[LFP][DnD5e][GMT+1][Free] Home-brew Campaign Looking for Players

Hello Everyone, A friend of mine is returning to DMing DnD and has a home-brewed world he is eager for us to play in. First session is this week, wednesday 1pm GMT+1, with sessions held hopefully every week. My friend has chronic back problems so will likely need to take weeks off once in a while. The campaign will be primarily Theatre of the mind, using roll20 for dice rolls, DnDbeyond for character sheets, and discord with microphone for voice chat. Having the beyond20 browser plugin would be recommended as this will allow you to just use a dndBeyond character sheet for your dice rolls in roll20. About the Game: The main campaign statement is "Humble Beginnings", so the DM is fine with what ever character concept you have as long as it fits within the following boundaries.  The game will be RP focused, starting on a trade settlement called "Safehaven". We will be starting at Level 1 We currently have 3/6 slots filled with a Wood Elf Barbarian, a High Elf Cleric and a Halfling Bard. The DM stresses that you are to use PHB and Xanathars guide material only, as this is his first campaign in 5e and wants to keep it simple, having less books he needs to read. He also wants to work with you to flesh out a backstory, and wants to weave this into the narrative. If interested please post with; Name/Nickname: Timezone: Age: Character Idea; Name: Race: Sex: Class: Background: Other:

Name/Nickname: Jacob G Timezone: PST Age: 35 Character Idea: Burner Mage Name: Hel Race: Human Sex: Male Class: Wild Magic Sorceror Background: Sage Other: His patron wizard locked him out when Hel didn't take to the books and started burning them accidently.

Name: Shauna/Erurainia Time zone: GMT Age: 25 Character Idea Name: Melody Birdsong Race: variant human Sex: Female Class: Bard Background: Entertainer Other: Melody was born to a family of well known bards and musicians, so it was not surprise to anyone that they had named there daughter Melody. When she was young, she were adored by the crowds that came to see her mother and father. "Such talent in someone so small! Shes definitely your child!" People would exclaim. When she grew older she found herself never being able to master a task. A Jack of all trades, but a master of none if you will. At 16, as soon as she was able she waved goodbye to her family, in search of her talent and one day she would come home and her mother and father would be proud of her.  (Tldr; she is young, naive and tries the hardest at everything she does. She doesnt understand lazy people and believes you can do anything that you can set your mind to.) Hope this is okay!

Name/Nickname: Kyan / (Teapot)Panda Timezone: gmt +1 (Belgium) Age: 28 Character Idea; Illusion wizard, prolly somewhat john constatinish Name: Bael Lumos Race: Human Sex: Male Class: Wizard (sublass illusion) Background: Criminal smugglar , tired of a petty life of smuggling Bael wants to venture out into the world leaving his past behind. Unfortunetly he still has a large debt to the underwold on his back and his illusions are to useful to just let him go..

Also got a second char idea below if you dont want / someone else has a better mage idea. Character Idea; Name: Aurora Race: Wood elf Sex: Female Class: Ranger ( Beastmaster ) Background: Noble Other: Aurora is wood elf of highborn stature within her tribe, Altho her family has some repution they have been dwindeling for years so she left her home in search of fame and honor. Her most desired goal as hunter is to one day tame a dragon like how her ancestors did a long time ago granting them nobility. Altho age has thought her that it was probally exagerated.. or not ? As for beast companion Elk isn't listed but i would prefer it ( you can remove the charge attack) for looks.

Hello Everyone, thanks for the responses so far. I would like to stress however that as I said we do currently have a Barbarian, a Cleric and a Bard. So please bare this in mind when crafting your character ideas. we would like to avoid the potential of "stepping on toes" and would like each character to be fairly distinctive, this just helps each character have moments to shine more. I do know the barbarian wants to be a totem warrior, the cleric is forge domain and the bard is thinking of becoming either college of swords or college of lore.  Thanks

Name/Nickname: Andrew Timezone: CST Age: 29 Character Idea; Eldritch Knight Name: Garudur Race: Half-Orc Sex: Male Class: Fighter Background: Noble Other: Garudur's parents were wed when a large tribe of orc's and the local nobility came to peace after many skirmishes. To solidify the peace treaty the orc chief married one of his daughters to the local lord's son. Garudur was born out of this union though he is not well liked by his peer's and as his mother is the second wife of his father and the youngest son he is far from being entitled to land. He thus seeks to become a knight and prove to his human family that he is worthy, as well as make his mother proud.(This is just the general background I had thought up. I have more I would go into if you want to hear, as well as it's all up for change, nothing is set in stone. I would also be willing to play other classes and can come up with ideas to fit to the campaign.)                                              

