Interestingly enough, that's a 27 point buy, paying 3 to go from 15 to 16. I'll have to consider if I can make that work as I try to build the character. Probably can . . ..
Have quite a bit to do to get a build right, so, no name, yet. Will be a Bard or Rogue, I think. Late birth son serving as a social spy type for the family pushing their agenda against their peerage.
I am Central US Time Zone.
I can normally post once daily. More if the timing is good and there's a back-and-forth going, but it would have to be evening my time for that to happen on a workday!
Okay, so I'm thinking I'll need to go point buy, because I need a better spread attribute-wise than the above.
2014 rules? I'll say a Rogue (Inquisitive) build. Lluth Margastar, Waterdhavian Noble.
I can't do a D&D Beyond build of him, though, as I don't have anything beyond the free 2014 rules on my account. But, into a campaign with the material shared and I can create the stats right quick.
May I use this character, its from another failed campaign, that started nicely, then the dm disappeared. Link to my post

Name: Russel Gwyddel Link to sheet Race: Shifter Class: Fighter Backstory:
Russel as a young child wondered off from his home chasing a rat into the woods. He was soon lost with many trails and dangers he was fortunate to be found by a family of sprites who lost their own child recently. The Faye's normally aloof attitude was overridden by maternal instincts and raised him as their own. Things were going happily till he was adventuring not far from his new family and was lured to a house made from a hollow tree by a young woman who look much like his mother. But the woman was actually a hag able to detect the young child's memories. And she loved to play evil games with unwary passerby's Enamored with his red hair and light blue eyes Instead of eating him the hag experimented on Russel polymorphing him into different forms experimenting with different hexes while torturing other children she caught from a nearby city by luring them from alleyways with candy and toys into her domain. Finally consuming their souls and making meat pies she would sell for coin intown. The Fae worried about their adopted son searched for him for a year till they happened upon the evilly protected tree recognizing from afar their adopted son and realizing they needed help partitioned adventures and the authorities intown and soon there was an epic battle. The hag and her coven slain their son rescued but sent to an orphanage in the city. For the sprites in their efforts were slain also. Russel Varangian its a name he remembers from the short years he was fully human. Though he looks the part of his true parents. He sometimes feels the urge of the hunt something wolfish within. While at the orphanage he learned to fend for himself stealing what was needed. He soon found a rapier amongst other tools off a dead rogue in an alley way. He learned the nuances of armor weapons and shields from an old veteran existing in the gutters too old and drunk to earn a living Russel would steal booze and food for the lessons the veteran taught, till he found the man dead of the mans own neglect. Taking the mans shield helm and armor Varangian now in his late teens, decided to try and put the Vets lessons to use perhaps earn a living.
Hook:
Looking for adventure, but needing coin, Russel hired on to caravans as a scout or guard, After the last job he found himself, wondering between jobs, heading south from Ber Dusk.
A quarter hour older and a boy. It doesn't seem like much but, to the Lord & Lady of House Skye, it meant everything. Arik of Skye, heir apparent, was free do do whatever he wanted while his 'younger' twin Kitiara was raised to be a proper lady, marry well, and produce heirs that would unite House Skye with a powerful ally.
But Kitiara had other plans. It started with the dresses that she refused to wear. Then wheedling her way into Airk's fencing lessons. Next came chopping off her hair and insisting on being called Kit. Finally, the night before her wedding, Kit packed a bag and slipped away...never to be seen again.
Since then, Kit Forthall has been traveling the Sword Coast in service of the Harpers under the guise of a simple street performer. Though she was born in Waterdeep, she spends much of her free time in Baldur's Gate at the temple of Ilmater, for reasons she keeps to herself alone.
Backstory: Karasu hails from the Islands of Wa in Kara-Tur. (Far East from the Sword Coast). He follows the path of the celestial Immortals and gained a fraction of their powers, but his home is rife with revolution as dissidents are becoming more violent. Day in and day out he is mired in conflict as he tries to spare his people from being drawn into this conflict. What is right and wrong is blurred as more blood is shed. In the end the Daimyo was killed and the Tenmai province was set aflame. Karasu was tired and ready to give in when he met a wandering monk. He reminded Karasu that there is more to the world then the Islands of Wa. Karasu packed a few mementos and took a boat and headed west. He kept on seeking new horizons untill he found himself on the sword coast. He became a member of the Order of the Gauntlet in hopes of making his new home a safer place.
I started working on a character but I had another idea that would require some DM approval. Would you be opposed to a Kitsune-flavored Feywild creature the was mechanically just a reskinned Eldarin?
