Name:Slandor Vlahos Race: Human Class: Rogue (may multiclass depending on how he reacts to situations, either retaining his good nature, or becoming more neutral than good, or becoming even more good aligned) Background: Clan Crafter Alignment: Neutral Good, leaning towards lawful Faith: Gond, the God of Crafts Favourite Food: The ham roast from his favorite nearby inn after a hard days work. Wish: Slandor would wish for a fully equipped smithy that would always contain a good hammer, anvil and forge with which he can use to continue his dream of becoming a master blacksmith. Fear: Failing a client, not making enough money to support himself, getting burnt out. Trinket: 47(a glass eye)
Background: Slandor was orphaned before his third birthday due to his parents falling ill and being unable to afford treatment at nearby clinics in the area around Baldur’s Gate where he lived. On of the nurses was friends with a local blacksmiths family, who had been trying to have a child without luck for years. That family decided to care for Slandor until he was old enough to live on his own, but we’re pleasantly surprised by Slandors natural curiosity and interest in the forge. After years of being around his adoptive father, Glain Stronghammer, and his forge, Slandor began working with Glain and eventually began low-skill orders for bars and sheets of metal. Glain then introduced Slandor to the blacksmiths guild and allowed Slandor to apprentice under various people in town to hone his skill but being a young man with wanderlust, he joined the military as part of a scouting unit. Though he never saw a battle, he did come back with a set of skills that would land him in jail if he were to abuse them. He began crafting again in Baldurs Gate, living as peacefully as he can, and that’s where is presently.

Fortunately for him, he also had the mind to put the accumulated knowledge to good use. While his younger brother soon took over the day-to-day business of the family enterprises, Axandros became an influential advisor to the cities noble elite and after years of hard work finally to the city counsel. Always an enthusiast of the magical and the occult Axandros, who was now in his mid-thirties, still devoured every book about the arcane he could get his hands on. Someday though, the raw curiosity developed a whole new dimension, as he suddenly showed the magical abilities to work the spells which for so long he had only read about. The urge to harness and augment these new powers grew with every day. As did the ambition to take an ever more active roll in the politics of Waterdeep. This overreach however was quickly followed by his fall from grace with the citiy counsel that subsequently lead to his expulsion from the citiy. Now, still driven by the quest for more influence and power Axandros traveled south to try his luck in the City of Baldurs Gate.

Name: Lynn-Marie Wintercleaver Race: Human (Variant) (Dual Wielder) Class: Blood Hunter (Finally decided to give it a try...) Background: Far Traveler Alignment: Lawful Neutral Faith: Selûne Favourite Food: Freshly caught wild boar, roasted over an open fire far away from society Wish: To be teleported to her father, to take him down face-to-face. Fear: Her father Trinket:96 - A black pirate flag adorned with a dragon's skull and crossbones. (Well then. This changes things..)
Backstory: Lynn-Marie, or Lynn for short, grew up around the coast south of Baldur's Gate, in a small village just north of Candlekeep. She had been born to a tradeswoman plying the entirety of the Sword Coast, but she died in a savage attack by pirates scouring the trade routes. Her father, captain to the ship owned by her mother's small trading company, left Lynn in the care of his parents, an elderly couple making do with the bare minimum on their own small little farm on the coast. Since then she has seen her father twice. The first time he came home he brought news that he had found and killed those responsible for his wife's death, but that his actions had forced him into the role of a pirate himself. The second time she saw him he was on the gallows outside the walls of Baldur's Gate, simply awaiting his execution, when his crew attacked. Many innocent bystanders were cut down in their attempt to free their pirate captain, including Lynn's childhood friend, Milly. The last Lynn recalls of her father was his raucous laughter and the bloodthirsty glee in his eyes as he made his escape, to return to his life of raiding, pillaging and worse. By then Lynn-Marie had come of age, and her father had not known she would be traveling to the city. Since then many years have passed, with her finding a life out in the wilds, away from the coast.
But now, something has drawn her back to face her demons, or perhaps some demons that are not hers at all.
Do you want the backstory included in the application?
The initial application format suggests not, but since others are doing it I wouldn't want to be passed over just because of that.

Witch's Coven: Ellara grew up among a coven of witches in the Mere of Dead Men. Under the tutelage of the leader of her coven, she learned both magical and mundane remedies in order to help her adoptive family survive in the swamp, as well as the ability to hinder and curse anyone who wished her or her kin harm. Life in the Mere was very difficult, but she found great reward in it. However, when the leader of the coven made a deal with a nefarious force, she felt dismayed and was forced into exile when she refused to follow. She left her home and headed south, through Waterdeep and eventually Baldur's Gate. (Skills: Medicine, Nature. Tools: Herbalist Kit, Alchemist Kit. Features: Hermit)
Note: She is not the "musical" kind of bard, but she weaves arcane power into her words to curse her foes and help her allies.
