[LFG][Online][Free][DND 5e] Gay bear with a very specific character wanting to be played in a serious/roleplay heavy type game.

I've not joined an Online D&D game in a long time. Friends have started with other groups and makes me realize I should really just search for what I'm looking for online as I often don't mesh with other playstyles like beer and chips. Firstly I'm gay and really into bear men (Larger, hairy guys) so if that's something that'd bother you in game - Totally fine to pass me over. I'm not overly sexual, if anything the character I'll want to play is closer to Asexual, but it is a theme that'll probably come up at some point. I'd prefer a custom world rather than a pre-made adventure or pre-existing setting like Faerun. I'm not ruling out pre-existing setting, but I am ruling out pre-made adventures. The character I want to play will be a Half-Orc Warlock of [TBD] archetype, who succumb to the [Underdark like equivalent] and forged a pact with the [Myconid patron] of the biomes he was researching and studying. Reborn with a new purpose of saving Myconid life his patron reforged his body, while still Half-orc, his hair and skin have brighter unusual colors along with a faint bio luminescence. Play style is very RP focused. I cherish character interaction, growth and story development over most things. On the other hand, while I do agree with the rule of cool, I've often seen looser gameplay mechanic groups just hand out power causing quick imbalance to the party for features which sound cool. I do also really enjoy combat from a wargaming perspective and still enjoy roleplay during battle - but I do want the tactic grid battle to be fair among the players. I'm pretty game for any campaign theme outside of comedy/super light hearted/beer and chips. Darker themes are fine, Horror is fine. I'm open to discussion. I'm in EST in eastern US and am pretty flexible with playtimes currently.

I'm a UK based DM putting some groups together I have a listing of a couple of games below, i'm happy to run games for players of all levels, so if you fancy a low level game, a level 20 game or anywhere in between, I can run that depending on the groups preferance. your charector sounds like a very interesting idea that i would happily fit into my homebrew world the game time and date is not set in stone, So if we get a group together I can run them at a time convenient for everyone. as i am UK based, it would probably me early - mid afternoon your time if thats ok Game 1 - Defenders of the institute <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/12029803/defenders-of-the-institute-low-level-game" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/12029803/defenders-of-the-institute-low-level-game</a> The local Young mages school is looking for adventurers to stay at the Mage school, on standby for if you are needed, as the Emergency Response Management team. You are given free board, free food, access to the spellbook library, and rewarded for specific missions. The job tends to include a fetch quest a week or 2 and defending the school if a crisis happens. You start at level 1, with standard starting gear. This campaign take your characters to level 5. It can lead into further campaign if players wish. Game 2 - Assault on Lich Tower <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/12018830/assault-on-the-lich-tower-level-20-adventure" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/12018830/assault-on-the-lich-tower-level-20-adventure</a> For nearly a decade, there has been an evil lich terrorizing people in the area. For the most part, if you stroke his ego, he isn't too bad. But enough of a nuisance for many adventurers to go to his tower. Many never returned. Many return, scarred and tormented by their experience. The most stubborn fighters were returned, and soon their life began to fall to ruins as everything dear to them became lost. However, recently the princess of the country dared to stand against him. He took her soul, leaving her a husk of a person, yet still alive (think dementors kiss). The king has gathered you, some of the strongest adventurers in the country to go to the liches Tower. Your mission is to recover the princess' soul. And you will be handsomely rewarded. However, if you can stop the lich from continuing his terrors, that reward will increase exponentially. This game may take 3-4 sessions, and can expand and continue after that to cover 3 modules. This game will be ran using level 20 charectors this is a high level game, so I would suggest newer players steer away. I do run other games that are lower level so more beginner friendly
