The Gods Look Upon Us in this World.

“What followed the footprints left by their kind was only the beginning of the endless search for our divine love." - Solminus, 4:12
The following campaign is homebrewed. It takes place as part of a greater canon. It will be mostly open for the players to explore and work through in terms of the overarching progression. It is a LONG term game and has some important roleplay elements in addition to session time. Expect to be a part of it for many months to come -- but only if you're dedicated!!

The campaign is currently in progress -- anyone who joins will be joining at a place early in the story thus far.

This story takes place in a world known as Tiatius, who’s modern era shares similarities with our own but many elements of fantasy and great promises of adventure. Magical devices run the modern world, and these devices are known as Magitek, which operates off of the magical energies present within this world.

On the continent of Tremaceus, a band of aspiring adventurers who have attended the Neostellocculum adventuring academia have finally graduated after 4 years of hard work and aspiring to get somewhere within their life. However, all would be for naught as a terrible fate befalls them -- they are framed for a crime worthy of death. Fleeing the country, they must band together and find a way to uncover what conspiracy has been laid upon them, working to uncover a truth that may lie in the shadows of the past several hundreds of years before.

This campaign contains furry characters. If you have any issues with furries or the fandom, please do not apply. For each race, there is an analogue conversion for the race into a species. While the original races still exist in the world for variance, furry alternatives are available if not preferred because of the current party. Upon acceptance, we will discuss the conversion options.

Sessions take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 or 9 pm PST to ~1 or 2 am. If you do not attend, you do not receive Experience. There will be creative ways to make up for lost experience however, if you do miss content. Will discuss if accepted.

What are we looking for in a player?

The following list may seem very specific, but this is for the interest of the group.

• A player 18-25 years of age, preferably female. (This is marked as mature content mainly because we prefer people over the age of 18)
• Must be able to attend sessions that go into late night -- some sessions will end at 2 am or 2:30 am.
• Must like furry/anthropomorphic characters, LGBT friendly.
• Must like anime and anime-esque content.
• Doesn't mind innuendos, not overly sensitive to jokes.
• MUST have a sense of humor but also know when to take things seriously to appreciate storytelling.
• Open minded. Vivid imagination and able to play with descriptions given. Creative is a plus. Fun personality is even better! Twice as much points for being an artist!
• For experienced players -- must not be a rules lawyer, munchkin, elitist, or power gamer. Must not be prone to rage over low rolls.
• Responsible and reliable -- consistent in showing up. Schedule should be relatively free over the course of the week to receive notifications and participate in roleplay.
• In good health and not currently weighed down by excessive anxiety or outside factors.
• MUST REGULARLY USE SKYPE AND LOG INTO SKYPE -- THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL! (all session calls are hosted in the call)
• Eager and willing to participate in an off-session role-play chat. During a session, must be vocal and participate meaningfully, but not be overbearing or taking a leadership position.
• Although listed as "New Players Welcome", please make sure you have an understanding of role play and are capable of learning quickly. We do have a preference for people with some amount of experience with roleplaying games in general (not necessarily D&D 5e). If you come from another system (such as Pathfinder or 3.5), please play with an open mind and try not to make assumptions about the system, because 5e has radical differences than previous editions.
• Friendly and not trying too hard to be formalized. Gets along well with people. Hopefully a gamer outside of D&D as well (for friendliness purposes.) Not overly logical as well.

What are we looking for in a character?

• This campaign uses the traditional 4d6 keep highest 3 for stat generation. Roll all stats 3 times and pick whichever set of stats seems best for you. (I am reasonable in this regard too).
• Each player must create two characters -- a past, and present arc character, The character for your present arc will be the one that you play for most of the game. Details on past arc characters will be given after acceptance.
• For the main campaign arc, we need either a Rogue or a Arcane Caster, such as Wizard or Sorcerer.
• Please be willing to make a female character. The party's characters are predominantly female and we would prefer it doesn't turn into a harem group. The past arc can easily be either.
• Character will begin at Lvl 3. If you are a new player and are accepted, you will be given the help needed to create the character if required.
• Alightnent must be GOOD or Neutral with good intentions. Any of Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic is fine. (The campaign is good aligned and it helps to keep players together in the party rather than at each other's throats).
• PLEASE DO NOT COME WITH A CHARACTER YOU ALREADY HAVE MADE! The character should be original for this campaign and you should not have a sheet made for them yet. Do NOT link a sheet with your character. If you are accepted, then you may begin creating your character after I've disclosed campaign details.

House Rules

• Reroll all 1's on hit dice for level ups.
• Players can draw dungeon maps (and are rewarded for doing so)
• Books used: Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, DMG, Princes of the Apocalypse Player's Companion (for spells. Races subject to approval.)
• You character has at least 4 years of their background where they spent time with the current party. Perhaps not part of the same squad, but each player character should know each other to some basic extent. Will be discussed when accepted.
• Race to Furry-Equivalent conversions are purely aesthetic. They do not affect abilities or statistics apart from what the base race has. Furthermore, all characters in-game can identify your racial equivalent.

How do I apply?

When making an application post

PLEASE CREATE A POST WITH THIS FORMAT AND ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS, OR I WILL IGNORE YOUR POST

(Sorry if it seems like a lot, but we have these things for a reason!) You do not have to be overly detailed. For experience, please do not send me a resume or a million links to things about your experience -- a sentence or two can suffice.

• Who are you? Do you have any nicknames you prefer to go by or persona/fursona names you use OOC?
• What is your skype?

• What is your time zone?

• What is your experience with tabletop games, or if you have none with D&D in particular, how fast can you learn and how eager are you to play?
• Do you do any chat-based role-play or have done any? What do you use Skype for? What was it about?
• Are you an artist or do you use any sites such as fur-affinity, tumblr, deviantArt, etc.?
• How well do you get along with people? Do you have any quirks we should know about?
• Do you have a stable connection and a decent quality microphone? (Extremely Important)
• For fun: do you play any video games or watch any anime? Any other random stuff you want to tell us?

Additional questions will be asked if necessary, possibly in-thread or through Skype message.

And Finally, Who is the DM?

I am Pakki Sukibe (or just Ki for short), the DM for this campaign. I tend to be very quirky in my style of DMing and love to have fun, but I also stress role play and overarching story. I am an fine arts major and an artist on commission as well as an advocate for games and a game design enthusiast (to some extent). Aside from that, I am also an MMO gamer and (obviously) a furry and a bit of an anime yuri addict.
I've been DMing for over 2 or 3 years so far and have been running several long spanning campaigns and other personal game projects. I have most experience DMing in Pathfinder, but have been DMing for D&D 5e as of late due to it's much more intuitive and imagination friendly design. I love to build worlds as well and overarching stories.
Generally, I am very friendly and love to role-play, and I have a big emphasis on character design and characterization. I have some peeves about people insulting each other and like it if people get along. I appreciate people who are also friendly as well. I like to help people out as I can with the game, but I'm not afraid to be snappy in judgements as they are needed. I generally do not appreciate people trying to side-DM or rules lawyer as it disrupts a lot of things in my games (unless I ask for it). But overall, you'll find I'm quite fluffy and welcoming if I can afford to be <3

What is the current party?

Currently, we have:
* A squirrel-cow knowledge cleric (human)
* A tiger berserker barbarian
* A raccoon lore bard
* A rabbit elemental adept monk
