Hi, I'm new here and am having some trouble with my character profile. I have the base idea for the character, I have the person, I'm just feeling uneasy on details. For example, I'm not sure how old and world-weary I should make this character with my limited understanding of your world. Would it be wiser to start with a younger, less experienced character who learns as I do? Are there people who would be willing to RP with such a character? I'm not sure whether to start this character out as a hardened fighter or a fresh-faced youth.

If there's someone who read my application (the last part of my characters history that I have set in stone) and is interested in RPing, let me know, because I can amend my characters history to suit any scheme we formulate.

And another thing, while I'm typing. I've seen people implementing a sort of class level system with their characters. Is this manditory, or just a personal interest thing?

Abydos is completely free-form. So there are no ideas or canons you need to worry about in your character design. You can create any character you desire within the genre of high-fantasy.
As for whether to make your character world weary or young: why don't you write both? I often have as many as three threads with the "same character" and in actual fact they are significantly different in each, and certainly seem a different age...

Whatever inspires you. You don't need to create your character in a way that fits the world here or what the other characters are doing (other than it should be a character that fits in a fantasy setting). Create the character how you're inspired to play him/her, and then just write. Someone else will probably say "Ooh, I have a great character to go with that!". You don't have to use a class system or anything of that sort.

Different query then, what is the common tongue IC? Also my characters basic profile is up, only the history needs to be finished, so take a look and see if any ideas jump to mind.

The common tongue is simply known as Common. Simple as that, right?

CHAOS: WHERE GREAT DREAMS BEGIN...
Before a great vision can become reality, there may be difficulty. Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with great difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree...so must we sometimes push against difficulty in bringing forth our dreams. Out of chaos, brilliant stars are born.

Sorry, wasn't sure how D&D-esque the languages would be. Some people really go to town there.
