Just to make sure, are this applications parsed in some automatic way? How much careful do I have to be with the formatting?
At this point, aside from the Character Submit form (and all that does is add your character to a spreadsheet) everything is done by hand. Eventually I want to get rid of the Character Profile and have all, or at least most of the downtime activity done automatically. There would be a downtime form at the various locations with different options depending on that location. A Tavern for instance would have a "Carousing" option on it's form. You set the options, an application would deduct gold and downtime and update your character sheet, but we're a long ways from that. If you look at Malichi. This is what I had in mind in the first place. If you look at Brin Irongear it looks different, but converting to 'g' to 'G' or removing whitespace is trivial so it'll work fine. As long as information is in the right order, either so a DM checking it over manually has an easier time finding stuff or a data scraping application will get everything correctly, it'll be fine.
InkedBee, great start on your Character Profile. Just a couple things that need to be fixed. I don't see "Raw Scores" and I'm not sure where you're getting yours, but it seems a little low (especially when you consider there should be a +2 to CON and +1 to INT as a racial bonus). Next line after Class should be your ASI, either as 2 points added to Ability Scores or as a 1st level Feat. The line after that should be the Sharable Link. The Consent portion looks great. I like the colors. After the last dashed line (which doesn't need the trailing quote mark) you can put anything you like. The picture of Nilvén Zhou should go here (great picture BTW). From there just Submit it and you're ready to go.
You don't actually have any of the Character Profile filled out, just the raw scores and a copy of the instructions for the Profile pasted in. I saw your Character Sheet and it looks really good. I'm hoping you get the Character Profile filled out and Submitted so you can get in on the Adventures in Pphost.
I should mention here that Haven does not have gunpowder. That may change depending on other DMs who join Pphost.
Then, if you are taking your ASI as increases add to the end of text so far either:
"ASI: ***[2]"
and substitute the 3 letter abbreviation used in "Ability Scores" for the asterisks if you are taking both points for one score, or use: "ASI: ***[1] ***[1]"
if you are putting one point to two scores.
If instead, you are taking a 1st level Feat, put the name of that Feat (prerequisites if any are listed after each Feat), copy and paste from the list of 1st level Feats at the bottom of this message, on that line instead of an ASI. If you are using die rolls, remove the 6 spaces between the "/" and "roll" in each of the 6 [/roll] block in the die roll section, then Post it the message (you can still edit it later, just don't edit the die roll section or you may invalidate your PC).
Go to D&D Beyond's Character Creation Method and create your PC. Any official Race, Class, Subclass or Background are acceptable. For nonstandard Backgrounds use the rules in the Players Handbook on page 125. At "3. ABILITIES" use Manual/Rolled option and fill in your raw scores to the abilities you choose. If you are taking the ASI, add the points to "Other Modifier". If you are taking a 1st level Feat, then once the character sheet is finished look for "FEATURES & TRAITs", then "FEATS" and use "Manage Feats" to add it.
Click on the Gear icon by your character's name, which will open up the side panel. Scroll down till you see "Shareable Link" and click on it. Copy the link and Paste it as the next line of your Character Profile. Then add the following, very long section between the two quotes (look carefully for the second one, it's a ways down. Adventure types and Consent must be included) :
Consent notes: As long as it serves {world,story}-building purpose I am ok with it. If it is here just for the "shock value" then I am not really much interested. Example (using gore here):
OK: Party follows bbeg and finds a village recently raided by the bbeg. DM proceeds to describe the scene and the murdered villagers in a gory details.
Not OK: after EVERY combat encounter, DM describes how various bits and pieces of defeated enemies are scattered around the area and are dripping from the players.
Romance notes: I am ok with it as a player, but my character will most likely not pursue it and decline any offers/invitations and won't generaly be interested.
Fill in all the blanks. For consent there is no right or wrong answers. There is no judgement here. The intent is to match you up with players and DMs you’ll have the most fun with. Any GYR left blank will be assumed "Y". Then save your changes. Your profile page is now finished. To submit it, copy the URL of your character sheet (not the shareable link), the copy of your profile page (right click on the number on the right side of the black bar above the entry) and the name of the PC. Click the link below, add them to the form and hit “Submit”. You will be sent a link to the Worlds of Pphost.
It is hoped that this part of the process will become more streamlined, but this is where we start.
Anything below the dashed line is yours to use as you please. It can be a character diary, notes about your character, just left blank or whatever you want. If you include images, put them behind a "spoiler" tag.
Remember, your character will continue in Haven and in the Worlds beyond it, from one adventure to another. Things your character does, buys, builds or creates continues as well. Have fun!

