Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC and to RP in general! 
Starting with a fairly dull and mundane character is definitely not a weakness- RP is a lot about character development and story evolution, so being able to build up from a blank slate is actually pretty good and leaves you with a lot of options for the future. The more you RP, the more of the story you'll start to pen, and before long you'll find your stride. Backstories and histories are all well and good, of course, but they're more a spice and perhaps some common ground to be shared with other characters.Â
That said, if you want to get off to the races, tossing up a Making Connections post here on the RPC may help you quite a bit too. This is even more helpful if you have a general idea of what direction you'd like to take your character as well, because there are a lot of niches in the community. You can join a clan, a treasure hunting company, knowledge seekers, vigilante soldiers, or even organized crime. The possibilities are pretty well limitless!
