I thought of more!
When you.....
Try to think of a good character reasoning behind everything your character does, and I include the little things (choosing to pick X drink over Y drink, standing up instead of sitting down)
Observe other RPers who have an accent and try to "copy" it so you wont mess up.
Use your own personal preferences and make it your characters preferences even though it may not make sense, you find a way. (Why they wield a sword and shield when they obviously are a better caster)
Spend hours looking at the millions of tvtropes that apply to your character, even if it's just a little bit.
Make a post that could easily been a line or two into something much longer because you don't want people to think you're a bad RPer.
