Hello Lysian,
welcome to the RPC! Don't worry about "proper" roleplay, there are a dozen different styles and as many variations for the situation they're in! Anyroad its good to hear you've decided to take the plunge. In an effort to give you a sample of whats out there i've compiled a small list of links i'd like to share.

This Welcome post is from the RPC to all new members and outlines both the community history as well as some of the key features of the site, such as the wiki, the calendar and the forums.
Speaking of Calendar, there are two events occurring on Balmung today that you might want to take a peek at:
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/calendar.ph...h=2&day=22
One hosted by the Harbingers of Dawn and the other being held outside Ul'dah at the Coffer and Coffin.
If you'd like to learn a bit more about RP on a general level, want to know a bit about how some people approach it, or just want a reference on hand the RP handbook by Eva is an excellent resource:

On to a few sample communities! In game there are quite a few linkshells all with different goals and methods but I have two fairly generic ones that are a good starting point for getting to meet some of the players out there.

"Intermission" is an OOC linkshell that boils down to a chat room at the heart of things. Talk about the game, a patch, a different game, a quest, a location, and oh so much more. If you'd like to get to know the player before the character, this is a good place to start!

"Balmungs Finest" is another OOC linkshell but with a narrower goal. To provide a way for PVE players to get their fix. If you want to farm a dungeon for some swanky RP gear, or just need help with the story line dungeons and don't like the random strangers of the duty finder, this is a good option.
I hope you're able to find at least something in the above. As always, please remember that the RPC is here to help, if you have questions, comments or concerns you are free to voice them here, there are plenty of people who will offer advice, opinions or opportunities to discuss things both in-game and elsewhere.
Best of luck out there
