Let's try and build a 5E character together ... again! There's a plot twist for this game: one player shall be designated as the Spoiler. It is the Spoiler's job to make the character as mechanically weak as possible, while everyone else is trying to make the character as strong as possible.
Who is the spoiler? Simple: it's the person who posts the Name and Gender (#8 below). Note that due to the three-post-rule, the Spoiler cannot choose the ability score assignments, nor the class at level 1. But he can do a bit of damage further down the road, hehe.
PS: If you don't want to make the character as weak as possible, please do not post at post #8! It is against the spirit of the game to take post #8 and then say "well, I actually wanted a strong character, so I won't spoil it".
It's Forum vs. Spoiler, go!
Poster #1 will choose Race, and any sub-race if applicable.
#2: Alignment
#3: Background, and alternate background feature, if applicable.
#4: Personality Trait
#5: Ideal
#6: Bond
#7: Flaw
#8: Name and gender <-- Specter is the spoiler.
#9: Ability score assignment - use the 15/14/13/12/10/8 array, apply racial bonuses
#10: Racial choices (eg. if race is Variant Human, choose feat, if race is Half-Elf chose bonus skills, if High Elf choose a Cantrip, etc); if race doesn't allow optional choices, skip this step.
#11: Class at 1st level, and any class-related choices (eg. known spells for Sorcerer, fighting style for fighter, etc)
#12: Class at 2nd level, and any class-related choices
...
#30: Class at 20th level, and any class-related choices
All choices must be legal. For this game, let's keep it to all official WotC material except UA. Traits, Ideals, Bonds and Flaws can be made up, using PHB guidelines. You may not have an Ideal that's opposed to your Alignment.
The three-post rule applies (don't post unless at least 3 people posted since your previous post)
Let me start.
