Good point. I'll update the RG with the more salient stats (and alignment, because I apparently forgot that was a thing).

I just stumbled across this and the intro certainly caught my attention! Are you still recruiting?

Sorry, no. I'm a bit behind in getting this started, but recruiting closed a couple of days ago. Sorry.

Not a problem at all. I'll probably end up following along anyways and if you need a spot filled let me know 
Alright, I decided to make a few slight touch-ups to my character sheet, and now my formatting is messed up. Every time I save my edit, an extra {/sblock}{sblock=Spellcasting} gets added, even if I hit edit, remove that bit, and then resave. How do I prevent this from happening?
Edit: I finally got it to save without adding that line, though I have no idea what changed.

Here is the first draft for my character write-up. I went with a elven fighter (Archer), since we seem to have a pretty good melee line (Barbarian, Rogue, melee Bard); will probably MC into Rogue and/or Ranger.

Description: [sblock] At a first glance, Lenya seems like a timid little mouse of a woman, the sort of person that just naturally slips past all but the most careful attention- both unthreatening and unworthy of notice. She is quite small and slender, even by elven standards, with pale skin and light grey, nearly colorless, eyes; her hair is pale blond and cut very short, nearly shaved- this is quite unusual among the elven folk. She dresses in simple clothing, mostly in shades of grey- even her armor is covered in cloth so that it appears to be a close-fitting hooded jacket (though perhaps a bit bulky for her small frame). She tends to be quiet and calm, and does not raise her voice- in social situations she seems timid, nearly fading into the woodwork. Except for her weapons, it might be easy to mistake her for a servant of some sort, or perhaps a minor clerk. The only jarring notes are the bowcase and large quiver strapped to the side of her pack- and the fact that she is, to a truly careful observer, utterly calm even in the face of disaster… [/sblock]
History: [sblock] Lenya was born into the elven Worker caste, on a small and fairly remote island. Like many of her kin, she worked at the large monastery that was the island’s most notable feature, serving the needs of the Religious folk there. For several years, she tended to the simplest of menial tasks, but like all of the Workers, she took her turn on guard atop the monastery’s walls with a ready bow in case of rogue goblins or other raiders. After a while she was assigned as a personal attendant to one of the monastery’s older residents, a priestess who was widely renowned for her knowledge of the elven prophet Valen. Lenya grew to know the legends of Valen, which seemed to speak to her very soul. Over the years, her mistress had many visitors- while they were supposedly other scholars, many of them were obviously hardened warriors. In time, Lenya began to recognize some of these regular visitors, and often spoke with them about the legends of Valen. In time, her mistress finally passed away. For a brief time, Lenya was adrift and purposeless… Then she left the monastery and island that had been her home, to seek out some of the folk who had visited her mistress so regularly. And when she found them, she found a new home, and a new purpose, in the secretive order known as the Anla-shok (an ancient elven term). While she was too old to begin training in their secretive arts, her devotion was quite clear- and the order was too small to discard such a willing ally. After a time, she was sent out into the world to observe- and to prepare for what Valen had warned them was coming…

Fantastic character, patherfinderq1. I like your archer theme.
Btw, your sblocks, as it was pointed out to me earlier, can have a description. Use: {sblock=History}Text here{/sblock} to replace the Spoiler word with whatever custom words you want.
Also, the rest of us put our characters in this forum: Rogues Gallery
As far as our party, we have a Cleric, a Barbarian, a Rogue, a Bard, and now a Fighter. Soon(??), we'll also have a Sorcerer. It appears the Cleric, Barbarian, and Rogue will all be melee focused, but don't think my Bard'll be melee for long. Give me a few levels, and I'll be nothing but spells and healing.

Yes, Sorceress is coming! I honestly had not realized just how different 5e spellcasting and the spells were so I'm taking my time to really read them over. It's actually made choosing spells super hard, especially since I don't get many but they also level up as you go...
I don't think I will need spells right off the bat and MV already knows my background and path so we probably could start roleplaying whenever he is ready. I can also post my character sheet and add in the spells in the next couple of days if that helps people. We'll be pretty busy this weekend and next (my daughter is having her 10th birthday party sleepover next Saturday and we thought some of the kids wouldn't be allowed and they are so now there are TEN girls sleeping over next Saturday!! :-o ) but I will try to get it done asap.
