What is RPing?
RPing (short for roleplaying) is generally, in all the contexts the interaction of made-up story characters with each other and their surroundings.
How to roleplay:
First off, you need a character to play.
Create one out of your imagination or from something.
Once you have your character, the best thing to do is to find a RP. After you do that check out the setting and storyline and join if you want.
Right, so you have your character, and your setting, now what do you do?
Well, start at the beginning obviously, introduce your character. When you first make an entrance, make sure you know where everybody else is (so you don't put ‘walks into the room’ and everybody is in a forest miles away), then enter, briefly describe your character, maybe a little history or personality mixed in with, but not too much, they don't need your life story yet.
Example:
The young child looked around the empty house, wandering about in its unrecognizable enclosure. I wonder if there are any ghosts in here..., she thought, looking back at her friend, Airam. Oh how well OokamiInu knew if they were ghosts about, she knew very well her friend would freak, for she didn‘t like paranormal activity. She smirked, having a idea in her head, and decided to execute it when it was the right time.
And now you RP!
Basically what you need to do is act, but through text. Type what your character would do and say. Type it in actions, dialogue, and thoughts. Put the dialogue in quotation marks, while you place the thoughts in italicized words.
Example:
She looked around with her dark brown eyes, wandering about to where her baseball went into to. It would seem like a classic with all the cobwebs and rickety things making sounds in this old place and some kids wandering in just to find something, fact was, it was her ball, and she wanted it back. Her dark brown hair caught some cobwebs, as her hand lifted itself once more to take them off of it. She then felt cool breezes brush against her light tan body, shivering a bit. Ah where the hell did the breeze come from…,She thought. "Hey Airam...which window was it again that my ball went into..was it the bottom or top one?"
Make sure to keep to character, if your person is supposed to be soft hearted, kind and gentle, don't make her yell at people and kill them (unless, of course, that's just another facet of their personality.)
So yeah those are the basics to roleplay.
