Hello, names Herb and seeing this post gives me shivers of excitement, the concept of starting at lvl 0, progression, and really "feeling" my character get more powerful overtime. I'm really interested in the roleplaying aspect and exploring the world you've created. I'm available on Wednesday nights, I've been searching for a DnD group to scratch my itch for adventure, because at the moment I've had only disappointing and drama filled groups. I am 27 years old gamer and have about 6 years of experience. Character One: Lucitiforn - Warlock Backstory Lucitiforn was a young and impressionable lad with a loving human father and elven mother. As he grew through the years he saw how his father could cast all assortment of spells, from the innane to the powerful and he quickly grew enamored with magic. Sadly, no matter how much he studied and practiced he just couldn't get a handle of it, nothing seemed to work and little progress was made. By 16 his frustration turned to despair, constantly failing at the most basic of spells, accidents constantly happened to devastating results, while his parents attempted to comfort him in them he saw reflected his own failure, of how much of a disappointment he truly was. By 20 he was alone, his mother called away to her homeland, and while departed his father passed away. The night of his fathers death though, much would change for better or worse. A hellish nightmare of fire and darkness blackened his dreams, eyes staring, judging, watching, whispers clouding his mind. He awoke, drenched in sweat, but not all was well, something was calling to him within his home beneath the boards lies something more. Compelled beyond reason he followed, entered his fathers study, a faint song could be heard in the air, unsettling undertones giving rise to bumps. He went down the ladder into the darkness, ignoring all instinct telling him to flee, and before him was a necklace of darkened beauty. The singing growing louder as he approached it, hearing its call, feeling its desire for him. Blackened chain, with a glistening ruby eye, the singing ever louder, blood pulsing and heart racing. A faint voice heard above the cacophony of noise "bleed your desire on the ruby". Without question grabbing a sharpened edge on the nearby table, slashing his palm. The pendant grabbed and put on, the singing reaching crescendo as he places his bloodied palm on the ruby. The singing stops, all goes still, and a booming voice rings in his head, "The pact is signed". Character Two: Torgal Blackmaul - Ranger Backstory: In progress, for this character would prefer to know the setting before commencing. Discord#2947
