Hello Everyone, looking to start a new game with a group of 4-5 players starting at level 5. Looking to do something different here: Let’s bring about the end of the world.
This is going to be a homebrew world and campaign, loosely based in the forgotten realms. You are a member of the Cult of Nine. As a follower of Asmodeus (following a lesser god that’s subservient is ok too): the God over the nine hells, you’ve been enlightened as the new members of the Left Hand. The Left Hand of the Cloven is a special task force set to open the portal to the prime material plane. Ages ago when Asmodeus was banished to what he would make the nine hells, there were aspects of him left behind, scattered, and kept secretly locked. Your job is to find them and free them. All members of the hands before you have failed.
This of course is going to be an evil campaign, though that doesn’t necessarily need to be your alignment. Whatever alignment you chose, it has to be lawful, there is a strict code to abide by as a member of the Cult of Nine. It is up to you how you managed to become a member of the Cult as part of your backstory: were you forced into it? A sacrifice maybe? Did you chose it willingly? Tricked by a devil?
Important things of note:
1. Yes you may be evil, actions still have consequences. Killing everyone you see immediately makes you real noticeable, and your mission more difficult.
2. You still have respect for other members of the Cult and especially your party as they are your equals.
3. There is clearly the chance to get real dark real fast. While I won’t stop things from happening (maybe a cut to black screen and move on) let’s keep things comfortable for all players. We are evil, not uncivilized.
Applications:

Starting equipment plus one uncommon magic item.

Posts responses into the forum below, happy to answer any questions. I post frequently and at least once a day, I tend to try and keep things moving quickly.
Any limits on source material/source quantities? Do you allow UA material? I ask because some of the UA stuff is blatantly overpowered, so just trying to make sure before that comes up. Nevertheless, seems like an interesting story, might get an application in soon.

Anything official or Critical Role allowed. I can not share any content.
Starting Equipment: (Noble Background/Wizard) Dagger, Spellbook and adventuring stuff
Magical item: Wand of the War Mage +1
Name: Ambition
Race/Class: Fire Genasi Wizard
Backstory: Ambition had a tough life as a child, being very smart doesn't matter that much if you're a noble and get forced into whatever your parents want you to do so he left. He left because he wanted to continue with his studies rather than being stuck with what his parents told him to do. Then one day while he was practicing and studying magic he lost control over his spell and so ended up causing someone some mortal wounds. He then realized that he could never be free of that day so he trained and studied to make sure it would never happen again. One of the Cult of Nine noticed him that day and saw real potential inside of Ambition. Then a few years later Ambition was asked on the street to cause a death with his magic as part of his initiation into the Cult of Nine, of course Ambition didn't want to but his magic went out of control at this point and severely harmed someone. He then was accepted into the Cult of Nine where he spent his days until now.
Starting Equipment: Longsword, two handaxes, chain mail, shield
Magical item: Longsword+1
Name: Petmorn Arroway
Race/Class: Human Fighter
Backstory: A former farmer with a wife and children, Petmorn lost everything in a demon attack. After burying his family, Petmorn's desire for vengeance grew until it consumed him completely. He fell into the study of devils, and finally was contacted by a lesser devil on behalf of Asmodeus. Asmodeus promised to make everything right for Petmorn again as long as he helped summon the archdevil to the Material Plane. Petmorn joined the Cult of the Nine and will not stop until his master reigns over the earth and gives him his family back.

Now that rolls are out of the way I present my character.
Magic Item: Wand of the Warmage +1
Name: Hadrian Delthioc
Race/Class: Half Elf Warlock(Pact of the Fiend)
Backstory+How’d you get into the Cult?: Hadrian grew up in the slums of Luskan, the child of a human mother who worked at a tavern and a drow father that served in the drow mercenary band of Bregan Dearthe. From a young age he had to learn to fend for himself as his mother was kept busy with providing food for them while his father was only around long to make sure none of his fellow drow found out he had a child with a human. Due to this the young half elf fell into life of a con artist, usually tricking drunks and sailors out of their money through cheating at dice and cards with the help of his fellow street rats.
This worked well and it wasn't until his late teenage years that he tried to cheat the wrong person. After so many successful scams Hadrian grew tp sure pf himself and left his home to travel to Waterdeep where he attempted to ply his trade on the nobles and rich merchants. It was not long until he found himself thrown into a cell after he was found to be using a marked deck in a card game against the son of a wealthy and powerful merchant. While the crime was not enough to have him put to death, the merchant had enough influence that the half elf was looking at more then double the time he should have gotten. Being young and foolish he tried to find a way to escape and after a few failed attempts he was left with few options outside of serving his sentence.
During his stay in the Waterdeep dungeons he met a strange woman who claimed that she was from a church within the city and that she thought that if got the leader of her faith to put ina good word for Hadrian he would be released. In exchange though he would have to do something for them and sign a contract that stated he understood this. With little choice, he signed it and was soon released to be under the custody of the church since they had vouched for him. Unbeknownst to him, Hadrian had sold his soul to the service of Asmodeus and would be stuck serving his cult or suffer for the rest of eternity. That was ten years ago and since then he has been doing his duty for the Ruler of the Nine Hells.
backstory: Drax was banished from his clan when his powers first showed themselves. While the blood of dragons gave Drax power, it also ment he was not "pure" enough to live in their society. Drax made his way to waterdeep, and joined up with a gang of thieves and assassins. With his particular set of skills, he was able to work his way up the ladder until he was made an advisor to the leader of the gang. From there.. he worked as a puppet master of sorts... working to expand the gang and its influence. Eventually the amount of power he could gain being second in command in the gang had reached its limit. Frustrated, Drax began to look into and eventually join the Cult of the nine. As a way to show his loyalty to the cult, he held a feast with his old gang... to celebrate his new found purpose..... during the feaet, every member of the gang was poisoned a d killed... leaving Drax free to devote himself to the cult of the nine...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Name: Zariella
Race/Class: Half-Elf Sorcerer
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Uncommon Magic Item: Ring of Mind Shielding
Backstory: With destructive magical energy manifesting itself in Zariella even as a baby, she was abandoned at an orphanage door in the dead of night by parents fearing for their lives. The orphanage owners never met their new charge, however, as she was plucked from the doorstep by the Cult of Nine, sensing the newborn’s power. Having grown up knowing nothing but the worship of Asmodeus, Zariella is loyal to a fault, distrustful of outsiders, but not above using them to further the cult’s goals; a worthy addition to the Left Hand of the Cloven.
