Roleplaying Language
Basic roleplaying keywords are:
RP: Roleplay
PC: Player Character (Usually...you)
NPC: Non Playable Character (Not you and usually not any other real person either... think less Ash Ketchum and more...Nurse Joy)
WB: Writer's block
OOC: Out of Character (You may also use parenthesis to show that it is you who are speaking, not your character.)
IC: In Character
BIC: Back in Character
Powerplaying: Which refers to trying to control other people's characters.
Godmodding: Changing in game rules or controlling other characters actions or reactions.
Mary Sue or Gary Stu: Creating a "Perfect character" with little or no weakness, overly dramatic or perfect past, and excellent at everything.
Collab: Two role-players write a collaborative post.
CS: Character Sheet
Literate: A very good role-player who shows that they are able to demonstrate proper use of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and so forth. A literate role-player knows when long introductions are appropriate, understands the place for short one or two sentence posts and keeps in character emotions separate from their own.
Semi-Lit: A decent role-player who has an "OK" grasp of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and so forth. A Semi-Lit role-player typically writes (sometimes excessively) long introductions several paragraphs in length and posts of up to a paragraph and longer.
Illiterate: A terrible role-player who disregards all grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etcetera ad nauseum. Their spelling is usually equal to chat-speak (also known as "l337 spk"). An illiterate role-player typically writes one paragraph for their introduction, and around one or two sentences per post. One word posts are also frequent.
Warnings
Never God-Mod. God-modding can refer to many things, for example: being immortal (never gets hurt or killed, dodges every blow), or taking control of another person's character. Usually it is a power or point of character that unbalances the role-play.
If wanting to fight in role-play* You have to ask! People don't like things like this out of the blue *Comes out from shadows with a sword and slashes off your arm*. You got to ask first "OOC:Can we fight?"
A lot of role-players prefer you to have a certain standard for how much you write, and it always varies. You might aim to write three good sentences while someone else wants three good paragraphs, or vice versa.
Never power-play. No one likes to role-play with someone who is in one place, then is mystically in another without moving, or has actions completed that they have not included in their post. Power-playing is also used to describe the action of controlling, injuring, killing, or otherwise manipulating another character without the player's consent, such as shooting or tripping a character. It assumes that the character's fate is yours to control, and is one of the most impolite things you can do in role-play.
Whatever you do, do not ramble! Nobody wants to read three paragraphs about minute details like the colour of a dinner plate, the past of a character from birth to present day or the tone of their voice! Little details about a 'fragile ivory dinner plate' or a 'low, raspy hum' are great, but be careful; write too much and people will skim or even skip over your posts!
No one likes someone who makes two or three posts and doesn't post forever. If you have to go on a trip, have a job or something, then inform your fellow role-players so they don't sit on their butts waiting for you all day. Also, if you don't like how a role-play is going, work it out with the people you're role-playing with, instead of just leaving.
Another thing to avoid is creating a Mary Sue/Marty Stu. You do not want your character to be 'cliché' or unoriginal. A character who is too perfect, too powerful, without weaknesses or overburdened by a tragic past may be seen as a Mary Sue if these elements are not very well thought through or considered.
If a role-play is "yaoi" or "shounen ai," it is asking for a homosexual relationship between two men. When it is "yuri" or "shoujo ai," it's asking for a homosexual relationship between women. These are popular concepts and if they're part of your role-play, make sure new players are aware before they agree to join!
