Welcome!
Most people tend to come up with a general concept for there characters. A basic backstory, profession, and motivation are good places to start. There is a lot of resources here on the RPC in the "Character Workshop" section. You can also look at various characters on the Wiki to get an idea of where to begin with all that. Some people like to make elaborate and planned pasts and futures for their characters, others like to develop things as they go along. Whatever works best for you is the best option here. Either way, designing these things will help you decide on what your character is, and how they'll react with the various situations they come across.
The next step would be to go out in the game and find people who are RP friendly and... well... RP with them. Most of us will put some sort of notification that we're an RPer in our search info. If that's a bit much, you can attend events that people post up on the RPC as well. You can also do some RP on the forum in the IC tavern to get a feel for it all. Whatever way you begin to RP; the best way to learn is to do. You just have to pick up and start.
Your tag there says you're on Tonberry. I'm not sure if there's much of an RP community there, so you might have to do some digging to find folks. If you're capable of being on another server, Balmung and Gilgamesh are the major RP hubs. They're difficult to make a character on though.
