More seriously, I'd probably really recommend something inoffensive to start. Try the waters around here. See if you like the style of RP, and most of all, get to know the server a bit. And with all the changes to classes, it's hard to recommend something for people who don't know most of them. That said, if you have build questions, there's a few players that can and will help you with those questions.
As was suggested on the Discord, hard to go wrong with a Wizard, since the summons combined with buff for the party and a few offensive spells go really far. Otherwise, melee will struggle a bit more solo, mostly because you can't just be invisible, and if your summon dies, you either summon another, or run away. That said, the way I personally learned building and leveling on the server is just passively soaking up info. There's the whole fishing subforum, there's the section on the discord, and as said, after a while you'll know who the buildmonkeys are that you can send a PM to.
As for nobles, yeah, nobles need a request. You can be a lot more than a simple farmer. City-dweller, both raised rich or poor, mage academy, soldier, anything else more creative minds than me could come up with.
Easiest way to learn, in my experience, is to just hop in game. Most people help out newbies both IC and OOC if you have any questions, so just go ahead and be awesome, or something.
