Releasing fires of Stress

This past week has been pretty weird for me. I look back on it and it makes me feel like I was some sort of annoying whiny little child.

I was not leaving things to Him and let everything i learned blow out of proportion. I need to pick up that black book or do some reviewing since it was getting to me.^^

I'm glad it didn't really irritate any of my friends around me during this condition.

Just need to refresh. o.<

Well this journal is basically about a Role play guide I was working on since quite a while now.


The guide is formulated and summed up for the viewer to get a clear understanding on how the world of roleplay is run and given constructive examples to show what or how is done.

I added a few extra things along with some notes that i took which im glad i did. I wanted to introduce it for those who are pursuing the same career im going for.

I hope you like it :]

_____________________________

First of all, let me say that I am not an elitist when it comes to roleplaying. Many roleplayers who see themselves as skilled ones often shun away those who are not as experienced. I will not ignore less experienced roleplayers. I understand that not everyone was given the best education and may be a bit behind in their writing skills, but that is why I am here to help! With this guide, I hope to be able to help people improve their writing skills in a fun way. I may not point out one's mistakes unless asked, but I will show them an example of how much I learned through my own roleplaying when they read it. I, however, often make mistakes myself. If anyone catches one, please, please let me know. Im still kinda improving ^^;


The purpose of roleplaying:
Many people view roleplaying in different ways. Many may go by definitions they find in dictionaries. I don't know how many people share the same view about roleplaying as I do, but I will tell you anyway. The purpose of roleplaying is simply to play a role in a situation or scenario. When roleplaying with someone to make a story, you are playing the role of the character that you were given or decided to choose. Characters may be made to be just like you in real life, or they can be completely different. This is where your imagination and creativity is excercised.

Not only is roleplaying healthy for the creative and or imaginative mind, it also helps improve one's writing skills. How is that so, you ask? Proper roleplaying consists of either script or narrative form, which you will learn about later as i go on. I have noticed that many people who roleplay are ones who persue a career of writing and publishing their own books or simply get a good start in acting :3 Roleplaying is just like writing a novel or a script for a play.

Lastly, roleplaying is aslo a way of escaping the things of life for a time and relaxing in your own "fantasy world". Belive me, it helps me =_= Being a roleplayer certainly does not mean that you "have no life" like many people say. It is true, however, that people will abuse their own time and roleplaying and put everything else on hold. Ive done it before LOL but that is not the concept of roleplaying's fault. A person must learn to be responsible for their own actions and desicions and what you make of it! (quoted from a great freind xD) Continuing a roleplay for a few hours a day certainly isn't wasting your life. There are 24 hours in one day. A few hours gone, and you still have plenty of more time left in the day to enjoy your life.

So in summary, roleplaying builds creativity, imagination, writing skills, and also provides a relaxing escape into your own imaginative world or stressful lifestyle for those who deal with a lot.

How to roleplay:
-There are two basic ways to write a roleplay: Script and Narrative.
-It is best to have your character already made before you begin a roleplay.
-If using a character that is not your own(for example, if it was a character from a media, like a character from Naruto or Star Wars), you should know about the character very well and play their role properly.
-Roleplaying should never be done in first person.
-God moding should never be done.

Script: is done the same way as reading or writing a script for a skit or play.
Example: Oh, my sweet little pony has come back to me! (strokes Ponya's main joyously) You don't know how much I have missed you!:3 (nuzzles the pony's cheek)
Notice that the character's actions are placed in parenthesis while the dialogue is written without quotation marks.

Narrative: Narrative is written in the same way you would read or write a novel in a book.
Example: "I had no idea this place was so far away from home." Said Juno, pacing around carefully as he observed the old warehouse. "I wonder if anyone is here. It doesn't look like it..."
Notice that the dialogue is written in quotation marks while the character's actions are written in third person and past tense.
If there are two people having an ongoing conversation, each person's dialogue should be started on a new line.
Example: "Welcome home, Juno!" Said Juno's mother.
"Thank you." Juno replied, sitting down as soon as he entered the doorway. "It's been one long day."
"I bet it has been! You look exhausted."
"Yeah, but at least I have gotten stronger because of it."
"That is correct."
"Well, I better head to the showers. It's getting late."
"Okay, son! Enjoy yourself."

Third person uses words such as he, she, his, her, hers, and the character's name, instead of I, you, mine, my, your, and yours.

Your character should keep their uniquness and not be taken out of context. If you have given your character certain traits, stick with them.
Roleplaying already made characters that are not my own is my personal weakness. You have to know them very well. You must stick with their personality and facts about them.Don't distort their personality to where they are completely different than they should be. and it kinda sidetracks the Roleplay :/

God moding happens a lot in roleplays that involve combat. A character should have at least one kind of weakness and or flaw. =o at least one!

Urban Dictionary"God Modding" is in essence when someone's character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. And example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other RP-ers try.

