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.

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.
Race: Human

Will this game be using 5e 2024 or 5e 2014 rules?
