D&D Beyond
Hello, all! I see you've entered this world...a "Woah!" escaping your diaphragm as you fall backwards out of your throne. Your mus familiar then climbs across the page, gently ticking and clicking where it finds points of interest. Now read, adventurer. Let your tales be known.
Rules:
1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, or anything of the like in this campaign. When I say none, I mean none. I know none of you will, because you all are great, but I've met people before who think things like these are jokes. All be told, those people and I usually end up brawling --- sometimes in that sense, sometimes not. Secondly --- no 18+. I'm fine with minimal cursing (although you might want to put it in (GP)), but keep those things to PMs, alright?
2. Honestly, that's it. All I had. I know it's only one rule, but incorporate the word "Autumn" into your first post to show you've read these rules. It's a standard RP thread thing (Gato and Aspen, see? Adohand's is rubbing off on me.
Character Creation:
Oui, je sais que je suis un peu fou, mais je pense que ce information est importante.
Anyway:
For the technical, nitty-gritty blurb -- 3rd-level characters, stats rolled (if so, in the forum thread) or standard array, 2014 or 2024 rules -- they're mostly compatible, so pick your poison. Campaign lore is below for backstory purposes. I'm not expecting a lot, just enough to get me started with your character (so something like this):
PC Name:
Species/Class/Subclass:
Ability Scores (if you're rolling them --- if you roll bad stats here, then take standard array):
Backstory (anywhere from two sentences to two paragraphs to two pages [if you really want] is fine):
Cool! Excited to meet your heroes, no matter who they are.
Lore (this is just the bare minimum --- this'll expand once the campaign begins to move along):
A world split into two parts --- that of Faerie, and that of Woman and Man. Creatures --- humans, elves, dwarves, and the like --- dominate the southern parts of the world, where they were birthed from flame long ago, while the faeries are beings of frigid cold --- of dark pine and fiery candles, of faery tales (if I am to use the reference).
Your adventure begins in the small border town of Lyrey. Set on the windy moor and in the towering forest that shadows it, it is a place where all converge. You can see dragonborns working as blacksmiths, faeries shopping in the human part of town --- a peaceful place, more peace between the two groups seen here than anywhere else. "Tis a beautiful place, one where everyone coexists.
But what happens when something threatens it all --- threatens to break this peace?
Anyway: really happy to meet you and your characters. I will, as a final note, say that I am in high school. I have plenty of breaks --- two weeks in winter and ten in summer, for example --- where I am near to unable to post. I am truly sorry if I've wronged you before because of this, and I'm going to try to make up to you for it. Just note that, when I say I won't be on, I won't be on.
edit --- for any other info you want, PM me. I'll be mostly off the forums the next two days, so that gives people a chance to make characters.
Let's get it started! Hah! Let's get it started! Yeah!

Ellowyn
Wood Elf / Barbarian / Path of the World Tree
Ability Scores: Str 19, Dex 15, Con 17, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 12
Backstory (wip): Ellowyn grew up in the pinewood forests north of Lyrey, where the differences between summer, autumn, and winter were minimal. She was part of a nomadic tribe, the Shifting Branches, following game for food and trading furs for goods. One brisk morning, Ellowyn snapped awake, nightmares of a large tree in flames fresh in her mind. Something in her blood called her south, towards some unknowable danger.
She has journeyed for days. Her nightmares have started to seep into her waking world. Last evening she arrived in the town of Lyrey. The border town seems idyllic, but she doubts if she can ever find peace. In the morning she'll have to decide if she continues on her journey, or tries to find answers here.

PC Name: Faldres Durnaar
Species/Class/Subclass: Dragonborn Barbarian Path of the Berserker
Ability Scores (if you're rolling them --- if you roll bad stats here, then take standard array): Str - 19, Dex - 13, Con - 15, Int - 13, Wis - 13, Cha - 15
Backstory (anywhere from two sentences to two paragraphs to two pages [if you really want] is fine): I was born in the ancient fires of my clan. I grew up alone and was trained to be a mercenary. As time went on, I honed my skills with greataxes and warhammers. I have never lost a battle, and for that, there are people of great power that have wanted my head in the past. I moved to the town of Lyrey and started helping out the blacksmiths.

I'm interested in playing your campaign. I find it cool (no pun intended) that the races were born in different places related to cold and fire, making me think that there is only 1 season for each region (summer and winter, without autumn and spring).
I already have a character in mind that is connected to that. I'll see if i have good luck rolling for stats.

Name: Kassity
Species: Wood Elf
Class: Ranger 3
Backstory: Kassity, grew up on the fringes of the Whispering Woods, a vast, coastal forest rumored to hold both profound magic and forgotten terrors. Her childhood was spent tracking nimble deer and outwitting the occasional goblin scout, taught by her reclusive grandmother, a master of herbal lore and silent movement. One frigid winter, a blight swept through the local village, and Kassity, now an experienced forester, ventured deep into the woods to find a legendary moonpetal flower, the only known cure. She returned days later, gaunt and frostbitten but clutching the glowing bloom, forever changed by the primeval spirits she encountered and the deep, silent wisdom the forest had imparted upon her.