Character description (the main idea): Cyrasil is a follower of Nylea (Theros goddess - or some local equivalent). He is not a missionary style of cleric that would bother with turning the locals into her followers. He is a member of the local community - helps with hunts, asks his goddess for a mild winter and pleasant spring season, protects the village from wild beasts. He also teaches the locals to respect the nature - to hunt when they need food or fur/leather for clothing but not for sport. To cut down trees if they need to build shelters but to also plant new trees if they do so etc. He prefers to live in a smaller villages, away from the large cities. As part of the downtime, I would like him to create some druidic circle or some similar type of "stronghold" eventually. He would be a true neutral trending towards good.
In combat he uses a longbow and light/medium armor.
Can I change the starting equipment somehow? Wanna get rid of the mace and shield and get a bow instead.
It's looking like a choice between getting "enough up to start" and it being a really good idea that never actually happen, so I'm going to go with this. Tonight I'm not even going to look at my laptop for a change, then tomorrow work on approving Character Profiles and the finishing touches to the first Adventure "Wilderness Patrol". It's an experiment/introduction to see if this contraption actually works. I should be able to handle 5-6, tier 1 PCs and last roughly 1 month (4 game days). Somehow I missed including this so far, so here it is. This is the system for PC progression:
Each advancement check corresponds to 2 weeks of real time PbP, which equals 2 days game time and gives you 12 days downtime.
1st level to 2nd level = 2 checks 2nd level to 5th level = 4 checks per level 5th level to 20th level = 8 checks per level 20th level to 26 level = 10 checks per level*
*Characters may continue gaining levels to 26 through multiclassing.
Characters keep coin, treasure and magic items they acquire in adventures
The other test Adventure I'm working on (and I'm not as close to having finished) is "Weekend at a Tavern" and will take place over 1 month (a weekend game time). On this Thread, message #13 will be a link to all the Worlds of Pphost. Right now it's just Haven and that link is live (and here as well just for convenience). The next location I plan to finish is the Copper Dragon Tavern in the Scholars, since that's where "Weekend" will take place, but if there are areas you'd like to see developed sooner than later, let me know. Oh, and try reading the Notices on the Bulletin Board (Spoiler, "Founder's Day will be happening Eleint 30 and Marpenoth 1 (you figure it out). It'll be a 2 weeks/2 day "Adventure" for up to 50 players (not a typo)).
InkedBee, great start on your Character Profile. Just a couple things that need to be fixed. I don't see "Raw Scores" and I'm not sure where you're getting yours, but it seems a little low (especially when you consider there should be a +2 to CON and +1 to INT as a racial bonus).

From there just Submit it and you're ready to go.
Noted Captain! I will try to fix everything as soon as possible.
Edit: It's been fixed, see post #18. Do I have to submit the application again through the link?
@TechnoPagan I wish to run a game thread based on your concept in future, so I might need to apply for the DM profile. For now, I'm going to observe how things are going on.
Looks really good. You don't need the racial bonus on the Profile. The DnD Character Creation will take care of that automatically. Just remove that and submit it. Yuan-Ti Pureblood should be interesting.
Looking good so far. Raw scores should be the top line. Also if you could take out the extranious quotes and the blank line, everything else is good. No need to resubmit. If you could delete that other post, that would be great, otherwise don't worry about it.
I want to thank you all for bearing with me through all this. I hope it all turns out to be worth it. This is where we start to find out. I hope you've looked around what's available of Haven so far, especially the Bulletin Board in the Market Place and have tried to read the notices there. As more and more locations go up, there will be options for reading information in most of them but the Bulletin Board will always be a good place to check. Plus I hope to have it fixed soon so that you can post notices there are well as just reading them. The Notice for Wilderness Patrol is finished and has the link to the Session 0 post (and is here just to make it easier, but please, just make sure you know where it is and how to read the notices there).

That would be wonderful. Let me know if I can answer any question for you.
That would be wonderful. Let me know if I can answer any question for you.
I'd like to borrow a place for the campaign setting from the cluster of buildings in location-1 (The Officials), do you create battle maps? Besides, the Underdark seems nasty enough for three other settings. I can send all of the concepts through a private message since writing them down here might spoil the adventures.
To be honest, I don't have any experience to run a game as a DM, but I'm serious about lores and ideas, basically I might need assistance.
Just to make sure, are this applications parsed in some automatic way? How much careful do I have to be with the formatting?

Wip sorry for the posts. finally figured out what i did wrong.
Looks really good. You don't need the racial bonus on the Profile. The DnD Character Creation will take care of that automatically. Just remove that and submit it. Yuan-Ti Pureblood should be interesting.

Looking good so far. Raw scores should be the top line. Also if you could take out the extranious quotes and the blank line, everything else is good. No need to resubmit. If you could delete that other post, that would be great, otherwise don't worry about it.

I want to thank you all for bearing with me through all this. I hope it all turns out to be worth it. This is where we start to find out. I hope you've looked around what's available of Haven so far, especially the Bulletin Board in the Market Place and have tried to read the notices there. As more and more locations go up, there will be options for reading information in most of them but the Bulletin Board will always be a good place to check. Plus I hope to have it fixed soon so that you can post notices there are well as just reading them. The Notice for Wilderness Patrol is finished and has the link to the Session 0 post (and is here just to make it easier, but please, just make sure you know where it is and how to read the notices there).
Have fun!

I'd like to borrow a place for the campaign setting from the cluster of buildings in location-1 (The Officials), do you create battle maps? Besides, the Underdark seems nasty enough for three other settings. I can send all of the concepts through a private message since writing them down here might spoil the adventures.
To be honest, I don't have any experience to run a game as a DM, but I'm serious about lores and ideas, basically I might need assistance.
