Out of the Abyss Campaign-Recruiting to replace one(possibly two) players


Recruitment


Pretty much what the title says. Recruiting to replace one, or possibly two, players. Guidelines:

Character Creation:

Use the standard ability score when generating your character (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8)
Your character must be 2nd level, with about 350 xp
If you would like to use homebrew or unearthed arcana, please send me the material:
I have already cleared the Mystic, and That Old Black Magic for use
No evil Alignments

Here is a link to the gameplay, in case you want to look at it.
We try and post as often as we can, preferably once per day, though rl (and at least, on my end, bad internet) can slow stuff down


Looking to fill a specific role, or is any character welcome?


Submitting Gnome wizard, Absalom Mephistopheles, for consideration. If anything is off stats wise, please let me know.

Wasn't sure what to do for backstory, couldn't find any clear guidelines, and I don't know much about the campaign.


The backstory should tell how or why the character wound up in the underdark. As for character role, there is no specific one to fill
Currently, we have a cleric and a rogue who is planning to multiclass into a paladin


Backstory:
Absalom Mephistopheles had been part of a scientific expedition to the Underdark...or, at least to the upper levels of the Underdark. A student at a school of magic whose name he could no longer remember, Absalom had been allowed entrance if only for his understanding of magic. Indeed, during all his time as a student, it seemed he could cast no spell, and had little to no magic in him at all. Still, he was allowed entry and given the opportunity to study, and when the chance came to be a part of a venture to study the organisms near the surface of the Underdark, Absalom jumped at the chance.

Perhaps it was for the best, he'd reflect later in captivity. It had been the trauma of being captured that had awakened the Absalom's true arcane nature. As his desire for freedom grew, power stirred within him. He could feel the world, ready to bend and shape at his command. Soon, magic started to spark from his fingertips, and his drow captors noticed. Not wanting to be killed or further punished, Absalom reached out with a hand, feeling reality bend at his gesture as fire and ice shot from his fingertips.

Freedom quickly became his, as Absalom left, grabbing his spellbook and wand as he ran from his cell into the Underdark. With no guidance or food, it remains to be seen how long he will survive.

Nice backstory. You're chosen, and I have room for one more spot, if any one else wants to join. As for how you'll join, you could be captured by duregar slavers. If you have any other ideas, please pm me! :)


I will give everyone 3 days to post their character

Grand Lodge

Fluff:
Nine Winds who's true name is Akiho Kaze (reverts to true form if said or heard)
Kitsune Nature Warden Druid1 (I will add ranger later)
Nine-Tailed Inheritor (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races)

Nine used to live in a forest village that caught a heavy plauge. She and here family prayed in the village temple, and studyed divine magic together.
One day the King of the Forest demanded a sacrifice of two people, or he would destroy the village. Leaving only destruction in his wake.
The sacrifice was chosen through a lottery. Nine and her father won, but her mother swapped her pebble. Taking Nine's rite of sacrifice in her place.
Nine tried to stop it, but she was powerless under the King's might. Her parent's souls protected her, a made her a Nine-Tailed Inheritor.
She could only use the power to escape his wrath. Days later, a nomadic group of druids walked through her village.
Nine had failed to save her family, but the plauge was lifted. The sound of hacking and coughing was gone, and a fresh breeze blew the smell of sickness.away.
Yet the entire village met to vote on what to Nine. The Druids walked in all four of them in single file weightlessly. The leader is an elf named ...
He said that if they planned to banish Nine, for defiaing the King of the Forest then they'd take her and train her. The village naturally agreed. Nine was 15 years old.
10 years Later~
Nine is now 25 years old. Having meditated for a while, and learning the some of the Druidic arts. Nine had a vision from Gozreh.
She appeared behind Nine, a beautiful women
who was wrapped in wind. She had green hair, and was holding a trident. She said that it was time to go and gain the power of the Storm.
"In order to.defeat your fears," now Nine sets out on her first adventure.

Nature -The Way
Nine is given freedom from her flock by Gozreh. She was used to a discipline as she walked The Path. Nine was saved by an old tradition, and The Path that she walked showed her the value of loyalty. She craves adventure and works to benefit herself and others in order to find power to use it protect her friends. Her connection with Gozreh now gives her the powers of the storm. She holds her neutralty closely. She seeks personal growth, and powerful objects in the underdark.


I've been interested in this story a while, but never made it past level 3. I'm interested in giving it one more go.


Simple character, probably will multiclass fighter.

Background:
Moq Qo Harr (Mock Koe Hare) grew up on the plains of Shaar moving between what was left of the planes and the desolation. The Underdark always loomed, and the sinkholes of the great rift were a vague but constant danger to his tribe. It was exactly that danger that spurred his move underground after something drove the creatures of the dark to the surface to raid his tribe; taking valuables, food, and people underground. Taken against his will, Moq was forced to endure slavery for two years before his tribesmen found him and rescued him and a few others left in the encampment.

Never quite the same, he spent as much time hunting under ground as above. Eventually he went too far and slid down a deep chasm saved only by a cold pool of water. For three months he has tried to find his way in the dark to the light once more.


I am working on a character, I should have said I am throwing my hat into the pool first.


Ok. Will give you one more day :), then post results tomorrow


My character!

Concept:
I am thinking of a character that was the spawn of Tiamat and a Devil. Tiamat wanted to steal hordes of demons to add into her army so she traveled to the nine hells. While there she took on her human form and seduced a demon lord with her power. She knew the spawn would be powerful and would quickly rise in ranks as the son of a royal devil. The abomination turned out to more than she ever could have comprehended.

A Tiefling with bronze dragon origins...

Chosen character:
Mordal Darcrawler (or is it Nameshaper?)

Thanks to everyone for posting their characters! :)
