@Binford. Sorry, I was reviewing my application (Khat) and I realized that I had lost the ending to the backstory. Adjusted the application.

I'm hardly new to RPGX or roleplaying but I still wanted to try my hand at an All-Class group. And hopefully help out newer players if possible. Also I came up with a fun character concept that would work great with a partner!

PART ONE: Character Details
Name: Thia Siannodel (Stage name is Thiana Felosiene) Age: 138 Race: High Elf Subclass: Thief Birthplace/Country of Origin: A forest located near Valenar Mechanical Background: Entertainer Starting Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Physical Appearance (including any defining feature or Dragonmark): Thia has striking black hair, that contrasts against her very pale skin. Her eyes are a very light blue with specks of gold in them. She is wearing a hooded cloak that she crafted herself with some black clothing underneath, so that she can be as stealthy as possible. Appearance Paragraph: Thia is definitely not the most intimidating rogue... she hasn't had much experience in crime! With her soft eyes and calm demeanor, if you saw her on the street you probably wouldn't know she was a thief by night. She wears an all black outfit with an accompanied home made hooded cloak. Her performer outfit is even less intimidating... with her bright red and blue jester pantsuit, and an accompanied jester hat, she's always ready to crack a joke, even if it's an insulting one. She is not the most generic looking jester, with her defining looks such as her dark black hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin. PART TWO: Character Traits You are more than welcome to use the information published with each mechanical background (PHB/Eberron) to complete this section; conversely, you're free to come up with your own characteristics. Personality Quirk(s): I love a good insult, even one directed at me. Ideal(s): The world is in need of new ideas and bold action. Character Bonds (including Dragonmarked House involvement): I want to be famous, whatever it takes. Flaw(s): A scandal prevents me from ever going home again. That kind of trouble seems to follow me around Personality Paragraph(s): Thia used to be a lot different than she is right now. When she was still a kid, she was a happy go lucky child, full of joy and warmth. Thia always loved jokes, and she often made pretty crude ones, even to her parents! Ever since her mother gave her a flute for her 54th birthday, Thia knew it was finally time to take the world by storm and become famous! She always wanted to be famous, and playing her flute would be the perfect way to do it. Everyday she would travel to the neighboring city of Valenar and preform a flute act for the public. When that didn't give her much attention, she started doing a jester act that went along with it. Her bold ideas and often got the attention of the public, and after she became a jester, the city of Valenar came to know her by her stage name, Thiana Felosiene. One day was all it took to change her eventful life once again. When Thia's parents tried to make her court the House Phiarlan heir, she immediately said no. But her parents did not take no for an answer. She decided to take matters into her own hands and run away from home, hoping to never be seen again. She ran away to Sharn, hitching rides on wagons and other travelers whenever she could, and since this day, she became a lot more cold, and lost a lot of the joy she had. She learned how to toughen herself up, and how to easily deceive and intimidate people. She also decided stealing from people along with her jester/flute act, because a girl has to get a living. And with a city as populated as Sharn, you're lucky if there's any job openings available anywhere. That's how Thia changed from a sweet little unforgettable thing, to a sinister little unforgettable thief... PART THREE: Character Backstory: Thia Siannodel, also known as her stage name Thiana Felosiene, had what you can say a troubling past… she was an only child where her parents sheltered her for the most part in their little lodge in the forest. Thia has always been an adventurer, and has always tried to explore the forest she grew up in. With her darkvision and perceptiveness, this made it very easy. She was also trained in elven weaponry like normal elves, and her parents even went the extra mile (since they were high elves) and taught her a cantrip (Fire Bolt). She was even taught the Sylvan language as well! On her 54th birthday, things changed however when her mom gave her a flute. She immediately fell in love with it and practiced it everyday, eventually mastering it. After, her parents agreed to let her perform outside of the house in the nearby city of Valenar. Using the name Thiana, she thought it would just be a stage name to add flair to her actual name. She performed flute performances and she even had jester performances from time to time. She had a very easy time making people laugh. She would often use lots of crude jokes in her performances, even if viewers were insulted by it. She was bold and let you know what she thought, even if it hurts your feelings. Eventually, the peace and fun in her life came to a crashing halt. One late night after a successful jester show, her parents sat her down for a talk. They said that the son of the Phiarlan House was searching for a bride, and her parents wanted her to try start courting him. She immediately said there was no way she would do it, but her parents said it wasn’t a choice. She then decided to craft an outfit that was perfect for stealth, fit with a hooded cloak and black light armor, and she packed everything else she may need on her journey. On the night she was debating to leave, she pleaded with her parents to not make her do this, and they wouldn’t back down. Immediately after they fell asleep, Thia walked out… and became a different person overnight. Of course, she was still the wisecracking Thia, but she matured very fast, and she became meaner too. She was good at deceiving people (especially her parents) and intimidating them. She also taught herself how to use thieves’ tools. Eventually, she was so skilled that she could get away with murder, and that’s basically what she did. One night she went to the Last Resort so that she could maybe meet some new people to steal from, and have some fun while she's at it. When she went in she decided to comply with the no weapons rule, just to see what would happen, and she sat down at the bar and actually ended up having a great time. Ever since that night, The Last Resort has become like her home, and most of the people there are here family now. She rarely goes by Thiana anymore, and instead became the star by day, thief by night. Her parents are long gone, but can this jack of all trades get away with her biggest deception yet? Or will she find some other trouble to cause (that she will eventually have to fix…) P.S. I've never done an Eberron campaign before, and I'm also relatively new to D&D in general! I hope this is good and if there's anything I can revise/edit let me know and I will happily do so! Last edited by dramaking22; Feb 14th, 2020 at 11:20 AM. |

Alright, I think my app is complete! I'll probably tweak his backstory in the coming week but for now I feel I've got everything major hammered out.

Cheers, Folks. For those interested, I've included some application feedback under secret tags in the post below. I really appreciate everyone's efforts and creativity. Thank you so much for applying to the game!
To be fair, I'm not looking for/obligating any of you to edit or go crazy adding things to your wonderful applications. If I asked a question or had a concern, you can just place your ideas or answers under secret or spoiler tags, send them directly to me, or approach the answers in any other way you see fit (even if you choose to ignore me). I'm interested in what you have to say, but I know that applications can be a lot, and I don't want you to feel pressured into having to re-do or re-write or re-configure your ideas before we've even started the game. If I missed you and you want feedback, please let me know! As always, I'm here to answer questions (etc.).

If anyone's interested, I added some tidbits about the LA Leadership, or supposed leadership, as the case may be. It may help some of you with your guild connection--or not. I just had fun writing it.
