I might be repeating some of the things these people have been saying. First and foremost, you should have an outline for your character but at the same time be open for change and to go with the flow. I had a character back on Warcraft that I had RP expectations for, when they never got to fruition, I got incredibly disappointed and retired the character. You want to try to avoid that and remember that you're not the only one writing the story in RP, so things just might not work out the way you want them to.Â
Another thing a lot of people have been mentioning is alts! Alts are a great way to create an assortment of chracters to play on so you always have different kinds of RP. The only downside to getting alts on Balmung is that it's extremely hard to create a new alt on the server for free. Most people have to create a character on a low pop server and transfer for $15+ dollars.
Also another guy mentioned this, but when you're in a small group or 2 person RP, OOC communication is great. If a RP is not going the way you were envisioning, talk to your group or partner about the situation and see what they want or what they think on it. I know this is extremely hard to do - especially in romance RPs, but if the relationship RP is just not working for you for whatever reason, break up, tell your RP partner that you're sorry and move on. You don't want to be stuck in a RP you're bored with or unhappy with.
