Crawl through the dungeon as ‘written’ by the eponymous Rick Sanchez of Rick & Morty fame. Can you complete the challenge with one character or will they die and die again for your relentless entertainment pleasure? Will the fabric of reality warp as some of your fellow players inevitably disappoint the group by flaking, causing them to be replaced, or will the DM actually bother to come up with a plausible reason for some new a**hole to be joining the party?
Players must be age 13+ according to the front of the book. By applying to, and playing in this scenario you are also professing you are at least 13 years old. Sorry, 12-year-olds.
You can use the Big Kid words, but they must be censored in some or all parts, not so much to protect the kids so much as nod to the show (and the module’s) content. No slurs whatsoever (check section 2e in the guidelines).
Understand the DM will not lie to you, but sarcasm can be hard to distinguish over text and that may or may not be taken advantage of during the scenario.
If you join you must post at least once in 72 hours. After that your character will be piloted by the DM. If no notice of absence is given beforehand and you cannot be reached within 24 hours, you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. If you wish to rejoin after the fact, you will be placed at the bottom of the waitlist.
Feel free to disrespect other characters IC but respect each other OOC.
CHARACTER CREATION
Roll ability scores first bc that sh*t can get hilarious. You roll each stat by rolling 4d6, dropping the lowest dice roll, and adding the result together.
Choose race, class, and background. You can use anything available in DDB’s character creator minus Homebrew content. Critical Role content is allowed.
Think up Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws. Each of these should be no more than 3 sentences long. Brevity is the soul of wit and all that sh*t.
Edit these into your post with your ability scores. Don’t touch those ability score rolls/code or the thing’s going to call you a dirty, rotten cheater.
Your character starts at Level 1 and will be progressing by Milestones.
Don’t make your character sheet unless you’re selected for the first round… or because you’re bored. Nerd.
Evil is allowed.

Player Name: Morty
Character Name: Keth Silverson
Race: Half-Orc
Class: Rogue
Background: Urchin
Alignment: Chaotic good
Personality Traits: I have trouble saying no to pretty girls… and Mad Scientists
Ideals: What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine.
Bond: You know what? What’s mine is actually mine. Give it back.
Flaws: I have problems trusting my allies.
By Thursday I will select the 4-6 applications that make me laugh the most… or who I feel might be a good team or otherwise stick around. Whatever. The rest of you chuckleheads will go on a wait-list for if/when a replacement is needed.
The dungeon will start on Saturday. DM is on EST time. Be sure you post your character sheets here or DM them to me by then or the next person in line gets your spot.

quick description of the concept: Because of those rolls below 10, i had the idea of a wheel chair bound scientist. Bad rolls into body-stats, the good ones into Mind-Stats. The wheelchair could both be falvour or have a mechanical application.
Traits: I dont care how its done, as long as it's done good Ideals: Destruction is just as fun as construction Bonds: I help those who owe me a favour so they can live to pay it back Flaws: My approaches to solve problems are rather chaotic

No hard feelings, Mister Lorrdwolf, I just thought the funniest best defense was a discombobulated offense with one sh*tty healer. I'm sure we'll see you around soon.
I'm leaving the thread open for anyone else who wants to apply until we've got a few back-ups.

Bond: My beloved Emelia. Though our time together was only one night, I hope one day to be a man worthy of taking her away with me someday.
Flaws: Kleptomania.... if its shiny small and unwatched, it will be mine.
