Kinda forgot how to roleplay
« on: November 14, 2015, 02:34:19 pm »
Ok, so I used to be this really intense roleplayer, I would play Feral Heart 24/7 non stop all day every day.
But then...I kinda just stopped playing the game for 2 years, I don't know why, I just did.
I want to get back into the whole roleplaying thing, I kinda forgot how to be a good roleplayer...any tips?

Moving this to the Game Help board, as this topic appears to be more for seeking help than offering a question of discussion. Good luck with the roleplay! Don't forget that roleplaying is really what you make of it, and that you don't have to roleplay a certain way. Your roleplaying style might have changed over time, so don't be afraid to explore that. c:

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

A few more guides to help you:

Presets & Markings
Miscellaneous

If you join a group to RP in and you offer to make a map or so for them, you might also need this:
Mapping
Modding & Meshing

If you ever played with toys as a kid and like made stuff happen (ex. They would meet people) can't think of a better example -.- anyways it's just like pretending that's why I love this game so much
We are all perfectly imperfect don't let anyone decide who you should be just be yourself if someone calls you a mistake thats ok cause none of us are perfect

Well, rping is just like describing something your actions to much, Just over describe things,
Eg. The fae lifts her smooth,slim frame off the hard ground, She grips the soil with her sharp claws, her hair gently swaying in the wind.
All the best :)

Just a little tip:

Never give up, no matter what. Don't be disheartened if someone turns you down. Just keep at it. They're probably jealous anyways. Be yourself. Well, I mean, try to use good grammar/punctuation, but if someone turns you down, it's their loss, no?

@~Xx.Derp.xX~
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not exactly was roleplay is. Your example was only one style to roleplay.

Roleplay is the act of playing a role of anything, weather it's a person from history, an anime character, a country or even a simple object like a cup.

There are 3 most known ways to roleplay:
1.) Sebastian grabs the twig from the ground, inspecting it. "How interesting.." He managed out quietly, setting the stick away. He spun on the balls of his feet back around and began walking to the manor, hands tied behind his back and his head hung low as he thought.
2.) *Grabs the twig and inspects it*
How Interesting..
*Goes back home*
3.) grabs stick how interesting puts down and leaves

Also, it's always a good idea to use proper grammar and make your statements easy to read, as shown in example 1.

Just saying, but advertising yourself to get nominated isn't the way to go about it. Just only being helpful isn't the way you're going to win, and especially if you're advertising yourself.
