I've decided to start a thread where people can build and submit 5th Edition characters just for fun and for practice with learning the system.
There have been a lot of contests popping up recently and I thought about making this a contest as well but I decided I'd rather people be able to submit stuff without worrying about winning and voting.
I'm guessing that many of us dont have the 5e PHB yet but I figured we could just agree to use the Basic Rules which are available for free from WotC via download HERE. The basic rules only have the basic classes and basic races, as well as some of the default backgrounds, but I figured it would be a good way to get people into the rules by going through the motions of character creation.
Edit: Now that the PHB is out and about, fee free to make characters from it as well!
So here it goes:
Create a level one character using the 5e Basic Rules or PHB with a background as if we were going to play The Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle.

"Life is like a Dungeon Master, if it smiles at you something terrible is probably about to happen."
Every year around midsummer, the population of Daggerford swells as people come from up and down the Sword Coast to partake in the town’s annual festival of games. While merchants hawk their wares along crowded boulevards, crowds gather to witness all manner of contests, from archery and tug o’-wars to wrestling and pie eating. But alas, ill weather has dampened this year’s festivities. Torrential rain falls from thick black clouds as wild coastal winds howl through the darkened streets. Guests pack the local inns and taverns, hoping for some reprieve while keeping their spirits high with drinking games and music, but the storm has been relentless, and there’s no end in sight.
Not surprisingly, the storm has given rise to lots of gossip about recent events in town, namely the capture of a tattooed man believed to be a Red Wizard of Thay. What would a Red Wizard be doing so far from home, you ask? Well, according to the local gossip mongers, he was magically disguised and working for Lord Floshin as a gardener, ofall things! That’s right, the same Lord Floshin whose estate was attacked and looted by orcs and half-orcs a fortnight ago. They say the Red Wizard was behind it, and that’s why he’s doomed to hang after the festival. It’s a good thing Lord Floshin wasn’t home during the attack. He could’ve been captured and taken away by the orcs. That’s what happened to his servants, gods protect them! One can only imagine their horrible fate.
The foul weather just won’t let up. Wet banners flap in the cool morning wind as a grim, raindrenched crowd gathers around the wooden gallows in the town square. Town guards in dark cloaks scan the periphery. A masked hangman ascends the scaffold and waits. He nods to a slender, rain-soaked knight in bright armor, who limps into the heart of the crowd, a greatsword slung over his back. He stands like a beacon of light in the gloom and keeps a watchful eye on the proceedings. A few paces behind him stands a dour elf of noble bearing clad in a handsome gray cloak. The malaise of the crowd turns to anger as the prisoner is hauled toward the gallows by a pair of cloaked guards. The bald wizard wears nothing but a loincloth, and most of his thin frame is covered with serpentine tattoos. His wrists and ankles are bound with rope, and his eyes and mouth have been sewn shut—a sight that doesn’t sit too well with the armored knight.
The rolling thunder ofthe storm cannot drown the roar ofthe crowd. Shouts of”Kill the wizard!” abound. One old woman dies out, “Filth for the maggots!” A heavily guarded horse-drawn carriage comes to a stop at the edge ofthe crowd. Through the carriage’s rain-streaked window, you see the pale visage of Duke Maldwyn Daggerford, who watches the proceedings closely. As the noose tightens around the wizard’s neck. the tattoos covering his body begin to writhe. The crowd gasps in horror at the sight, and the armored knight draws his greatsword.
Moments later, the captain of the guard signals the hangman to pull the trapdoor lever. A short drop spells the wizard’s demise. Lightning flashes, and you half expect the wizard to be gone, but there his body hangs, the serpentine tattoos no longer writhing. “To the Hells with him!” a peasant shouts. The knight relaxes as the crowd begins to disperse. Suddenly, a rider on a black horse gallops into the square, surprising everyone. He seems drawn to the armored knight. “My lord! My lord! Terrible news! Cromm’s Hold has been attacked by a black dragon!”
There’s another flash oflightning as the armored knight, Sir Isteval, turns toward you. “Cromm’s Hold is well defended, but a dragon might be too great a threat even for Baroness Wynne. If you have no other business to tend to, we could use some additional reinforcement.” Duke Maldwyn casts a wary gaze upon the stormy sky then turns to Isteval. “The bulk of our militia will remain here, in case the dragon attacks.” “Of course, your Grace,” the knight replies. “That would be wise. Thirty stalwart men and horses should suffice.”

