Question though, other than trying to figure out the basic stuff about your character what is a good starting point? Setting a goal for the character or some such or just try to figure that out as my character progresses?
Awesome! Just keep trying. Around this time of night is when the server usually opens up. I would recommend finding a main goal or two for your character--something vague is fine. As you begin to role-play and progress, you can specify that goal and/or find other goals and motivations for your character.
When I make a new character, I usually start with two questions: What and Why?
The What being simply a loose concept of what I want my characters to be, usually just a lot nouns and adjectives tossed about to describe what I want to play. So for my character, Faye, for example: Healer, Hyur Midlander, "proper" lady, pale, white-hair, snooty, good manners, likes to drink tea, and such.
The Why is asking why my character is those things and finding answers, or simply expanding on those ideas. Why did my character choose to become a healer? What in her background and in her personality made her want to do that? Why is she a "proper" lady--what traits are attributed with that, what traits make up that archetype?
