Welcome!
I started Rp'ing around level 40 mostly because I happened to run into someone then. But you can start RP'ing at any level! I liked doing it at higher levels because of the gear and the glamour system, but it's entirely subjective.
As for story, I had a rough idea of what I wanted my character to be before I even started the game. It wasn't difficult for me to really get into it after I learned more about the lore. I didn't involve other people in my character's background for the simple fact that I hadn't really met anyone that would fit into it. That being said, I think it's a good way of pre-establishing relationships with characters if you're a bit stuck on how they could meet at present.
