Class (including what subclass, if any, you're planning on following): Divine Soul Sorcerer
Backstory: Kobolds are not exactly the brightest creatures in the world... And Zax is no exception. When he was still merely an egg, his tribe was displaced from their underground homes due to the turmoil on the surface. Time passed and when he hatched, he was quickly adapting to life on the move. Curious to a fault, Zax lost interest in every day life with his own kind. With several dozen siblings, his pack hardly noticed he was missing, and thus he was free to pursue his whimsical interests. Most of which nearly got him killed more than a few times. One such adventure brought him to a run-down temple to Bahamut within the Dwendalian Empire. A kindly priest shared meals with him and explained the legends and stories to the captivated kobold. The priest had even begun to like the strange creature until one day, Zax had just up and left, catching a whiff of baked goods on a cart heading south towards Port Zoon. It wasn't until he reached (unbeknownst to him as he had no reason to track his age or basis to do so) adulthood, that he began to notice strange abilities forming within his mind. Thoughts and emotions that were never there before this monumental internal shift. The idea that a great and powerful being like Bahamut could care about a scrawny runt like Zax? Magnificent. He set out to tell the world! The biggest problem remains: Determined or not, what can one little kobold hope to accomplish in the world alone?

Name: Wilkas Mayweather
Race and Background: Half Elf Sailor
Class (including what subclass, if any, you're planning on following): Bard (Lore? Probably Lore)
Backstory: Wilkas Mayweather is a tried and true sailor. A local to the coast, spent much of his life on the water. He spent a sabbatical or two to study and learn medicine. A man of faith, but derives his power from other means, he uses his arcane and practical knowledge as a medic for hire. Been known to scuffle from time to time two. There are more than one way to help people.
Class (including what subclass, if any, you're planning on following): Wizard (probably Chronurgist)
Backstory: Donaar has always been very interested in learning new things. While almost any subject could hold his attention, none was able to do so as easily as magic. From a very young age he figuratively devoured any books on the subject, and so it came as no surprise to his parents when he asked them to enroll in the Academy of Applied Sciences, the center of knowledge and research of the region. There he spent most of his adolescent years learning, learning, and then learning some more. Yet as extensive as the Academy's library was, even that one couldn't hold all the knowledge in the world. And so he decided to become an adventurer (much to his parents' dismay). All this time he had led an easy life. He knew the path he had chosen wouldn't always be pleasant. But sacrifices must be made, and if knowledge isn't a worthy cause, what is?
Race and Background: Pallid Elf, Cobault Soul Sage

I followed the Heroic Chronicle and the Xanathar Guide to build the backstory, had 1 rival,1 ally, 1 pet, 2 fatefull moments. If you would like to review that, just say.
I will be making selections and contacting people this afternoon. Thanks for all the interest! For those of you who aren't selected, hopefully we will have an opportunity to adventure together elsewhere on these forums.
Dustyn was a child when the Revelry killed his parents. He swore he’d take vengeance, and he did. He grew up, and joined the revelry to get closer and find the ship of pirates responsible. He did, even joining the crew of the Sea Witch. And then he sank it just off the coast, setting the canon powder to blow, while he got into a dingy a rowed for shore. Now he needs to find new ambitions
Backstory: I spent most of my earlier years aboard a ship mapping the oceans, learning to navigate by the stars, read the wind and the waves. It was both an exciting life and a peaceful one. I spent most my free time playing the flute. When we arrived in the menagerie coast my ship was attacked by pirates, many of us were captured those who weren’t jumped overbaord. I was the only one to make it to shore. Thanks to my ability to breath underwater, I was able to hide under the waves till everything settled down. I made my way to Port Zoon playing my flute and singing in tavern for coin. I intend to earn enough gold to pay ransom for my shipmates release if I can. If all else fails I will take up my sword and fight for their freedom.
If this is still recruiting, I'll try out.
