I mostly enjoy writing in the Casual section of the guild. Character development and exploring character relationships motivate me. I like to really think myself into my character and their view on others and the world around them which is why I prefer to stick to one character per roleplay. I love world-building but I am also easily overwhelmed with very detailed concepts I haven't been met with before. So you could say I love a decent amount of world-building and prefer original builds. Once everyone has settled, expanding that world and its concept is a great way to create more depth and keep me as a player hooked as I love to discover new things!

My favorite genre is and has always been fantasy. I guess you could say I love escapism to a point where I like to flee the mundane world entirely. I also feel drawn to sci-fi roleplays but I have noticed that those usually intimidate me. I feel like I am not adept at writing about technology and all that sci-fi goodness so I mostly just pine over how awesome some OOCs look and never apply to them.

When it comes to fantasy I feel right at home. For my mind, it is much easier to grasp magical concepts and worlds than sci-fi ones. As a result of this, all the worlds I write up (be it here as a GM or elsewhere) tend to be fantastical in one way or another. I especially enjoy adventure RPs and witch RPs. I like to see new magical systems and am always eager to learn more about the worlds I RP in.

Additionally, all my characters are queer, always. Since I am queer myself and can't imagine playing straight ^^

Although the days of witch hunts are long past us, life isn't roses. While the upcoming election is threatening witches with a potential anti-witch politician claiming the title of president, unrest is stirring in the corners of the world. A rise in threats has been detected - unnatural beings, magical beasts, and other supernatural phenomena pull media attention and feed directly into an anti-witch campaign.

The Death Knight's Squire (GM)
A D&D One-Shot. A group of adventurers is hired to find the missing grandson of a wealthy couple visiting the town. He was taken by a mysterious knight who rode his horse into the deadly woods nearby, taking the young boy with him. But the knight is not a simple man, he is said to be a resurrected ghostly figure forever in search for a squire, kidnapping young boys who never return home.

Wandering Topside [1x1]
The Cult of the Dragon has come to Phlan, a lawless refuge on the Moonsea. Now, with no significant authority to stop the cult, other power groups in the Realms – the Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Lords' Alliance, and even the Zhentarim – must unite to stop the cult from fulfilling its dark purpose in the city. Meanwhile, Rhana, a drow rogue with a questionable past, and Salissa, a dhampir bard with flair, find themselves somehow involved in this as they tackle different missions aimed at stopping the cult.

This is just my character archive. I have recently reorganized it. I made a whole new thread for it, moved the CS I wanted to keep for memories sake over and am now less ashamed to have people stumble upon my creations.

@Vertigo You get the con mod as normal! I wrote it confusingly. So it's max HP + con + roll HP + con.

It was easy to say the creature had escaped its temporary prison as something much less solid appeared to be running sometimes behind, sometimes just a few feet to their side, seemingly having caught up to them. It looked like black smoke with fast legs and glaring white eyes, a figure not decipherable as anything comprehensible. But Simon, Manon and Scott knew these eyes, they knew the chill that ran down their spines every time they got a glimpse of the dark smokey figure before it seemingly vanished - just to reappear a moment later in the corner of their eye. Chasing its prey.

Just as they were about to see the end of the forest before them, their view was blocked by the creature. The smoke manifested into the figure they'd seen before. A black dog-like creature with bright white eyes shining bright. And then its gaze dropped onto Simon and the boy began to feel something pull on the very essence of his being, his soul perhaps. Since he had not experienced it before, it was hard to tell. Simon began to feel weaker the longer the gaze of the dog lingered on him, pulling all the energy from his body, slowly and painstakingly.

Zhalia kept pace with Phalko for a moment until they jumped through literal space, teleporting themselves ahead. Though Zhalia didn't mean to slow down, she did nonetheless. Turning her head while keeping just a bit ahead of the rest of the group, making sure she kept them in her eyesight. But the shadow was haunting them. The creature was stalking them, giving them space just to taunt them with its reappearing presence. Something had to be done. She could not fight it here. She did not want to fight it here.

An undead creature I can't pin down... Her necromancy was her most trusted tool, she knew her skills, and she knew the extent of them well. Zhalia turned around once more, stopping in her tracks, a tight grip on her dagger. She studied the surrounding trees, waiting for the beast to show itself once more. Her sense for all things necromantic had clearly indicated this creature to be necromantic in nature. But she could not pin down what exactly it was. A ghost perhaps? But then I would have picked up on it... The mystery of this dog's original perplexed her. You're not an omen at all, are you? Her eyes kept slowly studying the tree line around them. Where are you?

The group caught up with her and as she began to walk again, intending to keep with their pace this time, the creature appeared right in front of them. She immediately took on a readied stance when Simon suddenly weakened and seemingly sunk into himself. Without hesitation she threw her dagger straight at the beast, aiming for its eye. The dagger went through the beast as if it was nothing but smoke and air though it had regained its solid look. The gaze of the beast whipped over to Zhalia.

A painful draining feeling immediately surfaced within every muscle of her being and she couldn't stop herself from dropping to the cold forest floor. Every cell in her body felt like it had been starved of nutrition for months though she felt no hunger. Her eyes had trouble focusing as she attempted to press herself up from the cold floor. "Run", she told the others. Every inch of her body was in a constant, dumbfounding pain that felt like it would never end. It wasn't excruciating pain but it was so tiring. Her energy was dwindling with every second. "Go, now!" She could fight the creature. She was sure she had faced worse. She would find the strength to get up. I will get up. Just get up. Do it. Move, you stupid useless muscles! She pressed her hands into the cold floor and lifted her upper body up with all the might she could muster.

I will be unsubscribing from this. If anyone here decides to run a DND campaign on here (or on discord), let me know!
@CollectorOfMyst This still needs some finishing touches? Some sentences about the backstory perhaps :)

@Mistress Dizzy Your CS also still needs some work, it seems. How's that coming along?

@Neianna86 Seems good to me.

As I said, I would wanna try and get the IC started on Monday, possibly Tuesday. But that's what I am aiming for at the moment. For those not finished with their CS yet, do you think you can finish them until then?
@rocketrobie2 Looks good to me :) You can move the two of them into the character tab.
@Mistress Dizzy Ah shit, I missed that! No, you're absolutely fine then. My bad. I have been a bit all over the place this week.
@Mistress Dizzy This works for now but I don't think you get a feat at level 2. They start earliest at level 4 if I remember correctly.
@Mistress Dizzy You can always switch to a different online forum to use. Mystery Weavers is pretty simple. DND Beyond has some options for free and is pretty simple to use. I sadly don't know dungeon master's vault and can't assist with it. I also saw you rolled a 7 on your HP. That would give you 7+8+constitution modifier. So you have at least 15 HP and then you add whatever your constitution modifier is to it, that will be your max HP.

I will look at the submitted CS soon! @rocketrobie2 Would be great if you could copy your sheet over into this thread.

I'm gonna try to get a look at everything this weekend and hopefully we can start IC on Monday. I do have some other important things to take care of over the weekend though, so I can't promise I will be all set to start Monday but I'll try.

At this point I gotta assume this isn't coming back up, really. I'll be unsubscribing for that reason. If it does come back, feel free to tag me.
I would appreciate some more info. Are we supposed to all be the crew of one ship and know each other already? Do you have a "plot" in mind, or "events"? I have noticed that oftentimes RPs die when there is no direct "next step" and "goal" presented to the group. So would we have missions or anything? (I'm thinking of it kind of like quests in an open-world video game if that makes sense.)

Are you looking for only humans as characters or can we go wild and invent new races from other solar systems like sci-fi often does?
