Looking for 4 members to join a new campaign. All are welcome! Use this thread to introduce yourself if you are interested and what type of character you are thinking. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the campaign. I will also have a poll on what campaign you would like to do.
What I would like from each of you is the following information about your character. Please feel free to use this thread to discuss amongst yourselves and ask me questions, once we have 4 members we can get rolling!
Name (Bold, in the color you would like associated with your character.)
Race
Class
Background (5 - 10 sentences, or whatever works) - try to include your place of origin, why you chose to become an adventurer, and some personal goals.
What events led you toward the Sword Coast, and to Greenest specifically?
What led you to group up with the others?
Some notes about character creation:
Point buy for attributes
In order to make certain race/class combinations viable, if you would like argue that your race's +1 should go to a different attribute based on your background, go for it. The limitation here is that the +1 cannot go into another stat with a racial bonus, and must go towards either another physical stat, or another mental one (STR -> DEX or CON, INT -> WIS or CHA, etc).
If you want to argue that your character should have certain equipment not included in the starting equipment, go for it.
Below are two optional features that you can choose in place of the feature normally granted by your background (Please only one of each- first come first serve).
Optional Feature: Cult of the Dragon Infiltrator:You have infiltrated the ranks of the Cult of the Dragon. Having spied on the organization for quite some time, you are familiar with its inner workings and customs. You have a second identity as an initiate of the cult, enough of a facade to blend in as a simple grunt or servant.
Optional Feature: Dragon Scholar:You have studied dragons and their lore for many years. You can automatically identify locations built or used by dragons and can identify dragon eggs and scales by sight. If you fail an Intelligence check to recall lore relating to dragons, you know someone or some book you can consult for the answer unless the DM rules that the lore is unknown.
Background: Voria’s tribe lived near the Sea of Frozen Ice. Her family was made up of mostly fishermen and sailors, though there were a few pirates too. At an early age, Voria felt the call of the wild. After completing her chores for the day would leave and explore Icewind Dale. As she got older Voria would spend more and more time outside of her tribe She would explore and get to know the wildlife of the frozen land. In recent years she has taken to explore beyond the Dale and into the southern lands.
What events led you toward the Sword Coast, and to Greenest specifically - She was heading South, curious to see more lands, She would stop in Greenest to resupply.
What led you to group up with the others? - Travel companions. It's safer on the road, plus learning southern customs by observation
Name:Rhogar Turnuroth Race: Dragonborn (Teen) Class: Fighter Background: Wanderer Backstory: Rhogar and his tribe were living peacefully for years, not having many qualms with other creatures. One day, while Rhogar and his family were having a meal, their village was surprised by a raid of Orcs and Ogres. These beasts destroyed the village and everyone in the village (As far as Rhogar knows). Rhogar's mother and father sacrificed themselves to allow Rhogar to escape, some of the other young Dragonborn were not so lucky. Rhogar spent the next couple of years living alone in the forest, learning what he can about fighting and honing what he had already learned from his parents already. He found his way to the Sword Coast and eventually to Greenest, where his adventure begins.
What led you to group up with the others? Not liking the long life of solitude, he finds this group and tries to tag along, so as not to be alone anymore, and maybe making a couple friends in the process.
Sweet! Thanks guys! We will just wait for two more people to have a group of 4. Before we begin, have you both played a "play by post" before? Specifically on DnDBeyond?

I have, more on Discord, but I've done it on DNDBeyond too. But also have been a DM more than a player, so I'm excited!
i was born into a clan of hobgoblin called the Gharlendar. they were a secretive group of hobgoblin that had learned the secrets of magic. they used it to destroy other clans of goblins, bugbear, hobgoblin, and even the normal humanoids. they became over confidant because they knew the secrets of magic, and started open war with the most powerful empires. the were, quickly, efficiently, and ruthlessly destroyed by the empires.
this all happened when Vrakerg was a child. when his clan was destroyed, he used the little magic he had been taught to escape, and survive in the wild. one day, when he was 13, he found dark elf habitation. to him, it looked like the only civilization he had ever saw: a war camp. he walked in, and said that he could help them for a price. they turned him down, as he was only 13. but they said maybe when he was older. for the next 12 years of his life, he practiced every day, honing his few spells he knew to a perfection, spending hours with a longbow he had made with sturdy sticks and vines, practicing his stealth and tracking. when he was 25, he went back to the drow mercenary, for he had learned that was what they were, and made the same offer. after seeing his skills, the drow accepted. he fought in many successful campaigns with the drow, and made a sizable amount of money.
that was when he learned of the cult of the dragon. the drow despised them, and therefore he did to. he and the drow decided to attempted to infiltrate the cult of the dragon, and kill them all. they sneaked in, weapons at the ready, and started the massacre. they were noticed, and every last one of them was killed, except for Vrakerg. after this, he dedicated his life to stopping the cult of the dragon at any cost.

i started recently, but in that time i have joined as many as i could, and DMed a few.
I've played HotDQ before and got to somewhere in chapter 3 before the campaign fizzled. I wouldn't mind seeing how the adventure ends, but wanted to let you know in case this is going to be a problem.
