Too early and on too little sleep to look at everything properly just yet, but mirroring our dear Crash.

That said, do I spy with me faceplate-hidden eye that you're only disallowing unsocial grumpypants and grimdark mcbroodsalots? Sooo a reasonably social and party friendly person with questionable morals and the foresight not to put them on display around the more lawfully inclined would be fine?  :D
Now this is the Law of the Jungle-
as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may  prosper,
but the Wolf that shall break it must die.

Correct, Unsocial McGrumpyPants and Grimdark McBroodsalot are terrible people and may not enter this game! :)

As long as those questionable morals aren't "does dickish things just to get away with it" it's probably fine. If you want to expand on your idea a little I can give better feedback. I'm very okay with counterculture/revolutionary types or types who think the ends justify the means provided I know what ends they are going for.

Okay, caught up on PMs.

Just so everyone knows, I'm giving critical feedback of everyone who submits characters. My goal is to build the best possible fit for the setting and character whose story I can best make fun and interesting based on what you want to play. Please nobody take it personal if certain concepts don't work or if I ask to rethink a point or two! I assure you this is happening to everyone and the goal is to make everything more fun long term! =)

Got permission from Red to mention this in the interest check--I got my final concept hammered out. I'll be playing (if accepted!) Marwyn Rivers, a human fighter, young and still fairly idealistic.  ;D Heavy armor and a shield, looking at a good Con score--is likely he'll be a good tank.

Crash

Working through fleshing out concepts.

I've had a few questions from people about what others are submitting. I have no problem if anyone wants to say what they are thinking of!

So far Fighter, Rogue, and Monk have attracted the most interest. This doesn't mean others can't be those classes though. I honestly don't really care much if we end up with all of the same class or no spellcasters or all spellcasters or whatever. I want people to play what they think is fun and with all the different way 5e characters can end up multiple of the same class doesn't mean they'll be similar at all to actually play.

But... thats BOTH of my character templates WAT DO NAO?!

Geeklet

Also, what if the character seems to be Unsocial McGrumpyPants only because thats what society expects out of her?

It blends you say? Well as long as they are only one class to start out with! :D

Depends on what you mean by 'seems.' If you mean 'looks like she wouldn't be social' that's fine. If you mean 'actually isn't social' than that would be a problem.

Also character sheets will go here once the concept/background stuff is approved and will be worked on between me and the player. You can see me and Blythe are working at his fighter there. :)

Do any of you have jobs that you all are getting characters pumped out so quickly?! Geesh! I only got to read half last night before I crashed. Hopefully I can read the rest this evening and get a character done.

I primarily work from home.  :P Though I've been reading along with the world building thread while it was in-progress for quite a while now (since about mid-December), so it's not so much that I'm fast making a character. Is more that I had time to think it over for much longer than what it might initially seem. Have actually had well over two weeks to conceptualize the idea and scribble notes about it. <_<

I read quickly, and a character concept materialized out of thin air.

Hehe, Reaper...

I like big guns and I cannot lie
You other undead can't deny
'Cause when a team walks in I get all up in their face and I spin glide 'round the place and they DIE~

I'm not entirely sure why I did that XD

I had today off so I've made a lot of progress on stuff people have sent me. If I hadn't you'd all probably still be waiting for the first response. :)

Whowhatwhere--I really like your character backstory for Bast! The pirate angle's really neat, and I really like how Bast got his job offer for the Irregulars.  ;D
