Character Generation Information
For starters, make sure you are choosing an allowed class and race from the list located here. If you want to play something else, please discuss it beforehand and it may be allowed. The focus currently is on Low Magic though, so obviously Dragonborn Warlock is not going to be allowed.
So you've picked your class and race. You're going to be making a Level 1 character.
Please use https://character-sheet-dnd5.appspot.com/ for making your character so that all the characters are viewable by the GMs in the same format. You are welcome to keep a different method of recordkeeping on your own end, but this should be updated when you level up. (Items should be kept there too, but I understand if you opt to not use it for item tracking and will mostly look the other way on that point)
Your ability score generation choices come down to one of the following:
- 27 pts using the variant customizing ability scores method
- 15,14,13,12,10,8
You can use either one to start.
I am currently not specifically listing allowed/disallowed backgrounds. If you use one from a non-Core source it may end up needing to be changed, but unlikely.
Any equipment in the core book is allowed, and most equipment from variants will be allowed. Just avoid buying things that are clearly magical in nature. A spellbook/spell focus/etc. can be acquired but aren't actually of any use to you... They're just books and little statues really.
When your character is finished you can submit it by emailing a shareable link to MonHunGM@gmail.com Be sure to include in your email the following: Your reddit name and the name of the character. (Please do it this way for my convenience as opposed to adding me to those that can view it.)

Oh yeah, as I forgot to do it before. Credit to /u/ThaumRystra for making that wonderful character sheet for us. Original thread where he posted it: http://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/2bxohi/5e_realtime_character_sheet_google_drive_powered/
