A small village of a few hundred humans, nothing extraordinarily advanced, some things relatively advance but nothing extraordinary. A hunting party returns with enough meat to store for the soon coming winter, farmers getting their last harvests in before readying their farms for the cold. Then a sound starts going off like a pop almost, a never before seen bird pops up out of nowhere, then another one, a Dwarf falls from a few feet up in the middle of town square with a soft "oof" as he lands. Then more and more as elves, more humans, dragonborn, warforged, kalashtari, goblins, bugbears, Dragons and other creatures roar in the mountains. More and more life begins to populate this land. Even buildings start to appear, thankfully placing themselves neatly next to the rest of the village, people start waking up remembering parts of their old home. After about a week or so the pops finally begin to slow down and stop. Nobody knows quite what to do and though people remember most important parts of their past life a common theme occurs in all of the newcomers, they cant remember the last 2 days or so of their lives before the swap as people have called it, people remember most things before 2 days ago but those 2 days nobody can remember, but as time goes on so do the people and they rebuild. A treaty is organized between the originals and the newcomers, that they will each have seats in government and help each other out and life moves on. Now a new threat arises though, people have been hearing distant pops with not so, peaceful new arrivals and so is where our story begins.
Alright sorry for the massive lore dump there but wanted to get a background sort of set up. All of you are working for the military in one way or another, whether it be doing so to have your crimes absolved, the kindness of your heart, or as mercenary work you all have one general mission, along with most of the worlds other militaries. Find the source of these demon-like creatures attacking cities, your homes even. Characters start at level 1, milestone, and whatever you want for skills. You can reroll stats if they're extraordinarily bad but other than that regular rules for stat rolling. All races are allowed and ya. Post character apps here along with sheet link. Looking for about 4-6 players, will decide on apps in a few days. Edit: Just as a note you can use any race you wish, the original humans were just here before anything else since a few messaged confused about that.
Short Description: Gabriel stands at 5'11'' and is 200lbs of nothing but muscle.

Gabriel is loyal to a fault placing his companions and countries needs over his and trying to do right by the people, especially if he can make a bit of coin as well.
Small Backstory: Gabriel is a soldier since birth for his nation and his people, this dedication to his job and learning has cause him to not get along with people so often and for other it is hard to warm up to him. Now that his people, and him, find themselves in a new land he is dedicated to helping however he can - choosing to spend more time on missions then actually around people.
Short Description: Blazing red hair eyes that rarely give away any emotion other than confidence, Adalene rarely refuses to back down from any conflict that comes her way. Oddly enough though, her fiery personality is the exact opposite of the icy powers she prefers to use.
Small Backstory: Adalene grew up in a family that preferred order in everything, and with that came with quiet study of old magic books that her grandfather used before his death. Magic was something Adalene liked to learn about, and with this learning and practicing came a natural talent that she shared with her grandfather. When she was old enough, she took her talents to nearest military encampment and joined what she could. So she did, and now she helps keep order in the village while waiting for something more interesting to appear for her to try her wand hand at.
Short Description: A blonde human male with tanned skin. Usually wears shirts without sleeves and has a lute strapped to his back
Short Backstory: Nico had always been someone looking for some thrills. That's what led him to becoming a gladiator instead of going out and finding a real job when he came of age and that's what led to him eventually leaving his cushy life as a gladiator with plenty of money and beautiful admirers, joining a mercenary company in hopes of finding bigger and better thrills in some real battles with higher stakes. So when he woke up in a new place with no memories and news of a bunch of demon-type creatures, he immediately jumped at the opportunity to join the battle.

Name: Zogar
Race: Mark of Finding Half-Orc
Class(s): Cleric - Forge Domain
Short Description: Zogar appears mostly human and can pass as one under casual observation. His teeth are only slightly exaggerated and do not protrude in front of his lips. His ears are slightly pointed, but are concealed under thick hair and/or his helm.
Small Backstory: A half-orc who heard the calling of the elven god Mythrien Sarath, Zogar quietly abandoned his tribe at a young age, choosing to pursue his faith alone, rather than being ostracized by his clan. Living in a small hut a few miles from a mountain village, he made a quiet living selling the items he smithed. As he's grown older he's embraced his natural hunting instincts, living off the land more and picking up the occasional bounty. He yearns to know more about his god and struggles with the fact that there is so much he doesn't know about him. The elves won't embrace him regardless of his beliefs and he's usually forced to worship alone, often at a small shrine he sets up when he takes any kind of residence. Zogar is conflicted about being a half-orc worshipping an elven god. Because his orc traits aren't easily visible, he generally tries to pass himself off as human. He fears returning to his tribe both because he left without telling anyone and because his beliefs are in direct contrast to theirs.
