Calling all Roleplayers interested in serious RPs!
« on: June 18, 2012, 05:56:18 PM »
Otebon and myself are going to lead an instruction guide on roleplaying here in the training grounds. It will be different than exclusively sparring but will include it. I am thinking that we will have a bit of social interaction, a bit of sparring, and some of what to do when you have idle time and need to fill at least three lines with fluff.

If anyone is interested in this please post here and we can get started. Happy roleplaying!

Alright... Just because I'm OCD and want to lay everything out nice and organized, here is what I'm seeing.

Instructors (2)
-Jovi Sparks
-Otebon Albrecht

Serious RP Interestees(5)
-Beatnory
-Dirtcopter77
-Sigutio
-Cifero Windtail
-Colioli4

It's up to Jovi to put a cap on the group, but I think that's a fairly healthy RP interest group.



What the... Otebon's a mod now too?!

Yes... Yes I am. And Proud!

Oh Ote, what would I do without your organizational skills?

I think there will be no cap on the amount of people that will be allowed to train, but we have a good amount of people to begin now.

First, I would like to see an example of everyone's posting skills as of right now. Don't worry too much if you have no experience RPing there's always room to learn and expand your skills.

I'll start off by setting up a casual setting scene in a college-type cafeteria.

Jovi's stomach grumbled loudly signaling she was hungry for lunch and after her first two classes and an hour break she knew she had enough time to get to the cafeteria for some food. Walking into the school's cafeteria was a new experience since she was new to the campus and didn't really know too many people. It was bright under the fluorescent lighting and different species mingled about at the tables strewn across the room. She got in the lunch line and looked over the menu for something vegetarian friendly an found a boca burger that suited her needs.

This is a very short example of description in a casual setting. Please post your entrance to the cafeteria and perhaps mingling with others or getting in line to order food. Remember that you can go further into detail than I did above and describe more, as Otebon probably will. :)

{I'm going to be doing a combination of teaching and posting. Everything below the line is my next post, everything above the line is my "teaching" and suggestions}

What Jovi has done here is a perfectly good RP post. It's three lines, descriptive, and shows some sort of action. She walked into the cafeteria, got a burger, and looked around. It's usually "polite" to the author of an RP to write a minimum of three, descriptive lines. Try to emulate this.

She wrote in the third person. Also important...

In my post, I'm going to try to be an "almost over-descriptive" writer (like I normally am... sorry). As a side note, I use italics to denote either emphasis (a common literary technique) and internal thoughts. Try to determine which is which.



Otebon dry rubbed his hands dry after leaving the bathroom. Being in his senior year, teaching students was a bit of a requirement. Luckily, he was able to get a job in the Chemistry Department, so it was more fun than tedious.

Otebon loved chemicals.

Without much looking around, he went straight to the cafeteria line. It was burger day, so he got himself a double with bacon and went for the fries and sodas. Grabbing a Pepsi from the fridge and heading to the pay counters, he swiped his Student ID and paid for his meal with his Meal Points.

Otebon smiled when he did this. His friends back in the door routinely referred to the Meal Points as "Monopoly Money". It didn't exist and it didn't matter.

Coming out of the cafeteria, he went to go sit in his favorite spot without really paying much attention to what was going on around him. His chair was next to the window, giving him a great view of the soccer field outside, and he plopped his backpack down in the seat beside him.

First things first, Otebon thought to himself as he laid back and let the sun warm his dark grey and white fur. Some of the tougher species in here may make fun of him for it, but this Timber Wolf loved to bask in the sun.
