I've Never RP'd before... How does it work?
Title. It seems kind of interesting, but I haven't the slightest clue where to begin. Could someone fill me in?
Re: I've Never RP'd before... How does it work?
Fill out character sheet (usually in the first post), wait to be accepted, be the character, done. It's kind of like writing a book, but with a few others involved.
Also, a few role-playing terms:
Bunnying = controlling another's character
Godmodding = Doing something that's way overpowered for your character.
OOC = Out Of Character (In other words, this is you typing in a post, but you're not describing anything the character is doing. Usually enclosed in brackets/parentheses.)

Re: I've Never RP'd before... How does it work?
Ah, I see we have a newbie to rping! :3
It's pretty simple, i'm sure you'll get it after a while. And, adding onto eboy's explanation:
First off: If you're looking to join a rp(which I would suggest doing first), you'll need to read the first post throughly. There you'll find-
The Plot: Usually describing when/why/what the rp will be about. It's best to read this do decide if you're interested in joining.
The Rules: Rules usually all consist of the same things, including most of the terms eboy already gave you.
The Character Sheet: All(or most) rps will have a character sheet. This is something you fill out and post in order to join. Since you're posting in the chao sub-forum specifically, how about I go over typical chao character sheets?
Example-
Username: (Your forum username goes here.)
Name: (Your character's name goes here.)
Gender:
Age:
Color/Tone: (Your chao's main color, and a choice between whether it has highlights (Two-Tone), or it doesn't (Monotone.))
Alignment/Evolution: (Your chao's alignment(Hero/Nuetral/Dark) and evolution(Swim/Run/Power/Fly, and an optional second evolution.))
Personality:
Bio: (Short for 'Biography'. Write a short summary of your character's life/background here.)
Other: (Anything else you want to add.)
These are the basics, you'll catch onto more things from seeing how others rp, trust me. :3
Hope I helped!
