Backstory: Jack was somewhat content in life where he was. He ran a general shop called "Jack's All Trades" with a group of beings that all insisted on being called Jack as well, where he sold anything he could get his hands on and did as many odd jobs as he could. He was even a member in good standing of many guilds, societies, and associations around town. He couldn't have been happier... until one day he was violently ripped from his world and into the timeless Lower Realm. Now, with his sleep schedule royally screwed-up because of the lack of a day-night cycle, all he wants to do is return home and continue his work.
How often can you post? Depends on the day, but normally at least once per day!

Class/subclass: Wizard 5 (Order of Scribes)

Brief Backstory:
Reginald has always been an inquisitive young gnome, always bored during his training as a scribe. He sought to wile away his days reading stories about adventurers, when he realized that he could be out doing the very things he has read about. After a year or so of happily wandering, he has somehow stumbled, unknowingly, upon a new adventure here in these dark lands.

Name: Cronos (https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/86598251) Race: Warforged Class: Artificer (Artillerist) Champion type: Failed Brief Backstory: Cronos was constructed to be a mechanical warrior for military. All he was programmed to do was do nothing but inflict carnage on the battlefield. Though he was designed to be durable in the chaos of battle, a sudden short circuit due to being cut by another warrior changed his motives from dealing lethal damage to opponents to helping the other failed champions in dealing with the harsh conditions in this new realm and even planning on which dragon would be more likely to succeed. Nowadays, Cronos has no intentions of venturing back into the original worlds that the champions originated from but he aims to guide them into success in exchange for his own. How often can you post per day: Everyday except from 11pm-9am

Seria (Female Dragon-In-Disguise Sorcerer, Draconic Bloodline)
Question. is it an either or situation for stats? i.e. Roll OR point buy. or can we Roll, and if it doesn't work for the concept switch to point buy? Either way i'll toss the roll here. Since folks are rolling and that seems fun! Even with my usual horrible luck!

Name: Zied
Race: Reborn (or Shifter if reborn is a no go)
Class/subclass: Artificer! Alchemist preferred but open to Armourer if party requires. (Alchemist may or may not dip Warlock. )
Champion type: (New or Failed) I'd love to be a FAILED champion. Who wants to get back, but has also settled into selling work on the side
Brief Backstory: (Include a good reason why you want to go home or get back to your world/realm.)
Zied was an assistant in a series of studies involved with creating a Golem Heart, attempting to create a new engine for it. During one of the experiments a sabotage ruined it and he resulted impaled. The one he was an assistant to however saved his life, using the actual prototype to replace his organs. However this cost her dearly and she ended up half-dead as a result of magic drain. He took up searching for a method to restore her.
This is a quick and dirty version. I have a rather long version I could link. I just don't link on public boards; and it felt way too long for the spoiler or your requist for a short one. Basically this is a character I've played before and love one shots for testing alternative builds.
How often you can post per day: I typically post before work and after work. Afterwork is more reliable though. This is UTC−08:00 I believe, is also occasionally midwest depending on time of year. So once for sure, possibly more depending on the timing of things. I can't post at work though, as I only have my phone and I can't really do formating well there.
I would have allowed you to switch to point buy if you had rolled badly! However you look like you rolled pretty well, guess your luck isn't so bad after all!
Brief Backstory: Riven was one of the top members of a renowned artificers guild. He and his colleagues had made a great discovery, something that would revolutionize the way their world works. On the day he was supposed to pitch this idea at a convention for funding, he woke up here, in this new strange place. He grew up with two very smart parents and when they found out he had innate magic capabilities they got him combat training. Riven much prefers to be in the lab trying to revolutionize the world, and build a better way of life. He will do anything he has to to get back home, his world needs him.
How often you can post per day: Most times from 8am-4pm and 9pm-5am (EST)
Backstory: From humble beginnings picking pockets to support her family, Breyra soon discovered a talent for the mechanical, becoming adept at cracking safes and disarming traps -- and setting a few of her own. Hired to plunder a highly secure vault, she was surprised, to say the least, when she and her trusty mechanical spider Octal stepped through the vault door to find themselves in the half-light of another realm entirely. Now she must escape the Lower Realm and find her way home, before the people who paid her for the job take it out on her family…
Brief Backstory: See spoiler below, longer backstory also available!
Lost in the depths of the fey wild, Lux stumbles into the warmth of the Court of the Evening Keepers. She is adopted by the Lady Starr and grows into her natural role as an entertainer of the Court. Lux later travels away from her Court to seek other fey nobility, hoping to spread a message of goodwill. Unfortunately, her travels were interrupted by a portal pulling her from the now-familiar realm to a place of Dawn and Dusk. Unable to be the champion she was required to be, Lux remains stuck in this new realm, pseudodragon curled around her shoulders and fey magic coursing through her veins. She hopes to one day see the Court she calls home again.
How often you can post per day: Minimum once per day, but I'm online most of the day and can respond almost whenever if needed.
Backstory: Life was good for Tamara. Granted, she had a rough childhood. Her parents had both died when she was very young, nearly too young to even remember them, and she had been forced to live in a poorhouse, with begging and petty theft being necessary just to scrape by and hopefully avoid being beaten by the corrupt officials who ran it. At fourteen years old, however, her inborn magical talent surfaced, allowing her to become the bully, a position she found she greatly preferred. A couple years later, she had gotten enough control over her abilities to unleash them only on command, and decided to leave the poorhouse and find a better way to get by. That came in the form of joining a local gang, one of the largest around to boot, who were delighted to have a spellcaster join their ranks. Over the next decade, Tamara came to enjoy the lifestyle and freedom that came with being a powerful enforcer for a powerful gang. Until one day, when her dragon blood seemingly came back to bite her. After a nightmare where a giant dragon seemed to devour her, she woke up to find herself trapped in the Lower Realms and in front of the very beast in her dream. It demanded that she find some sort of magical crown for it, or she would be trapped here forever.
She tried, but it was too great a task for one person. She's been trapped ever since, hoping that one day she could find her way back to her old life, and now that others have been dragged below perhaps her chance has come...
Brief Backstory: Rethan grew up on the streets of Waterdeep. He has no memories of his parents, having grown up in an orphanage from a young age before running away and learning to beg and steal to survive. He always dreamed of being able to perform magic, but no one was ever going to take a random street rat in as an apprentice. Even so, he would spy on wizards in the city when he could, and once he learned to read, would steal books about magic and read them when he had the chance. As he grew older, he grew larger as well, and eventually was pulled into one of the street gangs as an enforcer. In his time there he learned at least some basic fighting skills, if nothing fancy. Eventually he escaped the city and joined a mercenary group, where he spent many years. He traveled the country fighting other peoples battles, joining the side that paid the best. The mercenaries built on the basic brawling skills he knew from his youth and turned him into a skilled soldier, but he never forgot his dream of learning magic. He would still pick up magical texts when able and practice in secret, hoping to one day understand how it works. Over the years, he tired of mercenary work and constantly traveling, and returned to Waterdeep. There, he used his skills and knowledge as a soldier to join the City Guard. Eventually he retired from the guard and settled into retirement with his wife and children, until one day he was ripped from his world to some new realm and told he was to be a champion for a dragon he'd never heard of. He'll do whatever it takes to find a way home to his family.
How often you can post per day: At least once a day, frequently can post multiple times per day on weekdays if the game is moving fast enough.
