Maximum124 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Hello friends, as a complete and total noob when it comes to RP; I would like to start one up, as practice is the best way to get good at this type of thing. (also as a crude attempt to make friends)I'm a big lame butt when it comes to RP setting ideas, So perchance we RP our current avatar's characters in the DS universe? (there's probably going to be an entire army of Wilsons running around)again Im just a beginner when it comes to this so if a more experienced person could help kick this off that would be the bestI literally have no clue what I am doing and have no clue how this is supposed to work out PLEASE HELP(the bird in my avatar name is Napkin btw uvu)*THIS RP IS NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS* Edited June 24, 2013 by Maximum124 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenWyvern Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 [Well, I tend to speak out of character in brackets]*Vincent then explains to Maximum124 that he used asterisks for actions*And, here I am. How are you today? Nice day to not be breaking the fourth-wall.---[Everyone tends to have their own ways of doing things, this is just mine.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battal Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) RPing is quite simple. I usually do it like this:-Actions- *Lord Battal lights the tree on fire*-Dialouge- "Ha! Take that, ya lousy tree!"-Thoughts- (I actually feel kinda sorry for it.)If you use multiple characters, I'd suggest assigning a color to each of them. For example:green=treered=LordBattal"Haha. Burn!"(Why is he doing this to me? )I'd also suggest adding a character order. When I first started with Life on the Islands, we had a lot of trouble with out-of-syncness. Just keep things logical and entertaining, and you'll have an excellent RP in no time. Edited June 20, 2013 by Lord_Battal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeoSS69 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 So the whole "OC" and "OOC" is so last decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenWyvern Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 So the whole "OC" and "OOC" is so last decade?The OOC thing is actually used on source games. I just adopted it.In source games, you would use /ooc for talking Out Of Character, I liked the idea a lot. But, I don't really use it. I just use square brackets.

Jomber Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Heyo. I was skulking around the forums, reading discussions and admiring art, and I figured this thread might be the best way to drop in and say hi, primarily because I'm interested in joining this roleplay if it actually takes off. I've never done a roleplay over a forum, just live action in some games. So being that a few rookies are here, I figured this would be the best place to start. Uh... I can join right? Not full or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact... how many characters are we allowed to have?Well Im guessing one per person, seeing as we are RPing our avatars, so I guess that makes you a Wilson of some description?
