Hello and welcome to the RPC!
As Warren said, the best way to get RP is to just hop right in.
I would heavily recommend seeking out people to RP with instead of waiting for it to come to you though. It usually works a little faster and then that gives you and the other people something to collaborate with. You can find posted entries over in the Making Connections forum, but on Balmung, there's also a lot of it that happens in game!
Each person has their own balance of etiquette, but many people will either try to put a little blurb in their search info or send a tell before approaching complete strangers. (But some of the people I know have TONS of contacts because they react and talk to strangers out of the blue.) What works for some people may work for you too! (Or not! But that's why the RPC is here to help people find resources and coordinate!)
If you've got questions on the lore or a concept, don't be afraid to ask either! While there's a lot of stuff already on the RPC, that also means there's a lot of information to sift through.
General lore questions are geared towards the FFXIV Discussion section.
General RP concepts, or how to make RP work in a setting go to RP Discussion.
Stuff specific to your character should go to Character Workshop.
If you'd like help building a wiki, there are a few public posted templates with a fill-in the blank style for editing. Many other users are also usually happy to share their fancier CSS and <div> tag-heavy wikis, but I would recommend avoiding those if HTML, CSS and wiki code are intimidating.
I hope to see you around having fun with RP!
