Hi there Hollow Reaper. I know my initial post was a pretty effective casting of the Wall of Words spell, so I understand some things getting lost in translation...But the character you have submitted is not eligible for this game. I am guessing this is a character you have built for a different game that you are trying to port over...which is fine to do, but when you do so you have to make sure it meets the character creation guidelines for the adventure you are applying to.
First, you have submitted a Lv2 Ranger1/Wizard1. We are looking for 3rd level single class characters. So 1 level higher, but no multiclassing. Second, and more impactful, the character you submitted does not have acceptable stats. You did not roll the stats here and you have a 21 in dexterity, which would not be possible either by rolling or through point buy. Also, related by not directly...I am unclear how you get 38 hitpoints on a level 2 character that has a d10 and a d6 hitdie...at with a 17 con at best it seems like it should be 22 and if taking average rolls for the second level then it should be a flat 20. Of course, that will change when you change out one class for the other and bump up to 3rd level...but best case scenario with a level 3 ranger and +3 con you are looking at 31hp.
I have no objection to the RP elements for the character you have submitted...but the mechanics of the character sheet will need to be reworked.
If you have any questions about this let me know and I can talk more on it.

Name: Prince Initherell of Wolgast Relation to the Royal Families: Twin brother of Erithinell (20 minutes younger) Thoughts on Opposite Family: Hopeful. He's had no contact with them since he was little (and doesn't really remember them), but with his sister about to be married to one, he's hoping for the best. Thoughts on the wedding: He's very happy for his sister. He's also pleased to be able to attend — even if it is from a secluded area away from the other visitors. Additional Backstory Details: Erithinell has always been in the spotlight because she is firstborn. While this might have irked some brothers, Initherell has had no ambition to be of any more import than he is. He has always enjoyed being in the background — having more free time, having less responsibility, and when they were younger — being the person his sister could depend on to be easy going and loving and to make her laugh. Unfortunately, he has had no contact with his sister in more than five years. In fact, he has had little to no contact with anyone but a few over that time. He has been sequestered to his chambers and commanded to remain alone. Five years ago, he had an encounter that left him forever changed. He was introduced to a strange creature, and in his naivete — or perhaps in an uncharacteristically ambitious moment — he struck a bargain with the creature, granting him access to magic that forever changed him. This did nothing to change his personality. He is just as friendly and optimistic as he always has been. The family fears what the public might think if they found out. They also fear he might hurt himself or someone else. They just think it's safest if he isn't given the chance to do anything detrimental, so until they think of something better, he has lived alone. He is treated kindly in his solitude, and as he doesn't want to rock the boat or hurt anyone, he has been making the most out of the situation.

Admittedly I've added a whole subplot that you may or may not want to deal with but I believe it could play as big or as none at all role in the game as you wished. It could easily just be how I flavor my RP... Just as my character could just as easily be on either side of the marriage party if needed for balance.
Perfect...During recruitment I generally update those lists once daily, so when I post a new one tomorrow I will include your character sheet link and provide any feedback I see. At first glance things look good.

It sounds like you are new to both DnD as a game and the DnDBeyond online utility...which are two different things. Honestly, once you have a better grasp of the game the online toolkit will come a little bit easier.
I would recommend you start by learning more about DnD as a game. There are tons of resources that can help with this...but my personal favorite is the Handbooker Helper videos from Critical Role. In them the cast members of critical role runs you through some of the basics of rolling up your first character, choosing your class, race, and leveling up...
I have put together a custom playlist of Handbooker Helper videos that can give you kind of a quick start specific to this campaign, skipping some of the stuff that you won't need to know until later.
I think this should help you get the basic lingo down and make the first choices about what kind of character to play. From there if you are needing more help we can set up a time to chat in a discord server to walk through some more in depth character creation stuff. Or if anyone else wants to take you under their wing to help out...that would be cool too.

