As a fellow Balmung newbie, welcome! I will share my dubious advice that has gotten me rolling here.
You have MANY PATHS to glorious Arr-Pea. I suggest you,
#1, make a wiki page for your character(s).
#2, make a post in the 'looking for connections' forum here.
#3, look through aforementioned 'looking for connections' and poke people you are interested in playing with~!
#4, look through the Linkshell directory for IC and OOC RP communities that fit your interests. (There are some general-purpose ones that are often used for players looking for connections/RP event announcements)
#5, look through the FC directory for FC's relevant to your interests. Not necessarily to join (but I highly advise it) but they often run events open to public, or open to people who get in touch with them- if your character can fit into their story somehow.
#6, look at the calendar here! It's rife with events running all the time.
#7, if you're okay with walk-up RP, make sure your search comment includes that! It's a really small amount of space to write much, but use something akin to [Broody duskwight seeks chiropractor] or whatever fits your fancy. Just having [RP with me plz] works, but is a bit harder for walk-ups to begin because... uh... they don't know how to start.
#8, drink lots of coffee until your entire being vibrates with caffeine and you can astrally project yourself into the game for glorious RP.
Good luck, have fun, be safe, look both ways before you cross the street, and I hope to see you around!
