Background: You’ve garnered quite the reputation and caught the attention of a merchant and retired adventurer named Syndra Silvane. She wants you to explore Chult and discover the source of a curse. (Folk Hero)
Backstory: (I enjoy writing a little piece of backstory IN character, as though they are telling you about themselves. If you prefer I can write amore formal one)
A looming crimson scaled dragonborn sits across from you, on the table you see a vast array of knives, arrows, bolts, blades, and weaponry that seems to fill the table. You watch as the blank expression of the dragonborn in front of you begins to speak.
"I am Fennic Daardendarian. I am of the Daadendarian clan. We seek to prove we are the strongest. We seek to rid the world of those who would crush others." The edge of his lips curl, showing rather white teeth, a piece of meat thrown into his mouth as he chews without closing his mouth. "I see you are brave enough to sit across from me. I respect this unscaled one. I hunger for a challenge and gold."
Fennic stands up, tosses a knife into the air and then catches it by the handle. He flips the handle to you and stands across the room. "I will stand here. I will not move. You will throw the knife at me. If I do not catch it, I will pay your dinner. If I do catch it..." His amber colored eyes narrow and his lips purse slightly before swallowing the meat, "Then it means my evening practice is over and you are not a challenge. Come unscaled one, throw."

Character Name: Kosef Starag
Race: Variant human (with the GWM feat)
Class: Fighter (Samurai)
Background: Solider
Backstory: Like his father and mother before him, Kosef worked in the executions department of the Baldur's Gate Flaming Fist. He specialized in beheadings. But his corrupt commander asked him to do his job poorly, causing pain and suffering to one of the enemies of one of the Dukes rather than a quick, just death. Kosef refused and found himself unemployed. And with enemies. Out of town travel seemed like a good idea. Luckily, he heard a rumor that a merchant named Syndra Silvane was offering good pay for an assignment far from home. Kosef went looking for this Syndra Silvane. He has a loose manuscript he is working on, tentatively titled "The Art of Execution."
Flame's life is haunted by bad luck. When he got on a ship, it was hit by a storm. When he traveled with a caravan, they were attacked by monsters. When he tried to hit on a girl, she gave him a slap instead of a kiss. Now Flame found himself in the middle of Death Curse the day he arrived at Chult. But this time a crazy thought occurred to him. If fate always throws him into turmoil and saves his life…then maybe he can take advantage of it. Flame visits the wizard-merchant Syndra Silvane and in the first time of his life tries his bad luck.
Alignmentwise, are evil aligned characters not allowed? As a Gith, the standard alignment is LE but if necessary I can play a LN. (im not going to be a ****** if I play the evil alignment, I was just wondering :,)) )
Are feats allowed?
And final question, do we have to be active daily or can every other day work, maybe excluding weekends? I typically have a ton of standardized test crap on the weekends and im a bit worried about not being able to be as active,,
And im totally open to drawing campaign art as well!! I'm a decent artist so if you need any character art just hmu
Evil alignments are okay as long as they are characters who'd be willing to fight for the cause and integrate and work alonside the rest of the party. No murderhoboing and no PvP.
Feats are allowed.
While daily posting is ideal, it is completely find if you can't post one day because you are busy with RL. As long as you are able to post at least once a week, I'd say is completely fine.
Background: Noble Backstory: Born of a Merchant Prince, Wakanga O’tamu, Zyanya was raised among the upper echelon of Port Nyanzaru. She never knew the woman who birthed her, the woman having died in childbirth, but her father did more than enough to make sure she never felt the loss. A powerful mage himself, it was no surprise to anyone when Zyanya displayed an aptitude for the mystical arts from a young age. She was told by everyone that she was bound for greatness...and she believed them all.
Zyanya honed her magical talent while also learning her father’s trade, thinking all the while that such gifts and prowess would only be visited upon someone that the gods themselves had blessed. That meant they had a plan for her, it had to be. She was destined for...something. Then a story came to her about a young princess long ago who shaped the world around her with great magics, building a kingdom for her people and ruling over them.
It clicked. That was her calling: to rule. But first, she needed to win the hearts of the people. And what better way than helping to resolve the ever threatening existence of the death curse?
Would be a pleasure to participate with you all ^.^

