Hello fellow Survivors! TLDR: I'm searching for a group for some online D&D 5E shenanigans during this oddly high stakes Pandemic tm LARP we've all been involuntarily shoved into. Availability: My job is minimizing on-site hours, so I've got plenty of free time from about 8 AM-ish to about 8 PM-ish Hawaii time (2 PM-ish to 2AM-ish East Coast time or 11 AM-ish to 11 PM-ish West Coast time), but I'd rather play after 3PM-ish HST (9PM EST/6PM PST) so that I can keep with the group once work picks up again. I've got a good low level campaign for my Saturdays, but I'm still in the market for another game on the weekdays that could run at a higher level, probably 5+. Experience: I played a lot in previous years, but set it aside for a while due to job and family, but have recently picked it up again. My experience is mostly from D&D 3.0/3.5, but I have played some 4.0, 5.0, Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Shadowrun, and White Wolf, with each campaign being a good mix of mechanics and roleplay. I'm really liking 5.0 and want to get more experiences with it. I've done a little in Roll20, but I'm still learning and getting comfortable with online play. I have Discord and Skype if those are prefered over Roll20's video and voice functions. Campaigns I'm looking for: I'm looking for games where I can immerse into playing some high fantasy adventure with a variety of themes where characters can develop through challenges. I'm ok with 18+ themes and bad stuff happening (it'd be great to have a group where I don't have to worry about an errant cuss word or two), but I'm trying to avoid super dark or meat grinder campaigns. Roaming around to see the bright and dark spots of a fantasy world would be fantastic and homebrew or book-modified worlds are very welcome. Characters I'm looking to play: Not exclusive to these characters, as I often like to fill gaps in a party's resources, but here are some example characters I'd like to play. Character Name: Lysandra "Lizzy" Starlance Character Race and Gender: Aasimar Female Wanted Class and Subclass: Paladin (Oath of Heroes) / Bard (College of Swords) Character Alignment: Neutral Good Overview: An idealistic young paladin of a knightly order who ran off before taking her oath, hiding from her previous life by traveling disguised as a wandering performer. She's evading the pressure of expected heroism and noble standing to try living free among regular folk, all the while fearing its all just a temporary reprieve from some enclosing destiny. Character Name: Alpha the Bloodhound Character Race and Gender: Gnoll Male (Gnoll race found at <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/42361-free-gnoll" rel="nofollow">https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/42361-free-gnoll</a> , willing to discuss features, if unacceptable would change to Shifter) Wanted Class and Subclass: Ranger (Bloodhound - Homebrew that can be found at <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/114817-bloodhound" rel="nofollow">https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/114817-bloodhound</a> , if considered unacceptable would use multiclass Fighter with Rogue Inquisitive) Character Alignment: Neutral Good Overview: A cynical bounty hunter who's trying to grow past monstrous origins to be a productive lawful member of society, despite a penchant for intimidation and aggressive tactics. Though more than willing to play the part of the bad guy, he hopes to fulfill the role of a lawbringer (think of an old west marshall, but a gnoll). Has a soft spot for kids and happy families, and hopes to reunite with his twin sister who was taken away by an order of monks after a failed raid. Character Name: Myrra the Seeker Character Race and Gender: Gnoll Female (Gnoll race found at <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/42361-free-gnoll" rel="nofollow">https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/42361-free-gnoll</a> , willing to discuss features, if unacceptable would change to Shifter) Wanted Class and Subclass: Monk (Way of the Five Animals - Homebrew that can be found at <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/71548-way-of-the-five-animals" rel="nofollow">https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/71548-way-of-the-five-animals</a> , if considered unacceptable would use Way of the Open Hand.) Character Alignment: Neutral Good Overview: A willful, free minded Gnoll who was separated from her clan at adolescence by a Monk who wished to prove that her kind could be be instilled with patience and discipline, she herself became a monk seeking to prove that the violent instincts of her background can be channeled into a productive fighting discipline. She is Alpha's twin sister and does not know that he is alive and searching for her. Character Name: Alicia Nerianys Character Race and Gender: Kalashtar Female Wanted Class and Subclass: Warlock (Pact of the Lady of the White Well - Homebrew that can be found at <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/106103-the-moonlit-lady" rel="nofollow">https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/106103-the-moonlit-lady</a> , if considered unacceptable would play an Archfey Pact Warlock) Character Alignment: Chaotic Good Overview: An adventurous soul that has romantic leanings toward her patron, who demands of her that she seek out the most exciting experiences for her amusement. She seems more insightful than her years would suggest, due to the benefits of a life rich with travel and culture and a continual curiosity for more. She is more than willing to life half as long as she should if it means that time is twice as eventful. Character Name: Searing Solomon Character Race and Gender: Kalashtar Male Wanted Class and Subclass: Monk (Way of the Sun Soul) Character Alignment: Chaotic Good Overview: A monk who lost his way and for a time made his living as a pirate, he made a reputation for himself for being "odd" by showing an unusual perception and fighting abilities. He wanders, not judging people for their choices, but simply absorbing that they are who they are. He can find morality rather subjective, and values experiences over any specific legal tenets. Character Name: Aveela Yi Shaza Character Race and Gender: Tiefling (Winged Variant) Female Wanted Class and Subclass: Paladin (Oath of Vengeance) Character Alignment: Lawful Good Overview: A flamboyant and aggressive member of an order of Paladins called "The Helldroppers", she is a punisher of evil who loves dispatching her foes from the sky. She takes a special thrill in wreathing herself in fire, dropping into a dive from high above, screaming vengeance as she unleashes her smite upon impact. When that doesn't fill her time she's generally just sticking her nose in other's business. Character Name: Nordaine Thundercrash Character Race and Gender: Goliath (Either) Wanted Class and Subclass: Fighter (Cavalier) Character Alignment: Chaotic Good Overview: A former raider turned adventurer who seeks out battle with incredible foes while seeking to found a unique mount with which to form a strong bond and together craft their legend. A very direct person who doesn't hide much, but is very adamant about protecting companions by dominating the attention of enemies or just charging down any that would dare challenge the party in the first place. Character Name: Mercury Character Race and Gender: Warforged Undecided Wanted Class and Subclass: Monk (Way of the Open Hand) Overview: A wandering construct with little memory or identity, developing through new memories and experiences and discovering functions built in by an unknown creator. Very physically capable, but perhaps a bit lacking in interpersonal skills. Can you program inner peace? Mercury will have to make decisions about identity that are normally givens for most characters, and likely seek out advice from the party on each one. Please feel free to message me if you are looking for players, or a group eager to take one more adventurer into the fold!
