

Hi, very interesting!
The racial abilities based on level are acting a bit weird, but not too much. As long as you yourself are OK with how the characters look.
But here's a devil druid called Ba: https://ddb.ac/characters/7107745/knti0O

I don’t think you can add it to your collection without a subscription, though...
