Race: Aarackocra, vulture-like (If aarackokra is problematic, then Eladrin Elf)
Background/ class: Urban Bounty Hunter/ Paladin
Backstory: Exied from his flock, Bleak always had to find ways to provide for himself and survive. Long story short, he ended up doing petty thief hunting jobs within the boundaries of Baldur’s Gate. Now, with the opportunity to earn some more with the Flamign Fist, he strives to either rise in ranks or obtain more power in other ways.
I shortened the backstory, and purposefully leaned into an ambition, to fit the adventure.

Name: Zephyr
Race: Yuan-Ti Pureblood/Variant Human
Background/Class: Urchin/Sorcerer
Backstory: Zephyr has no memories before her time on the street. She has a vague sense of warmth & security prior to her earliest memory of the dampness, chill, & constant struggle to find shelter, safe water, & food. She is a child of the streets & her temperament reflects that harsh environment that promotes such skills as deception, persuasion, alertness, & most of all the will to endure & live another day. Recently she has found that her will can affect the outside world.
<I want to play her as just discovering & exploring her burgeoning sorcerous powers.>

Name: Amea Race: Changeling Background/Class: Criminal, Rogue Background: Always been one for playing tricks and what not simply for the enjoyment. Amea from a young age learned stealing was just as fun and soon took to it to make herself money. With a fascination to the Arcane and a slippery pair of hands she lives her life in baulder's gate successfully. That is until shes forced into helping out the flaming fist. Oh well, might as well make the best of it.
*Went to edit some text and spacing and the scores rerolled, I can roll again in an entirely seperate post if needed

Send me a PM please either for me to keep track of the applications. No worries for the dice rolls ( Happened to me a few times also )
You ll have to give me a background for the race choice as there are no real Changeling in the Faerun setting. It could be an experiment gone bad .. or ..

Already PMed this character:
Name: Dr Sal "Wash" Washburne
Race: Human Variant (used for Healer feat rather than cheese)
Class: Warlock (Celestial)
Background: Custom (Noble and Folk Hero blend) - Field Medic to Medical Doctor
Backstory: TLDR version: Rags to riches story already involving Flaming Fists and me becoming a healer.
Long version: I started life as a poor farm boy living in the farmlands to the east of the Gate. When I was but 5 years old, followers of the Dead Three ravaged my family’s farm and burnt it and the surrounding farms to the ground.
I was “saved”/conscripted by the Flaming Fist as a field medic and this started my career as a healer. Early on there was fear. I feared the conflict that I would be required to dart between, to try and stabilise those that had fallen. More than that though, I feared being unable to assist those that had fallen and seeing the life drain from their eyes. There was also the joy I felt when I was able to save those that had fallen.
I once saved a young Ulder Ravengard from death and following this he always made sure I was looked after, including undertaking proper medic training and later training as a medical doctor. When he ascended to Grand Duke he brought me into the upper echelons of society, where I have enjoyed a life of trusted confident and doctor to the Nobles of the Gate.
Although much of my healing is mundane, I have often felt otherworldly celestial hands guiding mine. In the recent conflict I have discovered that whoever this being of light is that I can sense has also granted me abilities to protect myself.
I have rejoined the flaming fists to protect this city I now call home.

I have had very interesting applications. So much so that I might make two groups.
Still missing a few people for that though.

Still open. I live in France. But I ll let it open until later tonight ( For me )
Finished the groups. It was very hard and took me a lot of time.
Sorry for those that didn't make it. It s not because you re characters weren't nice. It was one of the hardest selection I have had to make.
See you in other adventures
Best of luck to everyone!
