Sasuke's RP Registration for Dummys thread (Not related to the Computers for Dummies (E-bay for Dummies, etc) books or cds in anyway)(Because I don’t want to get sued)
This is a thread where I will break down exactly how to start an RP. This will make it easy for you creative Rp geniuses out there that need a slight push in the right direction.
First: The Pre-stages (This all take’s place in the CHARACTER PROFILE area)
This is where you will start your CHARACTER PROFILE thread. CHARACTER PROFILE stands for ‘Stats, System, Inventory, Bio’ which basically breaks down into info about your characters and RP where other members can join. Thus, the name pre-stages, because this is all you will need before starting an RP.
Storyline: The eye catching paragraph about your Rp (though it generally needs to be longer than that). In this, you want to put the main base of your RP. The main conflict, the main enemy (if any), the goal the characters want to reach, or the thing other characters might want to stop them from reaching. Also, you want to include setting (the where). Everything about your RP’s storyline, anything generally important, needs to go here.
In this thread, you want to give members a reason to join. A hook. You want them to be interested and hyped about you rp. Thus, always open a CHARACTER PROFILE thread with a storyline.
Now next, you want to post info about joining, as in character templates. A character template is used for people to join, so they know what specifically they need to let you and other Rpers know who their character is. It is used to organize all the info for characters, so people can reference to know what that character can do, and who they are. The following template is the most basic info that EVERY template needs to have.
Name: (Name of the character, or nickname)
Age: (Age of character)
Gender: (Male or female… and in some cases, both)
Physical Description: (A physical description of the character. This is generally about a paragraph which includes what they look like as in hair, eyes and eye color, skin color, height, weight, as well as what they wear.)
Character Personality: (What the character acts like. How he or she interacts with other people. Is he/she nice, sweet, prissy, preppy, mean, kind, loving, hating, or whatever.)
Intellectual Properties: (Is the character smart? Slow? Does he/she have OCD? How does their mind think. How does the character process information? Etc…)
Character History/Background: (This is one of THE MOST important part of a character profile. This tells what the character has done in his past, how he/she was born, how they were raised, how their past effects who they are now. What this character is doing leading up to when the RP starts. No RP is complete without this)
And that’s just the basic. Now for certain RP’s there would be more information, that wouldn’t necessarily be in another. For example, in a World War 2 game, you would have a spot for weapons/gun, but not a spot for magic/element. So thus, if it’s a magic RP you might see magic and powers and maybe weapon of choice like sword and whatnot. These are completely dependant on you, and what you want for your RP.
And then you’re done. You post your character USING the template you just made, and post the thread. Then, after you get a few members to join it, you start the RP thread. But that is for another guide.
They must be acepted my myself or another member of staff
