Personally, I'm a bit impulsive in my roleplay and character development, since I tend to overthink if I try to organize it all up front. I think it's also okay to retcon minor things as you go along, and reveal information about yourself slowly to other characters until you finalize what you really want.
It may also help you to begin creating a wiki page where you can start laying out some information about your character.
That being said, my dood, Alderique, currently lives in Ul'dah and mostly does odd jobs for merchants—mercenary work, deliveries, escorts—whatever's profitable. If you'd like to RP some time, feel free to look for me in game and we can work something out.
Keep an eye out for some of the RP hubs, like the Quicksand inn in Ul'dah. It can be a little overwhelming, but you can examine characters and see what information they have in their player search profiles. I tend to browse through them and initiate RP/tell those who are open to it! It's a little intimidating at first, but it can be quite rewarding.
Good luck!
Thanks! I already have a notepad with some details on the character I want to RP as, so adding it to the Wiki page is definitely a great start! More than likely, I'm overthinking it quite a bit and just need to simplify it just a tad.
