This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Any room for one more? Would like to play a blaster, either a half-elf draconic sorcerer or an evoker. Seems there are lots of strikers interested but no blaster.
I have updated my original post with plenty of goodies here. Feeling pretty good about the Aerdeth now, but I can make adjustments as needed. I left locations ambiguous due to setting ignorance.

Name: Sariel Lorilien Race: High Elf Class: Fighter (Champion) Background: Knight of the Order (The Order of the Vigilant Shield) Backstory: Sariel was born to a noble family of landholders as the youngest child of three. They lived outside the walls of the city and owned much of the farming land. As her elder siblings had taken most of the major and difficult responsibilities, Sariel found herself with simple chores and lots of free time.
Sariel spent much of her time with the people who lived on the land her family owned. Whilst most of the time, she was there for business, she grew to care for the common people, always trying her best to help then in their times of need rather than throwing them away and replacing them as her parents often suggested. Combined with her great skill and talent with the sword and shield, it wasn't much of a surprise when the Order of the Vigilant Shield approached her to join their Order. She aligned herself greatly with her ideals and goals and quickly joined their ranks.
Family Members: Mother - Kaeya Lorilien Father - Agis Lorilien ElderBrother - Elbereth Lorilien Elder Sister - Ghilanna Lorilien-Nailo (Married)
Magic items: 2 uncommon - Bag of Holding - Mithril Plate Armor 2 rare - Flame Tongue Longsword - Belt of Hill Giant Strength 1 very rare magic item - Shield +3
(BTW, The Order of the Vigilant Shield is just one I came up with.)
Background: Maydon is an acolyte, gaining power an influence from both sides of his family.
Backstory: Maydon works to learn over all else. He scours the libraries of the <city we all are from> and is never satisfied with only knowing part of an art form. His father Kyleren ran the bank at <city we are all from> and his mother, Mayweather of the house of Magdelain, taught her children to be ever vigilant for more knowledge and understanding. He first followed in his brother, Nimble's, footsteps before surpassing Nimble's abilities and becoming a savant of his own. He is never idle or bored, unless he is forced to do something repetitive that he can't find a way to improve. This is seldom. Maydon took his place in the annals of <city we are all from> joining the <adventuring group they are all from> as a natural arcane savant and valuable contributor to their successes.
Family Members: father, Kyleren chief bank officer of <city we are all from>; mother, Mayweather of the great house of Magdelain; brother, Nimble taking his place at the bank of <city we are from> taking after his father; cousin, Dondi Magdelain current leader of the house of Magdelain and powerful merchant in <city we are all from>. Dondi is a rival to Maydon because he does not like to share power and sees Maydon's successes as a threat do Dondi's lordship and power.

A half-orc who heard the calling of the elven god Mythrien Sarath, Zogar quietly abandoned his tribe at a young age, choosing to pursue his faith alone, rather than being ostracized by his clan.
Living in a small hut a few miles from a mountain village, he made a quiet living selling the items he smithed. He yearns to know more about his god and struggles with the fact that there is so much he doesn't know about him.
The elves won't embrace him regardless of his beliefs and he's usually forced to worship alone, often at a small shrine he sets up when he takes any kind of residence.
Zogar is conflicted about being a half-orc worshipping an elven god.
Because his orc traits aren't easily visible, he generally tries to pass himself off as human.
He fears returning to his tribe both because he left without telling anyone and because his beliefs are in direct contrast to theirs.
Family Members:
Twin Brother: Sogar. Loves Zogar, but doesn't understand him. Sogar has more orcish features than Zogar.
Father: Suglar, full orc. Little to no interest in Zogar. (Tolerates Sogar)
Half-Sister: Rohaki, full orc from the same father. Older than the twins and essentially raised them when their human mother died shortly after their birth. Rohaki loves Zogar as a sister and a mother and understands his need to follow his own path. They rarely talk as she isn't easily able to get away from tribe life.

Name: Sam Silverwind Race: Half Elf Class: Bard Background: Charlatan Backstory: (a bit of a rough draft, I love the idea of no tragic orphans!) Growing up the son of tavern keepers was a simple life, too simple for Sam. His parents own the Flagon Dragon tavern, his older brother worked the bar, his little sister served the tables, Sam played his viol every night, things were predictable. One night after his show Sam decided he had enough, and worked up the courage to tell his parents he was leaving to become ad adventurer! Thinking that his mother would burst in to tears, and his father would look down on him in disapproval, Sam's surprise could not have been greater when instead, his parents smiled at each other and lead Sam up in to the attic. Opening up an old trunk that had been there as long as Sam could remember they showed up their gear from when they had been adventurers, telling Sam that they had earned the money they used to buy this tavern after many year of adventuring. They had even met and fell in love during their adventures! Gifting Sam some of their gear they sent him off in search of his Uncle Ben, a famous adventurer. The rest, as they say, is the stuff of song. Songs Sam wrote himself Family Members: Mother (Elf)- Elaria, Father (human)- Lucas, Older Brother- Luke Jr, Little Sister- Lyra. Uncle (Elf)- Benathiel
I like it, do you have a sheet yet? :)
Thanks! Will be off work in an a few hours, will post link to sheet and also update with magic items.
updated with character sheet
The limit on rare items is two and you have three, please remove one. :)
Alrighty folks, I'm going to close the application process now. I'm sorry if i haven't replied to any of the newer applicants, but i still have plenty of stuff to go over and check. I'm going to give the people that rolled stats and put in concepts but no actual sheets or info some time to follow up and get that done. I'll make final decisions tomorrow at some point.
I was finishing as you closed this, but I did have my stat roll in. I've chosen magic items and have joined the campaign for application review. I'd love to join this one if you'll have me.

Sorry for takinga bit to get my character finished. Had family show up totally unannounced. If my character is still applicable I finished the submission and left link. Again sorry if I am to late.

Your bonuses are correct as far as i can tell. Holding the staff in one hand and the wand in the other would give you +4 to your base of +10 for spell casting modifier and proficiency bonus together. This is reflected in the sheet, although only Ray of Enfeeblement has a spell attack modifier.
Fire Bolt, Scorching Ray should be ranged spell attacks also but, yea, not as important as I initially thought.
I only mentioned Ray of Enfeeblement as it was only staff given spell with a spell attack bonus. Yes, you are right about the others though, but they have +14 to attack which is correct. Am I missing something? :)

You're good, was giving people time. :)
Here's what I have so far. Not sure I did it right - the spell attack bonus should be 4 higher from my staff and wand.

I'm still working on the backstory.

No, you're right, for some reason I thought the base was 14 so it would be 18. Wishful thinking.
I added the backstory which mentions his mother and adopted father. Hopefully this is enough family.
