Its all networking, I find (OOCly, that is). I can only speak for myself, but the deeper sort of RP only came for me after I shopped my character around, found an FC/LS, and all that. It was definitely a bit draining and less fun than actual RP, but actually getting RP hooks via RP is pure luck and circumstance. Not to say that it doesn't happen, of course!
Do you have an objective for the character as the writer? Like a personal arc or something you want Hammer to explore? If so, you can literally PM people you think fits in there and perhaps get something going. Or offer up Hammer to be involved in others' plots. There's also FCs and all that; I'd speak of my own FC but recruitment is actually closed right now since we recently had an influx of new members to assimilate (but definitely look up Aeon in the future :V).Â
Anywho, that's what I did and it works for me. Results may vary.

Hammer exists as a ride along right now. Â He's here to get into other people's stories. Â That's a purposeful brake on my part. I'm new here. Â I need to get involved. I need to get involved in other people's stuff.
There's longer reaching arc stuff but A) It's designed to be A Long Game type of thing and B) It Can Wait because I am a Newb here. Â It'll get done when it gets done, or it might never see the light of day. Â Depends on who Hammer meets and why.
So yes: I'd love to get into other people's stories. Â I have no idea how FCs work in regard to getting into things. Â I've never seen a "guild" system work like this on an RP server before, so I'm kind of curious how one helps work as an axis for Stories.