Here is a synopsis of the characters we are looking to create for this adventure.
Level 3 Character Any published race (but heavily weighted towards humans and demihumans like half-elves, half-orcs, teiflings, aasimar, genasi, etc.) Any published class and subclass Stats are rolled (rerolling 1s once) - If you do not like what you rolled you can switch over to Point Buy for stats. (See this thread for more details on how to roll dice and create these stats) Hitdice are max for level 1 and average roll for levels 2 and 3 Starting gold is all standard starting equipment for your class and background plus 1000 gold to buy other basic equipment In addition you get to select 1 uncommon magic item that your character has acquired at some point prior to the beginning of the adventure.
I think that is all the info you need to know to create the character...but if I have missed someone I am sure someone will jump in and say it.

(Question: Will there be content sharing? The race and subclass I would like to use are ones I do not have access to on DDB. If not, I will change this character to a human (or the free aasimar variant I have access to), and use a subclass I do have access to. I will also rework the backstory to make sense with the change in race. Thanks!)
Name: Prince Marius of Ulaborg Relation to the Royal Families: Marius, brother of Prince Doven, is a rather obscure figure. His limited public appearances have resulted in rumors of a illegitimate birth. The unusual circumstances surrounding his birth helped these rumors take root, spreading only after the king and queen hid the child away never to be seen by the public eye. Those within the castle however question these rumors, as the second prince spends most of his days locked inside his room. When he does come out, every inch of his skin is covered, with a silver mask hiding his face. This strange attire led many to assume that he had some sort of disease of the flesh, driving him to remain fully covered. His bright, piercing eyes shining from within his mask made his tutors uncomfortable, placing him further into isolation. This was of no consequences to him however, as he was an exceptionally intelligent child. He spent most of his time studying in the royal library. He was quick to discover further uses of his strange "affliction" which granted him powers he mastered very quickly. The question of how he inherited such power drove his father to question as well, though his wife assured him that Marius was no bastard. The question remains as to were his divine bloodline originated, or if this 'affliction' had been meant as some sort of blessing. Marius himself never seemed fazed by his isolation, content with his studies and the private gardens he was able to practice his magic. As he grew older however, he began actively trying to insert himself into society, and surprisingly found that he was able to gain allies. In spite of his unnerving outfit, his quiet and caring personality won over many of the members within the royal household. Nevertheless, his social appearances have been extremely limited, leaving him a little awkward in public places. Thoughts on opposite Family: Due to his isolation, Marius has had little opportunity to develop his own opinion of this other family. As a result, he feels conflicted. On one hand, he sees the conflicts portrayed in the history books, and sees all the bad that has come from this family. However, he also knows that, in spite of being history books, all authors tend to be biased. So, he is willing to give this other family a chance, but if they prove to be untrustworthy...he would not hesitate to make them pay. Thoughts on the wedding: Marius is unsure how he feels about his brother's marriage. He cares deeply for his brother, even though they have spent limited time together considering that they are siblings. He wishes that there were more unbiased people he could talk to, or books he could read about this opposite family so he could make a better guess. As it is, he does realize the importance of the wedding, and hopes that only good will come of it Additional Backstory details: Marius holds no ill will against his family for keeping his 'affliction' a secret, though he does wish that he could get out more. As a kid, the uncomfortable stares from the people around the household drove him to be content with isolation. Now, he wishes that he had more confidence in public places. He has grown to care for the servants who tend to him and his room, who often take time to speak to him, in contrast to the soldiers or visiting nobles who are quick to get out of his presence. He does not know how his brother feels about him, and hopes that Doven knows he would never attempt to take the thrown. Doven has nothing to fear from him.

Name: Eliwyn Relation to the Royal Families: Wolgast Scout Thoughts on opposite Family: Distrust and wary for any deception. Thoughts on the wedding: Understands the need for a political marriage Additional Backstory details: As a daughter to a traveling merchant, she grew to love the outdoors and seeing new sights. The Wolgast scouts embody the qualities she admires and a way to earn decent coin as swell. It took years to join their ranks, but she believes she has found her calling. It came as surprise that she wan chosen to be part of the Princess's wedding retinue. What ensued was a crash course in ettiquette and learning the guests names. Although the wedding is not in the wilderness, but it is a new sight.

