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:

no subject
Character concept: A ranger who lives alone in the forest due to being a weird, bitter old recluse and also a werewolf. Uses bows and rangery stuff because she's trying to pass for human and hates transforming. I have some plot hooks in mind for this one because I'm always a slut for Reveals.
The nature of your curse: Being a werewolf. She got cursed after killing another hunter who was under the protection of a panther-headed hunting god for some ritual purposes. She had a good reason.
Magic item to start with: I don't know actually!
Availability: I don't know which games will be running when this does, but assuming Valor Corps wraps up before then and I don't jump into anything new that conflicts with these... I'm free on Saturdays starting at around 7 PM EST, and starting at 10 PM EST Monday through Thursday.
Anything else you want to tell me: I have no idea what I'm doing!
