Hi. I have a few questions:
1, Roleplaying: How common is it? Are there any major corps(Bonus if it has active Australian players) that I should look into? Any chat channels I could join?
2, Piracy: Sounds like fun, how should I try getting into this? Grab a ship with some crap glued onto it?(Don't worry, I'll use space age glue) and fly to low-sec to kill stuff?
3, Finding a corp: How should I go about doing this?
Thanks for any help you can give. |

I will leave 1 and 2 to be answered by people with more experience in that field of gameplay.

1. RP. There are RPers. I don't personally know many of them, though. I think if you poke around a bit in the RP section of these forums you will get a sense of how to get involved.
2. Piracy. There are as many ways to be a pirate in this game as you can think of. At the most simplified level, yes you can put some guns and a warp scrambler on a frigate, head to lowsec, set your safety to red, and try and tackle people mining and ratting in asteroid belts. Sometimes it works well, but can be frustrating when you spend all day roaming and can't find any good targets. Many new players get started in highsec as well, because there are many more targets and they have better stuff. There are various forms of highsec piracy which generally involve using some form of deception to trick people in expensive ships into doing something which will allow you to legally shoot at them. It can be a lot of fun if you don't take the game too seriously and enjoy playing the bad guy.
3. See J'Poll above.

There isnt a huge amount of role playing in EVE but there are a few corps/alliances where this has been encouraged. You just have to look around a bit when you are looking for a new corp
Piracy is another matter. Piracy in EVE is more or less defined as killing people in low sec and/or ganking people in high sec illegally. There are quite a few corps that engage in this kind of thing but I do not personally know of any that role play.
Finding a corp is easily done in this game. Visit the forum called recruiting on this same set of forums. There are hundreds of corps spamming recruitment messages daily. Many have rigorous recruiting requirements and procedures. In a sand box game like EVE that kind of process is required. Putting spy alts in other corps is the norm not the exception. Folks go to great lenghts to try to prevent this. Most of the time they fail to do so. |

Other activities that are associated with piracy include ninja looting, running an extortion racket, suicide ganking miners and industrial ships etc etc.

Your other questions were answered, so I'll handle this.
Join the channel 'OOC' in game, say hi, ask questions, go from there 
It's an out of character channel.

I don't have much experience with #1, but 2 and 3 I can help you with.
I've been a low sec pirate for most of my time in Eve and it's definitely my favorite playstyle. My alliance specializes in low sec frigate/cruiser piracy, mostly solo with the occasional small gang thrown in for flavor. The best advice I can tell you for learning how to pirate is to grab 20 or 30 of the same T1 frigate and learn the ins and outs of that ship by fighting as many people as you can. As you get further along you can change the fit as you want to, hopefully striking the perfect balance for you.
There are many blogs that document a pilot doing exactly as I described above. My blog (at http://lucaspadecaineve.blogspot.com/ ) is one of them, and a more well known one is Taurean Eltanin, no longer an active player, at http://flight-of-dragons.blogspot.com/ . Just be sure to start at the earliest post and read on from there.
If you like what you read and want to give it a try, check out my alliance's eve forum recruitment page at https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=326844 or my alliance's forum at http://evechatter.com/t/R1DER/index.php/board,24007.0.html
Good luck finding out what you want to do and with your corp! You can contact me with any questions you have.

Roleplay isn't that big in EVE but you'll still be pleasantly surprised by the size of it's community.
You've probably already noticed the RP section of the forums the Intergalactic Summit.
Marcus mentioned the ingame channel called 'OOC', there's also the In-character equivalent which is called 'The Summit'. You only appear in-channel once you post something in there, so you can always feel comfy to just sit an observe.
Finding a corp for something RP-related seems to be kinda hard imo. Searching the recruiting forums won't reveal much, likewise if you lurk in the recruiting channel ingame. I think your best bet (if RP is a priority) is to lurk in the RP circles a little and just check out corps as you see people who take your interest.

My only add to what others have said is to not assume you need to go to low-sec (or null) to kill stuff, and eat well as a pirate. There is a very vibrant asshat/piracy/merc/pvp community in hisec, which as added bonus you get to enjoy from the comfort of areas close to trade hubs...
Consider...you are a would-be Lion in the Serengeti, do you camp the watering holes and jump the fat water buffalo, or do you go deep into the desert to fight and scrape meat off the bones of other jackals or Lions? Lots of fat water buffalo's in hisec.

Though I personally have no issue with it, many eve players laugh at RP in eve. It's fairly rare and something most people don't advertise, lest they be ridiculed. |

Ridiculed, like being a miner or mission runner?
Like any label in EVE it's less about what it says, and more about how you wear it, that will result in ridicule or otherwise.
Also, come at me bro.

People RP in EVE without ever realising it anyway.
