The night is silent as you look over the village that the lot of you have been assigned to. There are supposed to be vampires tonight, but nothing is coming. And then you hear a whistle, as four shadowy cloaked figures race out of the trees, sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight. It’s time for a battle.
But let’s have a flashback to earlier today, when you first arrived in the town of Nikeras, part of the Amber Province, and part of the country of Tyvern. And for centuries, Tyvern has been having a problem. Vampires. They’ve been infecting the citizens, taking their blood, and destroying homes. So the Eight Orders, Amber, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Agate, Onyx, Diamond, and Amethyst, formed the Knights to stop them. You have just joined the Knights. This is your first mission.
You remember when you were debriefed. “There are eight types of vampires. Fireflies, Moths, Wolves, Bats, Cougars, Spiders, Cockroaches, and Owls. Fireflies and Moths are the most dangerous. They can survive during the day. They’ll be hiding among the townsfolk, watching and waiting. And at night, they’ll strike. I have given you the knight’s blade, an experienced vampire fighter.” So, as you enter this town, clutching the cross around your neck, what would you like to do?
Hello! This is a PBP about Vampires, basically a tower defense with a heavy mystery plot involved too, run by Gato (Thegatolover). We’ll be using the 2024 rules. You make a level 4 character to start. You can put your sheet on paper if you sent me your AC, DPR, and HP. You can also only multiclass two different classes to prevent too much minmaxing.

Backstory: Coltador was a prodigy and a miracle. Born the longest day of the year on a cloudless day at high noon Coltador's mother was prophesied to birth a deliverer. Shortly after giving birth to her son she was abducted by several vampires who in spite of the prophesy left the baby an orphan. Unfortunately for them a priest closely watching the mother and child rushed in and collected the child raising him to be the rising deliverance he was prophesied to be. Coltador joined the knights as soon as he was given an opportunity to take the acceptance test. He hates vampires so strongly he is blinded by rage at even the mention of their involvement.

Lol! Don't be so pessimistic... it's only been a short time since you posted the announcement.
Two questions, though: 1) For character stats, shall we roll here? Or do we use Point Buy? Or another method? 2) What is the role of the Eight Orders (Amber, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Agate, Onyx, Diamond, and Amethyst)? Beyond forming the Knights, I mean. Do they govern territories and have political power? Or are they more focused on a specific task? (Just to figure out if and how to include them in a potential character's backstory.)

Can I correct you on something? I created the world and lent it to Gato, although they are allowed to modify it as they choose, it will just only be canon for this campaign, the rest of the world will stay in my canon. The Orders were indeed created to fight a type of order, but they also govern territory and the leaders of the Orders are the government basically. Uhhhhh if you want more on the world… I have a ton of slides and documents on it and the surrounding territories although I believe Gato wanted only Instholdé in their campaign. Although if you are into reading a ton of worldbuilding slides that may not even be canon, I may be able to post them.

Backstory: Born in a heavily religious village, Uriah grew up devoting his life to the deity his village worshiped - a trinity known as the Lights of the world, the Father, Son, and Spirit. He devoted his life to the scriptures, helping others as much as he could, and as he aged he continued his devotion to the holy trinity and was granted holy power for his devotion. As he continued his training, and continuing his journey of faith, he began taking on forces of darkness, from Zombie, to Ghouls, to Vampire Spawn, he devoted his life to combating the evil that lay within the undead in order to help the people he strove to protect.
To travel beyond, into the unreachable void... He/Him My characters (Currently WIPs): Kamari De La Sol (Non-Binary Aasimar Way of Mercy Monk), Avery Veritas (Non-Binary Human College of Glamour Bard), Elthea Abott (Female Centaur Circle of the Land Druid), Vlask K'bavenn (Male Bugbear Path of the World Tree Barbarian), Theron Rigel (Female Wood Elven Arcane Archer Fighter), Casimir "Camus" Morgans (Infernal Tiefling Swashbuckler Rogue)
Yo I have a homebrew item for my character that I'm unsure if it's broken. It basically builds up charges as combat progresses and can be used to do elemental effects themed around dance moves and respective elements. (If possible could I use it outside of combat like freezing water in a 5ft radius around me if I maintain concentration and using my action to keep it up)
My character's name is Cal Ènshe (in-shay) he was a dancer and street performer who has a great love for vibrancy and life and when he noticed one of his friends and regular watchers who had occasionally joined Cal get killed by a vampire, he decided to join the order because he got pissed. He had actually taken down that vampire by stalling it out and tricking it into the morning light. (If vampires can be friendly, if not disregard the following) One of the people he used to know was a vampire and had actually taught Cal a few moves to improve himself and get better. Cal didn't know this until much later on though when his friend asked to lay low at Cal's hut for a while before disappearing from that moment onwards. Part of Cal hopes his friend is still one of the "good" ones and the reason he was being searched for wasn't to do with Ranza(vampire's name) harming someone.
He is a fire genasi monk mainly focusing on mobility and bouncing around the battlefield and I re-flavored his flurry of blows into a multi-kick move where he essentially turns into a human circular saw most of his moves are going to be some sort of breakdance move and maybe a few other dance styles thrown in. His personality is fairly bright but realistic and occasionally a bit grim when it refers to people's deaths or injuries.
I forgot his stats because I built him a while ago but I'll probably get back to you on them. They were prerolled so if you ask me to change them I have no qualms with that.

"I have advantage on dex saving throws what could go wrong?"
Also I know I kinda put Cal out there already but I have another character I might want to use featuring a custom class(full class, not subclass) I made a while ago and never got the opportunity to play. It's not overpowered and all the feedback I've gotten says they need either a buff to health or the soul well or a cost reduction to base spells. I can PM you it but I just want to know if it's a possibility to do so. If it's not I'll go with Cal.
