[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5680385, member: 463"] Do you enjoy playing support characters? If so, then good. Check what would fit well into the group - if there are 2 Clerics already you might not want to bring a 3rd in. I'd go for a PC personality that was extroverted, pleasant, and had a moderate schtick the other players can pick up on - slight accent, older, younger, etc. You should probably play a PC of the same sex as yourself for your first PC, IME, though this varies by player group. If the PC group is non-evil, I'd recommend playing LG or maybe NG alignment. Re 'characters sitting around from play by posts game' - be careful here, don't bring the 5-page-backstory, 3-years-in-a-PBEM character into a new game. As a DM it's a big red flag for me if I get an 8 page backstory of a new PC's old adventures in some other guy's campaign. The new PC can be [I]inspired by[/I] your old PC, but should be essentially a new, fresh character for the new game. [/QUOTE]
