And by newbie, I don't mean just on this site, but to the entire roleplaying thing. I've been eyeing it for a while since a lot of people seem to have a lot of fun with it, and I write stories, but only recently started looking for opportunities to join in! I can be a bit shy, so if you'd like to approach me please do because I'll have difficulty doing it myself, haha.
I'm most interested in character-driven vaguely fantasy stuff, but I'd love to look around in different genres. Slow posting is where it's at for me, knowing myself I'd stress myself out to no end with a real-time roleplay.
I've only posted one character so far but I'll try to add more soon! In my personal notebook I've got over a hundred, so.

Hello, fellow space wanderer! What brought you here? I came by TARDIS! 
Well technically, I'm from a certain watery rock floating in space, but shhh...
Hey there and welcome Maggie!
Your name is so pleasing to me
I hope you'll stick around to RP here. If you're not sure how to get involved or start it up, the Help Index explains alot of things.
Feel free to ask any members for help too! Nice to meet you

Welcome to rpr! I'm sure you'll like it here. It's a good place for making stories, characters and friends!
Thank you guys! @SolonaAmell, thank you, that's helpful!

Hi! Glad 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.
I'm sure you're finding your way around okay so far, but just in case, if you need help, there's a couple things you can try. Firstly, sometimes just typing a question into the search box will get you the info you need, or you can look at the categories in the help section. If you still need more help, the community here is very friendly. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions!

- 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.
