A lot of people don't realize that they essentially have to -be- this person, so if you spend hours crafting a personality that you can't even relate to then it's going to make RP'ing harder and less enjoyable.
Yeah I figured that if say someone is a overly moral person IRL then crafting a particularly immoral character and trying to RP as them would most likely lead to a conflict of interest within the RPer themselves. This just being an example.

Don't be afraid to send /tells or PMs to people, ask about organizations you find interesting, or anything else. This is not a community that turns people down typically unless there's a significant clash or ideas or a bad fit. Its safe to say that every group would like another solid RP'er to write with.
This might be an issue for me as I expressed I'm kind of a loner XD, though I will try to get over this "hump", it's nice to know the community is an accepting one which'll make it easier for me.
