First, welcome to FFXIV and the RPC! I'll reply to any question I can...
You still don't need to pick your race for class so feel free to be whatever race/class combo you wish!

The adventurers guild in each city state normally has some RP activity, and there's always player ran events you can attend to watch and/or join that you'll find on the calendar on the RPC.
