Welcome to RP!
I would give yourself only the most very, very basic outline for your character, then join in and try to RP! You'll learn more about your character as you go, and can fill in blanks and even change things as you figure it out!
I would do your best to separate your character from yourself, conflating the two is called bleed-through. Its important to remember that players are play-acting their characters, its no different than an actor in a movie or show, or the writer of a character in a book - you should not take anything personally!
That said, think here are a couple of quick questions to ask about your character:
1) What did his parents do? What was he raised to do?
2) What does he want to do with his life?
3) How does he have/make enough gil to get by day-to-day?
Those all provide hooks to get going right away!
