Starting and Roleplaying in General:
Please don't post continually without other characters being involved because you'll cut a character out of the role play. This isn't really applied to before the characters meet and start to roleplay together. Once the role plays get moving, please wait for the rest of the roleplayers as a courtesy and now a Rule. If a role player isn't on for more than one or two weeks and hasn't signed into the Notification board then you can continue. Thanks.
Creating a Roleplay:
A brief overview is needed when you first start a thread, especially in the Books/TV or Video sections. (See ones that I’ve created for examples). Give some history on what has been going on in the setting of the rp. If it fantasy or sci-fi, include boundaries, and concepts.
You are usually only allowed one or two characters, unless specified. There can also be minor characters where everyone controls them (like teachers in a Modern Day school roleplay).
Hint: Don't make the roleplays too complex! (Example: too many types of creatures/races in a fantasy rp), because it's just to hard to work with and people will get bored and things just won't go too good from there.
--->>How to Roleplay:[/u]
It’s like writing a story (think of it like writing a story with many people and an unknown ending), so write it as if you’re writing a story:
Don’t say something like Jack cried (*kicks chair). That sentence would be put into: Jack cried and kicked the chair…
It's better to use past tense. There's no first person narative rping unless specified.
Write with detail, not on just what you character(s) is saying but on what is going on, settings. You wouldn’t read a book if it just had what the character was saying. That is what needs to happen here. (It sounds harder than it actually is)
Example:
Jack ran through the woods. He could hear whatever it was closing in. He could hear its heavy breathing. The sun was setting and soon there’d be no more light left…(Something like that)[/size]
