Here's the bones; if the mechanics are alright I'll work on a proper few paragraphs of biography. :)

Im probably going to need atleast a little bit of everyone's history, for story bits.

also @lunarius do you have an image or description of their appearance.

What I'm thinking for our starting location.

The Floatilla


Basically its a city of ships, lashed and planked together. It travels a circuitous route throughout the sea as a type of by water caravan, trading at one port for spices and gemstones in desert markets and selling them to the ice covered lands for blocks of ice and pelts, stopping at every other land in between. All kinds of folks take advantage of the sea city to travel and trade and regardless of race, there is a community effort to feed the hundreds of sailors and their families and provide profit to the Guild Lords that fund its voyages.

Your characters could be on their own journey, coincidentally taking passage on this floatilla, or you can already know eachother, perhaps having a bit of shared history.

No image yet. :)

"Rre, shi?" The tabaxi's ears moved in feigned confusion as she gestured to herself, and her almost luminous green eyes blinked in near perfect mimicry of uncertainty.

"Sha Kiris kel Trell, ressa." The sounds rolled from her like the purring of a cat, and as the hairless creature -- the human, Kiris reminded herself -- furrowed its brows in perplexity she had to hold back a chuff. This fellow had been sat just down the bar discussing his 'curiosity' as though she couldn't hear him, but now that he was stymied by an unexpected language barrier he could only sputter a few more attempts before he walked away.

She'd travelled overland and port to port across the world, mostly eastward, for five years and in that time Kiris had met plenty of curious people. The further she got from home the more likely it was she stood out until, here at last, she sat in another new tavern and tried to decide what to drink. It was certainly warmer here than it would be at home, but then again life in the Black Barrens was framed by snow and ice, and often punctuated by untimely death. That wasn't why she'd left, though, and her tail flicked in minor annoyance as she pushed the thought away. She didn't want to think about her family right now, or their expectations. With luck they'd given up on those dreams once she'd run away.

Kiris wore some of her souvenirs on her person in the form of a fine bow (1), a fitted shirt of padded scale (2), and a broad bracelet of lapis lazuli and silver (3) -- but otherwise she wore a sturdy belt in addition to the travel-worn satchel, quiver, and paired spears. The fur atop her head grew slightly longer and shaggier than over the rest of her body, and in some of it she'd braided bits of shaped gems or bones.

Kiris Trell stood at just under 5 feet, 4 inches and weighed close to 80 pounds. Her slim frame was well built for climbing and sneaking, and the colour of her grey-brown fur lent itself well to natural camouflage. In strong sunlight faint rosettes of darker grey can be seen along the fur of her arms, legs, and back. Her tail, itself close to 5 feet in length, was banded in rings of steadily darkening black until the rounded tip. Some would suggest that Kiris looked something akin to a cougar, or mountain lion, though the shape of her head and thickness of her fur suggested more than passing resemblance to snow leopards as well.

As of late she has been seen in the constant company of a young panther, a nearly black and subtly spotted beast most likely from one of the lush jungles of Ikar, or Taglee. Still an adolescent, the size of the panther's feet suggest that she might grow to rival even the ferocious tigers of Taglee.

I'll get to work on the history.

@EliteOne 800

You haven't set the CS to allow anyone with a link to view it. We can't read it if you don't.

[EliteOne 800]

I did it.

[Arthanus]

I would like to throw my hat into the ring here. Trying to get a character onto a computerized sheet. Was going to be my first DnD character so trying to figure out the basics to character creation.

[ShwiggityShwah]

That makes 4 players perfect for a party.

[rush99999]

Im probably going to need atleast a little bit of everyone's history, for story bits.

@ShwiggityShwah

How would you prefer to receive it? Should I post it here? PM it to you? Stick it somewhere on my CS? Or do you have no preference?

[ShwiggityShwah]

@rush99999
No preference. I'll look over all of them tomorrow and see if theres any issues.

[lunarius]

@Arthanus Welcome to the party!

[Arthanus]

There we go I think this should work. Let me know what you think.

@lunarius Thank you good sir glad to be here.

[Saarebas]

Hey all I would love to throw my hat into this =) I've only recently really started to dip my toes into actual DnD RPing so if you guys are alright with a newbie joining your party I would love the opportunity

[ShwiggityShwah]

@lunarius

Your call. But 5 players should be the absolute max. Line stops here.

@Saarebas

[ShwiggityShwah]

@EliteOne 800

Bare in mind, so far we have a neutral cat, a good human, and you are an evil giant kin. Your character does play well with others correct? And because I can't see if, what is your character's class? Action surge, so my guess is fighter.

Also

@Arthanus

We have a ranger already.

I believe that variety is the slice of life, but its up to the person who started this. If you don't mind the overlap in capabilities, we can start with this crew.

[EliteOne 800]

He is a fighter. Most of the time he is a decent guy but the person he serves is evil and he serves her unfailingly-- she is the reason he is adventuring, after all. He is looking for something to deal with a troublesome enemy of hers.

[Arthanus]

Ha figured out how to get what I wanted on that site. Give me a bit to make the character I actually wanted then I'll post it up

[lunarius]

@Saarebas@ShwiggityShwah Re: 5th member
Sorry, I'm not up for it. I want to stick with 1-2 other players and we have that at present.

@Arthanus@ShwiggityShwah Re: Overlap
There's so much available to us that overlap shouldn't need to happen. :D

[Saarebas]

@lunarius@ShwiggityShwah No worries, I understand. I wish you guys luck with your adventures =)

[Arthanus]

There we go figured it out. No need for 2 rangers anymore :)
