Backstory

Sen was born to a single parent, deep within the lands of the Tembloran Coalition. Her mother, Ruuga, was an Orc, and her departed father - as far as her mother had explained - was too. Except, he was different. He was weretouched. This, fortunately, had little effect on Sen's young life. Growing up in a small town in the Tembloran lands was a treacherous feat enough in itself. From wandering groups of tribalistic bandits, to lumbering creatures born of the surrounding swamps, everyone fought for their lives at some point.

Especially Sen.

Despite her mother's cautions, Sen was an overly-explorative spirit. She was always itching to go out into the treacherous swamp lands, or wherever she could set her eyes upon, and see what she could face. This led to many encounters with creatures and dangers that a single person would have little hope of overcoming -- but Sen was resourceful. She'd, somehow, always manage to escape - even if battered.

But a adventurous soul was not always for the best. On one of her many fledgling-journeys, she narrowly escaped her pursuer, proud of the skills she had acquired over the years. But escape is not what she did. In truth, she only managed to lead the wicked creature back to her village, where its true strength was realized.

It ravaged the town entirely, and in the chaos, Sen's mother was slain.

It took years for Sen to come to terms with the death of her mother, and even still she is haunted by it. But there is no use in simply sulking. She wanted to make sure something like that wouldn't happen to innocent people any longer. So, she joined the Red Wraiths.

Da sheet

I also must admit that I can't get over how good Benzaiten's sheet layout is, compared to mine. I'm considering swapping to such a format as well, because mine is a mess ^^'

Yeye, you got it :P

Making sure I am interpreting the initial info dump correctly, our characters would be part of the Red Wraiths. That group is also a bit of a mercenary group as well yes?

@Lurking Krog

Yes, we will be part of the Red Wraiths.
They're somewhat similar to a mercenary group, I suppose, in that they're a non-militarized group of "fighters" that doesn't really owe loyalty to any specific person/group. And they dont specifically aid people for money, though some within the Red Wraiths may. They aren't strictly directed so some people would probably take advantage of the position. But ye, you interpret correctly :P

You can allocate your rolls to any stat, @XxFellsingxX.

Considering @Benzaiten is the one who got my gears turning for the whole project, I shall be accepting their sheet with a measure of expediency, once the IC is up. That leaves up to 6 player slots :)

Also, as a small ammendment to the rules: I just noticed that the Aarakocra was rebalanced in Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. As such, I will be removing my House rule referencing their flying speed, it now being redundant.

Oooh, I'm very much interested in this. Though admittedly, you did say "new players to DnD" and I don't know if I count as "new" anymore as I've been in a couple already xP

@XxFellsingxX

No worries! You don't have to be new, it's just a newb-friendly interest check. You are welcome to apply ^^

Perils of Xepreath

Xepreath, Realm of Man

Xepreath is a relatively young planet. And in its youth, it is an unharnessed land, possessesing a vast, unbridled well of magic. Said magic can be held accountable for the creation of man itself, and all their ilk. It is said that Xepreath's magic is so great that even the gods, and beings of similar power, were drawn to the planet from far and wide. Yet, what may appear to be a blessing is not always so. Alongside such raw power comes a seemingly ungovernable arcane chaos. Said chaos has been the plight of man since its inception. And the only reason they have managed to survive thusfar is due to the natural ebb and flow of such energies - the lulls in the magical fluxes during which they can recover. But the lulls seem to be.. shortening. The fluxes are changing - increasing in power. Among many things, these fluxes are tearing at the borders that seperate one plane from another - causing other planes to seep into ours and vice-versa. Rifts are opening. Things are warping, changing. Over the last two decades, this has become the worry of every nation of Xepreath: What will become of us if this isn't held at bay?

