I'm looking to recruit 3-5 players for a discord based PBP starting at lvl 1. Expectations would be minimum of once per 24 hours (loosely)but more encouraged.
The thing I enjoy most is bringing player characters to life
Therefore I'm looking for players who play the game like it's an evolving fantasy novel, not for min maxing. I love a clever trick to foil the bad guy, I will allow some homebrewing if appropriate or fun and interesting. (I'm a DM who will let you argue, and even agree with you depending on the scenario)

Backstory: Niki was born in a gnomish hillock tucked into a forest some distance east from the coast, or.. so she thinks... that's what she remembers her parents telling her anyway. Her earliest memories are of the mean streets of Waterdeep, where her family ended up after being expelled from their gnomish home for reasons Niki never understood (and only half remembers). Her parents didn't last long. Without possessions or shelter in the big city, they were taken by some thug or cold night, or perhaps they just grew tired of their young daughter. Regardless, Niki has been alone since she was a young child (except for the occasional rodent pet, always named Algernon).
But the streets could not take her as they had her parents! She scrounged in alleys and slept in gutters with only the layabouts, criminals, and rats to keep her company. She grew up fast and she grew up hard. She has spent 80 of her 90 years struggling for survival in and around Waterdeep, and today has a bit of a reputation as a fighter among the lowest stratum of the city.
Lately she has shown a more altruistic side of herself, sending a portion of the money she makes (ill-gotten or otherwise) to help support an orphanage on the verge of failure. Niki knows the hardships of childhood in the street, and can't bear the thought of more innocent little ones cold and hungry. Unfortunately, her meager donations have not proven to be enough, and the orphanage is only weeks away from closing. She needs money, and fast.
Perhaps some adventuring, while dangerous, could keep the orphanage afloat?
Backstory: Korfer was making a living working in a travelling circus as a tightrope walker. He started very young, having no parents nor home, he got recruted when the circus was passing by his hometown. A job that he loved, permitting him to travel all around the world. The rumor says that he was expulsed for having a affair with the wife of the circus manager.
Quirk: He speak with a weird accent (i'm french/canadian irl, english is not my first language so it will fit my character if sometime i write bad)
Talent: He's also a great juggler (and he like to do so with anything he can put his hands on)
Passion: Women
🤷: His stage name was Korfer the Rope Wonder
Personality Traits: Whenever I come to a new place, I collect local rumors and spread gossip.
Ideals: People. I like seeing the smiles on people’s faces when I perform. That’s all that matters. (Neutral)
Bonds: I will do anything to prove myself superior to my hated rival.
Flaws: I once satirized a noble who still wants my head. It was a mistake that I will likely repeat.
Born to two mercenaries based out of Luskan, Anora found herself orphaned after both her parents died on the job, as people in the life usually do. From there, she scraped what she could out of the child streets until an old acquaintce of her parents, a tiefling wizard named Xerxes, took her in. Under his care, Anora was drilled relentlessly physically and mentally, but Xeres form of discipline never seemed to take and Anora remained as restless a street fighter as ever. Eventually Xeres gave up and sent her away to a monastery where a red dragonborn named Ibris was able literally beat some sense into her.
Now set loose back into the world, Anora looks to find challenges wherever she can, so that she may test herself against them supposedly for enlightenment but honestly, because what else is there to live for other than a good fight?
Quirk: Will twirl anything - coins, daggers, whatever - between her fingers when idle to keep her hands busy.
Talent: Can eat the spiciest food without breaking a sweat
Passion: Cannot pass up a fight to save her life
🤷: years of being on the street and in the monastery has her so accustomed to sleeping on the floor that beds feel somewhat strange to her
Backstory: Frenevir raised fascinated by the histories of great wizards of old. Specially his grandmother who died in the defense of the elves retreating from Myth Drannor when the city fell. He always wanted to live up to his grandmother's legend and had studied and trained hard all his life to achieve that goal. When he was about to get access to the exclusively bladesinger academy, he spent the night training his martial prowess and spell until exhaustion. And that's when he slipped. One spell went too close of a carpet and a fire started. When the smoke settled down half of his academy were burnt, fortunately it wasn't the bladesinger school, but it was enough to put his application on revision, and only thanks to his lineage. He feels he had to prove himself again and feels unfair that one small mistake could cost him his future. Following the advise of one of his masters, he has left the elven woods and is trying to learn something from the experience while he waits for things to calm down back in home.
Quirk: He hums and sing while learning his spells every morning.
Talent: Surprisingly he can drink a lot before getting drunk.
Something oddly passionate about: Swords. He just love them and can't help himself when seeing a sword from another culture to try to study it and start making questions about it to its owner.
🤷: He hates to look dirty. He compulsively cleans his clothes and gear to just look clean. And so does in others.
Backstory: Ausius was born into the Greycloud Clan. He was not the strongest member of his clan, tall but lanky. He always did his best for his clan and found a comfortable spot in the wilds of his mountain home, foraging or helping the hunters. He always had a way with animals. His curiousness about the decay of dead things had led him to question the nature of the life and death cycle. Recently the giants have been encroaching into the lands his clan has lived on for generations and his elders have sent him to seek aid from outsiders.
Quirk: He doesn't get jokes, ever, but will tell the worst ones
Talent:
Something oddly passionate about: Finding and tasting new molds and fungus
🤷: He is effectively color blind, sees the world in extremely high contrast greys , excellent night vision

Angus Taylor
Ability scores: 15151617149
Class: Fighter
Race: Human
Background: Folk Hero
Backstory: My family is from a farming hamlet outside of Yartar, and I was apprenticed to an alchemist in town for a month at a time. I once returned home to find all the houses and barns reduced to rubble and ruin, and everyone I grew up with was dead. I took up arms to seek revenge whatever it is that destroyed my home.
Quirk: He's constantly chewing something: a toothpick, blade of grass, etc.
Talent: Brews his own beer.
Something oddly passionate about: Growing up, he learned a fair bit of carpentry and other tinkery. Angus WILL NOT destroy something that is finely crafted.
🤷: Keeps his tools and weaponry in top shape, with everything obsessively sharpened and oiled.
Backstory: Egan doesn't know why he remembers this, or if this is even real, but he remembers a bronze dragon disguised as a human infusing some of her blood into him back when he was an abandoned baby. Next thing he knew he was in an orphanage and then was quickly adopted by a famous wizard named Veldus because of the supposed "magic prowess" he sensed in him. Unfortunately, that magic prowess never manifested and Egan was quickly tossed aside as a failure. Forced to live and survive a rough life on the streets, Egan made money by stealing from the criminal underworld and occasionally helping people do things for a modest fee. That life ended when he found out his former master has died of old age and decided to try and salvage his life by traveling the world. Doing mercenary work occasionally.
Quirk: Because of his former life with a wizard, he speaks in an intellectual accent despite having spent years in various slums, charming to some people, not so much to others.
Talent: He has read up on many things and knows much about magic despite not being able to use it.
Something oddly passionate about: Due to that one memory which he believes may or may not have been a dream, he has been oddly passionate about dragons and their personalities.
🤷: He doesn't even really know why, but for some reason, even though he hates the taste of alcohol and wants to puke when drinking it, he always drinks a small cup of it at inns or taverns, and top shelf alcohol too! Perhaps it's a habit from constantly trying to blend in all the time in inns and taverns.
Okay folks we are closed! Thank you everyone for your application,I do wish I could take everyone and hate to leave people wondering why I didn't pick them.
