[LFP][D&D5e] Lost Mine of Phandelver -segue into- Out Of The Abyss (Needing 3 Long-Term Players){Bi-Weekly On Thursdays 9pm - 12am CST}

Hey Roll20! I'm looking for 3 dedicated players who are ready and able to commit to a long term campaign of Lost Mine of Phandelver, and then transitioning into Out of The Abyss. This entire campaign will take you from levels 1 to 17-18. Then, we'll finish it out with One-Shots tied into the story to max out the characters at level 20! (I DO ASK THAT YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED EITHER MODULES BEFORE, TO AVOID META-GAMING) Why are the games played on a bi-weekly schedule?   - Since I put so much effort into these sessions, I'll be running these sessions on a bi-weekly schedule so as to give myself a decent break in between so that I can prep and no get the deadly DM Burnout. What kind of DM are you? - Well, I like to play things out with a mix of "the rule of cool" and "realism." If it's not too outlandish, and the group enjoys it, I'll roll with it. I also like to immerse my players into the world with Ambient Music, Fight Music, and as many accents and voices that I can muster. I've been playing D&D for 2-3 years now, so I may still mess some things up, but I'll make sure to correct them if they affect the game negatively. Are there any restrictions on classes, races, etc? - I will be allowing PHB and Volo's. If you would like to use anything outside of those books, send me the link to it, and I'll make a decision on a case-by-case basis.   How could I apply to play in this campaign? - All you have to do is fill out this application and I'll interview you and see if you'll be a good fit for the group.

Name: Chris Age: 26 Discord Tag: You're Not My Supervisor#4316 Character Name: Siveus Capelle Character Class: Sorcerer(wild magic) Character Race: Half-Elf Brief Backstory: As a child Siveus caused his family to be cast away from their small town due to his lack of control of his arcane power.

Name(Or what you prefer to be called OOC): Marti Age (18+) : 41&nbsp; Discord Tag:&nbsp;Blackwell#8236 Character Name: Villain Character Class: Warlock Character Race:Tiefling Brief Character Backstory: Villain was betrayed by his best friend Marius, who murdered the love of his life and attempted to use Villain's blood in a ritual to summon a powerful devil. The ritual went awry, and the essence of a devil was fused with Villain's own, giving him his warlock powers. However, Marius managed to convince many that Villain is an escaped Devil, and now an order of paladin's called the Silver Eye hunts him relentlessly.

Name(Or what you prefer to be called OOC): Bri Age (18+) : 19 Discord Tag: Junksnack#1679 Character Name: (2 ideas depending on what fits the party) Emel or Fens Character Class: Emel as a tiefling bard and Fens as a half elf barbarian Character Race: Brief Character Backstory: Fens grew up with druids though she had little magical abilities. She eventually connected with a spiritual animal, a totem spirit, and found her way in more physical endeavors. She now travels to satisfy a wanderlust and anger that she's had since she found her totem spirit. Emel quickly found that she would always be met with suspicion and hatred as a tiefling. Trying to counteract that, she uses her charm and her musical abilities to soften people up and make her way in the world. Though she loves her home and village, she set off to see the wonders of the world and maybe spread more goodwill towards tieflings.&nbsp; Additional Question(s): nope :)

Name(Or what you prefer to be called OOC): Kayla. Age (18+) : 21. Discord Tag: synth#6095 Character Name: Beldani Haerling Character Class: Warlock Character Race: Tiefling Brief Character Backstory: Beldani was born into a long line of Baalzebul worshipers.&nbsp;While the fiendish aspects of her appearance might have made her an outcast elsewhere, within her family she was revered and placed on a pedestal for her features. It was believed that as a tiefling, she was 'special' and 'closer' to Baalzebul. Equipped with the inflated ego and sense of importance that such an upbringing has given her, Beldani has pledged her patronage not to the archdevil that her family has worshiped for generations but to Asmodeus, Lord of the Ninth. She lacks the same cult-like fanaticism of her family and in fact has little interest in the affairs of the Nine Hells at all. She made a pact with Asmodeus purely as a bid for more power. Additional Question(s): N/A Totally willing to come up with a different concept if party composition calls for it!

