So I figured I would give this a try this again. Unfortunately my schedule changed making a few of the days I originally had available difficult so I wanted to post this again. Most of this is what I posted before just with some tweaks. (Please read this in its entirety before responding)
I've searched online, found a few Discord servers, and was immediately turned off by them. Let me give a little rundown about me and what I'm looking for. My name is John, I'm in my 30s. I've kind have always been interested in D&D (had a few of the books since I was a kid), but I did get a real chance to play until a few months ago. I've only been in a handful of sessions and I've DMed once (with plans to DM again in the future). But while I haven't played D&D a lot, I used to play a lot of World of Darkness when I was in college and I've written in several forum RPs for 10+ years. I have a fairly creative mind, I love creating stories, and I enjoy RPing.
So recently I got into D&D. However my work schedule altered to a point where the group I was playing with online couldn't accommodate me. I don't blame them. Our schedules, time zones, and personal lives all just kind of fell out of sync. It saddens me that I will have to leave them, but I really don't want that to keep me from my hobby either. With all that being said, let me toss up a little breakdown of what I'm looking for and my skills.
Game: D&D 5e
Group preferred: Online (Roll20 / Discord combo is what I'm used to), preferably every two weeks. (I can't do weekly considering that I do have work and a family).
Experience: Still a beginning player but I'm picking it up rather quick, one time DM
Location/Timezone: PST
Availability: Sundays (all day), and Mondays (morning and afternoon only)
Preferred role: Player, but once I get used to a group I can try DMing
Game style: I'll be honest, I tend to be that quiet guy in the group. I'll like to roll dice, I don't mind some light roleplaying (still new to the trying out character voices). But while I’m a quiet person I am usually full of ideas and more than happy to talk about things outside of game and plot things for the future. And the more I’m used to you, I promise, the more talkative and relaxed I am.
What I’ve Played Before: Dragonborn Fighter, Human Paladin, Dwarf Barbarian (Fighter was my favorite class so far). I also really like homebrewed races. Nothing super fancy but bearkin, mousekin, etc. I like the unsual and can usually make anything work.
What I’m Looking For: I’m just looking for a group of casual players who want the have fun. I would actually prefer a group comprised of mainly older players (25 and up). I don’t have anything against younger players (I honestly wish I started when I was younger), but I just feel like I would be some weird old guy in a group of tweens, ya know? I’m an adult, I’m in my 30s, I have a full-time job, I have a family, so being around like-minded people just makes me more comfortable. But that’s just me. And, admittedly, I'm not super interested in PBP, only because I already do that on other forums. Just looking for the D&D chat experience, I guess.
Anyways, that’s all I really have about myself. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I feel like I found something really fun to get into and now that I finally have the chance to do it, I’d really like to pursue it further.
And, if it helps, I’m a bit of an amateur artist and I like to sketch characters and party members. I’m not the best, but I do have examples of my work below:
Welcome to the world of D&D. I'm not the most experienced to actually teach but I can recommend some podcasts, YouTube videos, and books to check out. Also I'm really not looking to DM a group just now, I really just want to be a player for a bit first. But, as I said, I can send you some links to what helped me learn.

Hello! I’m new to D&D, if you teach me the basics, combat and dice, I appreciate it.
Hi Berry,
Welcome to the world of D&D. I'm not the most experienced to actually teach but I can recommend some podcasts, YouTube videos, and books to check out. Also I'm really not looking to DM a group just now, I really just want to be a player for a bit first. But, as I said, I can send you some links to what helped me learn.
