Oh I can remember when curiosity got the best of me and I dabbled into RP a bit. Nerves can certainly play a factor but once you get past them and focus on your character, things become a lot easier and more fun!
As far as where to get started well, that's a heavy question. First you should figure out what type of character you have an interest in. next, adapt their personality to said character and you will be on your way.
Give them a good balance of strengths vs weaknesses. What scares them, what they like to do for fun, how the behave when confronted with a difficult choice etc.
Once you have your basics down, try doing some light RP with another and see how it all fits together.
And of course, feel free to ask for any help here on the forums. Lots of RP veterans around to show you the ropes and help yo with your character.
