Congrats! Or not. You for one reason or another have joined the Void Corps, a group determined to explore and conquer the abyss. You have been chosen to go on the dive unit the most dangerous and brutal occupation of the Corps. Fight your way through the layers to document, exterminate, discover, protect, escort allies, and attempt to return alive.
Years ago after a great war between celestial and abyssal forces the first layer of the abyss was conquered and even most--if not all--the portals on the first layer were sealed or kept under watch. This gave the commander of the Corps the idea to set up a base and occupy the first layer of the abyss to stop any demons from retaking their land. They've tried but failed under the Corps watch. Even then the abyss opened a cavern and is starting to bridge itself with the overworld in some places.
Application (four seats ready five total. Also send it to my PM's or i'll lose my mind, same goes for questions for me personally.):

Short backstory: Tyst was born and raised in the wild woods north of a town called Brighthearth. His childhood was fairly unremarkable really, although wandering the wilds he encountered all manner of fey and other unusual creatures. He still spends most of his time in the wild woods, earning money by hunting, crafting leather goods and on occasion, acting as a guide.
During his time in the forest, Tyst also became acquainted with an order of druids. Tyst and the druids have an arrangement: He provides them with a variety of leather items or maybe the location of a rare plant he's come across, and in exchange they've taught him how to use a quarterstaff and how to channel the magical essence of nature.
Several years ago a wildfire swept through the forest. Tyst found himself trapped by the flames near the druid's glen. The smoke was suffocating and as his consciousness faded, he thought for sure that he was dead. But instead he awoke amongst the still smoldering, charred remains of the forest, his once spotted fur now black as coal, but otherwise unharmed. He's not sure why, but ever since then he's been able to bend smoke and ash to his will...
Reason to work with party or not(doesn't have to be anything special): He's skilled at making maps and can act as a guide for the party.
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Probably 2024 rules ‘cause I don’t think they have that many changes from 2014. Also when everything is finalized I’ll probably send out a more detailed list of the features I’ve added to those I accepted.

Short backstory: Lazarus had always intended to be a mage. In fact, his wealthy parents had spared no expense on his education. However, after he failed his initiation in the High Tower Lazarus began to hear whispers; whispers in his sleep, whispers in dark corners, and even whispers in crowded rooms. The whispers all said the same thing, "You've a magical talent. I can help you gain power if only you dedicate yourself to me." This whisperer was always nameless. Before long, his desire to learn magic overwhelmed his self-control and Lazarus succumbed. One night in his bed he whispered, "Teach me and I am yours."
Reason to work with party or not(doesn't have to be anything special): Lazarus has a connection with a fiend of the underworld. He is anxious to learn more of the lower planes in order to glean their secrets to increase his knowledge.
(I'm thinking either a Kinetic soul monk or, if ok to use Crooked Moon material, a rouge Sinner. Which do you think would fit better here?)
Name: Sol
AS(ability scores): STR: 12 | DEX 17 | CON 14 | INT 10 | WIS 8 | CHAR 14
Short backstory: He grew up on the wrong side and liked it. He was always running with the wrong group. Every guard knew Sol. He wasn't evil, but he was a wretched sinner.
Reason to work with party or not(doesn't have to be anything special): Everyone needs a gang or team, or party. He's in. Especially if it's exciting.
Yay *grabs popcorn and a tiny flag with void co on it to wave*
I know what I said but I also just mad a wizard human level one who’s whole thing is that their old could I use them I used the standard array and sage background with origin feat being magic iniate druid
K am more just comic relief guy no real backstory except for I’m old so I traveled the world had a goood life now I’m near the end so I decided I could sit at home and wait for death to come for me or I could get up go out and come to death gha ha ha
Short backstory: Nathion was a combat medic in the military, with a secondary role as a mess cook. Previous to the military, his village had been destroyed by raiders and he was one of a handful of survivors. He joined the military so that he could never worry about that again. He's also taken a few scouting missions, especially with his proclivity for the shadows. Recently his captain recommended him for the Void Corp, which he jumped at the chance.
Reason to work with party or not(doesn't have to be anything special): He's good at scouting, cooking, and enjoys working within a group.
Short Backstory: A psychic scar left by a con gone wrong. Once a master manipulator, now a drifting weapon shaped by memory and regret. Echo’s form is fluid, his past less so—haunted by the memory of a crew lost to betrayal and silence. He channels the remnants of that failure into blades of thought, cutting through lies and legacy alike.
Reason to Work With Party or Not: Echo hates the Abyss more than he distrusts Void Corp. They’re a means to strike back at what took everything from him.
