Interesting math note:
If you picked 4 people completely at random the odds of all 4 currently being completed (both parts) would be 20.5%
If you picked 5 the odds are 13%
If you picked 6 the odds are 8%

I expect however that we did better than average because I doubt anyone truly picked at random.

Finishing phase 2 now. Sorry, I have a heck of a flu from when we moved my daughter into her dorm room and it's been kicking my butt!

And I've updated the list with all of the most recent completions. Thank you everyone for your continued patience and support!

We now have but 1 incomplete application in phase 2 with 3 days to go. This all should finish/finalize without any major hitches!

Updated Fleur's application with part 2.

I had trouble narrowing it to 6. There are so many amazing characters. Good luck to everyone.

A Smite'n Hex

Name: Jason Castle (Jason Todd, Red Hood; Frank Castle, Punisher). You can read the background, and a bit of my writing, along with the link near the end of this post.

I can make adjustments, for the game. I've only been playing 5e for a few months, so let me know what changes/updates I may need. I used Point Buy for my V.Human, and rolled for HP L2 + L3, for 28HP.

If I need to reroll anything, please let me know. TY!

Race: Variant Human.

Class(es): Hexadin - Oath of Vengeance Paladin + Hexblade. 2 Paladin, 1 Hexblade (so I can use CHA for my weapons and such).

FEATURES, TRAITS, SPECIAL ABILITIES.

Soldier Background [PHB p. 140].
• Traits: I’m haunted by memories of war. I can’t get the images of violence out of my mind. I’ve lost too many friends, and I’m slow to make new ones.
• Ideal: Independence. When people follow orders blindly, they embrace a kind of tyranny. (Chaotic)
• Bond: Everything I do is for the common people. I will someday get revenge on the corrupt political hierarchy who stole my sons.
• Flaw: I am suspicious of strangers and expect the worst of them. I judge others harshly, and myself even more severely.

Alignment: Chaotic Good.

Proficiencies & Languages
• Proficiency Bonus: +2
• Armor: light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, shields
• Weapons: simple weapons, martial weapons
• Tools: gaming set (dice set), vehicles (land craft)
• Saving Throws: Wisdom, Charisma
• Skills: Athletics, Intimidation, Persuasion, Religion
• Languages: Common, Celestial

For Uncommon Magic Items: Adamantine Armor DMG; Amulet of the Devout; or maybe Lantern of Revealing DMG.

Writing sample.

Ok, so 1 day left. Wow, what a ride this application period has been! Lots of great apps, and even better people. Wow!

Anyhow, I want to explain how things are going to work once the group is selected. I'm sure some of this will be boring and already known, but if I can get it out and said, then there will be nothing surprising to anyone. Hopefully.

Tomorrow at some point, I'm going to select the final group that gets to traipse through some hot and humid jungle interior and, hopefully, write their names in the annals of Greyhawk history. I will be very clear as to who got selected, posting that group here, and then I will place a link here to the game forum itself. In the game forum, there will be a thread for people to post their characters, and another thread to roll the applicable dice to finish the character creation process (attributes, hit points, if you want a trinket, etc.). In the Out of Character thread - which I will use to repeat all of this so it doesn't get lost - we will have a discussion about anything you need to ask about creating your characters (can I re-roll the attributes, is this magic item ok for use, we have a lot of overlap in abilities so can we change things around, etc.). That last part there I really want the group to discuss; I want the game to be fun and the group cohesive and, while overlap can and will happen, everyone should be unique enough to take the spotlight once in a while.

Parallel to all of that happening, I will put up the first post of the game some time over the weekend. This does not mean you have to finish your characters by Saturday morning! I feel that sometimes it takes a post or two for someone to get into character, and then they realize "Man, I should have gone this other way with this skill". Doing this gives everyone the chance to feel their characters out, as well as identify things that they didn't originally think of when putting their characters together. You can absolutely post in the game thread all you want as the game will be underway...but you won't be able to roll anything or do any skill checks until you finish your character. Again, this is a chance to RP your personality before you let the mechanics get in the way.

I am very sure I will forget something. Heck, I can guarantee that it will happen. I'm human, and I'm bound to make mistakes. Which is why I'll post all of this in the Out of Character thread in the game forum so that it doesn't get lost! But, if you find I fouled up, by all means let me know! I may be running this game, but the game as a whole is ours in that we are collectively telling a story. I hope!

Anyhow, here's to tomorrow! I can't wait to see what the final group looks like, nor can I hardly wait to play this game with those who are chosen!
