[LFP] Text only RP for developing your character!

Hey everyone! I have an idea of running player-focused text-based game for 3 to 4 players maximum in a heavily simplified version of D&D. What’s the basic idea? You don’t build characters for my story, instead I build the story around your characters. I have the main plot that you can follow if you would like to but the main story will be around the characters you make. You will have your own unique spells and abilities that rely on your character’s backstory. You can tell me what aspects of your backstory you want to develop during the game (find lost sibling, revenge someone, etc.), what secrets do you want to keep from your teammates or what powers to obtain. How will the game go? So my plan is that you say that you want to join in, give me your character idea, together we work on the skills your character has, people that character has connection to in this world, character’s knowledge of the maps, cities, history and everything else that is needed.   We will still have rolls for initiative, attacks and defense (if you decide to fight), special moves, persuasion and everything else that is needed but we will use simplified mechanics. What are expectations? I want it to be a story about your characters and because of that I want to play with people who love to role-play, you can even skip all the fighting if you feel like it. I need you to communicate with me, this whole game is about you and your character and I want to make this experience as pleasant for you as possible. I am not an experienced DM but – as I said before – I will do everything to make your game as pleasing as possible. When will be the game? Games will be in Discord and Roll20 on Wednesdays or Sundays, certain time will be decided when all players will be found. Game itself will start in October. Want to play or contact me? If you want to join the game you can post here or PM me with this form: Your name: Your age: Your character idea: What do you expect from the game: When you can play (and your time zone) : If you have questions, suggestions or if you like the idea in general but want something different you can PM me or add me on discord assnugget#3337. 
Sounds interesting, how many players do you have so far?
Only one player and me, I just started looking :з 
Sent a request on discord if you want to tell me more about the ideas behind your game
Looking for two more people!  Story starts with : You live in the world full of humans, half-elves and gnomes, each of the races being rather far from what they originally were. Most of the "magical" races have perished, leaving behind empty cities for humans to live in. You can still find survived tieflings, tabaxis, halflings and others in big cities, or pure elven villages (even though you will probably not be welcomed there) but it doesn't happen every day and nobody really knows why. The magic itself is rare as well and usually normal people can't see or feel its presence. One day you blink and open your eyes in an unknown room  and stranger offers you a job, saying that they will grant you a wish and get you back home (or wherever you were before appearing here) after you're done.
