"Casual" Role Play System

I know that some people in this guild would be interested in starting an RP, so I thought I might introduce one. However, this is not your traditional serious RP. I figure there are already enough places one could go to do some serious, plot-driven Harry Potter Role Play, so I thought I might start something different.

I thought I might start something more casual. In most RPs, there is a serious plot, and only people who are devoted to checking in and playing every day can really keep up. This, however, is meant to be light-hearted, and most likely more humor oriented, like what we have going in the Hog's Head thread. The only real difference is that it will be a bit more structured. People will be able to officially create characters, or play as actual characters from the book. Also, different threads will represent different locations.


The Basics

Thread Set-up

Each thread will represent a different location. Anyone is welcome to create a new RP thread. In order to avoid the creation of repeted threads, however, I ask that you PM me with the following information before creating a new RP thread:

Thread Name:
Brief Description:

Once I OK your topic, you may create the thread. The first post in the thread should be a description of the area.


Character Creation

You must create a character to join the RP. Even if you are RPing as yourself, you still have to fill out the character creation form. To create a character, go to the Official RP Character Creation Thread and follow the instructions.

You may create your own character, or RP as one of the existing characters from the books. However! If you are playing as an existing character and you do not post in the guild for 30 days or more, you will lose your character. Once this happens, someone else may claim the character as their own RP personality.


About "Casual" RP

Casual RP is not meant to be taken too seriously. It is purely for amusement, and will be primarily comedy-based. There is no real plot, no killing, no battles, etc. It is simply meant to be a light-hearted alternative way for guild members to interact with one another. I made it this way specifically so that it would be easy for anyone to join or drop out of the RP at any time should they wish to. If you have any specific questions about this, please PM me. (If I get enough questions, maybe I'll even create a FAQ. *Gasp!* Oh Em Gee!)


Rules:

1. No cybering.
2. No excessive swearing.
3. You cannot kill another person's character
4. You must create a character to post in the RP threads. Otherwise, your posts will be deleted. (You may post in the other threads without creating a character)
5. Keep discussion to the discussion threads, and RP to the RP threads.
6. FOLLOW THE GUILD RULES
7. Should any dispute or harassment occur, please contact myself or one of the other "crew" members to help resolve the situation.
