Don't know how to roleplay? Well, i'll tell you a little thing about how it goes. Ya see, we have a few people in one thread and someone is going to make a story or a play. They will offer characters to people. For example:
Fry
Leela
Bender
... so on. Now, here comes the good part. My own miniature roleplay!
Leela: What do you mean you lost the ring?
Fry: What ring?
Leela: The fellowship ring!
Fry: Where?!
Leela: No you moron, you lost it!
Bender: Guys! I see it! The ring!
Leela: You do? Where?
Bender: haha, gotcha
cool, eh? What do you mean it was crappy?! Anyway, I could sit through a lot more roleplays but I have to get this message across: roleplays are basically stories but with lots of different people participating. If you still don't understand, here's something to help: How to roleplay

Sure. There's this off-topic bit, and there's a Futurama roleplay section. Welcome back Matts.

Eww, script format!

Write like you're writing in a book. Here's an example of an RP post I did once:
Pondpaw opened her mouth to sniff the air. It was her very first night out hunting on her own, without her mentor constantly meddling in her ear. The cold and bitter leafbare air nipped at her nose, but she was too excited to notice how chilly it was.
"Mouse," she whispered, quietly as to not scare the prey away. "Behind that bush."
The apprentice crouched down on the lush green gras and squinted. She spotted the rodent sleeping peacfully under a small bush. "Perfect."
Grabbing the mouse, she sank her claws into it as it squealed. Within a few seconds, the mouse had lost the life it had so much of seconds before. Although she felt sorry for the creature, the gray she-cat knew that it was the only way to keep her clan fed. After giving thanks to StarClan for the prey, she grabbed it and walked off in to the cloudy night.
"Just wait until I show them how big this one is!" she purred happily.


Compare that to this.
Pondpaw: [sniffs air]
It was her first night out on her own as an apprentice.
Pondpaw (whispering): Mouse. Behind the bush.
She spots it under a nearby bush, sleeping. She pounces.
Pondpaw: Perfect.
Pondpaw grabs the mouse and kills it, giving thanks to StarCan. She walks off.
Pondpaw: Just wait until I show them how big this one is!


Which one looks better to you? Hopefully it was the first one. Please try to RP in that format. Be semi-literate at least.

Use whoever you like! You can use Futurama characters in the sub forum, Futurama RPing though. Please, someone go and make an RP. Me and ZB really need to do something with this place...
