First, let me say I'm glad that you have decided to join us officially. : ) Welcome, it's always great to have new RPers and please feel free to ask any questions you might have.
Like you, my only MMO was XI before XIV came around. I made the jump over to XIV and RP was pretty much what kept me here until the game itself started to become more enjoyable.
I'm hoping you'll consider making your main leveled character your RP character, but can understand if you have connections/linkpearls on another server to keep in touch with. I only say this because I have seen people try to have a main character for leveling and an alt for RPing and it is difficult for them. RP isn't (unfortunately) something that is going on all the time, so when you log in on your RP character and don't see any RP to jump into, you may log off and go to your other character.. when five minutes later, some RP pops up! You will have missed it! What a lot of us do as these are our main characters is level/play the game in the "downtime" between RP (or RP in the downtime between raids!), or we speak on our RPLS's in-character to see if we can incite some during the quiet times. While events are scheduled often, there's nothing better than just bumping into someone and starting up some unplanned random RP!
Not to say you can't make it work just fine, (don't let that scenario discourage you from delving into an RP character) I just wanted to let you know how it works sometimes in game! : ) You might just end up leveling your RP-only character too, just because!
Welcome, again!
