Hi, your thread caught my eye since I am more and more in a situation where I have a hard time finding meaningful RP due to various factors, like being in strictly regimented EU hours (most EU folks actually play at EST hours in truth), added to a need like you for more mundane everyday characters with a strong like for being well anchored in the actual lore of the game.
I lack time to weave stories of my own (besides the few I GM for my FC), but I'm always super happy to play a supportive character for others.
The only thing I'm always wary of though, and it's not directly tied to power levels actually, is that my character gets embarked into incredible story successions of epic proportions. Like for mundane characters, I prefer 'mundane' plots. Which means, not necessarily something where you spend your time fighting hordes of enemies every time. You don't need to have epic fights or just fight every time for a plot to be powerful, quite the contrary, is something I truly believe in.
It doesn't seem like much said like that, but it actually is the kind of things that tends to make your character "level up" incredibly quick and go from green sprout to awesomely grizzled in less than a year.. Which ultimately makes character get out of the ordinary and become supernatural. And I don't want that for mine (she's barely above twenty and was meant to be a RP green sprout).
That doesn't mean that I don't want her to actually grow and evolve, quite the contrary, but... I'm not sure if I'm being super clear unfortunately. But less is more. Subtle is epic. Slow is fast. etc.
Feel free to reach me out if you are interested!
