BACKSTORY

Tark Stonefire served in a Dwarven Army for many years; initially he was an Infantryman, but he later began to learn the art of magic without a mentor and thus assumed a more artillery role. However, he became more and more arrogant as he learned to bend the forces of the cosmos to his will, and it lead to his greatest mistake. During one particularly fierce battle, Tark cast a Sleep spell which was intended to knock down a group of enemies for the infantry to mop up. However, due to not paying attention, Tark ended up casting the spell on a group of his own soldiers, who were set upon by an orcish squad that cut them to pieces. The battle was eventually won and the mishap was blamed on an orcish shaman who had been participating in the battle. However, Tark couldn't live with the guilt and resigned. He stopped studying magic for many years, but eventually he couldn't stay away. Tark eventually decided to take a long trip to try and understand magic itself. He resolved, however, to never let his hubris get any other comrade killed ever again.

Backstory

Handsome Dan is an adventurer's adventurer. At the age of 13, he led a riot when the local Duke sent his men for a double-taxation that would've impoverished his small village. They drove off the tax men and the truncheons and Dan had the village priest send the Duke a letter. "You'll get what's due when it's due. Or come yourself and ask nicely for more."

 

Since then, Dan's been a local hero, standing up to bullies and always lending a hand. He hunted, worked, explored, and was well-regarded until, at 20, he up and left. As it happens, he asked his childhood sweetheart to marry him, but she turned him down, to care for her ailing parents. Dan, though, didn't wait for an explanation; he left town right then. 

 

Ever since, he's made his way across country, stopping at trading outposts, joining up with bands of adventurers, and standing up for the small folk against any oppressions. Generous by nature, Handsome Dan has a reputation for appearing at need with help or money. He's seen as a crafty outdoorsman, with a smile that could charm an angry bear, and a silver tongue that could woo the honey from a hive. And there are many local tall tales of stories just like that.

Well... there does seem to be a bit of an emphasis on the rougish sort of fellows.

He is on sabbatical now, and has much to do.

Back Story

Leugren was born into a clan of dwarves with a long and proud tradition of military service.  He quickly distinguished himself as a member of the Iron Legion, until the day that he overslept after a drunken bender and his entire unit was wiped out.  While the standard punishment for such a crime was immediate execution, Leugren managed to avoid this fate because one of his uncles was a regimental commander who wished to avoid embroiling the clan in a scandal.  Instead, Leugren was quietly allowed to resign and told in no uncertain terms that he should never show his face again.

BACKSTORY

Vadania Galanodel has spent most of her life as a priestess of Corellon Latharien, the greatest of the elven gods. While many of Corellon's clergy went beyond elven lands in his service, Vadania was content to spend her days as a scribe in Myth Drannor, researching in the great libraries dedicated to the faith. One day, however, she came across several writings that dated back to the Time of Troubles, when the gods walked upon the Forgotten Realms. These writings raised several questions about the nature of the Gods, and so she talked about what she had found with Thamior Amakiir, a senior member of the faith. Thamior set out from Myth Drannor soon after. For decades, Vadania recieved the occasional letter from him. His final letter talked about a discovery he had made in relation to the texts that Vadania had discovered, and he promised to write again soon. Afterwards, no more letters came. Vadania waited a year before deciding that another letter would likely not be coming. The only way to discover what had happened to Thamior, and what those texts she had unearther actually meant, was to travel across the world herself. So Vadania took up sword, sheild, and a symbol of Corellon, before venturing forth.

Ideal: Charity - “I always try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost.”

Bond: “I have a charcoal rubbing that holds a clue to some ancient secrets which must not fall into the wrong hands.”

Flaw: “I lack a personal filter; I often ask questions that others would consider rude, though I am entirely oblivious to their discomfort (e.g. Are you pregnant? Is that a real beard? Can I pull on it? You must get  all sorts of food stuck in it!)”.  

 

BACK STORY

Same as Leugren, I mostly vent my need to play through generating new characters. Here's one I fell in love with (and will probably use in our game):

 

Corrin Underbough

Small Male Humanoid

Nimbleness

Stout Halfling: resilience
Healing Surge 1d10+1
Fighting Style (two-weapon fighting)
Actions
Melee Attacks— Short Sword/Short Sword: +4/+4 to hit (reach 5 ft.; one creature). 
Hit: 1d6+3/1d6+3 piercing damage
Ranged Attack—Lt. Crossbow: +4 to hit (range 80/320 ft; one creature). 
Hit:  1d8+2 piercing damage

Appearance:

 

• I have fair skin, light brown hair, and dark green eyes. 
• My hair is unusually unruly, even for a halfling. 

Personality Traits:  

 

• When I set my mind to something, I follow through no matter what gets in my way.
• Thinking is for other people. I prefer action.

Ideals:

 

• Freedom: Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them. (Chaotic)

Bond:

 

• I protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Flaw:

 

• I'm convinced of the significance of my destiny, and blind to my shortcomings and the risk of failure.

