As stated I tend to also prefer spellcasters. Mainly wizards and warlocks, but I also enjoy bards and in some cases clerics. I'd highly prefer wizard, warlock or bard, though. However, let it be known that I highly prefer dark/sinister options if avalible I.E. Necromancer wizards, fiend-pact warlocks and even Death Domain Clerics(If the point buy is high enough to get at least 14 cha.), and have a very big affinity for morally questionable PCs. I almost always play an evil PC if the option to do so is on the table, my prefered alignment being Lawful Evil. However, I can swing a netural character as well(and possibly even a good one, though I tend to not to enjoy good alignments all that much), and am willing to compromise. So if you are all overwhelimingly against an evil PC I am quite willing to play a slightly less sinister character. Either way, my background will almost certainly be noble and this is non-negotable, I just enjoy playing nobility too much not to take that background. Also note I have a strange RP quirk in that any character I play must have at least 14 charisma, which inevidbly draws me to cha-based classes. Thus if your playing with a low point buy I'll almost certainly be playing something based on cha. Game wise, I do like there to be a role play element but I usually don't do "voice over" unless I'm playing an evil-aligned male necromancer/warlock/"black magic" caster(about the only voice over I can do "good,") or the game is meant to be a pure farce/comedy.(As any other voice I try and do will either suck to hillarious degrees or be purposly ridicilous.) I do enjoy combat, but I am not a fan of "meat grinders" and have a tendency to take time crafting my characters, so games that are so difficult encounter-wise that I am constantly rolling new sheets are not my cup of tea. I guess I tend to like a good mix of combat and RP, with a slight leaning towards RP. I do enjoy having some degree of comedy at the table, ethough, even if it's entirely OOC....I just prefer a light-hearted, low-pressure atmosphere. Puzzles I am netural on. I tend to not be all that great at them, but usually somebody else in the party is so I just let them deal with them. So feel free to use or not use them, I have no preference on that one. Pretty much every game I've ever played, in any edition, has been your typical adventuring party out to complete X epic quest/defeat X villain, with a combination of dungeons, wilderness adventurers and the ocasional stay in cites. I've honestly never played a heavy political or urban campaign, nor have I ever played a villain campaign despite playing almost exclusively evil PCs(I'm pretty much always the "token evil teamate."), but that dosen't mean I'd be appose to such things. I'm open to pretty much any kind of game setup even if it's unfammilar to me as long as it's not a plotless hackfest or character-slaughtering meat grinder. Finally, let it be known I do not like being forced to roll for ability scores. I will only play in a game if there is some alternative to rolling for determining your ability scores. I don't mind games where rolling is an option, I just don't want it to be the only option as I tend to have terrible luck with ability rolls. While I do highly prefer point buy for ability scores, I am certainly fine with using the default ability generation rules for 5e and simply taking the array in place of rolling. However, point buy would certainly be a nice option to have. ;)