NAME Tamzedda 'Zedda' Nygaar
CLASS Rogue eventual arcane trickster
BACKGROUND CRIMINAL/SPY or Smuggler
BACKSTORY Zedda is the adopted daughter of an underworld strong-arm trying to make her own path. She's a thief by trade in the 'family business' but longs for a, dare she hope, better life outside the petty criminals who raised her. Zedda is dedicated, humorous, proud, and perhaps a little reckless at times rogue spell caster. The half-orc/half-elf often using humor to defuse tension or pranks to put those who think they are above others in their place. Born in the port city of Luskan, also known as the City of Sails, Zedda was a rebellious child who listened to the songs of the bards and the tales from the smugglers in her family's business from her infancy dreaming of adventure. Although Zedda grew up in the underworld she longed to be a hero like the tales and songs that her childhood inspired! With Zedda's curiosity and perseverance, there's nothing to stop her from finding a way to great acclaim trying to join the Force Grey or any good faction to undermine her family's business. With the right training and mentoring Zedd could quickly become a person of great importance and a legend in her craft. She already knows she makes a good thief having friends in high as well as the lowest of places in society but she wants to do greater things.

NAME Geddryn "Dryn" Prendergast
RACE/CLASS Tiefling/Paladin oath of vengeance
BACKGROUND Acolyte
BACKSTORY Abandoned at a far-flung monastery devoted to <insert campaign appropriate goddess here> Dryn had a good life learning the ways of her Goddess and helping others. Then disaster struck! A group came in the night seeking shelter at the monastery. They were granted it. Then over the next few days tortured and killed everyone in the temple save Dryn searching for a relic the monastery never had. The young paladin escaped thanks to the order's leader and her mentor/adopted mother, Velndria Prendergast, who charged Dryn with discovering the murders as well as the object. Dryn did not know the villains who murdered her order but has pledged her life to discover and destroying them.

“But no living man am I! You look upon a woman...You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
Backstory: Omusawo grew up in Port Nyanzaru. He was trained as a carpenter under the tutelage of his father and uncle. When he was 18 he fell from a scaffold and lost consciousness for 4 days. His father brought his body to the family house and sent for healers, none of which could bring him out of his coma. His mother prayed ceaselessly and occasionally poured water and home-style remedies into Omusawu’s mouth.
Omusawu was visited by a brilliant coatl during this time who comforted/instructed/recruited him. When he awakened, he spoke nothing of his “dreams” but his destiny was noticeably different. Suddenly he was able to manifest minor miracles. Word of mouth that spread from family, friends and neighbors began to give him a reputation throughout the city. Recently he was approached to utilize his talents to aid the merchants in a quest.
Name: Ice in Summer (Ice) Race/Class: Tabaxi Hexblade Warlock Background: Archaeologist Backstory (I adapted one of your hooks): Ice in Summer (Ice) is the youngest son of his generation of the tribe. As the youngest he was often left out of activities, he instead found solace in reading and practising his bladework. Throughout his youth, he heard the tales of Chult, and the wonders to be found there. The ancient civilizations, long since lost have always garnered his full attention. Some even consider it an obsession. It was through research into these lost civilizations that Ice first came in contact with the hexblade. A force that now consumes him as much as his passion for the past. Recently, Ice heard of an expedition that actually intended to cross into Chult and explore the lost ruins. This was not an opportunity he could give up. After much persuasion, Ice in Summer was finally allowed to join the party.
backstory Yun was born into his order by his mother and father and encourage Yun to leave if he wanted to but he wanted to study the affects and differences from normal magic from the gods to blood magic. But tragic time hit his family his mother was critical injured in a fight against a pack of werebears and his father died to them as well but the order took him in as his father was a great and respected member. Now he’s on a mission to find his parents killers and study the ways about blood magic
Last 31 hours. I will be closing applications tomorrow morning.
Plenty of great applications to chose from already, but I'm going to stick to my word and close tomorrow rather than today. That will give time to the people who said they were interested to apply and to anyone who has yet to finish their characters.
I'm not going to try and join because of your comment of the themes this may include, but I will say this looks really cool, and I hope whoever all get's in all have an amazing game!
I will look though all the applications today and make my choice, then I will send a PM to those who have caught my eye. If you don't get chosen, I do apologize: All applications here are great, but as always, I can only choose a few.
Adios. 🐍
