Dungeon Overlords vs Adventurers! (Dungeonbuilding, 5e D&D, NC-Exotic)

[Sethala]

I think I'm going to go with a pair of adventurers for now, and perhaps come up with the details for my overlord later.  Gonna go with a paladin and sorcerer that are sisters, both Tabaxi.  Pic ideas for them:

Renny approves, so long as he's allowed to chase them a bit.

[Guancyto]

Hmm, why not. Let's keep it simple for the first one, shall we?

Character name: Senna Etheran
Overlord or Adventurer: Adventurer
Background: The scandalous, black sheep princess of the Etheran kingdom who had the gall to go on living after the rest of the royal family all became vampires (starting with her mother Jahanara, the queen regnant)... but that is a story for another day. Today is a day for ransacking dungeons! Her pipe dream is to find a cure for vampirism so everything can go back to normal and she can go back to being a princess. A more realistic dream is to amass enough magic and power to be able to put up a fight if one of her sisters comes calling with the intent of putting a leash on her. Seriously, fun the first few times, gets real old.
Expected posting rate: Three times a week (every other day-ish) is a pace I can deal with.
O/O: The listed ones are fine, although body modification isn't really my thing so I'd prefer it in moderation.

Class: Fighter
Race: Variant Human
Style: Dueling

Features:
Weapon Style (Dueling): +2 to weapon damage while wielding a weapon in one hand.
Heavy Armor Master (Feat): Add +1 to Strength. While wearing heavy armor, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage that you take from non-magical weapons is reduced by 3.
Position of Privilege: Thanks to your noble birth, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to.

Hey, sorry if I'm being a bother but just wondering if it was okay I post Yenril in the characters and start posting IC?  I have Aspergers so tend to misunderstand at times so just want to make sure instead of assume.

Yes, it is ok :)

Markov
Adventurer?

Background: Some years ago, Markov's arm was hacked off as he fought rearguard to cover his party's retreat. Despite being left for dead, he managed to drag himself to a pocket of relative safety, cauterising his wound in flaming coals of a brazier. Weakened as he was, he spent weeks in that hellhole, before he had built up his strength enough to attempt an escape. The man who finally left that dungeon was a far cry from the bright eyed youth who had first entered. Gaunt and morose, but hardened, tempered by the experience. Changed. His once black hair now greyed from the ordeal, and in place of his missing arm, he sported a new right hand, glowing blood red with primordial demon magic, won from the dungeon master itself.

Expected posting rate: Every few days to daily, depending on my work roster and engagement level

O/Os: I'm generally fond of most stuff. Markov will probably be a sadist, taking pleasure in the suffering of his enemies, and his companions alike. In particular, I'm a big fan of bondage, enslavement, and sadism, particularly in extended, duress type situations, though I'm less interested in monsters, pregnancy, and body modification(demonic arms notwithstanding).

Betrayal: Markov definitely isn't Mr Nice Guy. I can see him being open to corruption by dungeon masters under the right conditions, though that could be a dangerous game, as there's every chance he'd simply decide to take over their position too. He'd typically act in his own self interest. I see his as a somewhat neutral force, equally likely to side with the dungeon masters as his fellow adventurers. I don't expect the other adventurers to willingly go along with this, with them either being coerced, or unaware of his true nature most of the time.

System: I'm not really familiar with dnd 5e, so it'll take me a little while to get my head around it, and post a sheet. I'd appreciate the help if anyone has any suggestions on how to turn my concept into a sheet.

What kind of abilities would you like to have? Magical, or more of a fighter kind of guy?

Looks ok, approved

[Sethala]

Figured I'll toss this in here for now, using the art I linked earlier in the thread.  I'll work on a full character sheet soon; does anyone have a template I could copy?

- Character names: Kyoko (Paladin) and Kimiko (Sorceress)
- Overlord or Adventurer: Adventurers
- Some short description/backstory for your char: Kyoko and Kimiko were members of the Golden Haven clan of Tabaxi.  Several years ago, their tribe was attacked and scattered, leaving the two young sisters to fend for themselves.  Not long after, they found their way to a small temple that agreed to take them in and train them.  Since then, Kyoko has trained in the arts of battle and has become a paladin, while Kimiko learned to control her innate sorcerous power.  Now, the two have set out to find the dungeons talked about by townspeople, eager to help those who helped them so long ago.
- Expected posting rate (so you can be paired with ppl who have similar rate): Probably once or twice a week.
- If you are ok at least with the O/O mentioned above, and to what degree (for pairing reasons again): I'd prefer to not have any "game over" bad ends, where my characters vanish completely.  If my partner wants to write out an extended bad end scene, or has plans for my girls that would keep them involved (e.g. turn them to evil and have them fight against other heroes), I'm fine with that, but I don't want a scene where they're killed or otherwise never heard from again.  Of course, I'm fine with some sort of lasting effect after they leave the dungeon, especially if it's something lewd or sexy.  I'd also like to avoid pregnancy, but beyond that, I like the other smut ideas.

