Hmm, any advice for my rp history? - ghostcat - 03-10-2007
My first real RP
The links in my sig. I thought that an 1st person RP is overdone, so i decided to make the whole story from various files.
I'm no-where near complete, but i want to know what everyone thinks before i do more.
i thought a subliminal command to defend any trader might be interesting, especially if supernova is around ^.^

The best peice of advice i think i could possibly give you is makeit unique.
You could possibly study others RP and mix them, but i recommend just writing down whatever you want to write in whatever style you want to write it in.
Thats what i do:)

My suggestion would be to try and make your characters fun to play.
Give them some quirk or failing that provides them with character.
You can develop their history after time playing.
Making them immortal or invincible takes the fun out of it.
Make them human with faults and feelings.
When it comes to describing the action, use any viewpoint you want.
Once you have a character you can understand, everything that happens ingame has a story to go with it.
Do what you like. There's endless options available.:)

Very good Ant, very good...like with my character Drake Thastus...he thinks he's always right and is hellbent on killing anything that opposes him...and he's somewhat crazy...
But just for RP, come up with an idea for a character and expand on it. Write an appearence and where the character is from...put your mind into it...

Exactly.
If you know that you have always wanted to be someone else in real life, go ahead. That's what RP is for.

and find someone else with who u can role play here...make these two stories combined in some way...it gives more to reality...especially if those two have some kind of past

Wobbly... Your thoughts aren't worth 20 credits. Especially when everyone else's are free! xP
I personally enjoyed your story Ghost. Perhaps making the files more like a neutral log of events by an observer (supervisor, perhaps?). Or perhaps even having a few files from the log of one of the scientists who is REALLY into the project, then one that wishes to get the hell out, or one that hates what they are doing and wishes to end it.
OR, you could have it be the logs of the Ghost Squadron themselves. Each person having similar traits, but one big difference (hatred for a certain thing that none of the others have, for example... Like mercenaries! Or Bounty Hunters!).

Everyone else is getting paid far more than their thoughts are worth :P

Wobbly... I wouldn't PAY for advice on how to roleplay... But that is me, mabye other people would act differently.
Anyway, I liked it Ghost... Usualy when I wana try roleplaying I usualy either steal stuff from other games, or just use personal experience.. yes, sometimes it ISN'T always an option.. but there's my small bit of advice...
