Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roleplaying is essentially creating a character and using your imagination and descriptive text to make that character come alive. But with roleplaying comes a few rules and regulations. Listed below will be some of the rules along with a quick guide into how to make your roleplaying more realistic and desirable.

When roleplaying there are two distinct formats: symbol style, and semi-para. The easiest of the two is symbol style, and is generally shunned upon when roleplaying in a large, multi-user, literate roleplay.

Symbol Style, uses some form of asteriks, periods, or other combination of symbols to show action whilst posting dialouge in normal text. This is a no-no when posting in an RP thread here in this guild.

Semi-para uses normal text to describe a scene, what a character does, and then in quotation marks will be dialouge, or what your character says.

An example of semi-para is as follows.



Something similar, will only garner you praise and happiness.

Preferrably more than one sentence, unless you're suffering from major writer's block, but even then, simple sentences can be friends.
