[D&D-5e] Roll Your Own Adventurer 3: Season of the Die

[Sarsprilla]

I believe my application is complete now gl everyone

[Framm18]

I believe I am done for the most part?

Good luck to all.

[Arachobia]

"Oh, I have an extra day to apply/finish my app?"

Yes. Thank TiesKnots as voting for starting on the 20th made the average of starting dates a little higher so know it's due by the 18th.

So y'all got an extra day. If more people vote for later dates - that'll increase.

Now the table should be correctly updated. Everyone's name should link to the most relevant, up-to-date part of their app (some people did their app in the dice roll thread)

If you update anything or change your votes or anything, let me know so I can update on my side.

[KevinB]

Removing my application - good luck everyone!

[Arachobia]

Hey folks. At this point, you have about a day to finish your applications off and make your final votes. Anyone who has not voted for a due date yet, not applied or just want more time can give a later starting date in their app, or change their application date.

Remember, you can vote for incomplete applications.

Assuming the date doesn't change, see y'all tomorrow for tallying the votes

[Azure Nokori]

Wooooo. Excited!

[Feldring]

Made my final applicant vote and updated my vote for start date to May 20 due to something popping up for me tomorrow.

Very excited to see how things fall out. Good luck, everybody!

[Arachobia]

Ok, I've got the final votes. Thanks to everyone who applied.

Sarsprilla's Terianna Bladewing and Shaede's Vors dominated the vote - with 5 votes each.

Azure Nokori's T'nishna and Silent Rain's Seven were a close second - with 4 votes each.

That is four characters, so I could just start with them. But I feel that with 3 votes each Aenix's Koruk and Feldring's Charmaine deserve to both get in.

Congrats to those who got those votes - and thank you to everyone who applied.

Game thread is here

[Framm18]

Congrats and have fun everyone.

Gratz everyone!

Looking for Replacement Characters for the Second Game

Hey all.

My original Roll Your Own Adventurer sequel is still going - but we did lose a character and it's possible we might end up with a TPK in this adventure.

Either way, I've decided to look for 2 players to join that group.

If you applied for this season but didn't get in, you can use the same application (just let me know)

If not, simply follow the steps to rolling up a character listed in the opening post of this forum.

You don't have to vote for players or choose a starting date however.

I'm interested, will probably roll with Morek again. If allowed I might try my luck at one more set of rolls for stats and try to edit his personality and traits some more.

Sounds good to me

[Framm18]

