This thread is where you can discuss your characters' ideas and work on them.
Standard point buy (same as DnD5).
Do not forget that you have access to a5etools to help you out with character creation.

Oh yeah, I should probably work on a custom character sheet for a5e...For those of you wishing to add an a5e logo on your character sheet to make it more "official-y", here are a few I found on the internet.

Starting at level 1? 3?

Level 1.

I'm planning to channel Carrot Ironfounderson from diskworld as a non-dwarf raised as a dwarf, claiming to be a dwarf as he has done all the rites a dwarf do as he grows up

I'm planing to start him off as a fighter, but will multi-class into wizard down the road

So a human taking a dwarven culture? Yeah cool. That's one of the things I love with a5e, you can pretty much pull off that sort of things now. :D

I'm thinking of playing an elf that lived among a divided society--traditionalists and modernists. He is a tradtionalist and on his island community they have lost. He is exiled and cursed. He bears a mark that lets other elves know he is an outcast.

As mentioned on Discord, I am thinking about playing a shifting specialist druid of the 'weak must perish' persuasion. I'm still perusing the character creation rules so I'll have something more solid the coming days..

I had my eye on the Iron Rebel Druid, but that have to be a character concept for later.

What's an Iron Rebel? I only have the SRD so I'm guessing it's not in there..

Yeah, it's basically a druid that went "screw it, I'm using iron equipment, I don't care if you don't like it...".
But a druid along the lines of "the weak must perish", I think I saw that in one of the 3rd (4th?) party supplements...
Well, even before going 3rd party, there is the Decomposer from the Dungeon Delver's Guide.
As for 3rd party, there is the Sacrificial Ritemaster from Mysterious and Marvelous Miscellanea.

Oh I was just going for the shifting specialist one, like ye olde Moon Druid. Big beast = the strongest in nature, and all that.

Two druids and a bad Elf. Oh, and a race-confused human fighter wanna-be wizard.

Alright, so maybe I'll make a ranged character of some kind. Archery sounds like a fun time

How is character creation going? It's been about a week now. I'm not pressing anyone, I know how daunting character creation for a5e can be, especially when you've just picked the system up. I'd just like to know how long I have left to prepare.

I've had my kids this week, which leaves little time besides the games I'm already playing/running. They go home tomorrow, so I should be done this weekend

My character is, so far as I can tell, mechanically complete. I have a decent outline of a background, but the specifics will depend on the specifics of the setting.
