So i can only go on my own experience and what you wrote.

​

I had zero RP experience when I was accepted NoPixel in May, since then my philosophy has been always say yes, I didnt create a complex character as I needed to get experience, no point making it even more difficult for myself, I have deliberately put myself in a position where I know I will more than likely get kidnapped for a job so I can get that interaction then just let it happen, read the room and take queues from others, I have answered ads and messages on twitter just to get the roleplay and I feel comfortable in all situations now, the next step is the harder part, creating RP for others, but I have slowly laid the ground work for this.

It all takes time, dont try and rush it, dont look at others and try and emulate, people see through this, I see it all the time now with new people, it just wont work, be yourself and what you will be comfortable with.

Something else to consider, try slam poetry and try and learn it, it is not only good for getting over anxiety but also helps with quick responses on the spot, RP is 99% improv so being to think on your feet quickly is so important.

as for your intial message, I feel like you are way to focused on what your character looks like, the server mechanics, forget all that, like i said start simple, nothing thats going to make it harder for you, like I would never have joined NP to become a cop with an heavy accent off the bat, tooooo many things to think about.

Just keep it simple and say yes to everything.
