A younger sibling who went off adventuring and just seemingly vanished some time after? I can work with that.

Alrighty then. You start making your character and I'll get to work on the IC thread.

I don't really want her to find what she wants for a long time, because that's the reason she's doing something other than being a mother and wife at home.

The Hyborian Age: Conan
MTG: Zendikar
MTG: Ixalan

But I can play in any of the standard D&D settings, if you prefer that. Also, if you have some homebrew ideas, I'm interested.

I'm currently running a D&D game on this site that uses a homebrew setting of my own design. Almost all of my DMing experience comes from that setting, so I'd be best suited to running a game set there.

Is there some collected lore on this setting?

Yeah, I've got a fair amount of lore figured out in my head. Was there anything in particular you wanted to know?

Well, I can't see inside your head, so any and all lore you share helps me to get a feel of the setting. And some localized lore where the story starts would be nice.

I've head this idea in my head of Italian style fantasy, witches, fate, passion, latin feeling. Is that ok for this setting?

Italian style fantasy should be alright. Especially in the Venice-like city of Acquascura.

As for lore that helps you get a feel of the setting, here are nine pieces of lore to start off with:

• Every god from every setting is present in this one.
• Adventuring is seen as an uncommon yet respected profession, though there are no adventurers guilds or any other such organizations of the like.
• Many traditions and superstitions across the world concur on one thing: Being interesting or entertaining brings you good luck.
• Acquascura has been menaced on and off again since the day of its founding by an annis hag known as Old Annie Ogrehugger. As a result, the city has an abundance of 'bad seeds', children who have been manipulated into evil ways by the annis hag.
• Every so often, a night hag by the name of Nanna May Midnight sets up a cult in an old abandoned tower three miles north by northeast of the city. It is said among the people of Acquascura that whoever defeats the cultists earns an audience with the night hag, who is rumored to have the power to command the very forces of fate itself.
• The denizens of Acquascura are a passionate, deeply emotional people. Whirlwind love affairs and deadly duels are a common occurrence.

Mechanically, she is close to being ready. I think she's the daughter of a rather insignificant noble, who couldn't do much to effectively look for the lost offspring. She got more and more desperate as the days, then weeks flew by, then one day, just before falling asleep, she had a vision. That's when she got the offer from the patron, which she readily accepted.

Do the rest of her family know about her pact? Aside from two parents and a sibling, are there any other family members?

Probably not the pact, nothing that specific. I suppose they feel something's up with her, but leave it at that.

The younger brother, who disappeared, the older brother who's the family's (the parents', actually) main focus and hope. That's the immediate family. I'd like an aunt or grandmother, who's emotionally more mature, and she can talk to her; maybe even about the pact eventually.

Fiorenza Cappellini is my character's name, she's 19. The younger brother's Pietro, 15, older brother's Alfonso, 22.

You need only finish the character sheet and the game can commence.

Patron: Hexblade

Hexblade's Curse /rest
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:

- You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
- Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
- If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

Hex Warrior
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.

The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically channel your will through a particular weapon. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weapon's type.

Everything I can see seems to be in order. Can't seem to find your background though. I'm guessing that would be the noble background, yes?

Also, if I could offer some advice, you might find that using an online character sheet makes things easier. DiceCloud would be my recommendation, though there are of course others out there.

Either way, you can expect the game to begin some time tomorrow.