Nations

Lonthinn Empire - The most industrially-progressed and militarily-structured nation of Xepreath. Holds negative views on the other nations and is pretty much hostile to them, at least in unofficial capacities. Heavily-forested, temperate lands.
Xernoa - A sizable but mostly barren land, with patches of prairies. Mostly reclusive, but holds a strong governmental face.
Allyanik - A partially-untamed scape of land with colder northern territory, and warmer southern territory. Has solid military presence despite non-ideal geographical circumstances.
Scithia - A region wartorn by the magical fluxes of Xepreath. Its governmental and societal structures are very weak, and the northern portions of the nation are flooded with beasts from the magical rifts of the Mallaene Mountains. The region is rain-forested to the north, and tropical to the south, and the region's heavy rains rarely cease.
Tembloran Coalition - A swampy and unconquerable landscape, the land of the Tembloran Coalition - which takes in refugees of societal prejudice - is largely unapproachable. It is headed by ousted races like Lizardfolk, Thri-keen, and Goblinoids - but the large continent-island to the east is held tightly by the more fey-aligned peoples.

Pantheon

Lehtal - An ancient and, simply, unresponsive god. Most of the Lonthinn Empire worships this Deity. Domains are Faith and Obedience. Lawful Good.
Runaish - A wise but young-in-soul god that holds a loose sense of benevolence. Founder of The Red Wraiths. Presiding over the Domain of Balance. Chaotic Good.
Algonne - A, fittingly, chaotic and care-free god-creature of unknown origin. Widely disliked by those of Xepreath, and even the other gods. Domain is Chaos. Chaotic Evil.

More TBD by us!

Our role

Some years ago, the nations, aside from the Lonthinn Empire, embraced a group of brave wanderers who appeared from seemingly nowhere and called themselves 'The Red Wraiths'. In truth, The Red Wraiths were simple followers of Runaish. In Runaish's desire to stifle the imbalance of Xepreath, he sought to reach out to some of those who would listen - and grant some of them his blessings.

But over time, the Red Wraiths were diluted, in a sense. No longer are they all reverers of Runaish - although many of them are, considering his benevolent nature - they are now partly just travelers of capability. The nations promote the Red Wraiths as the glue that strains to hold Xepreath together - and in a sense, they are right. The nations of Xepreath would surely be in a worse place without them.

The Red Wraiths have one job, but it's one very important job: Stem the wounds which are opened by Xepreath's chaotic magical spills, providing reprieve to anyone they can. They serve as a form of reserve-force, scattered about the world of Xepreath, ready to act at a moment's notice.

We stand among the Red Wraiths. We are one of a couple dozen squads amongst their numbers, and whether we joined due to a calling from Runaish, or because we just wanted to help, or because we owe a debt to specific people, we're here. And we answer the Red Wraith's call.

Hello there, my friends!

Welcome to what I hope will become a great collaborative masterpiece that tells a tale of a group of fuckos who actually managed to do something good despite all the bullshit that they got themselves into.

I've been wanting to scrape up enough inspiration to do something of a DnD game of my own making, and it seems here I am! Except, I don't want it to just be my own. That can be a bit boring sometimes, don't you think? So, I'm bringing it out in the open so I can make something great with a few others, hopefully. Let's build this world up together!

I'm looking for about 5-8 players, including myself, for this RP - and it is an RP. I often feel that tabletop projects on the guild are less rp and more action-y, but I like a healthy mix of both, as the tags and theming might suggest. I'm keeping the information very simple to start out - mostly because I am welcoming new players to DnD, of which I have one interested already. Your ability to RP and write are much more important than your leet dnd skillz.

But uhh, yeah, I don't want to ramble too long or give a big textwall, so here is me checking for interest!
Below I'll include some rules and a sheet, simply to weed out those who may not like the style. So, let's see who's in, shall we?

RP Rules

Standard guild rules. Don't be a prick :P
GM word is final, of course, but that does not mean rulings are not to be questioned. I'll let you know when discussion is closed<3
You don't have to use my sheet(the coding is kinda a mess), but you must include all the info on it.

DnD Rules

^{This will probably be a jumbled list in no particular order.}
House rules/Custom rules

• Wizards of the Coast™ official content only, unless otherwise specified. I can be persuaded if it isn't absurd.
• In character creation you can either take your classes' recommended equipment, or start with 50gp and purchase gear yourself.
• More TBD

Other rules

• Our characters start at level 3.
• For rolling, we do 4d6-minus-lowest. You can retry for a different array once. If you have questions, ask. Roll using the site's rolling system, link the rolls.
• Racial bonuses go to any ability score you want, as per Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
• More TBD.

@Vertigo
Haha, yeahhh, we got some beefcakes. And Srisza being the only caster would be quite a responsibility for a Cleric, lol.
