Looking for a replacement. D&D 5e Sundays 4pm mountain time

Hey guys looking for someone to replace a player in an ongoing campaign. The group plays Sundays around 4pm mountain time. We use skype and we all have webcams and mics. It's a great group of  guys and overall a pretty relaxed vibe. The party is currently level 11 and consists of a wizard, bard, and fighter. We would have to double check with the DM if you would replace the paladin or roll a new character. We are willing to accept newer players as well.  if interested please response with the following info. D&D experience Age Preferred class to play If you have access to a mic + webcam

I would like to join D&D experienc almost none age 16 cleric or fighter i have access to mic only

I would love to join as a bard.                        D&D experience: I have accumulated about 15 years of playing all editions of D&D and 5 years of Pathfinder.  I have to re-read 5e D&D material again as it has been about a year since I last played it. Age: I'm 44 years old. Preferred class to play: I usually choose to play the melee type, most often a barbarian. However, I am hoping to reprise my concept of a bard who is a bit of worldly, exotic talents as a carnival entertainer.  He hobnobs with other performers to acquire new skill sets and abilities. I understand that you already have a bard, but I assure you that my character is quite unique. My bard could fill most roles of the party as a backup (striker, defender, healer, controller). If you have access to a mic + webcam: I do. I have both. I do have a few questions. 1) Character creation rules  2) Is it imperative that I play a paladin class? Could my character perpetrate as a paladin? 3) Since this is a high level campaign, what magic items does my character start with?

I have 3 games that I have played and am 23 have a mic and cam. and I would prefer to play a Cleric or a Barb

I'm very interested in joining. I don't have much experience. But am willing to learn. Sundays are my days off work so that works great for me.

I would also love to join, 29 male married with a kid, ill play whatever. Replacement paladin is fine, but it sounds like you have alot of interest. Heres hoping... heh
