British, New player looking for a group to learn & play the game with. Looking to play a Bard/Paladin

Hi there guys, The names Taylor, I'm 24 and looking for a group of people to learn and play the game with. 

A little about myself, I'm a personal trainer and enjoy sports, especially rugby. This means most of my friends aren't exactly into the fantasy setting, especially something like D&D, I've had quite a hard time convincing them to play WoW and other 'geeky' games with me. So really I'm looking for a new group of friends who can share my geekiness with me, however it'd be great if they were as conversational and chatty as myself. 

I have a basic understanding on how D&D works, mostly how the character creation and sheets work, but have no idea how the turn to turn gameplay works. Like my other characters in other games, I know I want to play a Bard or Paladin, something which can get stuck in battle and do well, but also has supportive capabilities. 

To be more specific, I've always had an idea of a Dwarfen Bard, who (in universe), is the first dwarf to use their engineering prowess to created the first electric guitar/lute (perhaps even a guitar which also functions as an axe?) and uses it to unleash heavy metal on his enemies to disorientate them,, and motivate his companions. OR, a human paladin who is a bit of a ****ty paladin, made some wrong decisions and a bit of a drunk, but ultimately is seeking happiness and companionship through his party, and that is usually the spark to bring out his powers, albeit his day to day decisions are questionable at best. How this translates 'in game' I don't really know. But i thought that sounded cool so i'm going to stick to it.

I'm very comfortable in talking to new people (it's kind of part of my job!) and having a webcam on if that is what the group is doing, i'm also happy having a laugh and drink if the occasion calls for it. Very much happy to join a group with everyone being complete noobs, but it would be great if the majority were quite experienced so i could get stuck in fast

In terms of times, I am unable to do Tuesday & Thursday nights due to World of Warcraft raiding, and most Saturday nights due to me being with my partner. Besides that, i should be okay!

My discord is 'Wilson_#5822', It would be great to hear from some of you!