Relation to the Royal Families: Youngest Brother of Prince Doven
Thoughts on opposite Family: Tangled, due to the unusual circumstances of his position.
Thoughts on the wedding: He's pleased to be able to attend, because it gives him a chances to see his lover, and also to show his family how far he has come.
Additional Backstory details: Paxton fell in love with a Duchess in a prominent Wolgast noble house, but his parents forbid him to see her. Enraged that he couldn't be with the one he loves, he left Ulaborg to join the Wolgast Riders against the wishes of his parents. Motivated by spite, he has excelled there, having advanced through the ranks based on his merit.
Here is the updated list of character submissions so far with the feedback I have thought of based on looking through the newly submitted sheets. I know I have a few questions directed at me, I will get to those in a separate post later today.

Feedback & Thoughts Kaemgen - I like the concept of a gray allegiance character and you have a good concept as a whole. You kind of referrenenced to a question in your post about the purchases of common magic items...I think since I am giving so much gold I am going to have to balance that on an adhoc basis...the main criteria will be if the items fit the character or are just for obvious min/max purposes and if it is a reasonable amount (not over the top). In both those regards I think you did fine. In fact, I would encourage everyone to have a potion of healing or 2...you are going to be in a tense situation where hopefully violence won't occur but it could...and while there has been some healing magic on the character submissions there hasn't been a lot so far.
PyromaniIsDeadThankGod - Long Board handle! I might need to abbreviate that in the future...do you have a preference of what it gets abbreviated to? I really like the character concept. Gives me inuyasha vibes...which I don't know if that is intentional or not...but cool. The only thing I would say is you are the first person that noticably got screwed over by the dice roller...Those ability scores come out to an equivalent point buy of 16 when standard power level is 27. If you are okay with that then so am I...but the offer is available for you to switch over to point buy instead if you would like.
Hollow Moon - I put an asterisk at the end of your line because we still have a bit more work to do...but we are getting there. First off, you are only a level 1 character on the sheet. You want to be a level 3 ranger...so when editing the character go to the class tab and bump the level drop down box from 1 to 3. This will give you access to make choices about your new class abilities that you get from levels 2 and 3 of your class...most notably the subclass you want to pick. It should also update your HP automatically. If it doesn't, take a look at the Home tab and make sure your Hit Point Type is Fixed and not Manual. Once you have updated to a level 3 character you will have an acceptable first draft and from there I can provide any character feedback that may be needed.
DirtyDogP - I also really like your character concept. I don't see any need for corrective feedback. The only thing I would say is if selected I will want to know what the bargain Initherell naively struck was...What did he say that this entity twisted into a contract? I enjoy reading and learning about faery contracts in folklore books and videos...so that might be something interesting to explore. You do not have to put it in your backstory right now...just something to consider if you are selected.
Aroc_of_Eaf - Again, I like the character concept...so many of these are so good! The only concern I have is you might be writing yourself into a corner making what appears contextually to be a shy/introverted character. They can be very difficult to roleplay because so much of their action is internalized and so you have to tell instead of show. It is definitely an interesting concept to explore...just make sure you are leaving yourself room to write. It could be interesting to see Marius interacting with Initherell if you are both selected. Both royal born, both isolated. So much in common but likely very different people.
Weathervision - I know you said your backstory is a WiP, and I am excited to read it. I will let you know with so many good submissions the selection process is going to come more down to who can write what looks like compelling stories and less of who has a powerful or interesting character that will work in the campaign. I have my glut of choices when it comes to character mechanics...to paraphrase Top Gun for this game it isn't going to be the character...it will be the player. The other thing I would mention for you is since you are going Custom Lineage please let us know in your write up what your appearance is...Are you human or do you have some demi-human trait that specifically makes you a custom lineage beyond the mechanical benefits of doing so (which I totally get...sometimes to make a character concept work you need what custom lineage has to offer).
Shobob - I appreciate you taking my feedback into consideration and submitting an alternate character. I will be considering this one your primary for the selection process. I love the idea of the plot point of having an effective Benedict Arnold in the mix could bring to the party. Very inventive.

