Aight!
I'm interested!
When is the OOC going to be up/the forms going to be due?

I'm interested!
Aight!
I'm interested! I have a question, though: Does this take place in Japan?
Matthew(and some Nyx)
Matthew's jaw dropped at the portal woman, but the moment was ruined when she opened her mouth.
A joke.
She told a joke at this time, in that way, in that manner?
...Okay.
The good news was that, considering the portal, magic was real and he wasn't losing his mind.
The bad news, however, was that not everyone was taking the existence of it seriously, even when they had it themselves.
"Oh, ha, ha, very funny," Matthew said to the portal woman, rolling his eyes. "Trust me, if I and the rest of us didn't have any magic, we would be reacting way worse than we actually are."
"Wow, talk about touchy," Nyx said in his mind. "Haven't you ever heard of, y'know, jokes?"
Matthew just rolled his eyes at Nyx's comment and, noticing that they hadn't been invited in yet, looked curiously at the door.
When two other men arrived and did something with said door, Matthew just nodded at the second man's remark about it.
Finally, they were actually going somewhere with this!

1. They will be fairly unknown to start. These rumors will have been from one heroic feat your character pulled off, which traveled from wherever your origin is to a certain noble's ear and picks up interest enough to sponsor a group through the adventure guild's trials. Details on that will come with the OOC. For various feats of strength, they can be discussed with me but you can do anything worth recruiting. Maybe you're the strongest swimmer in the region and can swim upstream with the trout without assistance. Maybe you can pull more wagon weight than an ox. Perhaps you fought off a troll from bumbling about your village. Possibilities are endless with your creativity.
2. This will be a fresh lvl 1 start. So fighting off a vampire lord is pretty unlikely, but the rumor is completely up to you within reason. Characters created in dndbeyond may get preference, as it is fully free to take advantage of the base content.
3. Stats will be those used in D&D5e character creation. Skill checks will be as normal, where I set a DC to see if you accomplish certain difficult tasks. To save on time, combat will be run a little differently but in the spirit of D&D5e. I'm considering using google docs for combat to make it all flow together as a collab.
@Dragonfly 9 Bards definitely have a musical place in this world, whether their experience is purely that of an adventurer or one of the Artists' Colleges. Also, you don't seduce dragons. Dragons seduce you. ;)

Considering the amount of interest, I'm gonna have to set a deadline. I'm thinking about a week after OOC goes up. To give everyone a fair shake, I won't accept CSes until close to the deadline. Keep that in mind, no need to rush anything out as this is not first-come first-serve.
That being said, everyone, I will work on the OOC and try to get it up Sunday. I want it to have as much information as you all ask for, so I appreciate your patience and interest!
EDIT to #2 answer. I'm still gonna prioritize how well a character is thought through, but in the event of several characters about the same quality, I may choose one that has dndbeyond character sheet because that's where I run my campaigns.
Aight!
Bard rolls to seduce dragon? Dragon sits on bard? Did the bard fail the roll, it depends on who you ask ;D
xD
((So, since you want us to be serious and active in the RP, I've decided to make a sort of performance check for this, so you can see how competent of a RPer I am and how much effort I'll put into this!
For context, this is the event that turns into my character's rumor, except this story is how it really happened.))
As Eagle sat atop the tallest building of the small village, he could see it all.
He could see the spirits of the dead chasing the living around, throwing various things at them, and getting into fights with them.
He could see the living trying to resist the spirits, such as a man shielding his children from the arrows a spirit was throwing at them. A young boy punching and kicking through another spirit as he was trying to drown him in the river outside, and two other people trying to stop him as well. A woman, begging and pleading for what looked to be the ghost of her son to stop this, to calm down, to just go home with her and pretend that none of this had ever happened.
He could also see the fresh corpses of the people who had started this whole mess, the soldiers who had managed to slaughter half of the town before being killed themselves. Thankfully, Eagle didn’t see their spirits terrorizing the village as well, but, of course, this wasn’t important.
Right now, Eagle needed to act, to stop all this before more deaths could occur.
And the best way to do that…
Eagle got his flute out of his pocket, and, after pulling up his plague doctor mask a bit to reveal black and white fur, pressed the flute to his mouth.
…Was to play.
Blowing into his flute, Eagle began to play a song, a song that was somber yet hopeful, a song that was bitter yet sweet, a song that was bleak yet inspiring.
He poured all his heart into this song. His music spoke of all his troubles, of all his worries, of all his mistakes.
And yet, it also spoke of a light at the end of the tunnel, that it was okay to be angry and afraid, but in the end, everything was going to be okay, and the spirits, once freed of all their troubles, would live in peace in the afterlife, if they only had the heart to let go of their fear and anger, and move on from it.
The spirits all stopped what they were doing and gathered around Eagle, and, when the song ended, so did their hostility.
Some of the spirits just went immediately to the afterlife after this, but most of them stayed behind for just a moment more, apologizing to and reuniting with their families and helping the living repair the village.
And Eagle was right there along with them, quelling hostilities even more and helping heal the sick as well further helping the spirits move on.
Someone has to do it, after all.
