Game Description

The citizenry has been evacuated. Violent tremors began rocking the streets several hours ago, followed by lava-spewing fissures, monsters falling from the sky, and other catastrophes. In the shuddering red clouds above, a vortex is slowly forming, centered on the city - a spiraling scar in the clouds within which can be seen glimpses of an alien sky. Blasts of steam and ash vent from the ground, destroying buildings and choking the streets with darkness before spiraling up to merge with the clouds above. Some panicked citizens even claim to see tortured faces in the darkness, but they disappear as soon as a sputtering torch is brought to bear. Unfortunately for the world, these events are but symptoms of the true doom to come.

• This game will consist of a full campaign, set in the world of Greyhawk, that will take the characters from 1 to 20 on their quest to save a world almost past the point of no return.
• The campaign will take place over a mix of urban, underground, and planar settings, with a splash of outdoor action. If you're looking for a wilderness-based setting, this is probably not the game for you.
• I expect a minimum post frequency of 1/day during weekdays, and once over the weekend.
• We'll be using a system of hero points. Each character will get 4 hero points per level that they may use to modify any rolls they make with an additional D6. I will award additional hero points for instances of especially heroic, or daring actions, as well as for making decisions that while less than optimal, are completely in character. This will take the place of the inspiration system.

To apply, please post a thread with the relevant information in the Character Applications folder.

Number of Players: The ad says 5, but I may trim that to 4, if it makes sense at the time.
Books Allowed Any classes and races from the PHB and DMG are allowed. I'm open to UA material within reason, but clear it with me first.
Ability Scores: We will be using the standard point buy from the rulebook for character creation. Rolling for stats is not allowed.
Bonus Feats: Each character may have 1 free feat at 1st level.
Trait / Drawbacks: Each character will be randomly assigned two campaign specific traits, each of which will come with a mild drawback. You will choose one to keep.
Classes/Archtypes: Please give a basic plan for your character, so that the players as a group may plan a cohesive party around each other.
Alignment: Any non-evil.

At a minimum, your completed application should include:

1. Picture of your character Please include a picture of some sort. Note that this will have absolutely no bearing on your acceptance/rejection. This is ONLY for easy recognition of who is doing what.
2. Link to Character Sheet
3. Alignment
4. Description (A couple of paragraphs.)
5. Personality (A couple of paragraphs.)
6. Background (A page and a half at most. Leave some room here for me to weave the character into the campaign. Also, finish this with a reason for why your character is in the main city at the start of the campaign.)
7. Frequency The post frequency you're willing to commit to.
8. Previous adventure paths you've played in or DM'd
