Deep in a complex of unexplored and hidden away passages, roughly hewn from mud and stone, lies a civilization of great intrigue. A place that an innumerable amount of bewildering creatures call home. The meaning of the term, 'melting pot' is truly shown here, whether it be from the markets of many a Gremlin purveying goods, to the mighty Draltha's who use their great size as a taxi service. Dozens of cultures mix, swirl, and thrive in Understreets, and while it is a poor district the liveliness hides that fact well. Those from the Stone Wall are of the middle class, their homes built into a structure of immense size, obvious due to the name. That's right, here in the great open caves is a barrier of impossible proportion, surrounded by those of lower birth. However, within the walls many noble's hold their noses high and lodge sticks up their asses. But in the center of it all, a palace of immeasurable wealth. A spire of seemingly eldritch black stone juts out from below far above into the shadowy overhangs of the cavern. Upon a throne of blue metal, a tyrannical king cackles on about his subjects. Dark secrets are well hidden within the great city of Deepholm!

Together, you and your friends have just created a super secret club, hidden only in a location you know! It'll need a name and a leader of course, unless you are one of those weird 'everyone's equal' types but first, who exactly were you again?
Name:
Gender:
Age: (Due to the different lifespans of different creatures, it might be best to stick a general idea 'round here)
Appearance: (These beings can be just as varied as any surface dweller! A size in Urists would be helpful as well!)
Skills: (General idea of what you are good at)
Backstory: (I'd like to see what you peoples can come up with, and am looking forward to wonderfully stories!)
(Hey there! I sure hope I got a few peoples attention, I really enjoy the idea of all these cavern dwellers living together, though not always in harmony. originally I wanted to include only the tiny creatures, thus the name, but I just couldn't help it so here we are. I'd like to see descriptiveness here, and to really see what you can do with the story. Which of course will be very mailable to the decisions you guys make, I'd like for you to help me shape the world you live in. Make stuff up! Have fun! Oh and tell me if you are unclear on something!)
(It should be said that I am not keen on running a game for a large group, thus if there happens to be quite more than a few applicants, than I'll take precedence over those of more descriptive and intriguing backgrounds. Hope you understand!)
