Greetings! I am going to start a PBP game here because I am sick of inconsistent live games not happening. I want to flesh out a few character ideas as well.
I want a party of 3-6 1st level characters.
Roll ability scores as 4d6(lowest die subtracted) for each ability. Apply scores where you wish. All 5e official material is fine and Unearthed Arcana as well.
Looking for mature players who can keep a long-running campaign alive and fun.
I will be DMing as well as playing a character.
Setting will be traditional fantasy/Sword Coast/Underdark/Homebrew possibly.
Always up for building a game around the players desires, goals, etc.
First 6 character sheets posted/rolled up are guaranteed a spot in the party!

Count me it! It's late and I don't have the energy to make a character right now but I will in the morning. I'm all for a serious, character oriented campaign. Should I optimize my character for combat if I wan't them to survive?
I'll whip up a character, but would love to find out more about the setting you are thinking about (especially if it is more roleplaying or more combat oriented) so it is the right tone!
He has been a hermit for many years, wandering the Underdark and meditating to keep demons and violent horrible thoughts at bay. Nothing has stopped the evil nature he was born with, though. Now Kilan is trying his hand at dominating the criminal underworld. He is young for a Drow, and is still new as a rogue, but shows great promise and deadly talent.
Kilan is a name you have all been hearing a lot lately in local taverns and unsavory establishments. A weird and attractive exotic foreigner. A Drow that has shown up at several popular locations recently, all during the night in dark places. Some people claim to have spotted him in heavy robes during the day, out looking for herbs or meditating near a dead tree.
He believes he can use crime to gain power and strength and influence. He will focus all of his spiritual power towards evil and corrupt means. He has already caused trouble for a few villages and cities. He is earning a morbid and dastardly reputation.
You spot a wanted poster for him on the side of the road, pinned to an old rotten tree stump.
"Reward Dead or Alive: 1,500 Gold! Kilan Irsal the Demon Hermit! A Drow creeps amongst us! Beware his evil ways! He must be stopped one way or another! Any bounty hunters or others seeking more information contact the mayor of Bittborg Village, just North of the Crumbling Crossroads."
The Crumbling Crossroads are an ancient landmark in this part of the realm, and you can see them just ahead of you. Weeks have passed as you have wandered in this direction looking for work. It seems this nefarious Dark Elf, Kilan Irsal, must be dealt with by somebody with skill, like yourself and your friends.
To Bittborg! To assemble a party and investigate the villain Kilan!
He earned a mythic reputation (and his nickname, which his clan had never given to him) holding back a goblin raid at the bridge outside of the village until help arrived. I can whip up a more colorful narrative later, including how Ironwall ends up in Bittborg..
I'm an Aarakocra fighter (archer) who loves playing my lute and putting on a show! I'd love for you to settle in and listen to my sweet tunes and join my in my adventures seeking out new epics for me to write about! I haven't seen much of the world, but I know that I want to see it all!
[If Errl doesn't fit the tone very well, I have some other ideas. just let me know!]
Great! We have a full up party of 7 players! Should be perfect. All of these players are in the party: Epiphany, Nekraen, Darth Gravid, AJMartino, MindDetective, Goodrail, and Profgenclean.
I'm new to running a thread on here sorta so I will figure out how to make it all setup correctly.

I see we don't really have a magic user and I actually love playing magic users anyway. So I think I will change my character.
Welcome, the Elf name Kyu.
Sick of scraping by, living on the streets of a city in the material plane, Kyu came across the ancient tome of "Utoob" that "fell off the back of a truck" and taught himself the wizardly arts! Now, equipped with his new skills and a deep desire to never return to the city that felt like a prison for so long, he makes his way out into the world. Shortly after beginning his journey, he comes across a flyer. 1,500 gp to scoop up some random elf! That's more money than I have ever seen in my life! Now, if only I can find this city... Bittborg?
I’m interested as well! I’ll roll stats here and post my character later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Oklet’s try this again.

Alright here’s my character. ddb.ac/characters/5155207/ny3pDn
Nox had always been a drifter and a bit of a thief. A lifted purse here, a bit of blackmail there. It’s easy when you never wear the same face twice. Eventually her patron took notice. An Archfey, though she never knew their name. This archfey explained that they had aided her family for thousands of years and with Nox’s brothers death, now it was her turn. She soon after learned of the bounty for the dark elf. What a wonderful opportunity to test out her newly given abilities.
Note that I'm using some PHB and Xanathar's content that isn't free online, so some of my features are listed under the notes section of my character sheet.
Name: Emeny Weaver
Details: Human (Variant), Warlock (Celestial pact), Lawful Good, Acolyte
Focus: Role play and combat healing. I'll expand into more support options as we level up.
I grew up in a small, rural village that was built around a church of St. Cuthbert. My piety and diligence earned me the respect of the religious community's elders, and they raised funds for me to travel to a far away abbey where I could begin my education to become a priest. I quickly realized that the St. Cuthbert my community worshiped was not the same as the one my peers knew: It was an alien entity mistaken for a God. Rather than being dismayed by this, I turned my studies toward religious history and the occult in an attempt to explore this false God's identity and my relation to it. My work was discovered and I was forced to flee the abbey carrying nothing but my notes and "The Book of Obscure Shadows," a heretical text that surely contains the key to understanding my deity. In the time between these events and meeting my fellow adventurers, I have been travelling from town to town making a living by performing religious services and simple healings. Everywhere I go, I am inquisitive about new clues and wary of potential pursuers.
Should the campaign continue in this thread or shall I start a fresh one? Is there a way to keep the thread private so only the party can post? Just wanna streamline this for everybody. Looks like all of you have characters ready to go!

Here is Ironwall, a Goliath Fighter rescued by a local noble and put to work guarding one of his towns: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/MindDetective/characters/5154137
He earned a mythic reputation (and his nickname, which his clan had never given to him) holding back a goblin raid at the bridge outside of the village until help arrived. I can whip up a more colorful narrative later, including how Ironwall ends up in Bittborg..

Not sure, but I think you can start a campaign under “My Content” and invite us all to it.
