Welcome.. so leaving the whole game play aside.. RPzzz!
It is you assuming the role of a character that you have defined in some way, with story, characteristics etc... You dictate the actions and responses of your character in response to others and events. To maintain some level of consistency and fairness there are some general guidelines around keeping IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) separate, and letting others decided what their characters do or do not do.
That was a very short version and there is an excellent [Role Play Handbook] that will be a good reference for you as you progress.
My advice, find a nice FC that supports new RPers. They will offer to ease you into it and answer the many questions you may have. They will also help with avoiding any bad habits. And please, ask.
Overall though, just let go and have fun.
