How will character creation work

Character creation will be handled either with pre-made characters given by the Blue Collar Dungeon Master to the players, or the players can make their own level 5 characters with the help of the BCDM prior to the session. Anyone joining the campaign after it begins will be given a character or can create their own characters at the appropriate level in consult with the BCDM.
