Name: Gallias Fiers Race: Half-Elf Class: Cleric (knowledge) Background: City Watch Backstory: Language expert and private investigator in Waterdeep associated with the City Watch, in particular regarding crime that has a magical bent to it. Alignment: Lawful neutral Familiar Face: Jalester Silvermane, Human Patron https://ddb.ac/characters/15938328/9gNby5
Left at the door step of a church of Torm. Angel was raised, taught by the religious zealots of the church. She found no interest in prayer or the rituals the clerics tried to force feed her with. Thier god appeared to her in a dream a distant memory now one she has a vague recollection of . Since then she found that she didn't need the trappings to cast those spells. Not understanding her powers the clergy banished her and now she finds herself at the mercy of the world and her wits. Wondering from place to place. Mostly living on her own, having to hunt and gather for food her skill set broadened In her travels she came to Waterdeep and found that she loved the city
Meloon Wardragon, Famous Human Adventurer, "Heroes, am I right? Maybe one day you'll join Force Grey. Can I buy you an ale?"
Son of a smith on the edge of town he grew tough working the bellows and strong under the hammer. He grew up fighting the boys who picked on him, ignoring his human fathers skill and ethics, his mother was their intrest.
Only Threestrings was different. He had stories and an open mind.
Short backstory: Raised in a big family of travelling performers, he was excluded after they found he was emptying the troupes chests giving coins and clothes away to the poor in towns where they performed. Currently performing in taverns in Waterdeep and occasionally swindling rich patrons. He is allowed to join the occasional show when his father's troupe performed near Waterdeep.
Alignment: chaotic good
Familiar face: Bonnie - Kalius has been frequenting the Yawning Portal for a while now, unsuccessfully courting Bonnie via bad poetry
Name: Lassodon Race and Class: Warforged Wizard Background + Fairly Short Backstory (I may ask for a more in depth backstory if you if you make if I select you as a player):
Lassodon was made by Dougron, an old dwarf that was the inventor of his old clan and eventually he even was able to make Lassodon and taught him the ways of crafting and inventing. As time went on Lassodon found he had a talent for the arcane and was trained in the arts by one of the other dwarfs in his home. Over time though the clan was beginning to be hit by hardships and it was harder and harder to keep together due to a lack of food and supplies. Lassodon was told to try and find how to help his family and figured Waterdeep of all places might be just the place.
Alignment: Neutral Good Pick someone from the familiar faces list below (Someone you know from The Yawning Portal): Threestrings, Human Bard
Name: "Ice in Summer", aka Summer Race and Class: Tabaxi Rogue (Inquisitive eventually) Background + Fairly Short Backstory (I may ask for a more in depth backstory if you if you make if I select you as a player): Background: Criminal/Spy, Backstory: Pirate, treasure hunter, spy and ne'er-do-well, Summer takes on just about any interesting/dangerous job available, and associates himself with anyone who knows of interesting/dangerous jobs, more for the excitement and prestige than any material goal. Has a tendency to give away wealth rather than hoard it. Alignment: Chaotic Good Pick someone from the familiar faces list below (Someone you know from The Yawning Portal): Obaya Uday, Human Cleric of Waukeen
Name: Sylben Race and Class: Kenku Bard Background + Fairly Short Backstory (Courtier - Worked for the Xanathar, not by choice but he spent most of his time in the Underdark listening to the sounds of the city, but music really caught his attention. He used to attend to lowly meetings in Skullport to deliver messages and similar lesser tasks.) Alignment: Neutral Good Pick someone from the familiar faces list below (Someone you know from The Yawning Portal): Threestrings
Background: Living life as a Sage, Daviren was quite fulfilled gaining knowledge. That is, until he happened to come across an ancient tome which foretold of unbelievable prophecies. Now he has decided to leave the shelter of libraries and seek experience and wealth that will enable him to be an active part of his future.
Short backstory: Ex-member of a village militia, he becomed adventurer in order to purse his dream of becoming a knight. He has a strong sense of honor and prefers to resolve problems directly.
Background: Noble (if possible to get a homebrew doctor background, that would be preferable, but if not, no big)
Backstory: Mus has lived in Waterdeep his whole life. His family is one of the most devout and well-known (semi)noble families of Waterdeep, and has produced many a paladin or cleric to Lathander. Mus always knew that he'd be a cleric growing up, but was really more interested in healing people than the awesome magical powers. Before he knew it, he found himself swept off the cleric track and devoting most of his time to medical school. He found he was rather good at it, too, and was well on his way to becoming a learned physician. One day he was getting plastered at a party celebrating the end of a long stretch of exams, when he fell out a window and hit his head on the cobblestones below. Five years later, he woke up. In a town miles away, wearing stolen clothes and a small necklace that bore the symbol of Shar, Mus was left with one hell of a hangover.
TL;DR: Doctor from devout Lathander family hits his head so hard he switches religions and blacks out for five years. Probably being used as a pawn by Shar to screw with his family.
Short backstory: Baelor lives in a temple dedicated to Kelemvor (Death Domain). His usual duties involve tending to grounds of the city of the dead as well as comforting and aiding the dying to get their affairs in order. He is also occasionaly sent to deal with restless spirits and other undead as instances of them come up.

Ok, Posting is now over, I'll be now reviewing everyones posts to see who gets in. I'm sending PMs to those who get in and doing a brand new thread, don't take it personally if you don't get in
Short Backstory: Raised and abandoned as a child, spent 10 years living on my own. Found thieves tools one day, managed to pick the lock of the mayor in the town. Had to kill a guard to stop him raising an alarm. Taught myself how to hide and kill.
Familiar face: Threestrings
Sry red, I saw your post in another channel and hoped that you would start. Saw your post later and tried to join this one. Hope you let me in, my friends never want to play dnd
Hmm, it might be a bit hard to have 7 Players, but if you did play you'd need to change a lot about your character, first off, that seems like either Chaotic Neutral or Lawful Evil which isn't allowed, also, waterdeep isn't just a town with a mayor, it's the biggest city in all of Faerun with many courts for laws and the like, also please no Edgy Orphan Rogues, and we already have a rogue, but I guess if you made a different character you could play?
