Hero of Time
Avery ran inside, shielding his head from the pouring rain outside. Thunder cracked, and he began writing on the board. Welcome to class. Please have a seat anywhere.
"Welcome students, to the College of Solitude, founded in 4E 188. More specifically, last week." Avery smiled at his little joke. "Here we are open to all new students who wish to learn to roleplay. Anyone from beginner, to expert can participate. I do, however, encourage the more experienced to answer any questions that newer people may have. Now, for the rules."
He unsheathed his Ebony longsword and set it against the podium. "Everything you do in here will be done in the format of roleplay, no OOC. Also, refrain from any language and excessive violence, due to the fact that any ages could be here to learn."
"OOC stands for Out Of Character. Most rp's, or roleplays, will have an OOC thread separate, where you can discuss ongoings of the story, real life complications preventing you from posting, etc. Please refrain from posting OOC in the rp." He grabbed a peace of chalk and began writing OOC on the board, along with its definition. "Make sure you follow rp specific rules, such as color for character dialogue. To put color in a characters dialogue simply type [ color=xxxx ](text)[ /color ] with no spaces. All thoughts should be entered in italics by using the format above, with the letter i instead. And make sure you use proper grammar. Improper grammar can cause your post to be difficult to read, and annoy those who care a lot about grammar."
"Now on to creating a roleplay. To create one, simply start a new thread naming the roleplay, and label it open, private, etc. Make sure to mark 18+ if the roleplay is going to include violent, sexual, or any other mature themes. Make sure you also have an OOC thread to explain the rules, backstory, if it isn't already explained in the rp, limitations, etc."
"When you join an rp you need to make sure you post your character in the OOC. What you choose to include in your character profile is up to you, but you should at least include the following." He began to write Name: Age: Gender: Race: Backstory: "All characters have a name, and unless your character has a special reason, everyone should know. Age is more important as it seems. It'll give others an idea of your possible physical limitations, and experiences. Gender is important for obvious reasons. Same goes for race. Now your backstory is perhaps one of the most important. You'll want to have a detailed backstory of your character so everyone can get an idea of what your character will be like and what he's been through. It also may explain any disabilities, mental issues, or anything else."
"These are the very basics of roleplaying. Any further questions will be answered by either me, or any of the experienced roleplayers. Good luck, have fun, and remember, stay in character!"
