Hi! I've never done one of these before so I figured I would give it a try. My mostly homebrew campaign, Curse of Azynfall, will be accepting new players for the first week or two before the game begins, or depending on how much time it takes to gain characters. The campaign works with 2-6 characters generally. Also, keep in mind that the characters from this campaign will have known each other for at least a bit of time before the beginnning of the adventure. Below you can list what character you'll be playing, if you are interested in playing (the basics, like name, race, class, background, and a short backstory). If you have a longer backstory written, feel free to send it to me. Also, pick a dialogue color for your character have to make it less confusing and easier to see. You can send me a message if you have any questions or if there is something I didn't explain. Below is the description of the campaign.
After being approved via PM to me, please post your character information on the thread.
Short Campaign Description:
The lands of Pondaria have begun to sink into ruin as a dark power attempts to invade the plane. A vampire king, an arrakokra pirate lord, an archdevil emperor, and a dark deity, all attempting to rid the world of the last few remaining 'Light Primordial' paladins. All trying to carry out a plot to unleash the almighty evil Dragon Lord Azyn, the only capable of destroying the Light deities. The heroes must try against monumental powers in order to prevent the lifting of the Curse of Azynfall.
Would you like a PM of a character or a post on here? I am interested in joining. How would you like character sheets set up?
I'm glad you're interested in joining! PM would be preferred, but post is fine too. You can use any race or class available on DnD Beyond, and ability scores should be determined using Point Buy, if that answers your question?
Yes, I think that would work out well. If possible, after being approved, could you all add your information onto a reply, also to help the other characters know a little bit more?

Race: Mountain Dwarf
Class: Fighter
Background: Noble
At 56, Anghus Ironeater is the youngest son of Dugan Ironeater, Thane of Stonefall Mountain. Unlike his older brothers, Anghus has yet to distinguish himself in battle, to the disappointment of his father. No longer able to bear his family’s resentment, Anghus set out to earn a place of honor in his father’s household through a life of adventure. Anghus carries with him his uncle’s longsword (a gift from his mother) as well as a shield emblazoned with a silver ram upon a blue field, the sigil of his house.
I sent you a PM regarding the character - all you have to change is the class so we can maintain a good group diversity within the campaign and you'll be all set!

Short Backstory: Thoradin Battlehammer is a noble son born to Bruenor Battlehammer. After paying his dues in the mines as well as on the anvil, though a dwarves work is never truly done, Thoradin has prepared to set out of home for a time. Both to see the world as well as to prove himself in battle and honor the name Battlehammer. Hopefully in time, being able to return home and show his father that his son can be a respected and honorable heir. While not defending caravans, or taking a few mercenary jobs, Thoradin is typically doing what he loves most, lobbing the heads off of goblins and bashing in orc skulls. Though, when not in the heat of battle, Thoradin can be found working for local blacksmiths by the heat of the forge, for the art of a dwarf is a lifetime effort to perfect.
I am now closing recruitment as I got the amount of players I was searching for (in a much shorter time than I had expected), but just to note, there are still two characters who have reserved spots, as one is getting back to me on which of two characters they are using and the other has to make a small adjustment. The campaign's Chapter 0 should be released by tomorrow, and the campaign should begin within the week!
Yay! I'm really excited! This should be lots of fun~

Awesome. Can’t wait to get started, I pmed a couple others but here’s the low down on Folwyn
Folwyn is haunted by an experience from his past, and though you don't know the details, you know that it scared him for life and he doesn't like to talk about it. He also sometimes seems to be talking to someone "else", but not really himself. He follows the laws as long as they don't get in his way, but has a tendency to cause problems when they do. He seeks to rid the world of fiends, devils, and demons, as they have wreaked havoc on himself and his family.
To invoke his crimson rite, he draws his Glaive along the middle of his back, drawing blood to ignite the magic, which makes his weapon crackle with lightning energy. This use of his magic has left his back scarred, but to the untrained eye, it looks like whip marks, not uncommon for a chaotic character who has had to learn some hard lessons, allowing him to "hide" his abilities.
Alright, so as soon as I finished Chapter 0 I figured, why wait to release it? So this is the Chapter 0, I guess. I don't know if you could call it a backstory, or what it is, exactly, but it works into the storyline later.
Chapter 0
A dagger through the heart. A vicious death by his own hand. As the servant fell on the stone floor of the ancient temple, their blood spilling from the wound, an oath made centuries ago had finally been awoken. Magic surged through the floor, to a throne that had been vacant so long ago. And now, in that throne, sat a figure. A deity, once cast out, destroyed by his own family because of his misdeeds. The deity had thought much about his plan over his centuries of imprisonment, and acted quickly. Soon, all the Light Primordial Paladins would be no more, and no one could stand in the way of the dark deity’s plan until he succeeded in eliminating every single last god in the pantheons. This was the beginning of a new era. This was the Age of Azyn.

I think that would work best. I posted the Chapter 0 here anyway, just to get people excited about it, but the real play will most likely be on a different thread yes.
