What you should know about the Adventure before you apply
You will need a Worlds of Pphost character. The Worlds of Pphost recruitment thread will give you everything you need.
The entire Adventure takes place in the Copper Dragon Inn (possibly in the area around the Dragon, which will make it much harder for you to succeed, possibly in jail which would make success impossible). The occasional brawl is seen as no big deal and if it goes on too long Theran will put a stop to it, possibly banning troublemakers from the Inn. If weapons are drawn the Town Guard will get involved and someone could wind up behind bars. PCs will be solving puzzles and mysteries as well as taking part in the Copper Dragon's amenities while they try to figure out what's going on and who they can, and cannot trust
What you should know about the DM before you apply
Aside from some serious mental health issues, most of the games I've run over the past few years have been live and largely improvised, which I've found doesn't work as well for PbP. I try to take some lessons with me from every game I DM

Asledin Norburchle is a Human male. He stands 6 feet tall, weighs 220 pounds with shoulder length brown hair, blue eyes, and tanned leathery skin. Asledin is a farmer come fighter. He has lived and worked on his family's farm until recently, having decided to see what's out in the world. Asledin has a fairly laid-back demeanor, and he doesn't laugh much. Until now, Asledin has worked a few escort jobs, none of which have truly tested his skills.
(I will withhold questions until I see how this plays out. This is my first PbP adventure, and also the first time I have participated in anything like D&D in many, many years.)
A half-elven woman opens the door to the Copper Dragon and confidently walks inside, surveying the main room's inhabitants. She is shortish, around 5' 2", with caramel-colored skin, dark hair and eyes. She is dressed in colorful clothing topped by leather armor dyed blue. A sheathed dagger and a rapier hang from her belt, and a lute is strapped to her back. She approaches the bar, looking for someone who might be the proprietor, or at least who might know who that is.
"Excuse me, good sir... are you the owner? I am here looking for someone named Raskin. I am Journeyman Soriah, daughter of Otto, from Seahold."
She looks around and sees the farmboy fighter and smiles at him. "Are you here for the job as well?"

I love the enthusiasm, but we're not quire there yet. Let's wait for people (and whoever else) to arrive and this actually is a good time to ask questions. Is there anything about the Adventure types? The Consent for games? (or that whole process up there?) Or about Haven in general?
Of the laws of Haven, one considered to be a crime against Haven itself is "Brandishing weapons without good cause: up to 2 days imprisonment and hard labor and 10gp fine". The next one is about "disturbing the peace". People in Haven are proud of the fact that so many heavily armed and armored people can get along in one place. Brawls aren't uncommon. Fists and the occasional chair leg or broom handle aren't considered a big deal. And you never know what someone is carrying secretly but if weapons are brought out, the Town Guard will get involved
(No sir, I'm good... unless those 'serious mental issues' involve stalking people you've met online )
Nope. It may involve me bringing in another DM to take over for short time, but we'll see how it goes. We need at least one more player so I'm going to open it up to anyone and change the projected start to Monday.
Flint is an Earth Genasi Level 2 Fighter. He saw the notice offering work for strong and observant individuals and headed on over to the Copper Dragon to check it out. He has spent most of his time in or around the Greasy Weasel and the fighting ring, and also picked up a few odd jobs and tasks here and there with the town guard, including that mess over at Lady Irene's a fortnight or two back.
Would Dyumi be able to join this since he's in the midst of a current pphost game?

Imra is a man out of place. He is a goliath, but as a child became separated from his family. A village of Firbolgs found him and raised him. He's grown up in the wilds and interacting with the wilds as fish in water. He's left to make his own way, but hopes to return to his family one day.
(Sorry I'm a bit late to this, but I'd love to join if you're still accepting players!)
Ula Raethran is a Half-Elf Barbarian (level 1) who has recently found themselves in Haven due to some...unforeseen circumstances. While they weren't thrilled with the unexpected change in scenery, they are trying to make the best of the situation. And, for now, that means finding work and earning coin.
Looks like a really great group of PCs you've created. Remember to check the Adventure types. Right now I'm trying to figure if I can handle 7 players. I should have everything ready to go late tomorrow afternoon (around 14:00 MST). You'll get invitations around noon or so. This looks like it's going to be fun
