Name: Shadow of the Mountain
Race: Tabaxi
Class: Fighter
Background: Shadow of the Mountain grew up on the mean streets of Baldur's Gate, with nothing but his speed and quick wits keeping him from an early death. He made allies in the darkest parts of the city and earned coin dribbling rumors and information about them to those in some of the biggest buildings, including the barracks of the Flaming Fist. He knows many of the Fist, meets with them secretly, trading secrets, lies, plots, and traps for shiny things, sure, but as often he collects fibs and stories.
Leann was born in Chult, and lived among her people, the least of her clan, as she had barely any sign of her ancestry on her body. She was sent to infiltrate a human settlement in the area, and to pave the way for her people to attack the place. After living among the humans for a while though, Leann found she enjoyed their relationships, and found she enjoyed their company far more than that of her own people. When her people did attack, she joined with the humans and helped to repel the invaission force.
Leann was marked for death by her own people for this betrayal. She was exiled and could not return home. The humans, learning of her heritage, also sent her away. She left Chult, and traveled to Baldur's Gate. There she met a paladin of Torm, and traveled with them for some time, learning the way of the Ancients. They stayed near Baldur's Gate though, and thus she finds herself there now.
She found herself working for the Flaming Fist due to her martial training. it was either that or be locked up in a cell on some trumpt-up charge, so she went along with it, but has not been enjoying the way the Flaming Fists have been treating people of late.
Alright I think I've completed my application. However I have a couple of questions
I wasn't clear if a full character sheet was required?
Does my character have to be conscripted to the Flaming Fist? I took it to understand that as long as they have a reason to be in Baldur's Gate it would be ok, am I correct in my understanding?
Eventually you'll have to have a full character sheet, (when the campaign starts) but it isn't necessary for your application.
Generally, yes, everyone's been conscripted to the Flaming Fist (or is working with them) for one reason or another.
Alright. Thanks! Have finished up now.

Calen had spent so long living alone among the trees of his home, he had lost track of time. How long has he spent, meditating and training both his mind and body? With each day being basically the same as the last, and the next, a century could have passed. One day, his reverie was broken by undead who had began to chop down trees nearby. After disposing them, he found human necromancers but could not defeat them. He went to Baldur's Gate to get help with them, was referred to the Flaming Fist, and they conscripted him instead after finding his training useful. He thinks he is earning their help.
Backstory: Nintette was very much aware of the presence of luck; lucky to be born with a sharp mind, but how unlucky was that for others. While not practising spell, she attended gatherings with those following Tymora. After many years, it snapped; she was to find out just how lucky was, out there in the world...
For many years, Lisette was the greatest actress the world had ever seen. She toured the world and found fame, fortune, and success for many years, all thanks to a deal she had made years before. Lisette became used to the adoration and lavish lifestyle of a celebrity and was known for her amazing acting ability and her diva like attitude. But now it's time for her to hold up her end of the deal. Her patron told her to make her way to Baldur's gate and join the Flaming Fist, so she begrudgingly went. Lisette is not interested in heroics, adventure, or anything remotely dirty, but she is also much less interested in losing her soul.
Hi @Inkedwolves! I’d love to try this setting! I love a good role play session! Feel free to check out my recent posts to see if our play-styles would gel! I hope so. I can easily post multiple times a day. Here’s my character idea:-
Background: Noble Alignment: Neutral good (this could ‘drift’ (not evil)) Backstory: Kayda was both cherished and feared when she was born. She showed signs of both metallic and chromatic dragon heritage. But more than that she seemed to have latent powers. As she grew, so too did her powers. And she learned to flaunt her light and dark sides in equal measure to great effect. As her powers grew, she wandered further: through the wilds; and from village, to town, to city. And she's picked up a trick or two along the way. Getting by on her wits and cunning, she's equally at home hidden in the shadows or in a party in high society, relying on her natural charm and exotic background to navigate any scenario. Making as many enemies as friends though, she never stays in one place for very long. Although she always has a story for those who will listen (or for those who buy the drinks). She has based herself for a while now in Baldur’s Gate. What better place to network and explore her powers. Recently she has been conscripted to the Flaming Fist, looking for somewhere to channel and focus her emerging magics.
((I’m happy to tweak anything here to fit the world. And love developing deeper backstory as the game unfolds and in reaction to other party members)).
Hello, DM! I'm really interested in playing Descent Into Avernus. I'm a very active Discord user. I can post more than three times a day. I love playing PbPs in Discord. And I am wondering if you're planning on doing this campaign there?
I'm thinking of playing a Bard with a dip of Rogue. He is a scribe turned holy assassin sent by Deneir to take revenge on whoever is responsible for destroying Elturel and the archive of knowledge stored there.
