I've Never RP'd before... How does it work?

Post by Ciao »

Title. It seems kind of interesting, but I haven't the slightest clue where to begin. Could someone fill me in?

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.)

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!
