Complete beginner looking for first D&d 5e campaign

I'm wanting to get into 5e D&d, however I have never played before and will need help with everything including character creation! I have watched a lot of people playing it and understand basic concepts but will need telling what to do basically and I realise this is a big ask! I am happy to be joined with other players if this makes it any easier or to play solo, I'm not bothered in that regard.

I'm a new 5e GM looking for another game. What are you looking for? I guess what I mean is what do you like about D&D? I'd hate to start running something that you totally hate.

Also, are you new to RPGs in general? I'd hate to start throwing around slang that makes no sense to you.

I love the traditional fantasy style stuff with some light hearted aspects. (colourful characters, etc.) apart from that anything really! (if you've seen Highrollers twitch streams, like that!)

I've played a lot of video game RPGs in search for a similar experience
 I have also played a very small about of star wars Edge of the Empire so I would like to think I understand a lot of the slang!

Would you want to run a solo campaign or look for more players? I am happy doing either whatever you are happiest with!

Thanks for the info! I do tend toward the serious side as my sense of humor is more reactionary. For example, I placed a skeleton guard at the door to a temple, a player suggested that the other guard dress it up as a unicorn, and then the skeleton talked back to the player. Or suggesting the Indiana Jones character track down a naga.

I'd rather do a group; a lot of the fun is interactions with other players. I can help you make a character via rmail while putting out a players wanted ad. They're were a couple of other beginners looking for GMs.

I just looked up High Rollers. I like interaction between the cleric guy and the lady playing the Tiefling monk; "I'm ignoring you... You realize your messing with the only person here who has a weapon?" "I'm going to stand over here."

Sounds great! What I love about Highrollers is the development of the characters especially the relationships between them. For example, the tiefling after a tragedy hits and the characters have to give up a lot to save her,  becomes much more accepting of the cleric although still gets annoyed with him!
