About Roleplaying

Wikipedia wrote:

In roleplaying, participants adopt and act out the role of characters, or parts, that may have personalities, motivations, and backgrounds different from their own. Roleplaying, also known as RP to some, is like being in an improvisational drama or free-form theater, in which the participants are the actors who are playing parts, and the audience.

Roleplaying is basically when you take the role of a character (it can be one you make up or a character from something else) and act it out with other people. On this forum, it usually goes something like this...

- Someone posts a topic, explaining what show, book, scene you'll be roleplaying... in.
Ex: Naruto Roleplay!

- They can also post a back-story and scenario, and you make up a character and stuff.
Ex: Trapped on a Desert Island Roleplay

- Then they may list the characters to choose from
Ex: Naruto Roleplay!
Characters:
Naruto
Sakura
Sasuke

Ex: Trapped on a Desert Island Roleplay
When you make your character, please list your...
Name
Age
Story
Hobbies

- You can post and request what character you want to be or what your character is like.

See, stuff in asterisks (*) is an action, and when you want your character to say something, it's usually "Character: Dialogue" (only with your character's name replacing "character", and the words replacing "dialogue".) You don't have to do it like this though, get creative!

- When someone's already taken a character, the original post might say...
"Characters:
Character 1 (Remilia)
Character 2 (Kawaii)
Character 3 (Naruto)"

The person who is being the character is in parentheses.

That's about all there is to say about roleplay. If you have any questions, ask 'em here, and I'll try to answer them~! You can also use any current roleplays as guides to see how it goes.

Good luck, duckies.