Name/Nickname: David/Roma Timezone: GMT-3 Age: 26 Character Idea; Name: Scabandari "Bloodeye" Irake Race: Dragonborn (or Human) Sex: Male Class: Paladin (Oath of Conquest) Background: Charlatan Other: (I don't know the place dragonborn have in this world, so i'm willing to change anything). Scabandari is a proud member of the Irake clan, said to be heirs of the blood of blass dragons. He tell in his tales to the few fortunate to hear, for just a few coin. He talks of his great noble clan that was destroyed by a vile necromancer and now he seeks revenge of his lost family... Or at least that's what he told me last time. Scabandari is meant for greatness (or so he says). Few can deny he has a talent for magic and sword, which makes him all the more bothersome. With just a couple of people he can call friends Scabandari seems always willing to show his greatness and honor... for the right amount of coin of course.

Name/Nickname: Greg Timezone: EST Age: 32 Character Idea: Name: Corvin "Cor" Leonis Race: Variant Human (or Elf) Sex: Male Class: Rogue/Fighter (Gunslinger, if possible) Background: Urchin Other: Trained by a wealthy benefactor who found me on the streets. Trained to be a noble but also a hunter/killer.    

Name/Nickname: Annie Timezone: +1 GMT Age: 26 I have a chronic illness too, so I very much understand needing to taking it easy every now and then. Best wishes to your dm!  Character Idea: I'd love to play a spellcaster or a tactically-minded fighter. If it would be possible to make the character with the DM and the other players so it all fits together well, that'd be great! But for the sake of playing along... Name: Ellie  Race: Rock gnome Sex: Female Class: Storm Sorcerer Background: Guild Artisan Other: Ellie fancies herself a spelltinkerer. It's only natural really, when you hail from a long line of wizards and tinkerers. She just never really found the need for all those books and scrolls. Better to learn by doing, right? She's always upbeat and ready to face a challenge. Unless it includes... gulp ... heights.

Name/Nickname: Butter Timezone: GMT-5/CST Age: 18 Character Idea Name: Rol Liadon  Race: Wood Elf Sex: Male Class: Rogue/Scout Background: Outlander Other: Rol was born into a Wood Elf Community that prided itself on creating a sanctuary for natural life around its Elven Forest. Many rare or endangered animals, magical or otherwise, could find a place to survive under the guidance of this community. Rol decided from a young age that he would join the tight-knit group of his kin that defended their forest from intrusion, known as the Watchers. Rol succeeded in joining the lower ranks and worked with the Watchers to fend off poachers and predators for a decade. Eventually, the shine and gleam of the Watchers wore down and Rol was taken by wanderlust, and expressed his interest in exploring the outside world for a time. His family found his chosen path disappointing but credited it to Rol's ignorance and young age, assuming a handful of years would see this new found interest culled if he left the community for a time. With the blessing of his family, Rol packed up and headed out into the world to learn and explore.

Name/Nickname: Floris Timezone: CET (GMT+2) Age: 25 Character Idea:  Name: Rook Race: Half-Orc Sex: Male Class: Fighter/Battlemaster Background: Soldier Other: (Short summary of his backstory) Rook was an urchin on the city streets until he was taken in by the black sheep of a power hungry noble house who unlike his family held the virtues of knighthood dear to his heart and adopted Rook in all ways but name since the family would never allow it. Many years were spend squiring for his now father figure who was grooming him for knighthood in order to protect his noble house for he believed they had made many enemies because of their greed. Eventually he passed away but not without first pleading to Rook on his deathbed to become a knight and protect his family despite their faults and while the family reluctantly accepted Rook into the house's guard regiment out of respect for their unle they had no intention of letting him ascend to knighthood. Thus Rook served the house faithfully for many years all the while pursuing this knighthood but the family stubbornly worked against him in this matter for he wasn't of noble blood not to mention an half-orc and while frustrating he didn't condemn or blame them for anything for he intends to keep the oath he swore to his foster father regardless of the circumstances. It started to look like the rest of his life would be spend in these castle walls for he was starting to grow old until but that all changed for there were forces at work that planned to remove the family from power and on one dreadful night these plans came to fruition; the castle was besieged by assassins that slaughtered many of the family line and burned their lands to the ground. Rook tried to withstand this assault all the while protecting the family but failed miserably and was mortally wounded only surviving by the skin of his teeth as faith would have it.  He failed in everything he promised himself to uphold and became filled with despair, shame and sorrow. But he wasn't broken.. not yet. For he still drew breath and swore he would serve his house and uphold his foster father's legacy as long as he drew breath. Thus Rook set out on his journey to find any potential survivors, who were responsible and to perhaps finally if possible claim his knighthood while trying to do his part in the world.
