Useful Tips and Tricks Neep a little help? Don't know what to do? Feel like your doing something wrong? You've come to the right place, my friend, as here you will find the complete list of Pearl's Easy RP Tricks of the Trade. You see those GOLD words? Those are little abreviations and words that frequent RPers use. A definition as to what they are usually follows. See the stuff in RED? Those are really important phrases, be sure to watch out for them. Introduction To RPing First off, I'd like to say, everyone can RP, no matter how much you write. RPing is easy, and can be really fun. It's an easy imaginative activity that can even help you with your reading and writing skills. You see, it's more than just typing up a story . . . You never know what your fellow RPers will do, or how they'll react to what your character (or "charrie") does. Now that you know a bit more, lets move on to what it actually is? Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role. Whaaa?! Well, this means you are "pretending" to be another person/creature/thing. When you role play online, you are typing as that character, or assuming the role and taking on the personality of it. So lets say you have a character named . . . Meme. You would fill out her Character Form and post it: Name: Meme Johan Age: Adult Gender: Female Looks: (when RPing on the board, you will most likely post a picture of your caryris) Personality: Sweet, caring and quiet. Meme only talks to her "group" staying away from strangers and new faces. She likes to have fun, but only quiet and sophisticated parties suit her style. Other: She is a caregiver to the herd. Then, all of the sudden, your Meme!! As you RP, she will grown and take shape, and you will be able to add more to her personality, history and others. Ready To Move On?! |

How To Create a Character Now that you know just what RPing is, lets start with how to create a character. I've broken it down into the parts of official Caryris RP forms will look like. As we go through, I'll talk a little on each subject. First; you need a name Usually, whatever your Caryris is named will be put in the name slot. Names can be anything within the rules, and you can always add "nicknames" at the end.Name: Maramalde "Meme" Second; How old are they? Are they a young adult, and adult, and elder, a child? How old are they. For official RPs, I'm not going to use numbers, but rather general phrases. Name: Maramalde "Meme" Age: Young Adult Thirdly; Gender. This is fairly self-explanitory, right? Name: Maramalde "Meme" Age: Young Adult Gender: Female Fourth; The looks *dun dun duuuuun* B-b-b-but it's not that hard! Just post the picture of your Caryris ![]() Name: Maramalde "Meme" Age: Young Adult Gender: Female Looks: [img]Picture Goes Hur[/img] Next; the personality. Mmaky, this isn't as hard as it seems. We just want a basic overall personality, 2-5 sentances. Then, as you RP, you can add more to it as you figure how he/she reacts to different situations. Name: Maramalde "Meme" Age: Young Adult Gender: Female Looks: [img]Picture Goes Hur[/img] Personality: Quiet and kind, Meme prefers to stay in her "group" of freinds. She doesn't venture outside of the herd often, and stays away from new faces. She can be a stubborn little Caryris when it comes down to it, she is certainly set in her ways. Now; The Items. One to three items. Do your Caryris wear any items? Name: Maramalde "Meme" Age: Young Adult Gender: Female Looks: [img]Picture Goes Hur[/img] Personality: Quiet and kind, Meme prefers to stay in her "group" of freinds. She doesn't venture outside of the herd often, and stays away from new faces. She can be a stubborn little Caryris when it comes down to it, she is certainly set in her ways. Itmes: None Last; The "other" slot. This is a place where you can literally put anything. Their job, relationships, little facts, a history, mabey even their likes and dislikes. You don't even HAVE to write anything at all! Name: Maramalde "Meme" Age: Young Adult Gender: Female Looks: [img]Picture Goes Hur[/img] Personality: Quiet and kind, Meme prefers to stay in her "group" of freinds. She doesn't venture outside of the herd often, and stays away from new faces. She can be a stubborn little Caryris when it comes down to it, she is certainly set in her ways. Items: None Other: A care giver in the herd. Occasionally; You might see another little catergory on there. Like in a battle thread, I might have a "weapon of choice" facet. Or a just "child" thread might have "favorite treats". These both help you develop your character, and help me hand out prizes and awards in the RP. Ready To Move On?! |

Usually, whatever your Caryris is named will be put in the name slot. Names can be anything within the rules, and you can always add "nicknames" at the end.
