Hello new member! If you dont know what roleplay is, it is when
You act as a character that is different from yourself
In this online RPG, we post as our characters! here is an example:
this is my post. i am roleplaying as my character Kiyye.
Posted By Kiyye
Okay. " kiyye sat in her bed staring at a pencil. she was determined to turn this pencil to copper and give it to her new cabin mate as a present. she now had a copper stick, cup, flower, and spoon, but she was doing the pencil also, so that she could have lots of choices. she closed her eyes and pictured the pencil. she then pictured the pencil turning to copper. she peeked, and there it was. a copper pencil. she carufully placed it in her drawer of the things she turned to copper, and took out the arrow she had been working on. having you specialtys be copper and weaponry was convinient, as she couild easily make copper weapons. she had been fiddling with this copper arrow and trying to make it a boomerang. so far, she had gotten it to go forwards and then spin back to her, out of controll. she was try ing to make it iIn controll. she threw it and it raced back at her. " ahh! " she ducked. she picked it up aggain and started sharpening the point.

that was my post. it's like writing a story from the third person, but you are only allowed to write about your character.
this is squirrley's post right after mine, as her character, Jay Mc'Neil:
-------
Jay had to duck as she walked in the door to Cabin A. "What the heck was that?" she asked, glancing at the object that had been flung at her; a copper arrow. She walked over to her bed, climbed the ladder, and noticed that another bed was occupied by another girl. "Why did you throw an arrow at me?" she asked, her clenched fists growing warm.

powerplaying is when you roleplay as someone else's character.
here is an example
( note: this example is made up for this thread only. )
this is me roleplaying as kiyye
( this is not actually a real post )
---
" UGHHH " kiyye groaned. she was so tired! she didnt want to go to history class! wait.. history! she DID want to go to history! she jumped out of bed
------
this is squirrley roleplaying as Jay
( this is made up; squirrley never did this! )
----
Jay walked into the romm and sat on her bed. " what are you doing up so early! " jay demanded
" its history today! " kiyye replied.
---
see when squirrley makes kiyye do something here:
big no-no. it can be from something as simple as the character tying his/her shoes, to something as huge as starting a food fight. dont do it.