A thought - what kinds of things are you all planning on spending 1000 GP on for your character? I just realized I had not done that yet, and I'm a bit low on ideas for how to spend such wealth thriftily.
There is definitely a challenge there. I placed the 1000 gp on there because at level 3 you likely should have ammassed enough wealth to have just about whatever mundane gear you want (as opposed to what a lv 1 character has). In addition, for the most part you are all some level of nobility...so you should have enough wealth to be able to afford to hire your own personal Alfred if you should so choose.
I would consider what mechanically makes sense for the character you are writing (like what Kaemgem did) and also what makes sense from an RP flavor stand point. Are you a noble that is well liked but it is an open secret that you have a gambling problem? Maybe you should spend some of your money on a fancy dice or card set.
Or maybe despite having no talent at it what so ever (read not proficient with and no proficiency with perform either) your noble upbringing has demanded that you learn an instrument. So spend some money on a flute or a travel harp. But certainly not something so low as a panflute or set of drums...that is more for the common folk.
These kinds of things have no impact on the mechanics of your character...but those little chotchkes can really help you bring a character to life. Also, when buying these character driven items, don't be afraid to drop a little bit of extra coin on them to say that they are of particularly fine make. Any solder can have dice carved from some spare pebbles or bones...but you have dragon bone dice that shimmer iridescently in the candle light.
A thought - what kinds of things are you all planning on spending 1000 GP on for your character? I just realized I had not done that yet, and I'm a bit low on ideas for how to spend such wealth thriftily.
I plan to buy an extra instrument for my bard, an armor upgrade, and a wedding gift! I also bought a chest to store all the starting eq that I likely won't be using.

I do not have a paid subscription to DnDB, so content sharing is not an option available to me. If someone selected does have content sharing and an available slot I am more than happy to allow them to gift us all with that present.
Also to clarify, when I said no homebrew I meant nothing that you have created or adapted yourself. But if you want to use the DnDB tools to create a freeware version of a published race, subclass, feat, spell, etc I have no objection to that. I have actually built in my DnDB collection every subclass and race and all of the feats up through Fizbans (haven't gotten to doing Multiverse yet). I intend to do all the spells as well, but that is a larger undertaking so right now I just build each one as I need it for a character. Because of that I am pretty adept at creating Homebrew copies of official materials, so if you need any advice on how to implement a specific racial trait or feat bonus let me know and I can probably help out.

The question of how he inherited such power drove his father to question as well, though his wife assured him that Marius was no bastard. The question remains as to were his divine bloodline originated, or if this 'affliction' had been meant as some sort of blessing. Marius himself never seemed fazed by his isolation, content with his studies and the private gardens he was able to practice his magic. As he grew older however, he began actively trying to insert himself into society, and surprisingly found that he was able to gain allies. In spite of his unnerving outfit, his quiet and caring personality won over many of the members within the royal household. Nevertheless, his social appearances have been extremely limited, leaving him a little awkward in public places.
Thoughts on opposite Family: Due to his isolation, Marius has had little opportunity to develop his own opinion of this other family. As a result, he feels conflicted. On one hand, he sees the conflicts portrayed in the history books, and sees all the bad that has come from this family. However, he also knows that, in spite of being history books, all authors tend to be biased. So, he is willing to give this other family a chance, but if they prove to be untrustworthy...he would not hesitate to make them pay.
Thoughts on the wedding: Marius is unsure how he feels about his brother's marriage. He cares deeply for his brother, even though they have spent limited time together considering that they are siblings. He wishes that there were more unbiased people he could talk to, or books he could read about this opposite family so he could make a better guess. As it is, he does realize the importance of the wedding, and hopes that only good will come of it
Additional Backstory details: Marius holds no ill will against his family for keeping his 'affliction' a secret, though he does wish that he could get out more. As a kid, the uncomfortable stares from the people around the household drove him to be content with isolation. Now, he wishes that he had more confidence in public places. He has grown to care for the servants who tend to him and his room, who often take time to speak to him, in contrast to the soldiers or visiting nobles who are quick to get out of his presence. He does not know how his brother feels about him, and hopes that Doven knows he would never attempt to take the thrown. Doven has nothing to fear from him.