   

 

 I started my life as a simple blacksmith, yet I was certain that I was destined for greatness. Unfortunately for others, that belief was seemingly confirmed when I single-handedly slew a powerful ogre rampaging through my town. (In actuality, the ogre had been badly wounded fighting the town guards, and I simply took the opportunity to finish the job.) I then set out to find the nearest tavern, in hopes of encountering lesser heroes who could provide aid on my journey to fame and glory. I have taken great measures to remind myself that incessantly affirming my greatness is seen as a nuisance by smaller-minded beings, but sometimes Destiny compels me to ignore these self-reprimandments.

 

In combat, I am not as durable as another warrior may be, but I do not let this hold me back. I have a tendency to skirt about the battlefield, quickly killing weaker foes (and thus getting a head start on the others) before continuing onwards to more dangerous enemies. When threatened, I try to flee to safety, usually killing any foolish adversary that stands behind me and the nearest cover. However, I am not so cowardly as to quit a brawl prematurely, and will return once I have recovered my breath and drawn on my second wind. I am not skilled at diplomatic skills, and have a tendency to put off potential allies with my overly-heroic spirit and (somewhat excessive) boasts. As such, I have learned to keep my mouth shut during most polite discussions, turning my attention to other tasks.

 

NOTE: Feel free to remove the extra roleplay/tactics info, it mostly pertains to the character I'm going to play.

 

EDIT: Aaaaaah typo.

Here's another one (I like fighters):

Healing Surge 1d10+1
Fighting Style (archery)
Actions
Melee Attacks–Handaxe/Handaxe: +1/+1 to hit (reach 5 ft.; one creature). 

Hit: 1d6-1/1d6-1 piercing damage

Rapier: +5 to hit (reach 5 ft; one creature).

Hit: 1d8+3 piercing damage

Ranged Attack–Longbow: +7 to hit (range 150/600 ft; one creature). 

 

Hit:  1d8+3 piercing damage 

Net: +7 to hit (range 5/15 ft; one creature).

Hit: target is restrained (DC 10 Strength)

Handaxe/Handaxe: +1/+1 to hit (range 20/60, one creature).

Hit: 1d6-1/1d6-1 slashing damage

Equipment: leather armor, longbow, 20 arrows, net, rapier, handaxe x2, crowbar x2, common clothes (hooded), belt pouch, backpack, hammer, piton x10, ration x10, waterskin, 50 ft. rope, 11 gp, 40 sp.

 

Appearance:

 

• I have tan skin and light brown. 
• Due to my short dark hair and light build, I could easily pass as a man. 

Personality Traits:  

 

•  I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong. 
• I am incredibly slow to trust. Those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide.

Ideals:

 

• Freedom: Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them. (Chaotic)

Bond:

 

• I'm trying to pay off an old debt I owe to a generous benefactor.

Flaw:

 

• When faced with a choice between money and my friends, I usually choose the money.

 

I had been a member of a thieves' guild since I was little. However, when a high-end job I took went sour, the ringleader sold me out, and I was forced to go into hiding. I used my knack for thievery to make money, but I was always on the run from my old guildmaster, who was determined to catch me and restore his reputation as a man not to be crossed. Eventually, I was caught breaking into an elf noble's mansion, but he chose to spare my life in exchange for a debt. For the past three years, I have worked for Laucian Liadon, robbing tombs and exploring ruins in search of a magic item he is determined to find. I have yet to find it, but Laucian thinks he may have a lead. However, I will need backup if I am to succeed in this mission, and first I will need to prove myself trustworthy to these new allies.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: I listed the ranged handaxe attacks as using the Archery feature as written. If your group interprets it as applying to ranged attacks, not ranged weapons, the stats would be:

 

Ranged Attacks–Handaxe/Handaxe: +3/+3 to hit (range 20/60; one creature).

Hit: 1d6-1/1d6-1 slashing damage.

Back Story

Darius has lived a hard life so far. In his younger years he became a smuggler, but was arrested and sentenced to life as a gladiator (the common punishment for serious crimes in his homeland). He survived years of fighting in the arena, biding his time waiting for the right moment to escape. He found his opportunity a handful of months ago and made his escape - leaving behind the corpses of many of his now-former owner's friends and employees in the process - and fled the country.

 

He has decided that, as he will need to stay on the move to elude his former owner, he will take to the life of an adventuring hero and do some good with whatever time he has left in his life.

He is currently tracking down his nemesis, the infamous burglar Chuck Dagger, and this chase had led him on many an adventure. Might they team up against a common enemy in an unlikely but effective duo?

BACK STORY
Cadwallon is not my true name; I am attempting to escape the guilt of my youth when my poor decisions led to the death of my father, an accomplished bladesinger, spy and diplomat from Myth Drannor.  Consequently, I took another name until I feel worthy of my birth name.  Like my father, I have dedicated myself to the art of the bladesong, and, to atone for my mistakes, to the order of the Harpers.  While I’m just a minor informant for the order, I seek adventure and danger in the attempt to prove my worth to myself and others.  However, I won’t allow another person to die due to my decisions.  Sometimes this leads me to improvise plans to keep my friends safe despite their dislike for my improvisation.

