You were in the city of Neverwinter, when your collective dwarf patron and friend, Gundren Rockseeker, hired you to escorted a wagon to Phandalin. He has already gone ahead with a warrior, Sildar Hallwinter, to attend buisness in Phandalin while you follow with the supplies. You will all be payed 10 gp each by the owner of Barthens provisions when you deliver the wagon safely to the trading port.
In other words, welcome to the lost Mine of Phandalin, a 2014 5e adventure, which I shall be DMing for you. This adventure will be taking place in the setting of sword coast, and is a standard high fantasy one. The campaign will start at level one.
While you were all collectively hired by Gundren, your characters may have their own reasons for attending Phandalin, due to various backstory reasons or personal goals. As for roleplaying characters, don't try to be that guy who chokes out anybody you don't like, you can certainly play as an evil character if you wish, but keep the rest of the party in mind. It wouldn't make sense for a lawful good church member who feeds the poor to be in the same party as a guy who randomly shanks people. Of course, if the entire party is evil, that's fine too. It is also okay for your characters to disagree over things, just don't insult the other player or have your character attack the other character. Now that we have that out of the way, here is the stuff you need to post to apply;

Backstory:
Abandoned as a baby, Calen was raised in a secluded monastery, where a mysterious fire broke out one night, leaving several children injured—an incident the monks blamed on her after claiming to see a red, demonic symbol appear on her forehead. Deemed too dangerous to remain, she was taken in by a wandering monk named Aerin, who taught her to respect life and nature in hopes it would anchor her against whatever darkness lingered within. When Aerin eventually left her with only a note, Calen began her solitary journey to find purpose, connection, and the truth behind her origins.
Backstory: An outcast due both due to his lineage and his status as an orphan in Neverwinter, Hope took on his name in rebellion to his situation. Young and optimistic by nature, Hope has honed his skill with word and instrument on the streets of Neverwinter. Having had enough of the injustice in the city, he took on with a group of adventurers headed to Phandalin, hoping to sing their exploits and see what more this world has to offer.
Hey everyone, I would like to thank you all for your submissions, I just want to let you all know that the recruiting phase will end tomorrow. I will have to make selections, but thank you all for throwing your hat in the ring.
Backstory: Schuthen Raen is no stranger to fighting; in fact, he has fought in a great many gladiatorial rings, and probably will fight in many more in the years to come. However, even he was surprised when he went to sleep one night and woke up in another realm-- a realm in which the soul of Blackrazor resided: Blackrazor, having been looking for another minion ally, had looked to the ring for talent-- someone strong, yet had potential to grow. When he proposed a deal, Schuthen, looking to grow stronger, readily accepted, and he prepared to venture to the first place Blackrazor had told him to go; Phandalin.
Backstory: A silver tongued charlatan with a heart of gold or at least pyrite from Baldur's Gate Jasra has made several friends and enemies in her life - or rather lives. One individual did not take kindly to being scammed and took their vengeance on Jasra via steel. Fortunately Jasra's considerable if often mischievous magical powers surged and moments after the young sorcerer died they were Reincarnated - as a half-elven woman rather than the human man Jasra had been previously. As might be imagined this was confusing but Jasra quickly adapted and now rather likes being a 'her'. If nothing else it helps that many city guards and bounty hunters are looking for a human male Jasra. Now she has found her way to Phandalin looking for a fresh start with the comparatively honest field of adventuring.
Backstory: Kiselina is the son of a minor lord, he has sworn fealty to serve as a knight of Bahamut. The Greyscales reside in Neverwinter where Kiselina performs duties at the temple regularly. The Rockseeker clan vouched for the Greyscale's honor in the past during an unfounded scandal, Kiselina hopes to repay the debt owed to the Rockseeker clan through service where appropriate.
Backstory: Atih was left to the wilds, growing among the animals and connecting deeply with nature. She had later learn how to communicate when she was found by a circle. She had stayed with them for a time but left for her own wanderlust. Said wanderlust had led her to Neverwinter, to which led to an accusation since she is able to make poisons, doesn't bother to hide it, and openly admitted it before a guard. Before she could be arrested, Gundren had vouched for her, saying her skills were needed in his request. So now, she'll go along with it and see where it goes.
