My school starts on August 24, but up till then I have all day unless I'm sleeping, and when school starts it'll be online, so unless we're doing the mic thing with discord, I can still post when school is in session.
Why are you here: To grow in power, to gain knowledge, and to make his mark in history.
Alignment: Neutral
IRL age: 25 I may not curse often, but it doesn't bother me
Brief backstory: Thurzdin followed his tribes ways until he met adventurers that slaughtered most of their kind. Seeing the power magic held he left to find a teacher. For years following rumors and whispers of a eccentric wizard that moved all across the realm using spatial magic who will teach his magic to anyone if they can pass his test. The test was to determine one's thirst for knowledge and if said drive was stronger than the will to live. He passed the old man's test and was taught the basics of being a spell scribe and sent out to the world to accumulate knowledge on his own. He was told to check in time to time and if he impressed the wizard with his knowledge then he may be made his inheritor.
Time zone and active times: Central (GMT-5) and I am available weekdays after 5:00PM and pretty open Saturday/Sunday.
Individual or party: a little of both but most individual
IRL: 37 swearing is good to me.
Alignment: neutral
Purpose: to make money
Backstory: Knock was raised in the order of the hood paid thieves and bounty hunters. Same as his parents, they will steal anything and find anyone for the right amount of money or information of value. Information can be as valuable as money in most circumstances. thief and tracker in the order with nearly 200 years of training and experience, he is infamous for his work.
Why Are You Here?: Strength, redemption, revenge, honour, purpose, glory
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
IRL Age: 29
Short backstory: Kyorga is from a seafaring, warrior tribe (think Norse vikings). Her people set sail for new lands, but were attacked by the inhabitants. Her war party all died, but she lived by feigning her death after receiving a very serious injury. If her tribe knew, she would be disgraced for not dying in combat alongside her kinsmen. She seeks strength, redemption, revenge, and purpose.
Timezone/Active Time: US Eastern 930PM - 230AM is my most active time period, but any part of the day works well for me as I check Discord regularly throughout the day
Am curious about some of your rules. I’ve never done play by post before, but its something I’ve been very interested in.
Are you open to players new to play by post format? I am familiar with 5e from being in a few campaigns and watching series (Critical Role and High Rollers), its just the format is new (other than a brief few I’ve looked through).
I noticed some posts people mentioned posts per day or week, what kind of requirements are you setting?
Also some people ask for very descriptive responses, how detailed are you looking for things like combat or roleplay situations?
Fade to black topics (to keep it PG for the public), are these as such ir would they be expected to be described and played out? (I can be vulgar and mature, but I prefer to avoid this area of rp personally, because some people get far too carried away with it)
Individual versus party experience, what can we expect? Will we run into the other parties or individuals or both? Will we be in separate timelines?
Sorry for the list of questions! Also, apologies for grammatical errors and typos, typed this on mobile.
Edit: Updated timezone information as well as availability
Preface: I am new to Play-by-Post game style, but not new to DnD 5e. I'm excited to try a new type of play. Discord is jlh924673 #5783
Name: Aquilan Aetris
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Wild Magic Sorcerer
Individual or party: I'm open to either. I'm definitely open to playing as a party, because I'm currently playing a couple of campaigns with small parties. However, I am open to playing as an individual. I think playing as an individual would really help my role playing, but I'm not sure I'd be ready for quite such an open world concept alone without some occasional nudging haha.
Why are you here: Aquilan's main focus and drive is the desire to go home to see his wife and daughter. He spent much of his life ripping of people with no regard as to how this would affect their lives until his daughter was born. Ever since then he has been trying to make the world a better place for her (a Robinhood type if you will.) Now, he just wants to get back to his family.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
IRL age: 25
Brief backstory: Aquilan Aetris is a Half-Elven man who grew up in the seedier parts of (Insert City Here. I would say Waterdeep, but any large city could work). He grew up and made his money by swindling the innocent and the ignorant. Eventually he met a young human woman, with whom he fell in love, and began to change his ways when she became pregnant with their little girl. However, years later, the same wild rampant magic he learned to control, would force him far away from his family to places unknown.
Time zone and active times: Central Standard Time, USA. I can definitely be active during the evening hours most every day except Saturday. I do have work obligations some evenings during the week, but this shouldn't be a huge issue.
Individual or party: I’m good with either. Though the character might fit solo better.
Why are you here: They were a Pirate who’s ship went down in a storm. As he sank beneath the waves he prayed to be saved. Something answered. He awoke on the islands unsure of where he is. Right now he wants to go get a drink and live the life he somehow still has but something is pulling him back towards the waters.
