If that makes you feel more confident, go ahead. A lot of the best character portrayals are ones that expand on the canon though. For starting out, just choose a character that you identify with especially and play her/him/other close to the way you would react yourself.

The idea is to get into the headspace of the character, not just try to make them do the same actions they do in canon over and over again. It's largely like attempting to write an AU fic and keep a character in-character.

It can be helpful to collect a list of recognizable personality traits and motivations and try to remember them when you decide how to respond to a post. I also like to frame reactions in terms of ultimate goals, for example: "The most important thing in his/her life is family, and they would do anything to protect them including murder and torture." It really lends an element of familiarity if you are always playing a character with a certain base concept like that in mind.

I hope that helps.
