@ren06:
Hey there, I know I'm late but welcome to the RPG section.
I know people have already spoken to you about how to go about things. But I'm just going to provide my own two cents.
First thing you wanna do is familiarize yourself with the rules. Nothing is worse than trying to RP only to have no clue what is and isn't allowed in the RPG section and what the basic etiquette is. Read up on the General RPG Rules here. Once you read up and understand the rules you're going to have to familiarize yourself with the CVnU RPG rules. The CVnU (ComicVine New Universe) is the currently active Main RPG universe. So familiarizing yourself with these rules is also something you're going to want to do.
As other stated there are other universes (such as Naruto theme in the works, Game of throne theme, Star Wars theme and so forth) but with you being so new I would recommend getting your footing in the CVnU before you join any side universes that don't have anything to do with the CVnu.
Once you get the rules down, the next thing you're going to want to do is create a character! In the RPG section there are no restrictions on what kind of character you can create. However, you never want to start out your character as being the "best" at anything. If you do that then you leave no room for your character to grow and develop. Leaving room to grow helps create character interaction and character development. I'm not saying your character can't be awesome, just don't make them overly powerful. Some basic RPG advice can be found in this thread, and while it's a rather old thread, it still holds up to today's RPGing.
If you decide you want to create a higher tier level character, you need to still be able to sell other characters in a battle if you get into one and this means a lot of times not using your character to their fullest potential but rather holding them back... and sometimes holding them back a lot. No one, and I mean NO ONE, enjoys fighting a character they know they cannot win against. It sucks the fun out of it.
Once you got your character going, you can help flesh it out by posting things such as "Random facts about your character" and "Official Look thread". If you don't know what kind of look to use for your character, you can always post in the "Official I need a new look" thread to ask your fellow RPers for help.
Theres more I can say but I don't want to overwhelm you too much with information lol
If you do have any questions please feel free to ask.