Morek Name: Morek Race: Bugbear Class: Paladin (Oath of Ancients) Background: Stojanow Prisoner Bonds: I am searching for past memories, that have long faded into shadows. Ideals: I protect those that can't protect themselves, and bring justice to those that prey on the weak. Flaws: I am distrustful of Humans at first due to past experiences. Traits: I stand up for those that are unable to do so for themselves. Appearance:Morek would be considered huge even for a Bugbear, standing a touch under 8’ tall, dressed in chain mail and a dark green cloak covering his frame. His Yellow fur is marred on his face and hands with dark red spots that appear to have permanently been stained into his skin, along with scars long faded covering his body. Personality: Growing up Morek was a typical Bugbear, brash and ready to fight anything that moved and even some that didn’t. He did his best to show off his growing height and strength at a young age, leading him to make brash judgements and ill advised actions, that lead to his imprisonment. After the events with the abuse at the Prison and the Necromantic Wizard, he is distrusting of Humans at first until he gets to know them better. His demeanor is fairly jolly and outgoing, only showing his races typically aggression and ferocity when the situation calls for it. Backstory:   Being the youngest of three, he grew up he idolizing his older step-siblings. They had joined in raiding parties and always bragged about the treasures they gathered during their exploits, leading Morek to grow up impatiently, eager to prove himself when he become of age. As he grew it was clear that he was going to be big even for a typical Bugbear. Morek learned the way of espionage from both of his parents, as he grew there were fears that he might be too large to be a proper spy, but he was eager to show that he could do what his parents could do. On his 16th birthday, he was assigned a mission to prove himself in a rite of passage. He was assigned a task to take inventory of a nearby human settlement to see if it was worthy of a raid. As he went around the outskirts of the town at the evening, he found a rival tribe also scouting out the town, Morek’s ego not letting him ignore the rival, he went to run off the other spy. As he started to fight his enemy they alerted the town guard forcing them to fight as a team to defend against the horde gathering around them. Just as they were able to find an escape route the rival stabbed Morek in the thigh allowing him to escape and Morek to wind up in the dungeon. After spending several years in the town dungeon, left to rot except for the daily whippings and general abuse at the hands of the jailors. Morek was broken, both physically and mentally, he fell asleep waiting for his death to come. As he was dreaming, an Elf that appeared to have lived longer than even the oldest Elf appeared to him. “It is not your time, young one. You are still needed to help in the time to come. Do not despair, you will become great in your own time.” As the ancient elf faded, Morek woke up to find his cell room to be opened up and no one around to stop him from escaping his imprisonment. After he escaped, he went back to his tribal camp, only to find that it had been burned down and abandoned. He found his the location of his old home and found a few of his belongings, before traveling south to the swamps, after traveling for what felt like ages, he finally found a village that was willing to take him in. After working as a farmer and town guard for a while, the Crimson Plague swept through the village, taking many lives and nearly wiping out the working force of those that did survive. During his sickness the disease stained Morek’s hands and a portion of his face a deep crimson red, as he fell asleep he was once again visited by another ancient being calling him to the city of Maladicht to find a cure for the disease. As a result of the Crimson Plague, memories from his earlier life growing up has faded, outside of two figures that stand in the shadows of his mind. He traveled wearily on his way to his new destination, he ran across multiple towns and villages that ran him off, for being infected and ill. As he came close to his location, he ran afoul of a Wizard that was taking in the sick and wounded, promising healing and recovery from all of their problems. As he went into the Wizard’s lair, he noticed a cold dread looming around the room. Morek was lead to the backroom and laid down wrapped in damp heavy clothing that produced a drowsy effect in the young Bugbear’s body. During the middle of the night, something startled Morek awake and he went down the hall to discover the source. Stumbling onto the Wizard practicing his dark arts on some unlucky few, they were raised as undead, as much as he wanted to help, his body was pushed out the lair, knowing he was in no position to help in his state. Unfortunately due to the fever and illness, his escape was not a stealthy one and he was pursued late into the night. Morek eventually was able to escape the Wizard and his cult as he made his way into the city of Maladicht. Upon reaching the city, the Temple of the Old gods, took the Bugbear in to heal him and make them one of their warriors in carrying on the old traditions and defending the city from what harm might befall them.

• Character Name - Talon
• Race - Aarakocra
• Class - Mystic (Nomad)
• Background - Cloistered Scholar
• Appearance - A picture is useful, but you should still give a description, preferably one I can copy and paste when introducing your character
• Personality - It helps if you elaborate on how parts of your backstory reflect on your character's attitude today
• Character Background Story - Talon's tribe was destroyed by a green dragon. A pair of giant eagles saved the youngster and raised him as their own. Until he had matured Talon did not know he had an older brother that survived by becoming the dragon's henchman. Upon their first meeting Talon's brother Errk robbed him to add to the dragon's hoard. Talon swore vengeance against his brother and the dragon for the destruction of his tribe. He left the giant eagle pair to track down his foes. The green dragon assumed that Errk had betrayed him and so the two brothers had to join forces. The fight of course did not go well for the two. Talon barely made it. The experience left its scars, both physical and mental, but the young aarakocra has found ways to compensate... As to Errk, Talon knows not what became of him. Talon was taken in by a library and became a cloistered scholar. Upon practicing the arts he found in a very old tome his psionic abilities awakened. Talon has again decided to find his foes, but this time he'd find allies first.
