(I made a guide line and I figured it would be hilarious, so I showed it to everyone.)
What is roleplaying?
Bob123: What's up, Larry?! > : D
Robertrocks: My name is Robert, Bob...
Robertrocks: The sky is up.
Bob123: Robertbob? That sure is a strange name ya got there.
Bob123: Gee, Robertbob, I sure hope it stays up there too! It sure is big!
Robertrocks: ...I think Larry is a better name then Robertbob...Anyways, didn't you call me up saying you had a question?
Bob123: I sure did, Larry! I almost forgot too!
Robertrocks: That doesn't surprise me.
Bob123: My friend said I didn't know what r...p meant. I told him I knew more bout dis ol' rp more din I knew 'bout ol' yeller!
Robertrocks: And...you didn't knew a single thing about it, I suppose? o.0
Bob123: Gee, Larry, ya sure are smart.
Robertrocks: I don't need to be smart to figure you out.
Bob123: So, wat's a rp, Larry?
Robertrocks: Its Robert.
Robertrocks: It means roleplay. You know those games you play where you play as the character? That's roleplaying. Only, he means about typing it.
Bob123: Larry, ya dink I'm stupid?
Robertrocks: Its Robert.
Robertrocks: Sure I think you're stupid. Why?
Bob123: I know you can't type where you play a game pretending to be a character!
Robertrocks: ...That didn't make any sense, you know? Anyways, its not a typing game. What it is, is you type a story with you in the character's shoes. You type about how they act, feel, and then respond to another person's character.
Bob123: Gee, Larry, if ya think I'm stupid den don't go typing up your ol' complex stuff...
Robertrocks: ...It like this:
Robertrocks: "Mary laid down in the grass, careful of her new dress, and glanced up to see the sun. Quickly, she shielded her eyes and rolled over her side with her back to the sun."
Bob123: Ohhh...So, you're actually a girl?
Robertrocks: ...Anyways, you just put yourself in your character's shoes and type it out.
How do I make a character?
Bob123: Sooo...Larry, how the heck do I make a character?
Robertrocks: Who the heck is Larry?
Bob123: ...I have no idea, now dat ya mention it.
Bob123: So, how do I make a character?
Robertrocks: Well....to make a charrie on Yutorin High...
Bob123: Woah, woah, what? Charrie? I talkin about CHARACTERS! Git ya facts straight, man!
Robertrocks: No, you need to get your facts straight, Mr. Guy-who-called-me-Larry. Charrie is short for Character.
Robertrocks: Anyway, on Yutorin High, you don't have an official application to fill out. You can either post your own for others to make (which an admin will pin) or use one someone else posted. It's either that, or just type it up in a neat format.
Bob123: Gee, Larry, ya sure talk a lot.
Robertrocks: ...
Robertrocks: Anyways, after you post your character, an admin will accept it and move it to the "Accepted Characters" forum.
Bob123: Gee, Larrybert, that sure is a long wait.
Robertrocks: "Jist" go hang out at the "ol' " general discussion then, 'Borry'.
Bob123: Are ya makin fun of da way I type? D: < Dat jist ain't right, Rorry!
All Done!!!!
Bob123: I'm done, Larry! I'm home free!! No more of this ol' rp stuff!!!
Robertrocks: No, seriously, my name's Robert...
Robertrocks: Oh?...Show me your character profile.
Bob123: Why ya big son of a-....Well, if ya insist, my ol' stalking friend.
Bob123:
Name: Bob
Gender: Male
Species: Mind controlling psychic with mad strength
Age: 16
Appearance: Pretty, blond, cute. Likes pink. Cosplays.
Personality: Funny. Stubborn. Friendly. Popular. Athletic. Smart. Everyone likes him. Cool. Wears glasses.
History: Was kidnapped as a kid and raised by gorillas. By age 12, he was taken by a pair of humans and changed into the cool guy he was. Instantly taking a liking to maid outfits and pink ribbons.
