User blog:Tetrawyvern/Trying to get a little more involved

I'm pretty new here, and I don't exactly know how everything works in terms of the roleplaying system. I've roleplayed a lot before, but never on a site like this. I'd be interested in joining a roleplay, but all the currently active ones are too far in to accept new characters. A little advice about how the roleplaying system works here would be great.
