Ah, thank you! I'll definitely need some help if I don't want to completely embarrass myself in an attempt to RP.

I can be your... your... mentor if ya want

I would absolutely love that. I've seen you, like, all over the place and you really seem to know what you're doing. If you wouldn't mind, some tips would be much appreciated.

@Edme Achillian Cool name, by the way.
Here are a couple resources that you may find useful!
Here is the Where to Start? post which provides a few ideas for how to get started, a few things you can do, some examples.
Here are the Basic Rules, that usually helps in figuring out how things work.
There's also a forum for Frequently Asked Questions.

It's a very vast world and community, it's understandable to be a bit confused at first. But everyone is very kind, as displayed above, and more than willing to help with any questions you may have.

I am- just- so annoying. I'm everywhere. But it's cool so.
So! Tips tips tips.... HM
making your encyclopedia or your "ency" as we call it. It seems you've got that covered, but you need also your trunk post. That way you can get in the index, which is basically the official registered characters on the site. They can earn spells and roleplay in main story events (a site-wide thing set up by mods) I'll explain that if you need.

Start roleplaying! GREAT character development!!!

I'll totally roleplay with you by the wayyyy

And roleplayyyyyyy
Word count as to be AT LEAST 200 words- seems scary at first. But just, describe every move your character does and their thoughts... for example...

Edme let her eyes shift to the girl in front of her. The blue eyes reminded them, faintly, of a crystal blue sky. Edme offered a smile in return to the girl and held her hand out. "Hey, well, then, nice to meet you." They paused for a moment, then introduced themselves. "I'm Edme."

That's like, an exampleee

I have been SO confused by the trunks! It's like really difficult to understand and the descriptions don't exactly make it much easier. I've kinda been waiting until my Lycanthropy thing gets approved or disprove so that I can actually fill out stat and race things.

okay, trunks. You can check out mine here. They hold your stats, which you can learn more about here.
The trunk holds your spells and potions, which you can learn by doing homework (which is out of character, by the way. Since you're new, you don't have access to homework yet. )

Oh, and also I’d recommend starting a thread in the Hogwarts Express forum, Sorting Ceremony, or First Year Entrance. They’re all great places to start since people are very open to interactions. Also like Juniper suggested, you should definitely post in RPG Partner Requests, it’ll help a lot. I’ve started a lot of my threads from there.

yeah what Val said

You can also look for any open rp threads in the unread posts, because they do let anyone join those, Edme.
