Howdy Howdy!
I'm going to be honest, I've got no idea how to formally introduce myself even after all these years of adulting! So I'm basically going to wing it, and hopefully y'all be real nice by pretending I aced it to spare my fragile feelings, haha! But all joking aside, I've been curious about roleplaying for the longest time, I just never tried because I feared it would make me feel more unhappy, worried taking on the role of something else would be a reminder of my own projections or insecurities. However, I realized holding myself back from a potential hobby, all because of an irrational fret, wasn't conductive to my wellbeing whatsoever; so I finally decided to give it a go and look... here I am!
Now I'd love to proclaim I've got years of roleplay experience and I'm wearing to go, but that simply isn't the case! I consider my English writing abilities to be fantastic, but I'm not sure that means I'm ready to write an epic tale with somebody from the get-go. Basically, expect me to make a ton of rookie mistakes before I'm confident enough to call myself a writer. Speaking of writing, I sure hope forbidden romance between humans and fictitious humanoid creatures is a popular subject here, as that genre appeals to my tastes greatly. Recently I've been thinking of a Pokémon getting all lovey-dovey with their trainer, or something similar to that effect, as a starting point for my roleplay journey. Anyhow, to avoid the risk of boring my potential roleplay-partners to death before I get to meet them, I best wrap up this god-awful introduction. In summary, I'm new and going to stumble my away around this site till I figure it out, wish me luck!

Welcome!
If it makes you feel better, I just opted not to make an introduction when I first arrived because I, too, am bad at those. You’re a braver soul!
Anyway, I think as long as you discuss things with your partner, including your inexperience, things should be all right.
The biggest thing is to never control your partner’s character. If there’s like a tacit understanding, you can ‘bunny’ them, as in if you’re both walking towards a building together, with the intention of entering the building, it’s fine to assume they’re going to also enter the building with you.
Don’t auto-land attacks, don’t decide things for them. This is a hobby that’s about consent. It’s like 50/50 storytelling and acting. Yes you’re writing a story together, but you each have your own role to play. Hence roleplay, not collaborative writing.
As far as popular things, check the LFRP forum and you can get a pretty good idea. As long as it’s not outright illegal, it should be okay. The Pokémon would have to pass the Harkness Test for it to be a viable prompt.

Welcome to RPR, we hope you enjoy your time here and find the rps and people you are looking for! If you're looking for RP's, I suggest looking for them in the "Looking For Roleplay" forum or making a post yourself!
Welcome to the family!
Thank you all so much for your kind welcomes and sage advice! As someone brand new to the world of roleplaying, and therefore feeling ever-so-slightly (actually tons and tons) nervous, this genuinely helps me feel more at ease! I hope to grow as a storyteller, and maybe stop being so scared of introductions whilst I'm at it haha!

Hello and welcome to RPR! You’ve picked a good place to start roleplay as they have all types of genres and people to write with! Have fun and don’t hesitate to ask the help forums if you have any questions.
Welcome to RPR ! you will find many Rp's both 1-1 and groups advertised in the Forums, make sure to ask people if you find characters you are interested in as many players are often seeking RP with those characters or others.
Good job!
Hello! Welcome to RPR!That is a hell of an introduction! 5 Stars, would read again!
…seriously, don't sell yourself short, it is a very detailed and useful introduction! We've all started somewhere, and I doubt your start will be as bad as the cringe characters I created at 14… and if they are, more power to you, everyone should at least get one, or as many as they like!
Also, trying to avoid rookie mistakes is a rookie mistake (in my opinion)
I hope you'll find a nice RP here that is a lot of fun!
Actually a damn good introduction. Just who are you, and a little about you is all it takes here, and I think you got the above ad beyond box. ACTUALLY quite inspiring that you're new to RP at your age, because every post I see here is something akin to, "I've been roleplaying for 10 years" Which is amazing, but I do love adults finding new hobbies too, trying new stuff even if they might not be great.
But we all start somewhere.
Go to help > getting started guide and you can find some good articles on RPing and the do's and dont's.
Hope you have so much fun.
