For rp sake, you've already done two of the important things. Introduction and putting up a 1x1 request. thats a start. Next, i'd say join up in one of the full feature RPs and they will teach you what the difference is between Full and Forum Rps. I mean other than obviously shiny qualities, and Finally just get yourself out there. Harass anyone you want and meet some of the awesome people here.
