This sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Let's try it!

Short version - an enfeebled old woman (the 7 went into strength) who's chased some whippersnappers away from her cave but has forgotten her way back. She's been talking to the trees for 57 of her 63 years. But now they're talking back...

 No no no. You misunderstood. Everyone is interested in your character's backstory. Not your personal life.

I'm an enfeebled old man. So all you're doing is highlighting my amazing performance range and your own insecurities, making me the better candidate.

Chasing Hymnal (Hymnal) - CG Tabaxi Bard (College of Lore)

Ability Scores (Standard Array w/ Racial Bonuses):

Str. - 8

Dex. - 16

Con. - 13

Int. - 12

Wis. - 10

Cha. - 16

Background:

Urchin. Chasing Hymnal, born Four Winds Howl, rechristened himself when he learned that his clan’s treasure, an enchanted tome with endless pages called the Hymnal, had been stolen. The Hymnal contains every bardic composition, old and new, ever created by the Singing Horizon clan, and that is why the failed and jealous playwright Beck de Corbin absconded with it and used its contents to relaunch his nonexistent career to great acclaim. There is no theft greater than the theft of another's creation, so Hymnal has dedicated his life to finding de Corbin and taking his namesake back for the sake of his clan. Despite his young age, Hymnal has managed to eke out a frugal existence on the road these past few years by scrounging with urchins and performing at taverns in exchange for food and a place to stay, all the while patiently keeping an ear out for the name de Corbin, and always eager for new sights, new friends, and new knowledge.

And I'm looking into a possible homebrew class--a gestalt class consisting of Warlock (Pact of the Chain) and Bard (College of Lore)

I've updated Captain Beric Blackhand and added a short blurb about why he is at the Agents of Fortune gathering house. If guns are allow, he'd take the Firearm Specialist Feat instead of Dual Wielder. 

Also, he'd be taking one level of Fighter and the Mariner Fighting Style from Unearthed Arcana, if you're allowing it. It just fits the character perfectly.

I have selected the group, thank you all again for your submissions.

Congrats on those that got in, good luck with the campaign!
