Done with my app. Wanted to wait until you replied in PM, but I wanted to get this done. I have more time in making characters on the weekends than I do during the week and with one week left, well. I didn't want to wait and rush. Hope the app is ok.

DeathStrike Name: Hellion DeathStrike Race: Shadar-kai Class:Fighter/ Eldritch Necro Knight.( multi class.) Background: Soldier Alignment: Ng Personality: Can and will stare down a demon with out flinching. He hides what there is of his emotions, but he has them. Break through to them and your either a enemy, or a friend for life. Ideals: I serve as a guardian to all who need it. I do not drink alcohol smoke or use drugs I'll die first and take many with me. Bonds: Honor is my life. I defend the weak and those I care for. Stand beside me in doing so and I'll die to protect you too. Flaws: I'll never admit when I'm wrong. I have no mercy for my enemies I'll kill them all.... Backstory: Hellion was born in shadow. In a place with no name. His mother couldn't take both the pain of shadow and of child birth and died. His father had rosen to top necro mage. And was therefore the leader. Until a nother out does his power. So as not to appear weak to the others he has elected to wait to resurrect his wife. It is the Shadar-kai way to remain emotionless. Hellion as with every Shadar-kai will not receive his adult name until he comes of age. ( 100) He has until then to make his inner self known. Here most lean towards magic, darker magic, Necro magic. Hellion has a natural talent for the arcane. But that isn't as natural to him as the sword. Shadar-kai have warriors and battle mages but none like Hellion. Most Shadar-kai fighters use a chain weapon. He prefers 2 swords. Most Shadar-kai battle mages use eldritch magic to attack along with their weapon. But Hellion combines necro magic with eldritch magic. It is apparent he will be both fighter and necromancer from a early age. Hellion trained hard but unlike his fellow Shadar-kai. He does not revel in causing the pain of others.( Unless those others are evil). Hellion stands as a protector more than just his clan, but in his heart others as well. All Shadar-kai feel great pain from living in the plane of shadow. But weather it is lesser or Hellion is better at hiding it, others notice. As he grows older the clan seeks to make him War manger. Not just a leader but one who is forever to rule with an iron fist, with out mercy. And toy with the dead. Becoming the most evil among them. His father does not want this. He knows Hellions true heart. And so make a a plan. When a Shadar-kai comes of age the shadow plane takes hold fully. And the pain becomes forever. To counter this the clan sends all who come of age to the normal realm. To wander for years( 100 if they survive, or don't come back sooner.) They travel like this using a shadow stone. Hellion's skills with blade and magic earn him the name DeathStrike. Because no matter what strikes you blade or magic you die. This also means he has come of age. And so must journey for years in the normal plane. His father rushed him to a secret chamber. " Son they wish to keep you here. Make you A WarMancer. Allow the shadow to take you fully. I have sacrificed my love for this clan I will not sacrifice my son.", He tells DeathStrike. Who has never herd one good thing from his father.( So he too hides his love and emotions) thinks DeathStrike. " You must take this gear and this shadow stone and go NOW from here! When you are on the normal plane crush the shadow stone and never return. Go now be the protector you with to be. Take my tome.You will learn great magic to aid your blades." His father ordered and left. Hellion DeathStrike froze a moment never return.... That was hard, but then the pain came as the shadow came to take him. And poof DeathStrike was gone from the plane of shadow forever. As his father had told him he used 2 big rocks and crushed the stone. Now unless he were to find a shadow stone here he can never go home. He traveled a bit until he ran into some people who chased him. Be it his race or a fear of strangers he did not know. In the shadow realm he could teleport away. But not here. He ran and couldn't teleport as he tried then he stepped into the shadow of a boulder and poof he was gone. The people unable to see him left. He hadn't vanished no he shadow stepped out a shadow of a tree 30ft away. ( So here the light hinders my teleportation. but in shadow to shadow I can. This also took more out of him than in shadow realm. He soon found out he could only shadowstep a certain number of times a day. He eventually found a friendlier town and stoped a goblin attack. This got him work guarding caravans. Where he made friends. This last caravan is heading to Lut Gholein. DeathStrike has been here 18 years now.

Berserkers get Intimidating Presence to intimidate fear in a target at 10th level. But intimidation can be used as an action to cause an opponent to back down. It would depend on the situation and the rolls. Makes for some good RP.

Ok I was thinking of possibly multiclassing undead warlock for this but it can wait for now.

Hey all I think my app is done read at leisure and pm me if you want to be one of the chs friends.

[Paerniel]

I really like what I see in the applications so far. Looks like we got a good group coming together.

I'd like to post what I told BlackDragon0 in a PM. I realize that your character sheets aren't entirely fleshed out, but that will come in time. I like to do a quick "Session 0" thread where players can finalize character sheets, ask last minute questions about lore, and form some acquaintances before the game actually begins. So, don't feel pressured that you have to have everything done by Sunday. At this point, I'm more interested in character concepts than anything.

