Some Common RP terms

*Role Play:(aka rp, roleplay) ::: this is taking on a part, much like you would in a play but instead a chatroom replaces the formal stage; you don't have a script of lines to memorize; there isn't a director telling you where to stand and what to do. In essence, you've stepped into another person's shoes and you're pretending to be that person/being/creature/whatever. Play out childhood fantasies, dreams of flying, etc., etc.

*Typist: This is -You- the person behind the character. This is the real live person that is typeing the words on the computer..

*Character: This is the being/creature/person you've made up. Base itt off a comic book character your own imagination, whatever. This is spereate from the typist.

*Avatar: (aka av) this is the picture someone uses to give their character a face; some sort of identity. It's how the typist identifies the character; imagines the character to look like. You don't necessarily need it to roleplay. It's just something nice to look at while you scroll down the page.

*In Character: (aka ic) this means to be in the role of the being/creature/person you've made up. You -are- the character when you are ic.

*Out of Character: (aka ooc) this is a term used when the typist wants to say something or do something but not through their character. This is used to present the Typist's ideas and speech. When In Character the typical ooc format is with double bracket ((as such)).
