Blood Hawks

Welcome to the Blood, a small mercenary band, roughly 20 strong composed of the best of the best. In the war ravaged world of Elrya, they have been used by almost every side since their founding. Used to do the near impossible tasks that appear in warfare, they are essentially a very expensive trump card. Named the Blood hawks after they held off an army of 700 in Hawks pass in their early years, the have since continued to garner fame and fortune from their many escapades. Now, I think it's time to meet the members.

Member List: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uUcwtaXS9ioun1u7uW-hoGyeg7yl6kU79-uwdRV3EZI/edit?usp=sharing (it should be noted, that after the first or second session, the number of npc's in the group will drastically decrease, so not all of these people will be running around)

You are one of them, and this is where we start. It was just a normal job, no more difficult than any other taken. But then, disaster strikes, the company is scattered and the Captain is slain. Now it is up to your party to get out of the small hole of hell you have found yourself in, and try to regroup and reorganize the blood hawks to take revenge for your fallen captain. Embark on a journey through a dark and gritty world crafted with the inspiration from works such as Berserk, The Prince of Nothing, The Black Company and a few others.

If you are interested in joining this campaign, there are a few things to note before I give you the application requirements. We are looking for consistency in attendance. I know that life happens and missing a week here and there is not a big deal, as long as you give proper notice, however I can't have people going on three week stints of not showing up. Also, this is primarily a story driven campaign, with dialogue as the main focus, especially inter party dialogue. Combat will be quite prevalent, but I am mostly looking for the ability to play a character at a high level of proficiency. This is the main reason I am running this game as a text game. As such, for those of you who have never played text games, they are slower and awkward at first, but the flow soon becomes apparent after a few sessions.

It should also be noted this game will contain EXTREMELY GRAPHIC CONTENT that may be unsettling to some. Please be aware of this when applying.

Now, onto application requirements:

1. Your name, how long you have been playing d&d, and your experience with text games. (none of these will affect whether or not you get into the game, just simply good information for me to know)

2. Do you have access to skype? We do most communication outside of the game via a skype group chat. Make sure you have an account. I'll ask you for your name if you are accepted, so do not post it here.

3. Describe two characters, one to play, and one to add to the blood hawks as an npc. They should have a brief history, and a summary of their personality, similar the npc bio's in the member list above. (We start at level 6 also)

4. What do you want to see from me as a DM? I know none of you know me yet, but what are some of the things you look for from a DM, especially in a story driven campaign?

And that's about it, a rather simple application all considering. I will send out acceptances on Thursday the 20th. I would also like to meet chat with the new people at some point before the first game so that I can provide more background on the world and go through character creation as well as answer any questions you may have.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me! Don't be embarrassed. Other than that, I look forward to reading your applications and bid you adieu
