I am wondering what info is absolutely necessary for a character. I have been looking for a minimal character sheet for a DM and for players that would be playing card size. Anyone have any info on something like this? How would this be done? Is there a program or something that I could use to make this and print up some sheets for the player characters and another for monsters?
Depends on whether it's for DMs or players. As DM I'm interested in each player's race, bonds, flaws, personality traits, alignment, and tool/skill proficiencies. As a player I'd want something like a monster's stat block; a really compressed version of my combat stats and common actions. Honestly though a playing card is probably too small for the player version.
A lot of it depends on how much you have memorized about your abilities. If looking at the name of an ability is enough, you can probably even fit it on a playing card, if you need more than that, you'll want a larger sheet.

So do you think a 3x5 index card would work?

I would say that as a DM I would also like each players AC, Passive Perception, spell save DC (for players with spellcasting) and size as well.
