FG License: GM has Ultimate License
Game System: D&D 5E
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5)
Day of week and time: Monday Afternoons 7-10 PM
New game: Character creation/Intro: June 25 | First full game: July 2
Planned Duration & Frequency: 3 hour sessions, weekly or biweekly as per group vote.
Term: Long term - Would like to go through the whole campaign.
Desired Team Makeup: New or old players welcome. Please Note: This is my first time DMing using FG as the main gaming method, so it will take a bit of getting used to on my part.
Text or Voice: Both, voice is likely to be used the most
Voice software used: Discord, unless the group thinks there's a better option.
Roleplay & Combat mix: 60/40 -- I try to incorporate both, I tend to be more RP heavy, and like it when people find creative solutions.
Number of Players in game & needed: 2-4. Already have two, one veteran and one newer player.
Character starting level & equipment: 1st level with standard array
Character restrictions: No characters that purposefully go against the party.
Character Suggestions: In the interest of making things fun, I like it when people choose a flaw and a useful quirk. Generally speaking I will give penalties for the flaw and benefits for the quirk at the very beginning and the more you play your character the more likely to be rewarded for it you are. For example, a holy man with a vow of extreme poverty would only be allowed to own basic survival gear, but would gain some monk-like abilities to make himself competitive with the foes. Or, another example, a compulsive liar would have to make will saves to tell the truth, but after using the same lie enough times said lie would be virtually undetectable via normal lie detection means (ex: zone of truth, sense motive... etc) due to the character himself coming to believe it to be the truth.
These Core rule books and supplement books are open:
Players Handbook
Xanathar's Guide to Everything
Details of your scenario:
A plague has descended over the world, those that have risen from the dead have begun to waste away at a rapid pace. Death magics are no longer working correctly, and in some cases, do not work at all. A friend has reached out to you with a proposal, solve this problem or bring her enough information to solve the problem herself, and she'll reward you with rare magical items... you know she's good for it, she is, after all, one of the most famous dealers of magical artifacts in the world.

The things I'd like to know are:
The character concept you'd like to play.
Your experience in D&D
What sort of things you're looking for in a DM
About Me:
I've been DMing D&D games seriously since 2004. I purchased FG in order to streamline my games, but unfortunately, with real life players on laptops it just never worked out. People would always end up playing around on the computer and ignoring the game, so I switched back to true table-top stuff with no tech. Recently, my gaming group has become too busy to have games with any regular frequency, so I decided to give FG another go, this time with players online.
My games tend to get very interesting and somewhat adult-oriented. If foul language and edgy jokes are not for you, we probably won't get along. In the interest of keeping things on track though, I would like to limit that sort of thing. To that end, I bought the Tomb of Annihilation module, that way we can keep to a somewhat pre-canned adventure and not stray off into the weeds. My players end up being very quirky and very involved with their characters, which I tend to like, but sometimes that leads to games where players just end up shopping, or for some reason I've yet to figure out, "adopting" orphans, freeing slaves, creating nemeses, or generally involving themselves in the affairs of higher beings.
One of my players that is going to join us has been playing in groups with me since 2008-2009. He tends to be a bit of a rules lawyer from time to time, but generally prefers a RP heavy style where the character matters most. If you can construct a reason via back story to be friends with him, it'll work the best.
The other player is a recent addition that has only played 2 games with me so far. She gets a bit flustered easily but tries very hard to play her character. She'll be loyal to a fault to characters that show her kindness, and will usually try to do things to save/help the party even if it goes against her alignment, common sense, or a hand-delivered edict from a god.
Finally, I intend to stream this on youtube. Once upon a time, I held a massive multi-year campaign of Sky Vikings and we recorded every session. Unfortunately, that proved to be way more editing than was really possible, so it never got posted anywhere. It was fun, interesting, and funny, and it gave the game a character that I have yet to be able to reproduce. Given the time investment in editing, what I'd like to do this time is Live Stream on youtube and then edit down only the best events into some pseudo-animated skit pieces. That way we don't always need to remember the stories, we have one place we can point people to see the best stories/memories. With that said, I'd like everyone to make a sketch of their character, it doesn't matter how poorly you draw, I'm pretty terrible at it myself, but I'll end up making a bunch.
