RP Basics
RPG and RP - What does it stand for?
Its quite simple really. RPG stands for roleplaying game, whereas RP just stands for roleplay/roleplaying.
What is Roleplaying?
Roleplaying is a game and altogether fun. A roleplay is where you have a set plot of some sort and play a character through a story with other people playing other characters to help build up a story. You could look at it like a Fanfiction built up of loads of people.
What are made-ups?
Made-Up's are characters that you create to play in a roleplay. You need to make sure that the roleplay in question allows them or not because some will just allow canon characters which they will name for you.
Difference Between Normal Roleplay and Advanced Roleplay
Well it is pretty simple. Normal roleplay is just for members who are starting out or who don't want to go too much in depth with their roleplay. It allows more of the basic RP skills and is the most popular out of the two. An example of normal roleplay is below:
'Sarah looked down the corridor and headed slowly to the Professor's office. She was slightly nervous of meeting the Professor. Raising her hand, she knocked on the door.'
Advanced roleplay is for more experienced members who wish to go more in depth with their roleplays and feel they can produce more experienced and dramatic roleplay. An example of advanced roleplay is below:
'Sarah look down the corridor, slowly easing up toward the door which had the golden engraved name upon it. She checked behind her to see if anyone was behind her, not that it mattered. She was extremelly nervous and wasn't altogether sure what she might do with all the butterflies tumbling in her stomach. She forced her hand up and reluctantly made contact with the wooden surface, knocking it.'
