**CLOSED** Game: D&D 5e, Dragon of Icespire Peak and moving into homebrew Group type: Online (Discord/Google Slides) *Free* Experience: Newer Location/Timezone: (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time Schedule: Weekly on Tuesday @ 8pm Pacific Roles sought: 1-2 Player(s) Game style: Casual (a lot of joking including some mature content), roleplay (a workable background helps go beyond the main module and into future adventuring), hack'n'slash.
About the group: We are a group that started out as five strangers and are getting into the game and greatly enjoying it. I (the DM) had bought the Essentials Kit, Dragon of Icespire Peak, and had nobody to play it with, so I found a few strangers on here to play with me. Along the way, we've had two PC's die, only to be resurrected by a nearby healer at a great cost to the party, we have also lost a party member due to real life situations not working for them, we've picked up another player, who I had met in real life through D&D.
Situation: If you are asked to join, you would be on a probationary status that could become standard after a few sessions and the party gets along well enough.
Story: The party has just arrived to the dragon's lair, Icespire Hold, to confront the dragon, Cryovain. A rider (you) is returning with supplies from Phandalin/Neverwinter/Triboar for a group of veteran fighters (now dead/unconscious) that were planning to fight the dragon and take it's treasure hoard.

Applicant age range: 21-30 Character name: Samuel Duke Race: Tiefling (red and black) Class: Monk Backstory:
Samuel Duke was born in a thriving village hidden deep in the woods known as Red Haven. He was born Akmenos Mellech but would later change his name after leaving his village. Red Haven was a village founded by a monk named Rylo Ken who destroyed the monastery of The Red Hand after having killed all of its students. The Master Monk of the Monastery, known only as The Master of the Red Hand, later came to Red Haven and killed Rylo Ken. Out of spite The Red Hand decided to settle in Red Haven, taking Rylo’s former house and marrying his widow. He also decided to train all of the villagers in his way of the Red Hand, turning Rylo’s former village into the new heart of the monastery Rylo destroyed. Samuel Duke, or Sam for short, is Rylo Ken’s great great grandson. Growing up in the village of Red Haven Sam was always bullied and looked down upon for sharing the blood of not only Rylo Ken but also of Demons. As he grew up he was taught the way of the Red Hand along with everyone else, despite all of his peers shunning him and encouraging him to just give up and go away. At the age of 17 he decided to finally try the test to become a fully recognized member of the Red Hand. When he was refused, Sam was furious and in his fury he demanded a Blood Duel from the Red Hand himself, who had kept his physical youth despite his old age. The Red Hand accepted his challenge and even offered him the monastery as a reward if he somehow defeated him. Sam attacked The Red Hand with all of his might. He threw every punch and kick that he knew but the Red Hand blocked and avoided him easily. Once Sam had tired himself out, The Red Hand thrust his open palm into Sam’s chest, breaking his ribs and momentarily stopping his heart. Sam was defeated and remained unconscious for two days. After he awoke he found that his body had been carried into the woods and left to die. He was found by a beautiful old woman, who nursed him to back to health using potions and tonics. The beautiful woman named herself as Fae Fae. She offered Sam a deal that would be profitable for both of them, but obscenely cruel to the villagers of Red Haven. Sam couldn’t resist and he took the deal. Red Haven along with the Red Hand and most of his students were magically enslaved by Fae Fae who had them build and work her new Spell Factory. Samuel Duke walked into the wide open world with a new bag of gold and a potion. Sam travels from town to town, committing crimes to survive and earning contacts in the criminal underworld. 3 years after he left Red Haven, a former student of the Red Hand tracks him down and tries to kill him. At the time Sam had been drinking with a group of veteran fighters he had just met. They were recruiting before they left to face a dragon and Sam had caught their eye. When the Red Hands Student attacked him, the veteran fighters protected him and scared the student away. Since then, Sam has been traveling with them, helping them on their quests.