Alignment: Chaotic Nuetral
IRL age: 37
Brief backstory: Opps kind of have that above a little more in depth he was just a crewmen. Always looking for angles to get ahead while doing the least.
Time zone and active times: I am in the CST. But have a good bit of experience on playing on discord and try to stay involved.
Class: Rogue (likely going with the Swashbuckler Archetype)
Individual or party: Enjoy the interaction with other players so would lean that way. But open to either.
Why are you here: Brawley is seeking to make a name for himself, raise enough money to captain his own pirate ship, and eventually create a pirate fortress/town to rule the islands from. All while finding a good place to hide from his previous employer.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
IRL age: Old enough to rent a car
Brief backstory: Brawley grew up on ships and was a cabin boy on pirate ship early on. He was lucky with his first captain Everret "Butcher' Layre. Despite the name 'Butcher', the captain had a decent streak to him and never killed those who didn't have it coming to them and he never took from those who couldn't afford to lose it. That streak stuck with Brawley as well. Unfortunately, 'Butcher' died during an unfortunate fight with a group of Sahuagin. He was replaced by Beaman 'The Bear' Law, the previously mild first mate, who, without the 'Butcher' around turned out to be a violent and cruel captain. Brawley was only able to stomach this for so long. Eventually he 'liberated' some of the 'The Bear's treasure and set off for a better situation. He's been on the run from 'The Bear' ever since. He's hoping these islands are far enough away from the Bear's usual sea lanes to start a new life.
Time zone and active times: PST. Typically can check-in in the morning and maybe evening.
why she’s here: After a terrifying night she woke up here, she needs to find out how she got onto this island, and how to get off. She needs to find her Mother, her fellow soldier who was like a sister, to find the emperor who burnt down her home.
Alignment: Chaotic good
brief backstory: Zara was born an Empress’s daughter. She was trained as a fighter from a young age, in case the empire her mother was war with ambushed. When she turned sixteen she left to lead a troop. Two years later she came home, the battle victorious. Only when on the edge of the kingdom did she see the flames licking up the castle that was her home, burning so many others home. She remembers running through the kingdom and into her home, but then all went black and now she’s here. Her mother’s sapphire locket hanging from her armor. (This is kind of long sorry)
IRL age: freshman in highschool. Hope that’s not to young, I’m no stranger to cursing/sensitive themes.
Time zone is CST: I have schooling Thursday’s and Friday’s, I don’t know if I can commit Tuesday and Thursday, Although Friday 4pm CST and any other day during the week will work for me.
i dont have a character ready yet but i just wanted to check if you're still looking for people and that my time works for you, im GMT and im normally free from 5pm gmt. i would prefer party and im 23. Discord- Death#1670
Individual or party: this character will probably work best as a solo character (I'd be willing to play with a group, but I don't see him playing too well with others, unless their goals align somehow)
Why are you here: Samisell was born to wear a crown. It's his birthright, and these lands look ripe for picking.
Alignment: Lawful Evil
IRL age: 25, and I curse like a sailor
Brief backstory: Born to a noble family, that fell from grace and got cast out from their lands, Samisell has never let it go. He dreams of finding immortality in legend, by making himself a king, and takes every step he can to further that goal. He was a young man, especially by Elven standards, when his father was executed, and his family chased from their lands. As soon as he was old enough he left the hovel his mother and family had been lowered to, and never looked back. He travels to grow stronger, to reclaim what he believes is his, everything.
Time zone and active times: US Central time. I work an evening shift, but I get chances to check it at work, I'm usually available from ~11am to ~2am, the only time I for sure won't be available is Sunday from 3pm to 10pm, that's when I run my own campaign for some friends on discord
this is an old character I ran with a friend of mine when he was first trying to learn to DM, and I had an absolute blast with him and always wished I had gotten some more time to further explore this character
Not sure if you found your people yet, but I would love to be considered.
Name: Multiple characters, male and female.
Race: Open to needs
Class: Open to needs (prefer healing and tanking)
Open to playing in party and Solo
Like to play chaotic good or lawful neutral. I play to support others. I love being a catalyst for change and just being there for the adventure. Most of my characters are set to finding lost information or righting some wrongs they are blamed for.
IRL: 30
Backstory, as said above, I am pretty open to what character I play, depending on needs of the DM and party/campaign. The current favorite is a Wood Elf Cleric/Druid who is out to fix her forest and save all the things she can. Previous characters have been a Tiefling barbarian, Aasimar cleric, Kenku bard (best covers), etc.
