I meant for you all to make your own parties, but I can assign them as well, if that's what you like.

I was more asking who was available, honestly.

I have ideas for two styles of character.

A Mage-Priest and a Warrior-Mage-Priest. (My mind has been corrupted by a certain rpg series. I must beg apologies.)

First, Mage-Priest:

  Reveal hidden contents

The Mage-Priest would be an octogenarian type character, but be possessed of a significant and wide array of magical ability. Include Sacred Magic things such as healing and stuff. The array is key to this one, I think.

The Warlock supertype would not be what I’d want, flavor wise. Would it be possible for this guy to be a Mage… and a Priest, not intertwined? As in, having learned Arcane Magic as a mage, and then later been bequeathed with Sacred Magic?

A possibility for this would be some kind of Arcane-aligned Divine entity having seen this magical affinity within this guy, and lended him that which he lacked. However, an Arcane-aligned entity would most likely not be able to grant things like healing magic, which I would desire in this character. (The Great Sage Tellah needs to be channeled, y’see.)

However, if it were not an Arcane-aligned Divine being, then for what reason would it give its power? Perhaps because it would know he wished to do good? But such a thing is unusual, for a Priest dedicates themselves to a Divine being much as the Mage dedicates themselves to study. This guy would not be dedicated to a Divine being, and thus would probably not warrant the attention of one. Unless it is decreed that this particular Arcane-aligned entity also happens to have an affinity for healing/support-aligned Sacred Magic.

I understand that a repertoire of the magnitude I desire is probably asking for too much, however. (‘What do you mean you want a mage who can do everything?’ True.)

Which brings me to the second concept, probably more acceptable in scope. Warrior-Mage-Priest:

  Reveal hidden contents

I’m tempted to do a Red Mage-esque concept, but that presents all the problems as above, but weaker in magic and slightly more physical ability. Instead, I shall make something that perhaps aligns more with the Wayfarer ethos. Rune’Othas time.

Basically, magic would be channeled through these set of magical runes emblazoned upon their body. By spending a certain amount of time, they can change to what these magic these runes provide. Like enhancing physical abilities, mental abilities or specific skills, maybe reinforcing a specific type of magic available to them over others. (Maybe… is that also too broad? Uncertainty.)

Last thing. Dwelf. Elf/Dwarf hybrid. Totally feasible, right? Even if there’s an Elf/Dwarf cultural feud thing going on. Sordid affairs happen all the time, especially if the elf is, like, a type of mountain or cave elf. I got the urge to make one. Someone who, at a glance, kinda seems human, but their ears are weird and maybe they’re a little short, who knows. Endless possibility.

Have you decided yet?

@Argenti

Could you make a second sheet? I'm lowkey lost in the sauce. Here's your old one.
 

Spoiler

Name: Evitarran Yrots nicknamed Evitar

Species: Starry Dragonborn

Class: Paladin

Magic Item (you get one based off your backstory.): Elder Staff. A staff gifted by his patron, aids in his Eldritch magic. Can be summoned and unsummoned like a shardblade. Also allows for more efficient communication with his patron. Also allows for occasional communication with other patrons.

Appearance: A black scaled dragonborn with white specks that look like stars.

Connections with other characters: None, he just entered town.

Backstory (I WANT AT LEAST THREE SENTENCES PREFERABLY MORE): Grew up in Starfind, with a family of Starry Dragonborns. In a terrible accident in one of the Eldritch Wars, his whole family died. He was taken in by an Eldritch god named Laerehte and Larehte became his patron. Has Eldritch Sacred Magic.

Kingdom (make something up, we're in a place vaguely German. Give it a little description): Starfind, the Eldritch star kingdom.

Skills: Is a proficient warrior. Trained in using the staff along with his Eldritch powers.

Magical Quirks: Starry Dragons have illusory magic instead of a breath weapon. The Eldritch Sacred Magic can summon an Eldritch creature to aid him, an eldritch blast, and can do some Demonic Magic.