Thanks to all who have applied so far. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Sorceress Name: Lady Silk Race: Elf Class: Sorcerer (Cryomancer) Alignment: Lawful Neutral Backstory: So, you know yourself inside and out eh? Lucky you, I'm so glad. I don't even know my name, so I go by Lady Silk. I have my reasons why I chose that name, butt out. Perhaps one day, I'll let that story slip, until then, I'll hold on to my secrets. I can tell you I was raised near Tristram, but nobody knew where I came from or where my family originated. They just knew they were different, alien almost. And they just left me, so an elderly farmer and his wife raised me until they were ripped apart by the dead. I remember the dead rising and a feeling of evil on the wind. A caravan spirited me away and Tristram fell to evil. My sorcerous powers awoke soon after and I learned I had an affinity for the cold, icy power of frost. I reveled in my newfound powers and practiced at night while everyone was asleep. Now I feel a pull toward Lut Gholein that I can't explain. It's just there, a sorcerous pull that I must obey. Curious, no? Personality Traits: Silk is imperious and haughty but that's merely a cover for her vast insecurities she keeps buried inside. She's like a cat in a many ways, bored, lazy and prone to sleeping and enjoying any creature comforts she can find. Her skin is always icy and so is her tone, and if it turns playful, expect trouble. She isn't chaotic or prone to fits of emotional outburst. Silk is calculating and pragmatic, but she can be childish and has a capriciousness that goes against her nature. Such is the way of mortals. While not especially intelligent given her lack of education nor wise, she has a powerful personality and a cunning she uses to her advantage. Motivations: She doesn't know why she needs to get to Lut Gholein, only that there is a pull like gravity coming from her gut that says she needs to get there. And Silk always trusts her gut. There is something there, destiny maybe that pulls her forward. Background: Far Traveler Ideal: Power, Silk seeks power to elevate her above the common rabble she sees around her on the daily. A palace or great tower of magic would suffice. Bond: Silk will do anything to raise herself from poverty and obscurity. With in reason... Flaw: Silk is deeply insecure given she has no "real" name or knowledge of her parents or race. She has no formal education and the old couple that raised her were superstitious and simple, but she did love them in her own way. Silk is condescending and vain in the extreme, but neither cruel nor hateful. Physical Traits: Alabaster skin that is cold to the touch. Ruby lips with almond eyes and violet colored eyes. Her nails are painted black and she prefers a black cloak and a dark blue dress. She has a slight build and stands just shy of five foot three. Her hair is long, black and often smells like vanilla laced with an earthy smell like oak or elm. Sometimes flakes of snow appear in her hair or on her shoulders. It melts quickly in the heat of the desert.

[Jrod]

As much as I love this one, I’m going to withdraw. Good luck everyone.

I am interested in doing a necromancer, will they start with armor prof/martial weapon prof like the game or would I need to dip a level of fighter or something to get those?

We will be using 5e rules, which doesn't grant additional armor or weapon proficiencies to the wizard class. So, if you want an armored, sword-bearing necromancer, you will need to take a level of fighter (or similar) or take the appropriate feats as you level.

My app is finished.

Shocking! Name: Atlani Race: Human Class: Sorceress Sub-Class: Electromancer Background: Far Traveler Alignment: Neutral Good Trait: I have different assumptions from those around me concerning personal space, blithely invading others' space in innocence. Trait: I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won't save you from a hungry thorned hulk. Ideal: The natural world is more important than all the constructs of civilization. Bond: I will bring terrible wrath down on the evildoers who destroyed my homeland. Flaw: I have a weakness for the new intoxicants and other pleasures of this land. Background: Atlani hails from the distant jungles of Khajistan, a once beautiful jungle until the corruption of Mephisto warped the jungle, gave rise to ancient horrors, and caused the jungle itself to aggressively swallow what civilization had managed to grow and thrive among the trees. Atlani was from one of these villages forced to flee when the jungle began to overgrow their land and terrible beasts began to rise from the encroaching darkness. No place seemed to be safe, and Atlani lost her family along the exodus until finally making her way to the relative safe haven of Kurast, the one place in the jungle that had managed to hold back the ever-reaching corruption. It was there that the sorcerer Ormus took notice of her, realizing that she had great magical potential within her. Not wanting to take the chance that the corrupting influence of Mephisto could reach and corrupt her, he took to training the girl himself. She was strong with the magic of the storms that frequented the jungle, and the lightning itself seemed to dance according to her whim. She grew into a capable sorceress under the tutelage of Ormus but the incessant whispers of the corrupted jungle seemed to addle Ormus's mind. In time the wards protecting Kurast would begin to weaken and the ever-present jungle and corruption it brought would press upon the town. It was then that Ormus decided something drastic needed to be done, and that help would be needed. He sent Atlani to the distant town of Tristram to find the help of powerful people that she could bring back to Kurast with her in hopes of stopping the corruption and cleansing the cause of it all.
