SETTING: Your characters all live in a country by the name of the East Republic, starting off in the capital city of New Salevi. It is surrounded by massive brick walls on all sides, stretching 80 meters into the sky. Beyond the walls are several hostile countries, though you yourself have never been past the border. Inside, it’s relatively safe, and technology has advanced relatively far. With the invention of radios, automobiles, and industrialization, the world has changed much. Though magic is still used, there is a fear that one day technology will overtake it. Dragon envoys guard shipments traveling from city to city, monsters lurk in the sewage and prowl about at night, gangs lord over the streets. The police force here is powerful, but brutal. Good luck handling yourself on the streets.
The time period is a 1920s-like steampunk with mid to high level magic. Most people are generally atheist; organized religion is rare. Fey are not usually seen in the cities, and undead are heavily discriminated against, usually put to work in factories. Exotic pet laws are still in place. There is no license needed for firearms, but you do have to register yours in your name.
INFO ABOUT ME: Yo! My name’s Cyno and I’m a veteran DND 5e player. I’ve DMed tons of encounters, campaigns, and more, and homebrewed countless monsters, races, and magic items (I hate homebrewing subclasses lol). My timezone is CST, and I’m a frequent poster and user of the DND beyond forums.
I do have work on most weekdays, so my activity will probably be limited to the mornings.
PLAYERS IM LOOKING FOR: I’m looking for 5-7 players! I’m going to need active players that can post several times in a single day. Any timezone is fine- but I would prefer players that don’t live in opposite timezones of mine. Any experience is welcome! However, a certain degree of optimization will be needed in your characters, just so they don’t die in combat. NSFW is not allowed. Anyone above age 25 DNI please.
CHARACTER CREATION RULES:
Level 8 characters in DND 5e. I’ll put up a content sharing link for yall.
Rolled stats or point buy please! I recommend a little bit of optimization combatwise (pls no skill monkeys), because my campaign settings from here on out are going to be notoriously dangrous. (For rolled stats, you can reroll 1s and also roll two sets and pick the higher).
No homebrew unless it’s provided by me :) if you want something in particular to fit your character, ask me and ill homebrew it for you.
Legacy/Tashas/supplemental rules/custom bg is allowed. No custom race or UA.
Firearms are allowed as a choice of martial weapon!
No encumbrance.
Banned stuff- Lucky feat, Silvery Barbs, Counterspell, Harengon, Dhampir, Fairy, Astral Plane races(besides thrikreen), Firblog, Bugbear, any elf that isn’t high elf, drow, or wood elf(half elf doesnt count) just for consistency. More might be added.

YOUR NAME: Baalzeboop YOUR CHARACTER NAME: Oswald Grouper YOUR DND EXPERIENCE LEVEL: I've been playing and GMing for around four years at this point.
CHARACTER SHEET: Here (I think) BACKSTORY: Oswald was born to a long line of draconic sorcerers who mixed ice magic with industrial technology, but he was found to have no magic of his own. Because of this, he was neglected by his parents in favor of his younger sister, Amanda. To compensate, he focused heavily on his studies, hoping to gain love and respect through his knowledge and preternatural intellect. But he was never good enough. His only inheritance from his parents was a broken-down fish cannery by the coast.
He's a bit different nowadays. He is a callous industrialist with expert inventing skills and marksmanship, destroying anything that stands in his way with either force or guile, with no preference for either one. He is a repugnant figure known for only working with others when it suits him, which, fortunately, is most of the time given his present lack of funds and manpower.

YOUR NAME:Bobthebarb27 YOUR CHARACTER NAME:Aedinidustet YOUR DND EXPERIENCE LEVEL: I've been playing DnD since 2019, and I have the second most DnD knowledge of tavernfolk, tied with Half and after Chris. Also I like ferrets.
CHARACTER SHEET: https://ddb.ac/characters/101844797/NcE7Ve BACKSTORY:Aedi is an old man. An old, old, old, old, old man. In his youth, he enjoyed brewing new forms of intoxicating drugs to skirt the law and stick it to the cops. But now, Aedi is aging. He has decided to pick up a much more relaxing hobby/job. Shooting and killing people. Aedi currently works as a contractor for gangs, selling them gun parts and removing their enemies. He recently picked up a mechanical tortoise from a scrap yard, which now comes along with him on hits. Aedi is soft spoken and shy to the point of being awkward, but still acts like a young tortle in the heat of battle. He is a bit paranoid, but who isn't? STAT GENERATION:Ability scores: 131512111511
Ability scores: 12151691116 HEROFORGE/DESCRIPTION/ART:Aedi is just above five feet, which means he dwarfs Cyno. He paints swirling blue patterns on his shell, in the hopes that cameras will not be able to recognize him. A gun holster hangs from his side at all times, and tiny carvings of different criminal insignias have been scratched out on his shell. The nondescript cloak he wears does not help conceal his wide frame, but it offers some measure of anonymity. Aedi has scars across his face and a disfigured neck from unfortunate run-ins with the police when he was younger

YOUR NAME: Archfey YOUR CHARACTER NAME: Harpocrates YOUR DND EXPERIENCE LEVEL: about 2 years
CHARACTER SHEET:https://ddb.ac/characters/101826488/vMyGo3 BACKSTORY: Harpocrates was born into a poor family. When his father lost his job, it got even worse. His family couldn’t make enough money, so he, at the time, at the age of 14, tried to help out in any way he could. Thats when he discovered his talent: Lying. He tricked rich people into gambling to get money and sometimes even pickpocketed them. He gave most of the money he got to his family, and he continued doing this until his parents could get new jobs. After that, he decided to use his talents to help the poor. Now, he does more complicated schemes, pretending to be someone he isn’t to steal their money. STAT GENERATION: point buy HEROFORGE/DESCRIPTION/ART: Harpocrates wears a black tailcoat and brown shoes. He has semi-short black hair. His trousers are also black. His skin is pale, but his face and hands have a few dark green scales. He has gold snake eyes and a forked tongue. On his side is an ornate rapier. On his other side is a bag.
Also I have mild questions on the bans.so I understand silvery barbs being banned, since that's really annoying to work against on either side, but why counterspell too?

Uploaded the character sheet. I'm willing to lower the stats if you'd like. Also, for some reason it keeps rerolling the dice.
