Ok so I'm relatively new to online forum rpgs. What I'm hoping to do is run a D&D styled game here in my D&D world; focusing more on roleplaying, investigation, and exploration. With my current work schedule I can't be certain how active I'm going to be to advance the story, so expect the pacing to be on the slower side.
What I'm looking for is a party of 3-5 players to play this game with me. I dont want too many players since this is my first time trying this and keeping track of everyone could get crazy. I've generally seen that people on foum rpgs generally post the characters they want to play and wait for approval from the gm. I'd like to first gather the players that are interested and talk to them about and through character gen. I want to do it this way so everyone understands what kind of game this will be, what their characters should focus on, and what the game will be like. I hope this I'd ok with you guys.
Now for the actual character rules. First off I want to say no homebrew. I have enough new stuff to keep track of here. Characters will be starting off at level 2. It's low enough so challenges don't have to take hours yet high enough where y'all aren't fresh out of training. Finally, given the setting will primarily focus around one city and the surrounding area, I want to limit the races to the less "beastly" options. This will include, but not limited by, no Aarakocra, Bugbear, Dragonborn, Firbolg, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kenku, Kobold, Lizardfolk, Orc, Triton, or Yuan-ti.
These are all the rules I have so far. I'll probably edit this as questions arise. Please post below if you are interested and we can get this party started!

Ive never tried an RPG on forum. Sounds fun, and I do have a bit of free time.

Ok so y'all would make a party of 5. So more details beyond what's above:
We'll be using 5e D&D rules if I haven't made that clear. Again:no homebrew.
No evil characters. 5e doesn't have a strong care about alignment but if you're too evil or downright dickish you're getting the boot.
This games gonna be pretty investigative/ RP/ story focused, so don't worry too much about combat. Imma probably homebrew a good deal of stuff about that.
"Its what my character would do" is never an excuse to be an asshole. Your fictional character's fun should never trump your friend's fun. If issues arise try and talk to me and/or the other player to see what the issue is and how to resolve it.
Jessica has posted her character sheet to show y'all how it will look. This is an example for now. Please refrain from "making" a character til we can talk about more details of the game. I'm new to forum rpgs and it sounds like y'all are too. I wanna put in the session 0 work soon so we can start playing and having fun!

LowWatt; I would recommend posting them on the thread. If you want certain details to remain secret, those you should send as a message. Unless your whole character concept is that they are lying about everything they are, maybe then keep it a secret.

I'd love to tell you about it if you are interested.
