Hello Vic! welcome to the RPC!
The place to post character information would be the wiki character profiles section [if you're looking to share and host data] or in the Roleplaying subforum if you're looking for discussion on the character. [wiki: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index...._Character feel free to browse and snag a template from some of the other submissions!]
Great to hear you have a lot of Roleplaying experiance, might I ask what server you played on in WoW? my main was Steamwheedle Cartel with a few alts between Wyrmrest and Twisting Nether. My experiences there were pretty long and I enjoyed it a lot, really helped solidify my desire to RP in MMOs.
On the table top side, do you still play much Shadowrun? excited for the game [bauldersgate style] expansion release?
Aside from the questions i've got a few links i'd like to share, you've likely encountered this information elsewhere or already have a pretty good idea of what they have, but just in case!

This is a welcome post to all new players on behalf of the RPC, taking a look through it you'll find some information on the community itself, some of the resources, and a few key members. One of the notable tools is the even calendar, and since i've mentioned it:
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/calendar.ph...h=2&day=22
That entry is for the coming Saturday and it looks like theres two events occurring on Gilgamesh you could check out.
If you'd like to brush up on your RP terms, just want to see how some other people are going about things, or want to know more about some Eorzea specific situations the Roleplay Handbook by Eva is an excellent resource:

[spoiler tag at the top hides the index so you can skip to the areas you find particularly interesting.]
But onto the communities! Looking at the linkshell hall and meeting the people in game is far and above the best way to find the right fit [particularly since i'm not on Gilgamesh much], but i've got two linkshells I like to share as a kind of "example" as well as being two that get a decent amount of traction with new and old players alike.

"Coalition" being an OOC chat hub for roleplayers of all different styles and times. A great place to just listen in and figure out who is where, doing what.

Where as "Limitless Sky" is an IC hub, for your character themselves to get to know other citizens of the great cities.
Hope I haven't bored you to tears, twelve knows I can go on and on. Please remember that the RPC is here to help, answer questions, serve as a place to air opinions and garner advice. Plenty of people will be willing to help you along your way, myself included.
Good luck out there!
