[quote]but how does this work, exactly? Do we post RP ideas on this thread and hope people like the sound of them, or do we contact individual members we like and discuss the ideas with them, or do you make RPs yourself?[/quote]


[url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2867515]Writing Protocols[/url] might help some with this. But to also summarize, you can write any story within the scope of this world, within the powers of a non-GM writer. This can be anything that might occur on a fairly normal day for your character. If your character is a blacksmith, it might be them at work, or at the tavern meeting a lass, or exploring the woods and being attacked by a bear. You can find other writers/characters in this world to write with. There are typically 3 styles of stories. Solos (just you writing about what happens to your character), Player Stories (you writing with other characters aka normal RP), and GM Run Stories/Quests (One of the 3 GMs writing with you/other characters). 

As for Character Creation, I am fairly lenient. Any race can be used, even unlisted ones. Though unlisted races will need to be approved by me so they are balanced and given their Racial Bonuses and anything else deemed necessary. Most races aren't fully written up, so their racial histories and cultures are up in the air for those that wish to use them. As for lore to read, that really depends on the history you wish to put with your character, though I personally like more vague backgrounds that you can fill in through flashbacks and reveals in story. So if your character is in Ruby Banks, you might want to read the lore on Ruby Banks as well as the Ebonfort Capital, and Ebon Knights. You'll want to read Skills to see how those work when adding the skill points, and the individual magicks if you wish your character to be a mage. 

And I'm always available for questions, no matter how simple or complex. Just hit me up :)
