Update I will be hosting the first games on April 18 2019 Thursday starting at 6:30 PM EST. If you know how to build a character go ahead this is Home-brew rules and they are listed below. If not let me know and I will help you.
Character Creation
To create a character for D&D 5e, follow the steps below. All characters begin play at 1st level.
Steps 1 & 2: Choosing a Race and Class
You may use all options presented in the Player’s Handbook with regard to race and class, in order to build and advance your character. For example, if you are playing a human, you are allowed to use the Variant Human Traits, as presented on page 31 of the Player’s Handbook. In addition to the Player’s Handbook however, you may also choose to use other resource from those listed below to build your character. Most information from these books can be found in https://5etools.com/5etools.html
Dungeon Master's Guide
Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica
Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes
Player's Handbook
Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide
Volo's Guide to Monsters
Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron
Xanathar's Guide to Everything
Step 3: Determine Ability Scores
You can generate your character’s ability scores using one of the following methods:
Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10,

Step 4: Describe Your Character
Describe your character and choose a background from the Player’s Handbook, pages 121 – 141, or if you’ve selected an additional resource as described above, you can select a background presented there. 5Etools (https://5etools.com/5etools.html ) also has that information.
Step 5: Choose Equipment
When you create your D&D character for the current season, take starting equipment as determined by your class and background. You cannot roll for your starting wealth.
Things not allowed
No evil alignments there are 9 alignments in D&D ranging from lawful to chaotic and from good to evil. Because the nature of play evil alignments are not allowed in this game.
