Funnily enough Aurora also grew up on the streets of Sharn. So it could be possible for them to know each other as well.

Sounds like Charm is covered. Shem will just be a loner.

Could you allow custom 5e sheets, @JoshuaMabry? I like to have my character sheet here as close to the DNDBeyond one as possible. Eryx will happily smile in a bad guy's face while Shem stabs them in the back.

@annex Custom sheets should be allowed. They’re listed on the game details page.

If any y’all have a great idea for organizing spells on the custom sheets, hit me up please. I’ve added some headers to my sheet, cantrips/domain/prepared, but you might see it’s kinda all over the place. Thx.

Given the details, I went with Jyn to provide more contrast with Charm's small person, a big armored sister works well. However, Charm grew up the daughter of merchant traders, not on the street. Then she woke up one day alone, in a strange place, with strange powers and in the time since (she doesn't keep track of time or memories very well), had to live on her own until Jyn took her under her wing.

Maybe Charm stepped in to help (or even save) Jyn when she was jumped, maybe Jyn stepped in to help Charm when she was cornered by a gang, one way or the other (the story changes depending on who is telling it and where), Jyn's been acting as Charm's unofficial guardian.

Along with Twilight Sparkle and Thule of course.

Is there a particular place you want our completed backgrounds to go, @JoshuaMabry?

If you could add them to the D&D Beyond sheet that would be great.

...and he's applied!

And he’s approved!

Mine pretty much look like yours, sorry. :P

No worries.

OK, that's 7. Ready when you are boss.

No Shem/Eryx dynamic duo @timplausible ? The mouth in front distracting from the blade behind?

That's not generally Shem's style, but he's always open to new ideas.

Well, so much for the buddy system. :P

Hey folks, I'd like to propose some house rules and procedures.

I'd like to roll perception checks for you so I don't have to call for it and wait for you to roll.

Same with initiative. I think, especially as there are seven of you, this will speed up combat.

Lastly I'd like to roll your stealth checks. I find it keeps a little of the suspense in the game if I do this.

What do you all think of these?

Works for me, boss.

Whatever works best for you.
