All joking aside, welcome to the game and server!
Over the time I've been playing, I've found it to be a great game with (mostly) great people in it. I'm also relatively new to the server, but I already love it, and if you like RP, I'm sure you'll fit right in.
As for advice, I have a few things I've noticed myself.
1: You'll more than likely end up creating many, MANY alts. I did, but maybe not EVERYONE is an altaholic. Seriously take time and try out the character creator, it may take weeks to find a character that suits you.
2: Once you have a character you are happy with, play with him a while, MAKE SURE you like them and are comfortable playing them.
3: Time to RP, this is a bit harder, in your characters description, I would recommend that you let it known that you are a new RPer or moderate RPer. Proceed to Pocket D. BE CAREFUL in here, some people REALLY get into character, complete with prejudices and animosity. Also, some merely use RPing as an excuse to be an @-hole. So tread carefully.
4: There are plenty of neat RPing SGs, but before you even do that, I'd recommend you play for a bit, canvas the game and see some of them for yourself. Don't jump in right away. Who knows? You may not even keep your toon.
5: You ever need advice, hit me up in game @Silas the Longshot, I'll introduce you to some decent RPers.
6: Good luck!
You pay to play. Having fun is ok. Kill Skuls or kill Crey. Hunt at night or in the day. Black or white or shades of grey. Play it your way. We have no say.

Have fun, don't let people tell you what to do or how to play (As in, "This is the only way."), be nice to other players.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Hey, Urchin.
Supergroups with RP Element? Theres a lot out there, you just need to find one that fits a theme you are looking for. I have a list of a good number of awesome RPSGs by experience.
Also, Watch the forums.
And use the advice of others.
Except from Unknown Heroes.
If you're looking for a RP SG, and if you've got/are willing to make an alt that's a kid or teenager (or maybe we'd make an exception and take you in as one of our 'advisory' adult characters), the Junior Vanguard is looking for members at present.
Welcome to Virtue.
Check out the Paragonian Knights (the link is in my sig) for all your RP/non-RP/teaming/TF/chat/SG needs.
Good luck!
Have fun!
Welcome to Virtue!
There are a lot of RP SGs out there, and a SG Fair coming up in about a week. Also check out The Cape Radio (Link in my sig) as we have a fairly active community of people from all different areas and SGs that hang out and RP together.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
@Silas_Gray
Heh, you're right about the alts. I have several characters started up, with a variety of concepts that I'm trying out or will be trying out at some time.
Although I don't have a lot of MMO role-play experience I played PnP RPGs for about 20 years or so, so I have some familiarity.
Perhaps I will attend that upcoming recruitment fair, but as you say there is no immediate rush to join up with a group.
Thanks for your offer of advice. I may well take you up on that.

Actually, Ninja Urchin is in his teens, though has been living on the streets for some time now as his mutation was poorly received by his family. Apparently some parents don't like their offspring suddenly growing a thick, black hide and having the ability to sprout toxic spines. Who would have guessed.
My other characters are older than that, and at the moment more a glimmer in my mind, just barely created... other than The Canadian Shieldman, which is my first and the one furthest along but on a break right now.
It looks like you are planning to be at the recruitment fair based on a post of yours I saw in that thread. Perhaps we will meet there.
@BigDaddyDream
That's an extensive site you have there. It will take a bit of time to give that a looking over. It seems like quite a large and established group. Heh, the few times I've been in large teams the action seemed quite overwhelming. It was fortunate that I just had to keep whacking things or I would have been quite lost in what was going on.
<----Runs the SG Fair yearly, maybe even 3-4 times a year. It depends on my support, if I'm grounded, or other various things.
Hello everyone.
I'm fairly new to the game, and chose Virtue as my server as there seems to be a fair amount of RP here judging by the boards and I hope to be able to join a super group involved with such.
I don't have any experience with RP in MMOs, but I do have a fair bit of experience in PnP games... though I haven't been able to do that much as of late either unfortunately.
I have created a mutant Spines/Willpower Scrapper... rather short with thick, black skin and long, black spines... with a build plan based on the melding of various guides I have read on the forum. Eventually he will have caltrops as well, for additional slowing of the enemies.
I called him Ninja Urchin as I'm *ahem* creative like that.
If any of you have some advice you wish to give to a new player, I would certainly be happy to hear it. Also, if any of you have suggestions as to super groups with an element of RP I'd be happy to hear of that to.
Anyway, I hope to meet some of you out there.