I mentioned it down in the PBP Out-of-Character board, but I'm actually pretty damn excited for 5e so far... screw the haters. I wasn't exactly feeling it for the Mines of Madness game we did and a lot of the stuff didnt quite make sense to me, I kept having to look up what my modifiers were, and didn't really understand proficiency. But one of the reasons I made this thread was by getting in and looking at the content it forced me to read everything a time or two and some of it started making sense.
I may be tempted to convert the freeform steampunk world I was building into a high fantasy world and run a 5e game. Hmmm. People might be a bit tired of high fantasy though.

Backstory:
Sandal was an orphan that was rescued by a priest at a small town when he had 3 years old, without any clue about his real family. He was raised by a priest named Gond Lind, a priest of Pelor. This priest treated him as a son and taught him everything he know. This same priest gave him a surname based in the light of Pelor. He grew surrounded by religious people all his life, acquiring all their knowledge, but he never was officially ordained at the church hierarchy, despite being responsible for the town church late in his life.
When his savior died, a new priest assumed the town. This knew priest relegated him only small functions at the church and never recognized him as an equal. Furthermore he started to steal from the church and use his position to get favors from the town citizens. Sandal tried to give a warning to the church superior, but he was expelled.
One day he lost his patience and decided to confront the abusing priest. In this discussion, he killed him. He had to fled the town as an outlaw and heretic; and since then he decided to travel the world spreading the word of Pelor and trying to bring light to the world and punishing darkness whenever possible. The church doesn't know him, but he decided his ultimate goal in life was to purge it from sinners and give Pelor a church his god deserves.

Appearance Obed Olmstead carries a haunted look of a man wasting away. Though still his body still carries the strength and bulk of a sailor, it has seen better days. He's less toned and he's starting to grow a little beer belly. Dark circles never seem to leave his gray eyes, and his black hair and short beard are already seeing light streaks. His hair is long enough to cover the slight point of his ears and curls when wet. His hands are calloused heavily, and no matter how drunk he gets, Obed's legs remain steady. Across his chest is a line of circular scars.
Backstory Obed Olmstead had always loved the sea. He grew up a wharf rat, the bastard son of a bitter woman, and he quickly found his way on ships since age 11. At sea, he was free from the strict eye of his mother, the beatings of the city watch who didn't care for urchins, and the despair of poverty. He lived and worked as an equal to the other crew members and authority was hard-earned by the captain, not bought or inherited. More than any other sailor, Obed loved spending time in the water, retrieving goods or fallen crew, exploring, or just spearing dinner.
As he grew up strong with the charm of a half-elf, Obed would attract attention at various harbors, but nothing could beat the allure of the sea for him. Until one day, the sea turned against his ship. The storm was not particularly strong, there have been bigger and stronger storms, but somehow the hull was cracking and the ship was rapidly taking on water. Then, a wave rose far above the ship and as Obed looked up, he swore he saw a writhing figure's silhouette in the wave.
He dreamed, of a beautiful creature who seemed to envelop him into her embrace. Though she looked the size of him, he knew she was vast, that the coiling and stretching darkness around them was a part of her, that her waters sank far below, deeper than any dwarf mine or buried titan. And though she looked the age of him, he knew she was older than storms or earth, older than any god that claimed to rule her, that she was an eternal ocean who would drown and swallow even the sun and moon in time. He opened his mouth to beg her to marry him, and his lungs began to fill with saltwater, and in his soul, she laughed without joy or understanding.
Obed woke up on the beach of his hometown. Everyone suspected the worst because the ship was due to arrive a month ago, so they were shocked to find the sole survivor washed up on shore, especially when according to Obed, the ship was still far out to sea when it sank. Of course, Obed wanted to continue returning to the open ocean, but people have noticed the change in him. Other sailors called him cursed and refused to accept him onto any of their crews and new ships are quickly warned of the man sworn to the sea's cold grasp.
So he drinks and gets thrown out of bars for rowdiness, and he researches and gets thrown out of temples for heresy. He wanders, sometimes with others, to learn more of his mistress, and until he can return to her, he will ply her dark gifts.
Racial Traits Darkvision: Lighting conditions improved by one step within 60ft (Darkness > Dim > Bright) Hellish Resistance: You have resistance to Fire damage Infernal Legacy: You know the Thaumaturgy cantrip.
Class Features Divine Sense: Detect the presence of undead/outsiders within 60ft 4/day Lay on Hands: Can remove up to 5 points of damage from a creature 1/day
Personality Trait: I sleep with my back to a wall, with everything I own wrapped in a bundle in my arms. Ideal: Retribution. What was done to me shall be paid back a thousandfold. Bond: I owe a debt I can never repay to those who took pity on me. Flaw: I will never fully trust anyone other than myself.
Appearance On the face of things Melech could be be considered rather handsome: dark haired, tall and broad with the well-toned physique of one who has has spent a lifetime in physical training. Even his infernal heritage, subtle by the standards of his kind, does little to detract from this - if anything granting him the allure of the exotic and forbidden. These qualities are lost on most, however, as it is almost impossible to miss the horrific scars that covers his flesh; cracked and blistered skin, darkened patches of dead flesh, twisted muscle and broken sinew, wounds that never quite healed properly. Dark eyes, cold and lifeless, observe his surrounds with noted disinterest. Indeed, very little seems to gauge any reaction from the tiefling.
Backstory To fill in later.

