Hello there floofehs! <3
This will be a simple tutorial on role-playing.
In this tutorial, I will be showing you on how to improve your awesomeness.
Especially for you floofs I will show you my method of improving.
Let's start! :D
There are three levels,
Normal.
Semi-literate
Literate.
Let me explain.
Normal: When your role-play is normal, it's simple and easy. EX: Jake lifted his hand, reaching into his backpack
to get some food. Even though he only saw oranges,
he decided to eat them.
Semi-literate: Semi-literates are 50% literate and 50% normal as they add some details. EX: Jake lifted his right, skinny arm. He decided to take out some delicious food. He started to reach out for his red backpack that was on his back, slowly taking it off of his back with force. Jake unzipped his backpack, slowly taking the oranges out. They smelt lovely!
Literates: Literates use details and experienced words. EX:
The masculine observed his surroundings with his oculars because
he was always protective about his own genus. The stallion batted
at his haunches with his banner as he slowly lifted his right, injured hoof up
and gently placing it on the surface below.
What is power-playing?:
Power-playing is when you do something that isn't possible in real life or you injure/kill someone instantly:
EX: Kills no miss or dodge.
EX: The giant elephant stomped on the dragon killing it instantly.
EX: The human stabbed the animal in the head killing it instantly.
EX: The chihuahua bit the human's skull cracking it.
EX: The pug bit the horse's hoof braking it.
EX: The fox kit bit into the horse's leg getting into the flesh easily with his giant, poisonous fangs.
What is auto-hitting?:
Auto-hitting is when you immediately injure/kill someone without letting them respond:
EX: With his horn the unicorn stabbed the horse through it's leg getting into the flesh.
EX: Kills no miss or dodge.
Auto-hitting is basically power-playing.
How to stop power-playing/auto-hitting?
To stop power-playing or auto-hitting you could
try to say "attempt" when you're trying to injure someone
EX: The man attempts to stab the human in the head.
EX: The elephant attempts to stomp on the dragon.
EX: The fox kit attempts to bite the horse's leg with his baby teeth.
Be realistic!:
Do whatever you want but remember to be realistic.
If you're roleplaying as a small creature/human/whatever, be realistic about it!
How to be realistic?:
To be realistic, you have to think of what might your character have when it's big/small.
For example, If I'm a fox kit I could say that I have baby teeth rather than saying I
have really really strong teeth.
Want more examples? Here they are:
The wolf pup howled weakly as he showed his small baby teeth.
The small dragon flapped his little, weak wings.
The foal/colt/filly stood up for the first time but her/his legs were still weak.
My method:
Whatever animal I create I always go to Wikipedia and I check for information about
that animal. That always makes me feel comfortable about role-playing as my
character.
Knowing experienced words:
You don't have to be smart to be literate!
I always go to Wikipedia and if I find some information I usually
write the information on a piece of paper so I can look at the piece of paper
until I get to know the fact.
Thank you for reading ^.^
If you think I need to add something, please let me know <3
Bye.
P.S: This is my first time creating a help topic.
