I'm new to D&D (Yep ain't that an inspiring title?)

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the wrong section, since most posts here seem to be people wanting others to join their  group, but I'll take a gamble anyways. From what I've seen, groups that allow new players need them to have some semblance of what the world is about. But unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I've gotten the basic rules down though, and I'm not new to making characters (Without traditional sheets) , but when it comes to making a character while keeping in mind what the world is like is proving to be a challenge for me. What I mean is if I want to make a character wouldn't I need a good grasp on their past? The world's conditions would have to reflect their environment wouldn't it? Honestly I could do research into it myself but me being the lazy shmuck I am I don't exactly find digging through wiki articles very appealing.  What I'm trying to say is if there's any groups who are willing to accept an absolute scrub and willing to give a run down on whatever the realm's history is then I'd love to hop in. Unless this is pointless and i could have just went in blindly. TL;DR:  Help me, I don't know what I'm doing, just add me to your group. I'm on my knees.
Most of the new player friendly games will have a decent blurb about what their campaign setting is in the <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/</a> section. Which should help you in designing a character that fits the history of the world. All else fails always just ask the DM if the rough ideas you're considering mesh with how they have the world set up.
Hi there! Our group is looking for a new player or two to join us. We would be willing to talk to you and see if you would be a good fit. We are a really chill and laid back group that enjoys the RP aspect of the game and we would certainly be willing to help you learn. It is a homebrew game, but its super interesting and we have a wonderful DM. Let me know if you would be interested!&nbsp;
