DnD 5E - if you've fucked up and have nowhere to go you can always SEIZE THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN
The gods have watched over this world since this world was born. As long as we can remember, generations stretching back, years without count.
They are wise, grand, glorious and just. They are creatures who sprang fully forged from the ether, given form by mortal minds, here to guide us through our lives.
Do not defy the gods. Do not question the gods. They hold our world in their hands.
(They are inscrutable and cryptic, capricious and merciless. To challenge them in combat, to topple them alone, would be suicide and folly.
But there is more than one way to kill a god.)
You are the cursed, the forsaken, already scorched by the power of the divine. There is nothing left for you.
So there's nowhere to go but up.
The setting:
Technology wise, your standard DnD fare! Character-wise, literally anything. Do you want to play something from the monster manual? Sure let's work it out. If it's got a statblock I can finagle into a reasonable PC sheet, we'll do it.
What I need from you:
Name/plurk name:
Character concept:
The nature of your curse: This is an all-original pantheon, so feel free to elaborate on which god exactly did this to you. You don't have to name them or anything, I can do that fine, but if you've got your heart set on a particular thematic then I will not deny you.
Magic item to start with: I expect you to break my puzzles over your knee so I'm giving you a head start. One item to start with of your choice. I reserve the right to veto anything that's a bit too multipurpose OP, be creative.
Availability:
Anything else you want to tell me:

Name/plurk name: Foxfire, [Bad username or unknown identity: MadarFoxfire=plurk.com]
Character concept: Current druid, former god of the wild hunt, reborn in the body of a mortal being and attempting to bring back their murder cult. It's less outright evil than you'd expect from a murder cult, they do absolutely murder people but they are very much about worthy prey and not preying on the weak and helpless WHICH LEADS TO THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF OUR HERO'S LONG LIFE:
The nature of your curse: Forced into a weak human body by the moon god, for the crime of killing and eating the moon god. Apparently they can do some top tier reincarnation bullshit on the right moon phase so it didn't stick. Technically not exactly cannibalism, she was previously a massive nightmare wolf. Due to the reverse werewolf aesthetic I'm going for, once wildshape is a thing she won't be able to do it on full moons.
Magic item to start with: A faded green ribbon. She can see through the eyes of any animal that's wearing it.
Availability: I'm free all summer but when September hits it will be 7pm-midnight EST Mon-Thur, and just about any time weekends.
Anything else you want to tell me: I want to live my Dungeon Meshi dreams and eat so many monsters