A thought - what kinds of things are you all planning on spending 1000 GP on for your character? I just realized I had not done that yet, and I'm a bit low on ideas for how to spend such wealth thriftily.

Kaemgen - I like the concept of a gray allegiance character and you have a good concept as a whole. You kind of referrenenced to a question in your post about the purchases of common magic items...I think since I am giving so much gold I am going to have to balance that on an adhoc basis...the main criteria will be if the items fit the character or are just for obvious min/max purposes and if it is a reasonable amount (not over the top). In both those regards I think you did fine. In fact, I would encourage everyone to have a potion of healing or 2...you are going to be in a tense situation where hopefully violence won't occur but it could...and while there has been some healing magic on the character submissions there hasn't been a lot so far.
DirtyDogP - I also really like your character concept. I don't see any need for corrective feedback. The only thing I would say is if selected I will want to know what the bargain Initherell naively struck was...What did he say that this entity twisted into a contract? I enjoy reading and learning about faery contracts in folklore books and videos...so that might be something interesting to explore. You do not have to put it in your backstory right now...just something to consider if you are selected.

There is definitely a challenge there. I placed the 1000 gp on there because at level 3 you likely should have ammassed enough wealth to have just about whatever mundane gear you want (as opposed to what a lv 1 character has). In addition, for the most part you are all some level of nobility...so you should have enough wealth to be able to afford to hire your own personal Alfred if you should so choose.
I would consider what mechanically makes sense for the character you are writing (like what Kaemgem did) and also what makes sense from an RP flavor stand point. Are you a noble that is well liked but it is an open secret that you have a gambling problem? Maybe you should spend some of your money on a fancy dice or card set.
Or maybe despite having no talent at it what so ever (read not proficient with and no proficiency with perform either) your noble upbringing has demanded that you learn an instrument. So spend some money on a flute or a travel harp. But certainly not something so low as a panflute or set of drums...that is more for the common folk.
These kinds of things have no impact on the mechanics of your character...but those little chotchkes can really help you bring a character to life. Also, when buying these character driven items, don't be afraid to drop a little bit of extra coin on them to say that they are of particularly fine make. Any solder can have dice carved from some spare pebbles or bones...but you have dragon bone dice that shimmer iridescently in the candle light.

I plan to buy an extra instrument for my bard, an armor upgrade, and a wedding gift! I also bought a chest to store all the starting eq that I likely won't be using.

I've been told I am a Hobbit.
I do not have a paid subscription to DnDB, so content sharing is not an option available to me. If someone selected does have content sharing and an available slot I am more than happy to allow them to gift us all with that present.
Also to clarify, when I said no homebrew I meant nothing that you have created or adapted yourself. But if you want to use the DnDB tools to create a freeware version of a published race, subclass, feat, spell, etc I have no objection to that. I have actually built in my DnDB collection every subclass and race and all of the feats up through Fizbans (haven't gotten to doing Multiverse yet). I intend to do all the spells as well, but that is a larger undertaking so right now I just build each one as I need it for a character. Because of that I am pretty adept at creating Homebrew copies of official materials, so if you need any advice on how to implement a specific racial trait or feat bonus let me know and I can probably help out.

I think that was all of the pending questions?
If I missed yours please forgive me and repost it...I would be most obliged.
