Roleplaying Tips

lizardfeather • 2 April 2011 at 7:04 PM

Just a few tips if you are new to this:

Etiquette:

~NEVER control another's character, unless you have their consent. Even for one little line, ESPECIALLY if you are going to kill them
~DON'T become all-powerful unless it's supposed to be that way, which isn't normal. It just doesn't work with others (normally)
____You should avoid:
______*Coming back from the dead
______*Traveling back in time
______*Killing another character
______*randomly appearing somewhere else
______*ignoring what the person above you said
______*being "perfect" or having no flaws in your character
______*Taking no injuries in a battle
+again this depends on the roleplay and situation, just as a general rule you should be cautious of these+
~Notify your fellow roleplayer's if you're going to be gone a substantial amount of time

Tips:
~Be very very very very descriptive
~GENERALLY, 3rd person is preferable, it's up to the roleplay coordinator
~Try to let the person you're addressing respond before addressing them again
~Put stuff that doesn't relate to the roleplay in parentheses or brackets so we don't get confused 😊

This is great! Especially the "Be very very very very descriptive part. But I think it should have one more very 😉

PLUS: show dont tell. dont say: she was mad. instead, say: her face turned an ugly shade of purple, her eyes narrowed and as she leaped at the ice-cream-stealer the awesomeosaurus let out an earth-shaking roar that shook the earth.

see how that changes LOTS of things? also, if you are stuck, that can help you think of what to do next! 😸