Appearance
Backstory
Throughout Tamsin's childhood, she had always felt a presence watching her and strange coincidences would protect her from harm. She grew up to be a solemn young woman, deeply devoted to her knightly duties, but she never had the opportunity to take the path to true paladinhood. As she rode out on a simple mission, traveling through old woods, she found herself on an unfamiliar path that led her to the site of nightmarish siege upon a hillside home, Caer Tagel.
Tamsin joined the forces that were fighting off the monsters and with her aid, the monsters were driven off. The lady of the castle emerged and Tamsin was immediately enchanted. She gave herself in service to the lady, her fey nature now apparent. She spent countless days carrying out quests of courtly love for the faerie woman, picking bouquets of butterflies, finding a lost song. Still, the contentment felt empty and Tamsin yearned to return to her regular knightly duties. She wishes to fight for a just cause, not idle away in this fey realm. She tried finding her way to the path back, but always wandered back to Caer Tagel.
One day, Tamsin discovered a childhood toy of hers among her lady's things. She confronted her fey lady, who revealed that she had watched over Tamsin as a child. She prophesied that Tamsin would die in battle and to protect her, the faerie lady led her to Caer Tagel to protect her from joining the countless other humans who died senselessly in battle. They argued but the fey woman would not let her go, and it was many months until Tamsin was able to break through the spell that kept her within the boundaries of Caer Tagel. She quickly ran back through to the human realm, but chasing her were fey retainers, creatures sent by the lady to protect Tamsin in her folly.
Tamsin emerged into a world that has long forgotten her. What felt like maybe a year, at most, was actually over a hundred. Now she must find her way, discover what remains of her noble family, and work to fulfill her aspirations of justice, even while the lady watches her through her retainers and the call of the Feywild pulls.
I don't like how I wrote the backstory, so I'm putting it behind a spoiler block for now. I want her to feel pulled between the Oath of Devotion and the Oath of Ancients.

Background Later, but the idea is that Orgar is the son of a dwarf who lost all the clan's fortune to a dragon. Exiled for this dishonor, his father always told him that his mother died in the dragon's attack but Orgar was saved from his mother's body. Somehow, this also bestowed Orgar with draconic magic.

Appearance Connacht is a giant of a man, both in stature and in presence. Unusually tall he stands head and shoulders above the crowd - though his great height is not matched by great mass giving him a gangly awkward gait. Dark circles ring his grey eyes, and his skin is pallid and covered in all manner of scars, cuts and bruises - a legacy of a lifetime of sickness and injury. Dark hair hangs limp and unkempt, tumbling over his shoulders and down his back; the whole look combines to give him something of a ghoulish appearance. He wears simple clothes in dark browns and greens and cares little for jewelery or accessories. The only exception to this is the dull copper chain that dangles from his neck - his only memento of his parents.
Connacht talks very little and is very blunt when he does speak. He prefers to act rather than talk and is distrustful of those who rely on a silvered tongue to deceive and beguile. Though he may not show it directly he is fiercely loyal to his friends and protective of those weaker then himself; he will throw himself into danger without hesitation if it means another would not suffer - a trait that has nearly got him killed more than once. For all his strength he would greatly prefer not to fight at all and will always attempt to disarm or disable an opponent rather then killing them.

Appearance Being both short and petite Merroda would easily be lost in a crowd were it not for the tell-tale signs of her infernal heritage. A pair of short horns erupt from her brow beneath a shock of copper hair. Eyes like pits of shadow gleam with sinister intelligence and a barely contained rage. Dark skin marred by patches of dull scales and an ever-present scent of dust lingering in the air. Almost everything about her screams of the unnatural. Much of her body is bandaged to hide strange scars and old wounds that never healed properly over which is worn a heavy, hooded travelers cloak - an attempt to conceal herself from the eyes of others.
Backstory It's a mystery!
