ITT: I and others will be giving tips on role play. We can discuss how to role play and our own role playing tactics. As most of us knows Role Play can also be known as ‘RP’.
Role playing is when you take on the role of another being. You are not yourself usually wile in RP.
Wile you are role Playing you are IC or as others know it as In Character, and of course OOC would be known as Out Of Character. You mainly should not need the use of OOC but there are the odd times and when it is used put Brackets Some people will use one set of Brackets other use two such as (Hi there) or ((Hi there)).
Wile role playing you must type in third person instead of using me and I use He/She His/Her. I will be listing a few examples of how this should be done. Another thing that is important is to list how your character is feeling, what he/she is seeing and the emotion surrounding them… Puppetting is not usually acceptable, Puppetting is when you type out actions for another person which is not your character(s). It is usually acceptable though if you lets say... Stab someone, obviously if you stab them in the stomach if they are not built like a wall... they will for surly crumble to the ground in pain. God modding is a no. If you are just an everyday human you cannot have godly powers of course. So don’t act as if you are all powerful and no one can destroy you when you are indeed mortal. But the main thing in role playing is just adding detail to your post.
Example of something that could be detailed but is not.
Kait looked around for the monster that was following her.
Kait looked around her surroundings feeling scared. She knew there was a monster coming after her. The last she had seen of him he was chasing her now he was out of sight, this made her concerned and fret he had something planned against her.
When you role play you type out your actions. You act as if you were writing a story (Which again uses third person) and use quotation marks for dialog.
Example:
Kait screamed out in fear hoping someone was around to come to her rescue. “Somebody, Help me!”
See what I used quotation marks for her saying “Somebody, Help me!”
Others that have tips on a successful role play please feel free to add. Of course this is how I was taught to role play and I am just passing it down to others. Everything I say here might not be how others role play, so please share your techniques.
I will be starting a starter role play to those who wish to have some practice. It will be labeled, “Starter.”
