[LFP][18+][5e] Planescape: The Lies Behind The Truth – New campaign

Hey, an old time-y DM here. I've been playing since 3.0e D&D start (got to play jussst a bit of 2e), 3.5e, Pathfinder and now 5e. I want to start a new campaign, set in the Planescape setting, and I'm looking for 4-5 players .   Campaign ruleset: 5e ruleset, with some homebrew stuff and UA with possible approval and changes. Players : 4-5 players, 18+ of age. Setting : Planescape – An 2ed setting focusing on playing in a Planar Setting with Sigil, the City of Doors and its Factions as the main conflict. TZ: European, GMT+2/3. I am in those times but those flexible with their time can apply!   Voice only : no typing, no video- working mic! Using Discord! Availability during the week is needed in case I need to sort stuff out with players to save time during the session itself. Characters* : Anything (within reasonable limits of starting at level 1), including monstrous or bizarre-lore-obscure things. Experience : There will be combat, puzzles, adventure and roleplaying! Weird voices may be included. Weekly gatherings* : Primary time would be at Saturdays, GMT+2/3 at 14:00, sessions would usually go for 5 or so hours. House Rule : All homebrew or UA stuff, including my own stuff, is bound to change if it's deemed broken. Probably even the main rules if they get abused horridly somehow and I can't balance them out. So that's your warning! Other Stuff : There will be a session zero and a one-page explanation that's more in-depth into the campaign and setting for whoever wants to participate. So obviously not everything's here, but that's the main stuff.   *Notes : About characters : More powerful beings that a player might wish to play as, like a celestial, dragon or such, might have to start from the bottom of the ladder and 'ascend' as the campaign goes on. However, if you're going to be playing a weird monstrous race, you'll need to know about them, even if your PC might not! So, you'd be able to play them appropriately and not just like a human wearing the skin of an illithid!   About session times : If not enough people can make it a session can be rescheduled either earlier in the day or another day where everyone (or most) can make it, even for a shorter session, to make it as weekly as possible regardless of RL. A warning ahead as much as possible will be required if someone is a no-show! Don't miss too many sessions, including rescheduled ones! I know there is RL, but unless something huge is going on on your part and you explain it, it'll be problematic to continue with someone who isn't around.   If you have any questions, please ask!   If you want to join: Either post here, or send me a message. We'll talk it out and go over the general outline, see if all's good, and continue from there!

Clarifications: Starting level is 1. Using Point Buy system. There is still room for 1-2 more players!
Unfortunately, one of the players left on the first session, so I am seeking one more!
Name: Michael/Pink Discord ID: Pinklink#4895 Experience in D&D 5e: 3+ years A character in mind to play: Niall Denham, Dhampir (Formally Human) Echo Knight Fighter.  Character Concept: Born to a noble family of wealth and influence, Niall spent much of his time studying in the ways of combat. His teacher was a grizzled but soft spoken battle hardened veteran of long forgotten war. Through the use of ancient texts, he acquired the knowledge to replicate a shadow of himself. Eventually using this ability to great effect to defeat a rival of the family in a duel. His free time was used to court a young Baron's daughter. He lived a life free of need or coin. Like any tale, all good things must come to an end. One day, while on assignment from his father, Niall's estate was overrun by a hungry pack of vampires. The perimeter was overcome, the guards drained or outright slaughtered. As the vampires encroached further onto the property, the rest of the family overhead the commotion. Arming themselves, they prepared for what they thought where brigands and bandits. The Master Vampire approached the house, made his demands and ordered everyone from the home under the threat of death. Upon leaving the house after a few moments of pleading and sobbing cries, a swarm of vampires descended of the group like a wave of darkness. Only catching the tail end of of bloodshed, Niall managed to ride and face their twisted leader. In a fit of rage and anguish, he changed The Master to a duel. Niall did his best against the furry of blows but this vampire's strength and cunning was unlike any mortal foe he fought before. Disarmed, bloody and near moments from death, The Master sunk his fangs into Niall's neck, draining him of his life. He awoke a night later with a great hunger. 
I am fine with the character concept with a few notes: 1) Why did he not turn to a full vampire? 2) The game is high on levity, so it’s fine to have a serious character, but the world itself isn’t going to take anything too seriously. 3) Did you read the post?
Hey are you by chance still looking for players?
