Hello, I'm looking to run Curse of Strahd using the 2024 rules.
I'm looking to take 4-6 3rd level characters, the only species I would like characters to have is human. I'd prefer players who have not run the adventure before.
2024 backgrounds are preferred, but 2014 background will have to take a custom origin feat, unless they already come with a feat, which they would then get in place of an origin feat.
No Planescape/Spelljammer/Eberron character stuff. No Partnered/3rd Party/Homebrew stuff.
2014 subclasses are allowed, except for Shepherd Druid.
Standard Starting Equipment, fixed hp.
Point buy for stats
Players will be starting as a pre-existing adventuring party on the road to Neverwinter when they encounter a curious mist.
To apply, please provide:

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)
Name: Brother Severin Species: Human Male Class/Subclass: Monk/ Warrior of Mercy Background: Acolyte (of Oghma lord of Knowledge) Character Details: Brother Severin, a monk of Oghma, once served in a cloister near Neverwinter where he studied the body as a living text, mastering the paradoxical Way of Mercy, to heal through pain and end suffering with swift death when needed. Drawn by rumors of creeping corruption, he joined a group of travelers leaving Neverwinter, hoping that safety in numbers would let him minister to the weary while seeking the source of the world’s sickness. Then they encountered the mists...
Name: Luna Dyradell Species: Human Class/Subclass: Wizard/Diviner Background: Noble Character Details: This is not Luna’s first adventuring party. Once she left her cushy lifestyle in Neverwinter behind (a reunion with the rest of the Dyradell family is low on her list of things to accomplish on this trip) she ran with a party that called themselves the Fortunate Few. The party was led by Caspian “Caps” Faulkner, for whom Luna had, let’s just say, feelings.
One day, things took a turn. What should have been a simple delve into a dungeon for some ale money turned into a bloodbath. A monster unlike any they had seen before slaughtered the party’s priest and thief, leaving only Luna and Caps.
In the end, Caps decided the two of them should split up. “It can only chase one of us,” he said. “I go left, you go right.”
That is when she first had what she has come to call her ”portents.” She knew that if they split the way he suggested, the monster would chase him instead of her. And she let it happen.
For over a year she has lived with the guilt. Knowing Caps’ fate, knowing that he would die instead of her, and just LETTING it happen.
It took some time for Luna to feel comfortable in a party again. She hasn’t told the others about the Few, and more importantly, she has made a personal vow to never let another one of them die if she could prevent it.
Background: Bjorn grew up among a clan of traveling builders that created roads, way stations and small forts throughout the land. He was sent off to the temple of Gond for further education, where he was discovered by a priest of Oghma, who convinced him to join the path of knowledge. He decided to take the 3rd path of knowledge, the path of the itinerant priest, which is traveling to learn and spread that learning.

Name: Nathaniel Holloway (character sheet) Species: Human (2024) Class/Subclass: Ranger / Gloom Stalker Background: Guide Character Details:
Nathaniel Holloway is a seasoned ranger who makes his living guiding travelers through untamed lands. He’s pragmatic, with a dry sense of humor and a knack for spotting trouble long before it finds his companions. While not unfriendly, he tends to keep conversations short, letting his skill with a bow and his knowledge of the wild speak louder than words.
Name: Raylen Fenwick Species: Human Class/Subclass: Warlock/ Great Old One Background: Wayfarer Character Details:
Raylen Fenwick travels for work and as a way of life as per the Fenwick family tradition. Loves stories especially from his mom when she was known as the Darting Robin in Neverwinter. At times feels not himself a side effect from encountering something remarkably unfathomable when he was lost in the crooked forest with the red soil down south halfway between Neverwinter and Waterdeep. Where his mind is like a stain glass window and strange power bubble up from the seams between the glass. Because of this he is more reserved and takes a moment before speaking. Is drawn to baubles as they are easy to carry and are something new to show the family. Willing to defend those in need though from a distance.
Name: Collette Elleworthe Species: Human Class/Subclass: Bard - College of Glamour Background: Folk Hero Character Details: While voraciously curious about the world at her core, Collette tends to be a bit shy and unsure in fully pursuing her inquisitive nature. Where that uncertainty vanishes is when she's cooking or performing- the latter of which due to her treating the ability as more of a hobby than something worth following with a fervor. She takes a great amount of pride in the former, making sure that each dish, whether it be a proper meal or a roadside snack, be made with the upmost care. That same consideration is taken when she finds herself in a skirmish. While Collette's not a trained fighter by any means, that doesn't mean she's going to stand by the wayside when her compatriots are in danger. Character Sheet
Backstory: Davaris' departure from the monastery for military service was likely be due to an external threat requiring her participation in the defense of her community. All able-bodied individuals, regardless of their monastic commitments, were called upon to bear arms to protect their people from invaders and warring factions. This was a difficult decision, creating a conflict between her spiritual vows and her duty to her society. In the end, she was trained then released as the opposing sides came to a peaceful agreement.
