[LFP] [5e] [18+]Fridays 7 EST DnD 5e some custom rules. New players welcome. More difficult combat/Low Magic Setting/Actions have consequences

My wife and I co-GM a game set up in a homebrewed, morally grey world that incorporates scenarios and characters which are not easy to make quick judgments on--while still letting players engage with the setting as they wish.  If you are experienced, don't expect enemies to have stat lines you're familiar with; if you're not, tactics and quick thinking will keep you alive in most scenarios. Looking for players who want to explore the bounds of society, who are excited by choices that don't fit a binary of 'good' or 'evil', and who understand that fighting a 600lb troll most of the time ends poorly. By no means is that all there is, but to be forewarned is to be prepared!  We have 3 players ATM and are looking to expand.  As a player, you should expect a mix of both combat and social encounters.  Sessions are typically on Friday evenings from 7-11 pm EST.  We're friendly and flexible, and our players range from early to mid-twenties.  We're half working professionals, half college students. A couple of big restrictions of note to the campaign are magic and playable races.  Our playable races are humans, half-elves, elves (subrace: high, dark, wood, sea), dwarves (subrace: overground, underground), lizardmen, tieflings, warforged, triton, firbolgs, goliaths, satyrs. Magic is restricted to 1 school only for most spell casters and bards work slightly differently. This change is to help accommodate the rules of magic in the setting and we would love to tell you more about it through character creation and exploration of the world!
Hello, Robert! My name is John, but I also go by Hal. Whatever you prefer. I'm also a student, currently, having transitioned from a "career" in professional gambling to going to school ringer a degree in conservation biology. I've been trying to find a low magic game for what feels like eons and the restrictions have led me to be quite interested in the game concept so far.  Is there any information in particular you need from me to see if it's a fit for y'all's campaign? For my own curiosity, my only real question is what is the current party composition look like?

Hey Hal,      We have a Paladin, Bard, and Warlock. You can add me on discord HUD5552#5685. We really just need to know what you are interested in playing and how we can help make the game better for you including anything that crosses a line either morally or socially. We also like to chat for a bit while starting character generation so we can make sure everything is good to go and give you any lore for whatever decide to play. 
So wait is the school restriction like a prepared spellcaster thing, like a wizard would be restricted but a sorcerer wouldn't? Or is it like everything other than bard?
Everything is like that, I forgot to mention that sorcerers aren't playable due to magic bloodlines being strange for the alt rules of magic but all other casting classes are affected. The trade-off to playing a caster is you don't really have to fight through many magical defenses in combat and someone more along the lines of an illusion wizard gets much more bang for the buck as people don't really run into magic often if ever in the setting. Hope that answers your question!
Hello, Robert. I am usually a pathfinder player, but have a tiny experience in 5e too. I am  recently graduated from university in Ukraine, so you can count me as kind of a student. I would be happy to join to your game if you are still looking for players.
Robert I'm interested in playing in the campaign it sounds like it would be a very fun and interesting game to take part in.
Hello, Robert. My name is Lasse, im from Denmark. Your world sound really cool and I would love to play with you guys. Any more info you need just ask =)
Hi Robert and wife of Robert. I'm currently waiting for another game to start, but I think that we can all see how that tends to go -- I hope that it will work out and I'll not throw any spanners into the works, but I wouldn't bet on anything getting off the ground until I'm actually playing the game.  With that out of the way... your game is in my reliable availability, and it sounds very much like my sort of thing... a bit more immersive and gritty and which dares to make people step out of their routines and think a little bit about who they are, where they are, and what they're doing. I'd very much like to play.  I'm 25 going on 45. Sometimes looking for games around here makes me feel like a boomer but my spirit's still young... lol  Maybe you can keep me in mind should one of your other players drop out and you're in need of a replacement? Best of luck,  -Wendi. 
Hi Robert! I would love to potentially join your game, if you are still taking players. I have 30+ years experience, and I run a gritty, weekly West Marches game that is even lower magic and more restrictive than yours is! I'm looking for a game where I can be a player, and it sounds like you're running my kind of game! Let me know if you'd be open for a chat. I see that you have 3 CHA-based casters in your low magic world, so I guess I would avoid that space. I can and have played everything, so maybe I can propose some specifics if you can send me a basic overview or lore-dump, and any notes on what the party could use?
