-CAMPAIGNS-
-RELEASED SOULS-
The continent of Túran is one wrapped in the unknown, even to those residing on it. It's not been long since the place experienced a 600 year period of isolation from the outside world, where areas of civilization across the land were entrapped by strange magical barriers, those who crossed through these walls of light never to be seen again.25 years after The Release, the day barriers fell, a handful of individuals are grouped together for an elven celebration of the event. Too bad things go astray, and this mismatched group finds themselves suddenly stuck together in the middle of political tensions, sent off to find the answers to their strange encounters. It seems they've only been finding more questions to ask, though...

Tiefling
Sniper Ranger
lvl 5 ✧ she/her ✧ 18
Chaotic Good
From the year 989, Scarlet is the daughter of two teachers at a local prestigious university, where she grew up under strict watch from her parents, an overprotectiveness that saw her rarely ever leave the house and area around the college. In her teenage years, growing up educated and reading stories of people’s discoveries out in the wild, she began to feel a call for adventure, and started training as a ranger to one day answer that call. At 18, she finally convinced her parents to let her explore, allowing her to travel for a few months at a time, as long as she writes as often as possible.About a month after adventuring, she stumbles across a mysterious rift in time, space, and reality, and being too curious to not step inside it, ends up 1000 plus years in the future.

ALSMIFFY
Fire Genasi
Great Old One Warlock
lvl 6 ✧ he/him ✧ 27
Chaotic Stupid
As rare as they are in general, there’s an even rarer case of genasi than normal, where a previously inactive elemental gene suddenly appears randomly in a generation, created from an ancestor's contact with a genie or elemental plane. Although his parents may have been human, Alsmiffy is not, instead born a fire genasi from this strange phenomenon. With his family being upper class and in the public spotlight, it left them wanting to hide away this not so normal child.So that is how Smiffy grew up: home alone, left his own devices. Wanting to prove himself to them, he began attempting magic, only to find no luck studying wizardry, or finding his calling with a god to worship. He was close to giving up, until strange dreams of an otherworldly something looming over him began occurring. One day, as a frustrated, tired teenager, he snapped, cursing out his family and lack of freedom. And a voice answered: the being from his dreams, promising a way out.So he had struck a pact, and his mysterious patron had one request: leave his family and find someplace where he’d actually be able to practice. Smiffy headed into the undercity of Evergrove: a place where no one is the norm. Over the years, he managed to learn little about his patron, still an enigma. She insists he call her Mother, and seems...overprotective of her warlockIt’s a shame, isn't it, how over the last month, she hasn’t been around!
MAGISTREX
Human
Battle Master Fighter
lvl 5 ✧ he/him ✧ 38
Neutral Evil
(cw: murder)
Magistex was one of a set of noble twins, heirs to the family line. As children, his brother, Solistrex was more level headed and respected, while he was seen as immature and childish, less favored by his parents As they aged, they argued over who would be the real heir, since only one would have the true title. Magis began to form a complex. As he became jealous of Solis, Solis gained more power over him.Leading up to their eighteen birthday, when the heir would be chosen, Magis...had to do something. he began to plot his brother’s murder. A simple poisoning would do. Blame it on a servant, and he would be given sympathy for his grief. It was foolproof. However, his Solis caught onto his plan, but let it commence, however did not drink the poison as he was supposed to. The night he was supposed to pass, he confronted Magistrex with the evidence of an attempted poison, explaining that he would expose him, and he would be jailed, any chance of him being chosen for heir gone in an instant.However, Solis did not expect the reaction he got.Something in Magis snapped. He suddenly no longer cared about the throne, and only wanted to hurt his brother for ruining his plan. So, in a fit of rage, he grabbed the shortsword resting on a nearby table, brutally murdering Solis. When he came to his senses, he quickly realized no matter what he did, there was no way he would get away with this. So, before the body even cooled, he fled.From there, the most wanted man of the nearby land, he traveled far from his kingdom, cross-continentally, until he reached Túran, and settled in the capital city of Eysenk, where there were no longer wanted posters with his face on it at every corner. Out of money, and unable to be in the public eye, he started getting into shady jobs, eventually invited into an assassin’s guild under the name The Crimson Fray. He’s spent the last eighteen years there, happy enough sleeping and drinking his life away.He’s not dumb enough to use the name Magistrex after what happened, instead going by the title The Ravishing Tyrant, or just Tyrant.Oddly enough, he still holds onto the sword he murdered Solis with, a xiphos with a sapphire encrusted silver hilt, and his original name engraved on the blade.
CHARLES NOVIKOV
Wild Magic Sorcerer
lvl 5 ✧ he/they ✧ Young Adult
True Neutral
A self-proclaimed vagabond, Charles isn’t the kind of person to stick around one place for too long, going where the wind takes him. The things he says about his past never end up sounding very confident, so much of himself is still wrapped in mystery. Strange, how nothing seems to stay consistent with him, isn’t it?At least he has his magic, something he’s fiercely protective of, the one thing that’s stayed true through the years. Now finding himself attached to some people he can start to call friends, the question is, will he resist the instinct to leave familiarity again?
VICTORIA JADARDINS
Human
Light Cleric
lvl 12 ✧ she/her ✧ 32
Neutral Good
(cw: morbid character death)In her mortal life, Victoria was a jack-of-all-trades woman living in 16th century Paris, educated and holding a sense of freedom for her time. This was due to relation with French nobility, part time living at the Palace of Versailles, helping out particularly with maintaining the vast gardens and treating illnesses as an unofficial doctor on the case. Things were cut short for her, though, in 1789, when the French Revolution began, and she was one of the many people tied to the monarchy executed via guillotine.Expecting at least some relief being granted into heaven, from her following of Christianity, things go quite unexpected, as she instead finds herself at the bottom of the nine rings of hell, along with five other recently deceased souls from completely different walks of life, talking of supernatural creatures like they’re a common occurrence, and witchcraft as if it’s a normal phenomenon. Now, they must make their way through these treacherous planes to reach the end- whatever that may be. Victoria’s one solace is a new God that’s answered her call for help, lending her their hand to successfully get her out safe.Turns out the reality she lived was a lot smaller than she once thought.
SOLISTREX OF LUMENOCTIS
Human
College of Whispers Bard
lvl 5 ✧ he/him ✧ ...
Lawful Evil
"Bitch" - Magistrex
(canonically dead, basically. I'll update this properly at some point. Maybe.)
AURORA CHAMBERLAIN
Human
Thief Rogue
lvl 5 ✧ she/her ✧ 16
Chaotic Neutral
(cw: child neglect)“Big happy family” isn’t exactly a term Aurora had understood, for the first ten or so years of her life. She is the daughter of the woman who raised her, but not the daughter of that woman's husband. During the early years of their marriage, Mrs. Chamberlain had a short affair with a newcommoner in their town, briefly a regular at the tavern she worked at from time to time. It was short lived, as the man moved away after less than a month. Her ties to him were not over, though, as a few weeks later she discovered she was carrying his child, one who was not her husband’s. Due to these circumstances, Aurora was born into a household of caregivers who fell out of love, and saw her as a constant burden on them. Both being quite poor, she was often their last priority, and left to stay quiet, as her Mother cursed out the man who brought this upon them.Shortly after she turned ten years old, Mrs. Chamberlain happened to stumble across Aurora’s biological father again. She demanded he take full custody of Aurora, take responsibility for what he left behind. Confused and hurt, Aurora suddenly finds herself with this stranger claiming to be her father, someone she’s never met in her life. He doesn’t seem too happy about it either, unsure how to deal with this consequence he never thought would happen.It takes them quite a long to come to an understanding of each other...
