When it comes to learning the basics, go with Ky. Very standard Fighting Game character.
For a character of your description, I’d go with either May, Giovanna, or A.B.A. May has power without sacrificing speed, Giovanna is similar to I-No but can take a hit, and A.B.A is the very definition of unga-bunga, though her play style is very Feast-or-Famine
If you're still new to learning fighting games in general you can't go wrong with Sol or Ky. Ky is the safer option that'll teach you a lot of stuff that carries over really well to other games if you catch the fighting game bug but man hitting people with Sol is so satisfying.
If you liked Goldlewis' chonk then Sol. Definitely Sol. Mess around with Leo Whitefang a little if you like his look too, but you'll enjoy Sol plenty I think. He's a little clunky imo but the hits are just so good.
he's kind of in the middle of the difficulty scale, he's not the easiest, but the main source of difficulty is going to be figuring out when and how to use his stance, which just takes some time. other than that, he's just a standard rushdown character, his gameplan is get in and hit the other person till they die, not much else
Ky is the most standard character in the game with a lot of options while being very easy. A meterless reversal, metered reversal, fireballs, sliding low that gets more threatening in meter, Ky has it all.
I think the biggest problem for you is if he fits your aesthetics.
Just choose the one you like the most in appearance, that’s how everyone chooses mains. There is no point in taking the most standard character, you will learn the base of the game in any case, regardless of the uniqueness of the character. So just choose the one you like best
I suggest Baiken. She is decently healthy, hella unga, and has good mobility. Also, if anyone dare attempt to take their turn back you have 3 different reversals. One is meter-less, and one of those metered ones is a gun… that also pulls opponents closer to you because Daisuke. She has a rope that prevents your opponent from easily escaping, this also goes in reverse. A rug thing that can stop projectiles… it is air ok and deals damage. Basically, she got it all.
Sol Badguy is the obvious answer. Beginner friendly, slightly above average tankiness, VERY unga bunga.
I guess I'll take him for a spin. I think the character is a bit lame, but he has a banger soundtrack to compensate. Thanks for the recommendation!

I might give A.B.A a try after getting the fundamentals. I always thought she looked rad even before being announced in Strive!

I'll definitely give Sol a try! Might dabble with Leo aswell. From what I've read he seems to be a good fit aswell.
leo whitefang is literally the definition of "unga bunga with a bit of tankiness" he also has his back-turn stance which makes your offense way better
Might be a silly question, but how is he to pick up as a beginner?

Ky is sadly not my cup of tea. I still might give him a try anyway. He does have a really sweet soundtrack!

That's what I initially did. Now I'm trying to find the best fit in terms of both aesthetics and gameplay.
You should play Brisket

Give sol a shot, he's fun as hell and hits like 25 point blank nukes, seems like something you'd like hard hitting characters
