Personality Traits
Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore HP, the creature regains additional HP equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
Ideals
Charity. I always try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost. (Good)
Bonds
Everything I do is for the common people.
Flaws
I judge others harshly, and myself even more severely.

and can you extrapolate on the Describing rolls.
How you dodge, block, land a hit, sneak, look, listen, etc.

Opinions; My vote is for one character each until such a time as character death. I am, however, flexible. My opinion is it is meta to create and play more than one character.
I'm leaning toward one character each. But if there aren't enough players and it's just you two, I'll be inclined to allow (not mandate) two characters each.
I don't think "meta" really fits here. I mean, with a new player that's here only to "win," yes, they'll use that to their advantage. But they're just going to have the insight of those two characters, which isn't terribly advantageous, but can certainly be if enough effort is put into it. Meta-gaming is also not allowed, anyway. So anything that's deemed inappropriate will be requested to be edited in the post.

But send the url of this thread to anyone who might be interested in joining. :)

Also given the format I think it would be too slow to have to play/interact with/read so many characters via posting.
That's why I added that collaborations are mandatory for the most part.

That being said, if the DM would like to ask one of the players to run a NPC or something like that I'm totally cool with that.
This will likely come into play with character backgrounds (family, friends, etc.)

I think we should start at level 0 or 1. I think we should start with the starting equipment stated in the rules I think backgrounds should be used as much as possible. I think anything within the dnd 5e books should be allowed. Basically I think we should try to stick with the rules as much as possible. This will help reduce any possible confusion or disagreements, making the DMs job easier. Also will make it easier for others to join and play.
We're going to start at level 1.
I will allow either Starting Equipment or Rolling for Gold.
All 5e books are allowed.
See above about rulings.
Agreed.
I would like to have a good amount of RP, maybe one bigger battle a month? Possibly set a time where we can all get together on discord or something and play out a battle.
This will largely depend on character decisions. The beginning of this campaign is (likely) a combat scenario followed by light travel then another (likely) combat scenario. If that seems too daunting, we could get together in person for the first session and then I could get a summary written up and post it here and then we continue from there.

I will check out the dndbeyond character creation. I think it would be a good supplement but it shouldn't be mandatory.
Indeed. Beyond can be used as a supplement, but is not required. In fact, Character Sheets are to be posted and frequently updated in the Character Tab (see OP (Original Post)).

If you want to try out dndbeyond for character creation, I would suggest waiting until @Phoenix creates a campaign and adds me to it so I can enable content sharing, so then you have access to everything.
This.
However, the characters can just be created in the campaign "For Sam" that you created for me since we will not need to be referencing anything in Beyond here. It's going to be kept "in house" as much as possible to keep it as simple as possible.

I will address these when I get home today. I will also be adding a couple things to the OP.
Because you have the campaign on beyond.

Don't know yet. Depends how many people join.

I'm thinking my point buy unless we want to try something different.

Yes. Eh, we have books.

That's up to the players.

Maybe. I'm not against it. Persuade me (have it tie into background). Either. I have no strong opinion on the matter.

As much as you want. Yes. That's up to you.

That will be determined over PM.

It's more just a tag to the thread saying im not accepting more players but has no real effect on access. Anyone can still post in here.

Flanking is in the DMG, so that's not an alternative rule. Otherwise I'm going to keep to RAW, but won't disregard RAI or RAC (rules as cool).

That's up to the players. I'll give what I get.

@Akacen@AlgizHieronymos

GM: Phoenix
Co-GM: Akacen

Rules:
- Character Sheets are to be PM'd (Private Messaged) to me. WIPs (Works-in-Progress) are not accepted in the OOC (Out-of-Character) or Character Tabs.
- Character Sheets are to be kept and maintained in the Character Tab once posted. Anything not in your character's sheet cannot be utilized ICly.
- Each player may post in the IC (In-Character) Tab once after each of my posts unless otherwise specified.
- Conversations between player characters are to be collaborated and posted as a single post.
- No Meta-gaming.
- Subscribe to this thread.
- This list is subject to change at any time.

Items to discuss before starting:
- Rolls: To Hit and Damage Rolls will be rolled during your post. Use the "Dice" function on this sites Home page. Link the results into the post however you wish (link associating phrase, hider at end of post, in the post itself).
Skill Checks can be made by players based off their post. If I feel a Skill Check is required after the post has been submitted, I will request you roll for that Skill and add it to that post however you see fit.
Saving Throws will be prompted by me in the OOC section. Post the link of the result either OOCly or through PM (however determined by me) and I will add it into my next post.
If I ask for a roll in secret (through PM), please do not announce it OOCly.
Anything here is up for discussion. If you disagree or have another idea, please share in the OOC section.

- I would like to have a practice combat with each player before beginning this. It will be held over PM and will not be incorporated or considered canon for this RP (unless otherwise stated/determined)

- Describing rolls: AC - 10+DEX means you dodged, over that, would hit the armor, (insert shield AC wherever or after armor). This could be a suggestion or something we try to stick to while writing.

- Invite whomever you wish to join. :)

- Thread will be set as "Full" for now. That may/will change.

- Any other topics that should be discussed or addressed, feel free to bring up.
Welp, nothing has really been done in my end. Still in the holiday haze. Lots to try to plan out on my end. I'm going to give myself to the first of next year to get a really good and long post to get a second wind in this. I give everyone the freedom to post as frequently as they wish. I'll be keeping an eye on this, should anything develop.
Happy 1 Year Anniversary, everyone! (I have no idea of the actual date >.>)
@RegitnuiSounds interesting ^^
Do it up!
@Regitnui Haha, good to hear. ;)
I and I'm with you on a game taking over your life. I totally have the problem of gluttonizing a new game. ;P

@Kymera Of course you can still be in on this! I would love to have you. I have major plans for Rai! They're going to happen if you're here or not. xP
If you want spoilers to gain more investment in your character, I'll reveal what I have in store. ;)

@Utrax You post when I tell you! >:D
But I definitely get where you're coming from. I like to make sure everyone has a chance to post before starting the next round. However, since both Ky and Cep had things come up, I decided it was fine for both you and Reg to continue your plots, since they're not related to to Ky and Cep's.
And no major PCs are in Rustboro currently, so any reactions from characters would be NPCs and you're more than welcome to create/mention NPCs.
But I can come up with a little something to give you an idea of what you could (have) done.

I'm going to keep adding to my last post for the next week or so, though. I'll let you all know when I feel it's "completed."

And, again, there's no rush. I know it's been a month since I posted last, but as long as we're still interested in keeping this going, I'm more than happy to have this slowly come back to life. :)
@c3p-0hHonestly, I'm just really surprised you're still dedicated to this! Very pleasantly surprised. I just assumed everyone walked away. This has been stewing in the back of my mind for the past month, really (since my/the last post). I'd be more than happy if this fell to a pseudo 1x1, unless Kymera comes back. I think we made a good trio. I don't know about @Utrax or @Regitnui, though. But if they're still up for it, I'd like to take a step back and really go over how this RP is supposed to flow. ^^

I know I felt some resentment a couple months ago about the lack of taking initiative from others. This just isn't an RP where everything is going to be fed through me. I'm the reactionary. The players are telling their stories while I throw in an overarching plot. But I was definitely resenting the piggy-backing without clearly expressing my intentions :(
So I apologize.