Name(Or what you prefer to be called OOC): Blaine Age (18+) : 27 Discord Tag: BlaineW#0550 Character Name: Thom Shortwick Character Class: Cleric of the Life Domain Character Race: Halfling (Lightfoot) Brief Character Backstory: Thom grew up on a large farmstead owned and operated by his father and two older brothers. His mother died giving birth to him, and while there were certainly other reasons he felt ostracized as a child--his fascination with books and scrolls over farming tools, for instance--Thom had always felt that there was some part of each of his family members that blamed him for her loss. He grew up the black sheep of the family, preferring to keep to himself and learn as much as he could about...well, everything. He discovered early on that he had a hunger for knowledge of all kinds--be it cultures, languages, or gods. He devoured everything he could find with pages, and eventually his thirst brought him to the local temple of Yondalla. There, he met the town's high cleric, who showed a patience and gentle amusement for Thom's curiosity that he'd never experienced before. The cleric offered to take Thom on as her apprentice, and he soon transitioned to living within the temple and serving full time, despite his father’s protests. It was an easy, carefree existence filled with reading, writing, and deep conversation with the other initiates. Then the unthinkable occured. The high cleric grew suddenly, violently ill, and no treatment the town could provide would heal her. She died just a few hours later, and it was determined that the water flask she carried had been poisoned--a water flask last filled by one Thom Shortwick. The town would hear none of his protests, and his father and brothers simply turned their heads as Thom was cast out of the village, left to fend for himself in a vast, unknown world with nothing but the clothes on his back.&nbsp;

Name(Or what you prefer to be called OOC): Nick Age (18+) : 27 Discord Tag: Seksii #2134 Character Name: Jonnos Bahmonath (Jon) Character Class: Paladin Character Race: Triton Brief Character Backstory: Jon saved the daughter of a lord when her ship was capsizing. He ended up falling in love with her but her father wouldn't allow the relationship until Jon was rich or had a worthy title. Jon has been travelling the world ever since trying to make a name for himself. Additional Question(s): Has the actual week been decided yet? I have my kids every other week so I need to make sure the game falls on a week where i do not have them.

Name: Filip Age: 28 Discord Tag: capekfilip#6173 Character Name: Elgar Wildhammer Character Class: Druid (with focus on elements; shaman) Character Race: Dwarf Brief Character Backstory: Growing up in hilly village at the North amongst other members of the Wildhammer clan. Elgar, named after his father he never knew. He was killed before Elgar was born, but is celebrated by the clan as a hero that saved them. Everyone had big expectations from Elgar and he felt the pressure every day. When Elgar was strong enough to hold a hammer, the training begun. He wasn't that bad, but feeling of disappointment was present and after a while people started to pointing it out. One day Elgar realized that he must do something to prove everyone wrong and he left his village and Wildhammer clan seeking for power. After many years spend in the wilderness, where he learned how to lived on his own, he found a strange place. Place, where all four elements Water, Earth, Wind and Fire lived in harmony. Maybe here he can gain some power and than be like his father, a hero. Even more years goes by, but Elgar still believed. Living alone in the wild, next to this "Throne of Elements". Another morning meditation on a small shrine carved from the stone he made. When he sees and hears the elements whispering him. Elgar feels the manse power enveloping him. He asks the fire to start his camp fire and it happens. He asks the wind to blow the leaves and it happens. He asks the earth to split and it happens. He asks the water to fill the split earth and it happens. This experience was overwhelming. Elgar spend several days amazed by this in almost a trance, still sitting at the center of "Throne of Elements". After that he recognized this was the moment he was waiting for and knew this is the time to return to normal world and be a hero, just like his father.
