Most good RP FCs I've seen like it when people start RPing with them on the periphery, and have a way to gently draw you in, so you can try it out before you commit. A lot of them have RP linkshells for allies, so you can RP with them via that mechanism, or you can join the FC from an OOC point of view and only get involved in the deeper RP stories as you both are comfortable.
Any RP FC that insists that you commit before you're sure is probably one you want to avoid.
