Oh no, nowhere near it. I've just made my way around. Skymin is (I guess) the best, as she is the Moderator of the Roleplay Corner.
For RPing, the first good thing you need is a character that you can play. If you need help with character development, just ask. No, that's second. First, you have to find an RP that is very interesting. As a suggestion, I'd say you should join The Pokemon Trainer Academy. The GM there is very helpful and forgiving, and is a better role player than even I. She can help you with getting your story straight, plus PTA is pretty free form.
