I'd like to run just one more game using a published source. I've decided to try Hoard of the Dragon Queen.
I'm looking for 4 players, possibly up to six depending on party mix. Apply in a PM.

Feel Free to use one of the following hooks:
1. Leosin Erlanthar, a wandering monk, once saved your life. He’s sent urgent word for you to meet him in a small town called Greenest. Looks like it’s time to pay off that debt.
2. When an orc raid drove your family from your home, the people of Greenest took you in. Anyone who threatens Greenest is your sworn enemy.
3. Every five nights, you have a strange sequence of apocalyptic dreams. The world is destroyed by cold, choking fumes, lightning storms, waves of acid, and horrible fire. Each time, the dream ends with ten evil eyes glaring at you from the darkness. You feel a strange compulsion to travel to Greenest. Perhaps the answer to the riddle of your dreams awaits you there.
4. Ontharr Frume, a crusading warrior and champion of good, is your friend and mentor. He has asked you to travel to Greenest in search of rumors of increasing dragon activity.
5. You have heard rumors that your close childhood friend, a half-elf named Talis, has been kidnapped by a strange group of dragon cultists. Your investigations into the cult have led you to the town of Greenest. You must save her!
6. Being the grandchild of a renowned dragon slayer is usually a good way to impress people, but just last week a gang of ruffians attack you. You barely escaped with your life, but as you fled, the ruffians told you that the Cult of the Dragon never forgets and always avenges. You’re hoping to lie low in a sleepy little town called Greenest until this blows over.
7. On his deathbed, your father confessed that he had become involved with a group called the Cult of the Dragon. They paid him to smuggle goods across the Sword Coast. Wracked by guilt, he begged you to investigate the cult and undo the evil he may have helped foster. He urged you to begin your search in a town called Greenest.
8. The dragons destroyed everything you hold dear. They killed your family and destroyed your home. Now, with nothing but what you carry on your back and a horrid scar of the near fatal wounds you sustained in the attack, you seek revenge.
9. You and your family were members of the Cult of the Dragon, until your rivals in the cult arranged to wipe you out. Though they slaughtered your kin, you survived, but they think you’re dead. Now is your chance for vengeance! Your hit list consists of three names: a human cultist named Frulam Mondath, a half-orc named Bog Luck, and a half-dragon named Rezmir. You have arrived in Greenest, knowing it’s next on the cult’s list of targets.
10. You have a secret. You once were a gold dragon who served Bahamut. You were too proud and vain, to the point that Bahamut decided to teach you a lesson. You have been trapped in a weak, humanoid body, with your memories of your former life but a dim shadow. You remember only one thing with perfect clarity: Bahamut’s command to go into the world and prove your devotion to the cause of good. If you prove worthy, on your death you will return to his side in your true form.

Will think up a character.
Few questions though: 1) what's the deadline for application? 2) what's the expected pace of the pbp? (Everyone posts at least once a day, short responses vs 2 to 4 paragraphs of text, bold/coloured for speaking, etc.) 3) in addition to the limitations mentioned above, any other that should be known? (e.g. no evil alignments, no chaotic alignment, no emo/edgy/carbon copy characters, etc) 4) Basic equipment (that could be sold to purchase other things) or roll for gold?
Born in WaterDeep Dorian grew up to a wealthy family his mother and father provided for l and taught their son to defend himself. Which earned him a place in the city watch. He would go out and do jobs for extra money hunting criminals for the city. He was doing well till he found out that he had a price on his head.
Deciding to leave Waterdeep after the third attempt on his life. He found that traveling among caravans as a guard and Forager was a good profession. But after a raid by Orcs which nearly killed all of the people in the caravan he was escorting. Dorian began hunting Orcs out of anger goblins would just get in the way. one day he found himself near Greenist and decided to visit.
1) what's the deadline for application? Sunday, 7:00am EST, although I reserve the right to take late apps before I make my decision on Sunday.
2) what's the expected pace of the pbp? (Everyone posts at least once a day, short responses vs 2 to 4 paragraphs of text, bold/coloured for speaking, etc.) Daily posting, I'm a terse pbp'er so I am okay with short or long responses, prefer bold and colored speech.
3) in addition to the limitations mentioned above, any other that should be known? (e.g. no evil alignments, no chaotic alignment, no emo/edgy/carbon copy characters, etc) Well, I'm ignoring alignments, for the most part, but I am selecting characters that are likely to be motivated to help people.
4) Basic equipment (that could be sold to purchase other things) or roll for gold. Your choice just roll for gold where I can verify it.

sfeldman, the DM said no re-rolls, but then again luckily that would only change one of your scores. Still amazing rolls!
Ha, on that note I looked at others for fun and furujiru rolled a 6+6+6+6 and dropped a six for one score, wow!
Ability scores: 15 13 12 15 7 13

One final question, if you don't mind:
- What about multiclassing? It is as is, does it need a in-universe/story/RP reason or does it need a requirement (for instance, Magic Initiate wizard or proficiency in Arcana in order to multiclass into wizard)
Thank you for the answers already given. I'll draft up a character concept to PM to you before Sunday.

Multiclassing is as is. but having a story reason is appreciated.
I'm just gonna put one word out there. Healing.
