Hey everybody!
I'm Verra, im 22 years old and i found out a few days ago about RP forums so i decided i'd try it!
Anyway, i'd appreciate it if some of you guys could help me out a little in the beginning,
forgive me for any mistakes i might make at first, but don't hesitate to tell me when i make them
as you can only learn from that.
Well, that's about it i guess,
Be seeing you! (or writing with you, whatever you know what i mean ;P)

Hello and welcome!
You've seriously found the best place to get started - everyone here is amazingly friendly. Go lurk the LFRP (looking for roleplay) forums, fumble your way through character creation, and don't be afraid to ask a thousand questions while you do.
Oh, and check out the Getting Started guide

Hello there! Pleasure to meet you. 
When getting started with RP, I really recommend this primer on basic RP concepts as a starting place. Even if you have some RP experience, it can be a nice way to see what the general norm is here.
When it comes to starting RPs, most people start in the Looking For RP forum to find some other players. There's also a search tool that will help you find what you're looking for within that forum - click "Find RP" in the top menu, then "join game" then scroll to the bottom to adjust your preferences for game types. If you want more info on using that search tool, here's a handy help article.
If you end up joining someone else's RP, they'll let you know the details about how to join in.
If you're starting up your own RP, you have a few choices about how to proceed once you've found a RP partner or two.
By the by, you can use the "launch chat" button at the top and bottom of any forum topic, whether it's in a private group forum or our public RP forums, to turn your topic into a real time chat! There's also a link in the sidebar of private messages that will let you do the same.
This is a pretty big site with a lot of features and areas, so just in case you run into questions, there's a couple things you can try. Probably the first thing to try is just typing your question into the search box, or you can go to the Help section to see a list of popular articles. If you still need more help, the community here is very friendly. Please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it!

If you're starting up your own RP, you have a few choices about how to proceed once you've found a RP partner or two.
- You can just create a RP topic on one of our 3 public RP forums: General Roleplay, Sci-Fi Roleplay and Fantasy RP. Keep in mind that because these areas are public, you'll have to make sure the RP stays in the PG-13ish range.
- You can choose to RP via private messages, and just create a new conversation thread with all your RP partners as recipients. Since this is private, the only rules that tend to apply are not to do OOC illegal things and be nice to your RP partners OOC.
- If you're going to have a whole lot of people in your RP, or the RP setting is going to be very strictly defined and you want to have a place to store world building information alongside it, you might consider starting your own group. This gives you access to profile building tools for the group, but also to creating your very own forums!
- In some cases, you and your RP partner might even decide to use some other messenger or game to RP on.

Hello Verra, it's so nice to meet you
Be most welcome here and make yourself feel at home.
Roleplaying here is as nice as just talking to people and I'm sure you'll make new friends in no time.
For the beginning, I'd suggest you just read here and there on this website, whether it might be the actual "help" section or just some topics that interest you. You could also browse through the latest characters or groups, also building up your own character profiles should be very fun! If you feel ready for it, there's the "Find RP" section where you can either join someone when you like the idea - or suggest your very own idea for a roleplay and search for others to join.
I guess it's a bit much for the beginning, but don't worry about mistakes, everyone here is very friendly. I guess it's best to look around a while, you'll get an idea of the things around here soon I guess.
Though if there are particular questions you need to get answers, I'm sure many would like to help anytime.
Many greetings, have a good time here and enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the tips! I already did most of what you proposed though, i guess i'll just have to see for myself
what this'll be like, i bet it'll be fun.

Welcome Verra!! I’m sure you’ll have so much fun here! Everyone is so nice, it’s a great first RP forum experience! You can always shoot me a message if you want to RP, need help, or just want to make a friend!
Welcome! Who's the guy in your profile picture, I'm dreadfully curious!
Hey, welcome!
If you need any help figuring out the site or learning about paragraph RP, I've been doing the latter for 5 years. Feel free to send me a PM!

Welcome to RPR. I'm Asroc. I RP many and mostly Canons, but I am friendly to OC RPers and will RP with them. I do mainly AU RPs as them. Enjoy your time here.
Hey, welcome to RPR!
Ooh, man - RP forums can be so much fun when you find a good group! So far I think this site has a bunch of them.
Just try not to be overwhelmed and take on too many RPs at once. Sometimes it just happens that way, but try to avoid it if you can. In my own experience, nothing burns you out faster than trying to juggle too many threads at once.

Welcome to the site! One tip I'd give for rping is to make sure you tell people how your character feels about the current situation!
