Welcome @Flojangles, I hope you have fun here. If you're coming from table-top rp, the site does have a post-by-post tabletop section. It might help you with the transition. Enjoy.
Welcome to the site @Angelic Knight, it's lovely to meet you. I'm a bit new here aswell and I'm currently on a welcoming roll. Nothing wrong with playing the quiet characters. I've found that if everyone is too loud boisterous and outgoing in a roleplay thing can get overwhelming. And who doesn't love a bit of mystery, eh?
Hey @Adrina welcome back to the world of creativity that is roleplaying. It's lovely to meet you. Little secret: I like romance as well. I can be a real sap for good cliched lovey-dovey roleplay, xD
