Let see.. Well I had been playing Impressive Title before Joining Feral Heart, so I knew most of the controls, how to navigate, and basically how to role play.. So I guess I'll have to talk about when I first joined IT?
It was the earlier days of IT, no items or prey had been put into the game yet, and very few maps, heck, there weren't even accounts back then! My first character was this awfully dull, trying to be realistic lioness named Pineleaf (I was obsessed with Warriors back then), and I ran around as her like a blind chicken for the first day. I had played a few other games(-cough-wolfquest and guildwars) on the PC so the controls weren't to hard to get used to, but I had never role played before, I had seen other people do it, but that was about it.
The first person I met was playing this dark brown male named Dax, who later became the co leader of the group called Jaaku Clan. And of course I was a newbie who copied everything going on around me, so instantly my character had a crush on them. Sadly for my stupid self back then, he went with a different gal, one who actually knew how to role play. I got over it soon enough and continued to hang out with them. Then I made a new character named Bast Imret(Based on a character from Tail Chasers Song), a huge black beast with wings and what not. I would go around and join in any fight going on, and with the amount of cub killers about, there was always a brawl or two. But it was the way I would fight that made it really dumb, I still didn't know how to role play at this time, so I would power play and auto hit the heck out of people by jumping onto their backs and ripping their spines out! Luckily after that fiasco I met KIller and Dante Donovan and became one of their cubs, Oscuro, and with them and Raksha I began to learn how to role play like a somewhat decent person. Though it would take me awhile to learn that roleplay is not to be taken seriously, and that it is just for fun. In the end Oscuro was killed by her own cubs because I had yet to learn how to keep my characters personalities constant. But after that I'd say it was smooth sailing for a good long while.
