Choice of Campaign Start: Prison Ship breakout leading to adventure on the high seas. Mysterious Stranger with a mission. Political Intrigue
Hey, I'd like to join the campaign if you'll allow.
Name: Alexis Race: Human (Variant) Background: Noble Class: Warlock (Archfey or maybe Celestial Patron) Alignment: Neutral Good Backstory:
When Alexis, the arrogant prince of (probably a city state in this setting?), met a fairy (or nymph, god or whatever befits the setting more), he demanded she make him the perfect woman, since a prince deserved no one lesser as a wife. The fairy complied by taking his demand literally. Instead of creating Alexis the woman of his dreams, he got turned into the woman of his description. With no one recognizing Alexis anymore, she had to hit the road. Now she's looking for ways to restore her position as the heir.
Choice of Campaign Start: With the exception of Military Squad, I'd be down for anything. Political Intrigue would fit my backstory the best, I wager. Gladiator team might be an odd fit but could work.
Name: Thane Astor Race: Human Background: Outcast- Noble Class: Wizard Alignment: NG Backstory: I was half way through my appointed time as an apprentice when I was told that it would no longer be acceptable to allow me to learn at the academy due to the lack of finances that they had received...as it turned out my father had not been paying them for some time and when news of his death and the forfeiture of the lands came they no longer saw a value in me. I was expelled and forced out of the academy not gaining the full title of wizard and have been wandering ever since unable to find either my mother or my place in this large world.
Let me know when you want to start, I have no preference for a campaign start.
Name: Alexander Myrkr Race: Human (Variant if able) Background: Soldier Class: Fighter Alignment: Neutral Good Backstory: Alexander finished his years of service required in the army. He is weary and tired of the blood, the death, and the loss of friends of the years. Seeing countless young men and friends fall beside him over the years has made him a little more cynical of the gods and their "protections" and of life itself. Upon return home he found his mother and father still working the fields with his younger brother Martellus. He was told his childhood friend and supposed sweetheart and left and got married to a noble in a large city somewhere. Alexander stayed a few days and then began to wander the country and surrounding nations to find something...anything to fill the void years of war and death had forge within his soul.
Choice of Campaign Start: Choices: 1.)Pirate Ship, 2.) Gladiator Team, 3.) Mysterious Stranger, 4.) Military Squad
Note: never done PBP before but I really wanna try it out
Name: Cyril Daren Race: Human Background: Folk Hero Class: Ranger Alignment: Lawful Good Backstory: Cyril has known he wanted to help people ever since he was a teenager. When he was young three children went missing in the forest near his village. The townsfolk gave up quickly, but Cyril stayed out for days until he finally found them. From that day on, everyone knew that Cyril would become a successful guide and tracker and that he did. He now works in cities, helping commonfolk to navigate the forests, as many fear the wrath of the gods who rule there. Cyril does his work for the lowest prices he can live on, and he is happy to do it, but lately, he has felt restless. Perhaps, it is time to move to something bigger.

Pelaios is a former teacher who lived in a small mountain village where an educated man was rare indeed. He taught their children, and helped improve their quality of life. One day, an earthquake struck the village, and many blamed him for not having saved more of them. He was forced out.
Feeling dejected, and needing to prove that they were wrong about him, Pelaios is now searching for new and meaningful purpose
i like all of those, but I prefer the military squad or mysterious stranger with a job
Name: Rowan Starleaf Race: Human Variant Background: Urchin Class: Sorcerer/Warlock Alignment: Neutral Backstory: At 13, Rowan was abducted from the streets by a cult that believes the spirit of an Ancient Dragon is waiting for the perfect body to inhabit; the body of a young male. Rowan was the next in line to be presented to the Ancient Dragon. Liandra Starleaf, the elf mother who cared for Rowan as her own had already put in motion a plan to hide Rowan from the Sorcerers of her cult. However, on the day of their escape, his 18th birthday, her house was surrounded by the sorcerers. Rowan watched as they burned the house to the ground with Liandra still inside. He was brought to the field where the ceremony took place. As the ceremony neared completion, Rowan's shackles loosened and he freed himself. As Rowan began to run he found himself lifted into the air on a pillar of fire! Beneath him, he could see the shocked faces of the Sorcerers and cult members as the fire engulfed their bodies in a sudden explosion. They were gone. All of them. The pillar gently deposited him on the ground and it was that day that he first heard the voice of the Ancient Dragon Don't be afraid, I will guide you, and when you are ready, I will return.

Name: Natali Nemrtsk Race: Human Background: Sailor Class: Barbarian Alignment: Lawful Neutral Backstory: Born in a port city, Natali became intrigued with the sailors. Her father ran a tavern that sailors would frequent when they came off shore, and she began to help as she got older. By the time she was 16, she had become so excited by the stories that she had been told that she signed up to join a ship. Saying farewell to her parents was the most difficult, but as soon as she set foot on the ship she felt the sadness leave. Then the pirates came, killing most of her crew mates before she could even do anything. Something had awoken in her that day, and she blacked out. When she woke up, she was on the ship alone, all the pirates were dead around her.
Choice of Campaign Start: Choices: I would prefer Prison Ship breakout leading to adventure on the high seas. or Gladiator Team, but I'm willing to do any of them
Name: Asher Vanguard Race: Human Background: Acolyte Class: Cleric (death or grave) Alignment: Lawful Neutral Backstory: Asher has lived a curious life surrounded by people yet still alone. People have a hard time socializing with the one responsible for assisting their beloved deceased into the afterlife. Through rituals and prayers, helping the newly dead come to terms with their fate and processing the bodies as best he can. His faith has granted him new powers, powers he feels can be used for good in other places of the world. This led him to set off adventuring.
i would say Prison ship followed by gladiators, but open to anything.
Name: Khalid Waverider Race: Human (normal) Background: Sailor Class: Storm Sorcerer Alignment: NG Backstory: Khalid was born on a ship in the middle of a storm. His mother was the ships cook and his father was a deckhand. Somehow the storm contained power, power that was bestowed onto Khalid, giving him some power over the elements making him important for the ship. He started to get a hang of his power, and a good hang over the seas. He never feels more free than in a storm or on the boat, but he would gladly give up his freedom if it would help others, a trait he learned from his mother.
Would be willing to do (in this order): Prison Ship breakout leading to adventure on the high seas. Mysterious Stranger with a mission. Political Intrigue Military Squad (which might go rogue) Gladiator team

He was raised by humans, centaurs and fauns: they all tought also how to defend himself. his myth is the mighty Hercules (or any similar macho hero there is in your world). instead of skin of a wolf, he wears the skin of a wolf with the wolf head as a hood
