CLOSED - Opening with an active play-by-post group

I'm a beginner DM with a small group, looking for an extra player.  We just finished a short campaign and are getting ready to start a new, longer one.  Everyone is relatively new, so it is some trial and error with lots of opportunities to learn with the expectation of patience.

Game: D&D 5e
Group type: Online play-by-post utilizing DnD Beyond (character sheets and dice rolls), Discord (text-based roleplay), and Kanka (reference materials)
Experience: New
Location/Timezone: Flexible; we are split between EST (US) and GMT (UK)
Schedule:  We tend to be active on/off all day long across both time zones. You should be able to participate at least a few times a day in order to stay actively involved.
Roles sought: Player (1)
Age range: 25+
Game style: We are roleplay heavy (est. 70%) with lots of character interactions.  The campaign will be homebrewed with resourced components.  I try to offer a variety of encounters including puzzles and problem-solving in addition to standard combat.  The length of the campaign is unknown but expected to be several months plus.

Campaign Pitch:  It's the major solstice festival, Summer's Summit, and everybody within a week of travel from Willowdale, the largest city in the Becren Empire, attends. Did you come for the tournaments, for frivolity, or are you working as a merchant or bard? And what will you do when everything goes wrong?

If interested, please send a private message.  Tell me a little about yourself and your character idea:

• Your experience with DnD or other RPGs
• Why you'd like to join the group
• Character pitch - anything you can build on DnDB is a possibility
  • 1. Who are you? (name, description, and key points from your background)
  • 2. What brought you to the festival? How did you arrive? Did you come with anyone or know anyone else there?
  • 3. What drives you? Major goals? Secrets?
  • 4. What holds you back? (fears, weaknesses, people, etc.)

We are hoping to launch the story in about a week.
