Hello! I'm new to Dungeons and Dragons. I'm looking to gain some experience as a player while I put together my own campaign. I'm comfortable with Discord and dicemaiden or roll20. I'm available after 4 PM EST Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have a couple of characters I'm looking to try in a setting of your choosing. I've listed them in order of freshness.

Yazaan is a (repeatedly) failed merchant that understands on an instinctual level he's a better thief than a businessman. He's inherently suspicious of his customers because he knows what he'd do. This doesn’t stop him from trying to start new entrepreneurial endeavors at any opportunity. He's a rogue, probably inquisitive. That fits best with his backstory. He's a traveler by necessity. He's stolen a tool that he doesn't know how to use. The people that he stole from are looking for him. He's looking for someone that will teach him how to use the tool. Merchants might deal in exotic goods, but Yazaan deals mostly in liberated goods. Finding a customer is his favorite part of his lifestyle.

Torg is a runaway gladiator. His training has made him a fine barbarian and he's earned some fame. This fame is at odds with the notoriety he earned from stealing an influential noble's ancestral double-bladed scimitar in his escape. I'm looking forward to resolving Torg reveling in being semi-famous and consistently ahead of the noble's agents. I'm leaning towards Path of the Ancestral Guardian for him, though I would like to make it more of a worship of fellow gladiators thing to fit with his own fame.

Cascis is Torg's opposite. Discarded by his parents and cast out from society, Cascis was raised in a monastery. He learned to control his inherent aggression through meditation and intense isolation. After weeks of solitary, aimless cogitation, he had a vision of a powerful device that could pivot the balance of the world. His initial impulse was to run away and seek this item out, but he has found that even barely populated hamlets contain more people than he's seen in a long time. Cascis is not smart. His wisdom comes from constant, unfocused reflection on the instances that make up his experience. I want this character to be a "the wolf you feed" type, where the wolves are monastic and secular lives.
