Why you like D&D: Fantasy is awesome. And making friends with people of common interest
One fun fact: Space nerd
Character concept: Tortle fighter. Former staff sergeant of a small military group (private military group) that protects the trade route between cities. A & B.(You pick the route and cities) Retired after 10 years of service. He left his service on good terms.
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? Because of physics. aerodynamics and how the ball interacts with the ground upon contact. Also, fuzzy things are cute.
It's super fun, my dad used to play 3.5 e and it's a great way to make friends
I like to draw :)
I can fill any role needed, but a character I wanted to play is a half elf paladin who has interesting relationships with her family because they're a bunch of thieves and she chose the religious and lawful good lifestyle. I also have a taxabi monk with a hearing impairment due to some loud freaking explosions in another dungeon adventure.
Balls are so lame because they have one specific purpose, to bounce. So they decided to make it more interesting.
D&D exp: Long time listener first time caller haha. I am new to DnD but I've been watching games for a couple of months now
Why you like D&D: i love to be challenged and explore new adventures and settings. I also like meeting other creative people and creating a story together.
One fun fact: i grew up watching tennis with my mom and now i try to play at least once per week with friends. My dog's toy bin is full of fuzzy tennis balls.
Character concept: I'd like to play support/healer characters. A concept i am working on is a Druid who never fit in growing up so their attention naturally went into stargazing and charting the cosmos
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? It gives the balls an amazing taste and texture that dogs love. Thats why tennis balls are dog's favorite toy to play catch with.
D&D exp: I think I've got some good experience with the 5e system and understand it well.
Why you like D&D: Free form and a great place to solve problems in alternative ways.
One fun fact: Methamphetamine is a legal substance and can be prescribed and picked up at pharmacies.
Character concept: Really vibing with sorcerers right now. Clockwork soul sounds really fun with a warforged tied to the plane of Mechanus. Sent to readjust an imbalance that would otherwise ruin the synchronicity of order. Shadow sorcerer human who is willing to do wrongs for an ultimate higher goal. Achieved powers through a ritual alongside his mentor, who was sacrificed to complete the spell. Seeing the party more of a convenient way to have protection and access to more places. Nothing like betraying the party "haha I was evil all along." Paladin dedicated to beauty. Striving to create great works of art both on canvas and of themselves. Becoming the very ideals that propelled them, and to inspire those around to do the same.
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? Some say the fuzz is to help with traction on the court, but I know the truth. The fuzz is placed on tennis balls so my dalmatian could pull it off and become immediately uninterested in tennis balls forever.
I don't know if this is unorthodox or not, but I would like to bring my sister along. If not, please ignore this post.

Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? So that my dog can tear it off and shred it over the house, yellow confetti is in fact the best decoration according to Nuadha.
Exp.: 30 years off and on TTRPG various settings, 6 months + online.
Why? - It can be a collaborative experience where a dynamic interaction between the DM and the players create a unique world with a vibrant storyline that allows everyone to have an enjoyable experience, especially in groups where everyone respects each other and the time set aside for the game while still having fun.
Fun Fact: 1st Edition had a table for the various types of prostitutes and pimps you might encounter.
Character Concept: Kyton Tiefling Profane Soul, LN, spells are metal based, along the lines of a Metal Sorcerer from Warhammer. Is willing to accept assistance from worshippers of Belial using Shelter of the Faithful in extreme circumstances, but believes there is a finite amount of suffering in the world, and the more he inflicts on wrong-doers the better.
Fuzz on a tennis ball: Because that's what happens when it reaches a certain age.
D&D exp: 5 years as DM, about 15 hours as a player.
Why you like D&D: Creating a story with other people, roleplay, experiencing a world, cool combat.
One fun fact: I once carved a pretty decent wooden duck just to see if I could.
Character concept: Depending on discussion with the group / session zero... but the two I'd really love to play are a bookworm barista warlock on a mission from God or a puzzle-loving human rogue/cleric trying to unlock the mysteries of the stars.
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? Probably to make them easier to grip... or to make them stand out from other balls. I don't think I've ever seen another fuzzy ball.
Why you like D&D: It allows me to express myself, have fun, and practice talking on the spot.
One fun fact: Birds can sit on power lines because they are only touching the wire.
Character concept: A "Human"(Unknowingly a half-orc from an affair her mother had) barbarian noble with a taste for fist fighting. Her "father", started spending more than he earned so she started looking for ways to make money, her friend introduced her to betting on fights, but she quickly became more interested in fighting than betting. Her fighting is something she keeps from her family. Her goal is to earn enough money to get her family out of their debt.
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? The fuzz is actually a special sensory organ that is used to detect predators using air currents, unfortunately, the wizard that created them did not give them a way to escape from predators, although many believe that this was on purpose. For what reason someone made a creature that can sense its demise but can never escape it, we will never know.
D&D exp: I've been heaviliy invested for about 2 years now. Although I've barely gotten a chance to play.
Why you like D&D: I love creating characters and roleplay, also fantasy stuff is just always great!!
One fun fact: I haven't played a game of DnD without doodeling one of, or several of the characters.
Character concept: A goblin Artificer (maybe from Xhorhas? if you're doing Wildemount.) whos like his tribes golden child and got a lot of support from his goblin parents to pursue building things.
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? Its a mutated form of Mimic, obviously.
Why you like D&D: I love getting to experience new stories that I can reminisce about with my fellow nerds. Those nerds being good friends I've made by playing in campaigns and keeping in touch even after it has come to an end. To rehash what a food critic once said to a chef being controlled by a rat: I don't just like [D&D], I love it.
One fun fact: I make a mean pot of curry. Spices in the air will make you cry if the taste doesn't.
Character concept: A vedalken (or human) wizard that is trying to achieve the deeper secrets of magic in order to make the lives of others easier. The second concept is a barbarian that is trying to restore his tribe's long lost honor after having it stripped by an ancestral sin.
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball?: Guess the manufacturers preferred balls with hair. Get it... cause balls and hair and... testicles, I'm talking about testicles.
D&D exp: Played in around 4 big campaigns and a few mini/one shots
Why you like D&D: Well it started off as a good time with friends, and in that engraved itself on me. Also, its fun to have a vastly more open game compared to a lot of other ones. I will say I like the roleplay aspect even though none of my campaigns so far have had that much of it.
One fun fact (don't know how this missed the copy paste): Did you know a player has played and scored for both teams in the same NBA game.
Character concept: Open to playing a lot of types, but latest concept is a bard that is out looking to partake and write a tale of legends about himself or herself (not settled detail). Willing to get involved in all sorts of trouble, in search of a tale that will last for ages. In terms of backstory specific hooks, I would need to work with ya on helping, most campaigns either don't have room for them (curse of strahd) or didn't get to become a big thing cause the party had already gotten hook on a big plot (late joins).
Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball? Well I would guess its probably something to do with what the original ball was made from, or helps add consistency.