Both would be broadly acceptable- we'll see about the mage who can do anything. If you can get up with a nice, solid theme for the god-thingy, it's probably fine.

Wayfinder's aren't strictly supposed to be able to channel magic into themselves-but honestly since not a single paladin here did that, I can just give that to wayfinder.

@Spark of Hopewho is your character bonded to? I never asked, I think.

Also allows for more efficient communication with his patron. Also allows for occasional communication with other Eldritch Gods. When communicating with these other Eldritch Gods, he can, with their permission, create a temporary and limited power Patron Connection with the Eldritch God.

Appearance: A black scaled dragonborn with white specks that look like stars. He has a strange staff that seems to be made out of the night sky itself (think highspren) and is constantly shifting in apearance. You can't tell if he has any supplies with him, it all seems to somehow blend in to his shifting scales. He has small wings that he prefers to be tucked in, as to not be seen.

Connections with other characters: Has a friednship with @Kaladin Stormcursed's character. Has a natural charm to make most beings that dislike his kind warm up to him. However, due to his natural strangeness, the warming up can only ever go so far.

Backstory (I WANT AT LEAST THREE SENTENCES PREFERABLY MORE): Grew up in Starfind, with a family of Starry Dragonborns. In a terrible accident in one of the Eldritch Wars, his whole family died. He was taken in by an Eldritch god named Laerehte and Laerehte became his patron. Has Eldritch Sacred Magic. Laerehte is the Eldritch God of Tales and Stories, and has good relationships with most of the Eldritch Gods. He has many lesser Eldritch Gods under his command. Evitar is the most favored of his disciples.

Kingdom (make something up, we're in a place vaguely German. Give it a little description): Starfind, the Eldritch star kingdom. Some say it is infinitely wide. This has yet to be proven false. When you speak the word Starfind with intent to mean the kingdom, it is always automatically translated into anyone's ears who is listening.

Skills: Is a proficient warrior. Trained in using the staff along with his Eldritch powers.

Magical Quirks: Starry Dragons have illusory magic instead of a breath weapon. The Eldritch Sacred Magic of Laerehte is TBD by @Argenti

I was thinking of a minor god of knowledge, focused upon the spreading of knowledge, fostering civilization and educating the masses. A god focused on the benefits of knowledge, as it were. Healing and support-based Sacred Magic could be justified by a connection to things like the advancement of medicine.

I had thought that as well, but I felt that that concept would be more leaning into the magical generalist aptitude, and therefor fulfilling the same role a rogue or a bard might.

You've been bonded to a God of the Kobolds, Zolpi'Vok'Sneppo, kobold god of Protection. Now it's kobold protection, so he's really just tricking everyone into not attacking.

How about this. The staff can communicate with anything Eldritch, and the communicated things can be summoned, as long as they are below a certain power requirement. The power requirement can be breached, but a punishment is given proportionate to the amount of power breached.

When communicating with these other Eldritch Gods he can create, with their permission, a Eldritch Pact. The Eldritch Pact is a temporary and low level version of making them their patron. The staff can also generate Eldritch Contracts in which there are multiple types. Each Eldritch Contract has a different way to enforce the details of the contract. The Staff can also summon Eldritch Gods that have been made contact, but over a certain level of power, a punishment proportionate to the exceeding power of the Eldritch God.

Okokok

Imma use a character sheet format

Name: Anathema, Plaguebringer

Description: Powerful nature Fey, trickster. Deals in microorganisms and fungi instead of plants and animals. Is generally disliked and or hated by the other Fey. She was, in fact, exiled from amongst the Fey. A few major plagues were caused by her, while the resulting cures were also caused by her. Unbeknownst to the victims, any survivor of her plagues was ever so slightly stronger.

Manifestation: She rarely appears directly or in person, rather preferring to manifest her thoughts directly through the virus.
