Day 1 [D&D Character Sheets]

Today was the first day of my 100 days of code challenge, I mostly worked on the initial setup. I worked for about an hour just getting everything installed, setting up the file structure and etc. When I finished I copied the code to a boilerplate repo that should make starting express projects easier in the future. At least I have a pretty good express boilerplate now!
