Give me a little while to make my character. Also, how long do my posts need to be? About a paragraph long or such?

How long's a piece of string?

Pretty much dependson the context.

For example, my character is in a room with a bunch of other PCs in a meeting.  In this case and context I could probably spit out 2 or 3 lines responding to questions and it would be alright.

...but then stand-alone posts should be considerably longer.

Check the IC to get a feel for what's average.