Other: Just plain awesome.
Robertrocks: I knew it...Oh god, please save us. >.> *sighs*
Robertrocks: First off, the name. It should be "Bob Millers" not just Bob.
Bob123: Don go sayin my last name al' around this here internet!!!
Robertrocks: ...Your last name is Evans...
Bob123: Oh yeah...
Bob123: So what's next?
Robertrocks: Species. A...mind controlling psychic with mad strength? No-no. One, no mind controlling what-so-ever! That's godmodding. Meaning, it allows you to control other people, aka, 'acting like a god.' Also, a psychic with mad strength is not a species. It would be more under 'other' then anything else. 'Psychic' is a species though.
Robertrocks: If you want to point out things like his super strength. Make a part that says 'abilities', or 'powers'.
Bob123: Gee, Larry, you're quite the troublesome fella...aren't ya?
Robertrocks: ...*cough* Anyways, you also have your appearance. One, 'likes pink' is not an appearance. It a personality. You can say, "wears a lot of pink," but liking pink itself is not an appearance trait. Cosplays is also a personality trait. You can say, "wears cosplay outfits", but, again, cosplays is a personality trait. Also, don't go "pretty, blond, cute." Its creepy since his name is Bob and all, but that's not the point here. Pretty is a retired word, meaning its a word that you're not suppose to use at the level...most people are at. Instead, put things like, 'big eyes', 'long, silky hair', etc.
Robertrocks: Also, the personality. 'Cool' and 'wears glasses' are not personality. It's appearance. Almost everything in this area is not a complete sentence, and are retired words. No using, 'funny', 'friendly', 'popular', 'athletic', and 'smart'. How is he friendly? Is he formal and polite to everyone? Is he outgoing and just seems to say all the right things? Or is he calm and doesn't annoy others? Also, popular. Who is he popular with? Girls? Guys? Nerds? Jocks? Werewolves? Fairies? How is he athletic? Is he flexible? Strong? Fast? Coordinated? Balanced? And how is he smart? Is he a great science geek? Mechanics? Math? Or does he just have A's in every subject (though not technically saying he's a genius in every subject. Mostly it means he knows how to study and use his time wisely)?
Robertrocks: Another thing is...This character is just...wow...
Bob123: Gee, Larry. Thanks!
Robertrocks: No..Seriously, wow... >.> This whole character is just perfect. Which, regretably, is a NO. A character can not be all around 'the perfect jock geek'. Aka, a Mary Sue or Marty Stu character.
Bob123: Gee, Larry, you suck. What's a Mary Sue? It sounds pretty.
Robertrocks: ...Its not. Period. A Mary Sue (the male equivalent is Marty Stu, but I'm not sure if Bob is a Marty Stu and a Mary Sue...) is a character is all-around perfect. Things like how you said, "Everyone likes him", "Smart", "Athletic", "Mind control" are things that a Mary Sue would be.
Bob123: Gee! How do I know if he's a Marty Stu or a Mary Sue, Larry?!
Robertrocks: Hmmm...Go here!
Bob123: Gotcha! *goes to fix things up*
Now what?
Robertrocks: I see you got your character accepted.
Robertrocks: Good for you. Almost thought you'd give up after the numerous times you failed...miserably, may I add.
Bob123: Shucks, Larry. It was nothin!
Robertrocks: Nothing enough that it took you 20 times to get it right?
Bob123: You sure are harsh, Larry. DX
Bob123: So...what do I do now?
Robertrocks: You...rp?
Bob123: ...
Robertrocks: *sighs* ...Post in one of the topics, like, for example, school, and have your character do something. Be it sit around and eat chips on the teacher's desk or sit gum on someone's backpack. Sooner or later, someone should reply to your thread.
Bob123: That's is?
Robertrocks: Yep!
What is roleplaying?
Bob123: What's up, Larry?! > : D
Robertrocks: My name is Robert, Bob...
Robertrocks: The sky is up.
