As Franz said, the vast majority of RPers have something of a gentleman's agreement to not be the hero of the main story quest, or one of the warriors of light. Not saying you can't, but it causes two problems with RP. One, the issues that they face in the main story quest are so over the top that your character will find it hard to relate to most RP that people do, and beyond that, only one group could have taken down ultima weapon for example. Why do you get to be that person?
Also I think being a warrior of light is pretty boring, where is the drama if you can just pop back to an aetheryte if you're hurt, hydalyn protects you from primals, you have all the GC leaders on speed dial, etc etc.
The farthest I'll push my involvement with the main story is that my character fought on the outskirts of some battles, and has also fought against some primals when they get reincarnated (which is a common occurrence), and has done some of the dungeons ICly.