Are you still looking for adventurers? I DM for my friends but am itching to play again

[Vergil1989]

I think we're always looking for people, so by all means. 

[Bene]

Awesome! I will probably roll my char and then jump in after watching. I've been in a group game on here so truthfully I am not too sure how they work .-.

Background: Ebthor grew up on the streets and punched people and things for money to buy things like food. His father was some lesser fiend and mother died giving birth. No orphanage near his home city would take him so he became stole what he needed and soon learned he had a talent for punching things. He soon grew to be the champion of a small fighting ring and has now decided to find stronger things to punch.

I'm interested in the succubus' dungeon if Vergil likes my characters.  Has anyone signed up for that one yet?

The character concepts I'm thinking of playing are a statuesque blonde knight (NSFW) with a halberd (yes, I know the NSFW image shows her with a sword) and her loyal, crossbow wielding servant girl (NSFW).  But I can probably come up with another character or two if a larger party is needed to challenge the dungeon.

[Vergil1989]

While I'd prefer more than one person attacking my Dungeon, i'd be happy to have a few people show up for it.    I'm more just against the idea of one person running four characters for a single dungeon, but beyond that I'd be happy to have you Daril.  Just get your sheets together and I'm sure Aenon will approve you.

Welcome back Daril. It's been a while. Incidentally I have another dungeon if you'd want to have your girls try your hand at that in time.

[Daril]

How do these this look?

I will try to at least get a post up every few days.  Regarding O/Os, I tend to view Maria as a closet bisexual and masochist.  I figure she can either be treated roughly (pillories, spanking, wooden horses, servicing her captors to protect Rose) or forced to swallow her pride and give in to the pleasure.  Given that Zaria is a succubus the latter might be the better option.

Welcome back Daril. It's been a while. Incidentally I have another dungeon if you'd want to have your girls try your hand at that in time.

Unfortunately I'm not sure lizardmen are quite as much to my taste, but thanks for the offer (and for the welcome back -it has been a while!).

[Laughing Hyena]

Unfortunately I'm not sure lizardmen are quite as much to my taste, but thanks for the offer (and for the welcome back -it has been a while!).

About a years time at least. Anyway it's not just lizard man and such for my own adventure. The game allows us a good amount of freedom in the monsters and methods we can use as overlords. But for now, you are right, it is very much reptiles and scaled humanoids. Aenon will have to approve your characters of course but Im pretty certain the adventures are always in demand. Enjoy the game.

[Daril]

@Vergil

Although I'm not approved yet, I have been following the player OOC thread.  Like Guancyto, I'm not keen on the whole being drained to death thing and would much prefer it if the succubus manages her stock so she can drain them over and over.  Might even have some potential for humor -Maria being oh so serious about playing the heroic knight expects to be drained to death, only to find that the succubus has other plans for her.

[Vergil1989]

As I said in the OOC, I understand if most people aren't interested in being drained to death. 

[Daril]

Should clarify one thing with those profiles: I am thinking that Maria's tabard and Rose's tunic are enchanted with protective spells and serve as a form of armor.  The garments provide an AC boost equivalent to that of a chain shirt (chosen because its the best starting armor that doesn't give disadvantage on stealth checks).

(They both have second wind too)

Adventurer: Sazhira Frostburn

Lvl 1 Pink Dragonborn Sorceress(Draconic)
Background: Outlander
Backstory: Sazhira was born to a beautiful human princess and at first everyone thought she was a human too, including her mother who never thought there would be a reason to tell her the truth about her inheritance but in fact she was never a human. When she grew up some signs began to show on Sazhira body, starting with her back, but her mother secretly used magic to keep them hidden but as years passed she would not be able to hide any longer that Sazhira was a dragonborn. In fact Sazhira's mother was a polymorphed dragon who tired of her boring human prince husband had an affair with a dragon that lived in the mountains and when the truth was discovered Sazhira could stay. To make things even worse Sazhira's parents were not even the same kind of dragon, while her mother was a white dragon her father was a red one and proud as he was of his race he was not willing to adopt a dragonborn, who was not a pure dragon, even less considering she clearly was not of pure red breed as her pink scales immediately gave away. Forced to live in exile with just enough possessions to defend herself Sazhira wandered the lands on her own to become an adventurer.