-It can be killing or injuring a character without the player's express permission.
-It can be when they simply can't be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them.
-It can also be using other characters that other people RP with. In other words, if you do not RP as
Legolas, then you cannot have Legolas say anything, or do anything, without the player's express permission.

The absolute worst is when they make out another character to be what they're NOT, just to make their own character seem superior. They make others seem weak, screaming for help, when they've made it quite clear about their advantages and strengths. This is called power-play. It's a strain of God-Modding, but instead of just being irritating, it's offensive to boot.
This is a prime example of God Modding:
Player A: Punches Player B
Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies at Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back.

There have been way too many times where I have seen people actually crying and getting depressed over something that happened in a roleplay. I mean really :/ This mostly happens with RP dates and marriages.Other times it is because two roleplayers behind their characters don't get along and hate each other and decide to make a drama war. Roleplaying is FICTIONAL, not real life. You are not your character. Whatever happens between characters should be just like how someone writes a fiction book, meaning that you are not the one who is actually experiencing what your character is experienceing. Yo are writing a story, not living it in real life. A relationship between two characters is strictly between those characters and does not mean that the people behind the characters are dating. I dont know why people indulge in that fact T_T The same principle applies to characters that don't get along.

"Para" Roleplayers: roleplayers who think that they have to write one or more paragraphs in each reply.
They usually make their paragraphs by putting in WAY TO MUCH description, which overwhelms the reader. You don't have to describe EACH AND EVERY detail of the scenery and stuff of that sort. Just say what's there, and get to the point. Don't overuse your adjectives.

A lot of paragraph roleplayers say if someone does a "one liner" then they'll not reply to them ever again. Sometimes a paragraph is not ALWAYS needed to continue a story. Sometimes it's just a simple sentence. If they didn't write a whole paragraph, maybe it's not because they're not creative or are lazy.( and i got this a lot too D:) Maybe it's because a paragraph was just simply not needed at the moment.
Professional roleplayers do not call themselves "Para" or paragraph roleplayers. We just call ourselves roleplayers. Most paragraph roleplayers call other roleplayers who don't always use paragraphs "noobs". But the fact that you call yourself a "para" or paragraph roleplayer and have that typical "para" mentality makes you a noob yourself.

TL;DR:
If you are roleplaying in narrative form, use third person when writing out your character's actions and put quotes around what he/she says. Just think of it as how you would write a book. And notice how stories are written in books.

If you are roleplaying in script form, write it as if you were writing a script for a play. Put your character's actions in present tense and put them in parenthesis. Their speech does not need to be in quotes in script form.

Remember that paragraphs are not always needed in your reply. It is not good to overwhelm the reader with information, but also do not put too little or it becomes uninteresting and doesn't give the other RPer much to respond to.

Be descriptive, but dont overuse adjectives. It happens a lot which is ok. I do it myself as well at times.

If you practice using these simple tips, I can guarantee that you will become a great roleplayer.

I myself managed to learn a lot but i still have a lot more to learn. ^^; I just love roleplay and acting <D

Well hope this helps!

Ironically, I managed to find this place with some freinds that kinda helped me gather all my thoughts while a godo freind of mine got the motivation to finally make her teaser trailer LOL

I still think about it xD

Wow lol

I am a Christian, and I don't give a crap about what atheists have to say. Many tell me I should be open minded and consider that everything does not necessarily exist because of a God. open minded my ass. If they want to talk open minded, they could be open minded and consider that maybe a God DOES exist. Why is it that so many atheists scream out their beliefs and try their hardest to convert religious people? Yet they complain that Christians try to force their religion on others. I respect your beliefs, you respect mine. I don't talk crap about what you believe in, and don't talk crap about what I believe in.


Owning and using a computer is considered "having no life". Forgive me for having freetime in my day and choosing to use my computer to use for my relaxation. Sometimes I have a whole day off from the things I have to do, sometimes a few hours. If I want to spent that time on my computer then I will. During the time I use my computer, I don't need a life. Either that or I have one and it is just on pause. Besides, many things I do on the computer is important, such as my education and work. Its not al fun and games your dicks D:<

GAYS:

I don't give a crap about your sexual orientation, nor should you give a crap about mine. Why do so many gays feel the need to put their sexuality on blast and expect to be treated better? They demand gay rights and to be treated like normal people, but they themselves don't even act normal. Who else throws rainbow colored stuff everywhere and have parades and scream out their pride over their sexuality? These screaming gays want to be treated equally, then they should act like they are equal to everyone else and not blast out their sexuality to everyone. I am not speaking about gays in general, but the ones who feel the need to put their orientation on the spotlight and what not.

Grammar and or spelling errors? Will you tell me that I epically fail at life because I misspelled a few words or forgot to throw in a comma? Oh please forigve me, for I am only human, and am not perfect.. I am also sorry for the fact that you have no idea why I am not the superior of all writers and that you know not of my education in my personal life. My point is quite clear, errors or not. So I suggest you get over yor high and mighty perfecrtionist self.
