Sorry I'm posting so much, but to clarify, it is okay to use physical dice when creating our characters, right? I'm okay with the dice bot in game, but I really like using actual dice for the character. Let me know if not and I will adjust.
Also, any particular deities of this world? Good to know for clerics and celestial warlocks (I am working on a couple builds to see what I like best).
I have added some brief information about different locations that can be found on the world map as well as some world history. Please look it over and use what ever you would like for your backstory. As long as it does not contradict anything that I have built into the world, you may add other towns and locations within the world as needed.
In addition to your backstory, the game will begin in a place on Estren known as the Golden Oak. Particularly, in the town of Vallerond. The area is used as a crossroads between the three major towns of Port Haven, Alune, and the Kingdom of Taliven. You will need a reason for your character to be in that location. I can help with this if you give me some information on a current goal, quest, travel your character is on.
For anyone who still needs to work on their background story, I highly suggest using the knives theory that I linked to on the first page. It really helps to add a lot of story for me to add into the narrative. Also, do not forget to have a reason your character would currently be in/around Golden Oak or at least a current goal so I can figure out how to get all of you together.
I was thinking of an assimar celestial warlock to take on a healing role, but if you would like to be a cleric, I am happy to play a rogue. I think our party needs one. I have less of story concept in mind for a rogue, but I'm sure I can come up with something quick.
If you want to take on healing, warlock or cleric, I would be happy to go with wizard or bard. If you want to go warlock, I could metagame a little bit here at the beginning and maybe use a bard to pick up anything we feel like we might be lacking.
I'm in the process of adding the finishing touches to my character, Ezid Blizzardback the Silver Dragonborn Bard. He is currently travelling the lands to seek knowledge of an ancient text he holds and has found himself within the region of Golden Oak. I'll upload the character sheet to the Google Drive when i complete it, should be fun! :D supportive classes are fun for me to play tbh.
I have been wanting to play a rogue, so I am happy to take that one. I was testing out a build of celestial warlock, but am not super attached to it. I would be relieved if someone took on the healer role. So I’m going to be a tiefling rogue by the name of Carmen. I was going to be an arcane trickster, but we have lots of casters, so maybe an Assassin instead. I will need to think on that.
Iefyr is starting off as a college of blades bard but I'll be going into barbarian (path of the ancients) next level, and probably focus mostly on that afterwards. Kinda building him as an evasive tank/bruiser, with pretty much all of his bard magic focused on utility. I'll upload his sheet in a little bit. Also I'd like to change my color to this if that's cool.
I know everyone is working out class choices. Its ok if theres more than one of a class. Dont forget, this game will focus way more on narrative so choose something that will have a good story and fun to narrate their actions.

You can use physical dice if you like. For gods, i plan on just using the standard faerun gods. If you would like a different god, you can use them.

Sorry for showing up late; it has been an interesting week, but that should not be something that normally comes up for me.
I would be most interested in playing a cleric, but I think a wizard or a bard would be good, too, if Dana would prefer to take that on.
I am thinking green for a font color, either way.