BACKSTORY

Sarduuk Magavario was born into a world of cut-throat politics within the desert city of Al’Akram, the son of a powerful tiefling satrap who took great pleasure in subjecting him to the cruelest humiliations and punishments.  Pushed to the brink, Sarduuk began to cultivate his natural arcane gifts in the hopes that these would provide him with the tools he needed in order to exact his revenge.  He proved to be a prodigy, which made him overconfident-- drunk on his newfound power, he moved against his father prematurely.  The failed coup turned Sarduuk into a fugitive. He fled to the Savage North along with his trusty valet, Iorgo, a gnarled old root of a gnome with mismatched eyes who speaks heavily accented Common, and who refers to his master as "the Magavario" as in "You must not disturb the Magavario! A sorcerer of his pre-eminent stature must spend many hours each day in silent contemplation of the mysteries!".

Irἵtra [Irr-E-Tra] is tall reaching nearly 6 feet in height, with an athletic body voluptuous curves, with bright red hair and pitch black eyes, as if her pupils were oversized without dicernable iris. Irἵtra was born 16 winters ago in the town of Secomber. Born of unknown father, her mother Claire died while giving birth leaving her covered in blood and orphan the minute she entered Faerun. She was taken in adoption by Count Evlarr Vadû, a petty noble successful in the silk trade on the Sword Coast. Irἵtra had a troubled youth filled with horrible visions and was kept hidden in the manor's basement as Count Vadû started to feel something was wrong with Irἵtra being a disturbed child. She started to have a tail growing by 9, and ominous whispers in alien language would often surround her, first in her head, but soon hearable by anyone who'd listen, apparently coming out of nowhere. She could yell louder than 3 men and make the ground tremors faintly when mad. At other time, flames of candles and lanterns would flicker, dim or brighten at her entrance into a room. Her infernal inheritance was becoming clear to Evlarr, who was starting to think Irἵtra had fiend parentage. When he told her his suspicions at the brinks of her sixteenth birthday, Iriἵra ran away horse-riding with her three servants (Wendy, Irene & Karmina) who raised her and taugh her swordmanship. They fled into the Misty Forest where Irἵtra made camp and stayed as if waiting for something....clad in scale mail and armed with her twin scimitars. Irἵtra expect the strange powers gifted to her to be from a fiend which she hates with burning fire and thinks the whispers, which she came to understand the significance in Infernal, means her father is coming soon for her....

Back Story

When the impoverished desert pueblo of Tierra Mierda lost all of its chickens to a mysterious and frightening predator, Paco Mortillo-Grande - drunker than a zorrillo - donned his signature plaid luchador's mask for the first time. He stood alone against the horrible El Chupapollo, a ravenous beast, all tooth and claw. After an epic, drawn-out battle that drew a throng of hundreds to watch, Paco twisted its head clean off and then danced the flamenco with its still-thrashing body - a move he still does to this day when he lands the killing blow.

 

In his later years and now calling himself Mucho Cerveza, he brings his fame and skills to bear to help those who need it including Chuck Dagger, who he saved from a corrupt sheriff's noose. Mucho has also previously teamed up with Marshal Heeling to take down a gang of bandits that had taken over a one-horse town. He worships the same ancient pantheon of gods as Vanciana Feyzalez and finds great comfort in confiding in her.

Me cago de risa!

Nice!  You might consider a change of name, though, especially if you play with a bunch of sophomoric smart-a**es like I do.  It sounds too much like  "Urethra"!  I had to learn this lesson the hard way when I created a character named Magyna!

I have plenty of characters from other editions, but am just now creating my first one for 5E.

 

I am taking my time and enjoying the process, and there is at least one other character that I want to make afterwards.

 

Once I get those two created and tweaked the way I want, I may try to post one to this thread.

I am especially fond of the details that he is a cook (because I like characters that share qualities with me - makes it easier to slide into their personality), and the name of the pueblo.

So, maybe you already have 5 players and a 6th person wants to join. What should you do? Give them a Henchman!

Bree [BREE] is a short halfling (3'3") with long brown hair, hazel eyes and a cute little round face despite a large scar runing down her nose and cheek. She was born in the mid 1400's DR in the Purple Hills of Tethyr in a small hidden village not appearing on most maps. Bree became an acolyte of Arvoreen after joining the knightly order called Arvoreen's Marchers, primarily responsible for patrolling the Purple Marshes and doing other special tasks deemed important to the clergy. She has attained the rank of Warder as an Arvoreen's Marshall thus far. Bree recently left her village with sacred texts and an ancient abalaster mask to preserve them from Urdlen, the Crawler Below until she gets more instructions. She has ventured in the northern Sword Coast and often protect unwary travellers or lost mercenaries in need of help.
