How will character creation work

Characters will enter at the same level as the rest of the party. Pre-made characters make it easy to start. Launch Roll20 game, and you can pick your character from the Journal (newspaper icon, top right). If you want to make a character, roll for stats in chat. You may opt for Standard Array if you dislike your rolls. If you join after the group's Session 0, choose a pre-made character or you can build your character in Roll20 (+ D&D Beyond if desired) using the Charactermancer, before the game. Include at least 2 paragraphs of background story with at least one named person in their story. Characters should get along with others. There are no evil characters, "neutral" characters that are veiled evil characters, no emo loners who don't trust others. Fill in physical description and personality traits, ideals, bonds and flaws. If using D&D Beyond character sheet, you still need to roll for and use ability score rolls from Roll20 chat.
