Welcome to Gaia! ::

Most members of this guild know how to role play which is great. They are also at the very least semi-literate which is even better. Yet however i feel that there is not enough traffic or role players in the role playing forum. I want to set up a guide to the yes's and No's of role playing and such forth.

I want everyone to contribute to this guide as there is no right or wrong way to role play. Although there are already great pages in the Role playing forum with basic knowledge about literacy, abbreviations and such forth, i want this guide to focus more on character development, plot devices and how to get around that dreaded writer's block ((Yes it is horrible)).

Tata and Respond. I want to know what you think about this idea. It is better if we have lots of contributions as there is no right way to roleplay as everyone has their own style.

EDIT: When i say character devolpment, i am referring to having a clear outline of what your character is like so it isn''t like the character has a spilt personality. Also devolping the character's race for those that are new to roleplaying because i've seen mistakes out-side the guild such as a vampire immune to the sun, a half angel, half demon, half vampire and half werewolf guardian and so forth. I want to prevent that from happening in the guild.

EDIT: When i refer to own style, i mean own style while obeying the rules.

EDIT: This is going to be the OOC for the guide. If you want to contribute a paragraph or so like WildWindWhisper and Tatsu_the_dragon have, please do so.

Completely agree.

( Blush) Most times everyone that RP`s is semi-literate. We have 6 literate RPers in the OAAG. With one more added yesterday. However not all the Literates still partcipate in OAAG.

This is a cool idea. Eventually we must place it in the RolePlay Forum.

I agree. But agree with Angel Academy about there being rules. Most are set up by the RP creator. But there are solid logical rules too. ( Godmodding/Ect)

(Blush) Have worked hard on achieving that.


, Umm. Good idea..........

I agree.

Shall post ideas when I have more time.

State your character`s name at least once in each post.

This helps to indentify you with the character you are playing and with plot line.
It gives opportunity to not need to constantly look back at the Character Bio/Skeleton lists for who you are, what your purpose is, your personality, and relationship to others. It gives flow and helps others to maintain train of thought.
( I , personally had this problen till recently)

Yeah. Those that do RP are good



Cool.It will go well with the other stuff that is posted in the RP FORUM thingy.



Yes. But more is good. I like the other stuff. Learnt alot about RP from it. Didnt know anything before it.



That is not what most RPers on Gaia believe. Here however the OAAG is a learning guild and a place of various levels of RP and learning. Tatsu has been good with that. She likes the helping and has made it clear to Crew that we are to be helpful, compassionate and mentors.

Sharing my info and stuff.
Well, I am really a newbie at RP but it would seem to me that for character growth it would be best to have the character go through a few painful moments or experiences. ( A lost love, broken body part, illness. or something like that)

(Once more I blush.)



To further express this thought.
The growing process of a character is change and is what is wished for to occur within a plot line. However, not total personality change. The character (generally speaking) should maintain their original essence. There are times when complete change of personality do occur but it’s not a regular concept. Growth is slow, is a learning process and occurs through well setup actions.

Which forum do i start the thread in? Roleplaying or Gaia Helps
