Hello Synn, and welcome to the RPC as the others have said.
Theres plenty to see here, groups to meet and people to know. Hopefully the holiday season will provide you get get involved with some cheer, both in game and out. I have a bit of information to provide, hopefully set you out into Eorzea with an idea of what you might like to do. If nothing else, rest assured that there are many here that are open to questions of all sorts so please don't hesitate to ask.
First off!

This welcome post should provide you with a bit of information about the RPC itself as well as some of the features of the site that could come in handy. There's more besides, though much of it is on the forums themselves, such as the Mumble, and the Skype shared channels.
If you'd like to take some time to get to know more about Roleplaying as a whole, and FFXIV Roleplay in Particular, Eva has written an extensive handbook featured:

Not exactly a "light read" I think it provides (if you have the time.) a very solid foundation of information to expand off of. OF note, the sections on Teleportaion and "the echo" are of particular importance.
But perhaps you'd like to jump right in and get to know the people of Balmung. While you're always able to message people here, or pop into the world and flag some one down, there are also a few linkshells dedicated to getting people together Out of Character in the hopes of building the community.

"Intermission" Is a general OOC group that serves to facilitate getting to know the people behind the character in a conversational manner, just chat about what you might see, or how the days going, where people might be, what they might be up to ect.

"Balmungs Finest" is for PVE content, Dungeons, Duties, Trials and much else, if its group based, chances are some ones making a group for it, or is willing to join your own. I really like the chance to work with people on Balmung before having to pull from other servers via the duty finder, I think it promotes working through the rough parts and explaining things instead of just dropping group at the first sign of trouble.
Phew! with all that aside, the character concept sounds interesting, and its good to see you have some experience in previous MMOs! while I never had the chance to try Aion, i've heard some good things.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns, i'll do my best to address them. In the meantime, best of luck out in Eorzea!
