How to RP & RP Terms

THE BASIC TERMS OF RPING:


IC Also known as In Character is a term used widely without spelling out the wording In Character. In Character is the action of which someone acts within their Character. This means in a simpler term that they make their character move within the Character Realm.


OOC Also known as Out of Character is a term used widely without spelling out the wording Out of Character. Out of Character is the action that does not deal with anything In Character. This is a statement where a person may talk to another user without their character interacting. This is usually used during a chat form, discussion form that does not deal with the actual RP.

Example: (OOC: I just want to say that I hope we enjoy Roleplaying with each other. I am joining in to help.)


Godmodding Mispelling of Godmoding & God Modding in rpg and forum settings, thus the meaning is the same. The term applies to "Godly-modification"; or "Godlike-modification" to a character, through skills such as evasion and the like, as well as the character's personality which usually consists of a superior "I know all, see all, and am all", et cetera. The singlemost annoying and obnoxious gamers on the planet. Tend to act like 7 year olds when they don't get their way during games of pretend, i.e. - Bang, you're dead! Yeah huh, I killed you and you can't play anymore! Those who believe they are gods never taking a hit. This is the most defiled form of Roleplaying. Don't do it.

Third person RPing:

This type of roleplaying is the most common out of the lot and the most preferred. People who roleplay this way, roleplay as if they are writing a story of some sort. An example of this is below:

Sasuke looked down the corridor and headed slowly to the classroom. He was slightly nervous of meeting the the new job, for it was his first time subbing. He raised a hand and slowly opened the door, finding himself face to face with a room full or students. "Hello. My name is Sasuke." He said. "Class will begin now."

Asterix RPing

This type of RP'er uses asterix's (*) to play out actions. For example:

*Sasuke looked down the corridor and headed slowly to the classroom. He was slightly nervous of meeting the the new job, for it was his first time subbing. He raised a hand and slowly opened the door, finding himself face to face with a room full or students.* "Hello. My name is Sasuke." *He said.* "Class will begin now."

Italics RPing (actions)

There is two types of italics RPing. This one is where members italic all of the actions that they make. Like so:

Sasuke looked down the corridor and headed slowly to the classroom. He was slightly nervous of meeting the the new job, for it was his first time subbing. He raised a hand and slowly opened the door, finding himself face to face with a room full or students. "Hello. My name is Sasuke." He said. "Class will begin now."

The Italics RPing (speech)

This is exactly the same as the above apart from this time the member italics the speech that their character uses instead of the actions. An example:

Sasuke looked down the corridor and headed slowly to the classroom. He was slightly nervous of meeting the the new job, for it was his first time subbing. He raised a hand and slowly opened the door, finding himself face to face with a room full or students. "Hello. My name is Sasuke." He said. "Class will begin now."

Multi-Color RPing

This type of roleplaying is where you can use any of the above types but use colours to show the differences between your actions and speech. An example is below:

Sasuke looked down the corridor and headed slowly to the classroom. He was slightly nervous of meeting the the new job, for it was his first time subbing. He raised a hand and slowly opened the door, finding himself face to face with a room full or students. "Hello. My name is Sasuke." He said. "Class will begin now."
