As far as what I consider RP I'd say its showing evidence of attempting to separate RL from the events ingame. Through actions, and speech are the main two examples, behavior doesn't have to change from RL if you're playing a character that behaves like you would IRL. I do believe actual substance is required than just emotes, some creativity has to be involved. As far as where to draw the line between IC and OOC I'd say during missions when info needs to be given on pt roles that's fine, and when things start to get close between two players and one's playin outside of their own gender it would probably be a good idea to let em know so one doesn't get too uncomfortable in a situation. While I would ask that it doesn't progress to a point where a situation like that would arise I understand it can happen. Generally however most of the LS doesn't have to know about yourself IRL in my opinion. The less they know, the more likely they are to treat you how they see you ingame, which is the essence of RP imo. As far as the hardcore vs casual RPer I'd say its the amount of effort involved in making your character a believable aspect of the story, and lore as well as the time spent devoted to it. If you are always in character trying to make your character fit in perfectly I'd call that hardcore. As far as the casual RPer I'd say someone that tries to RP at events and through conversation in LS, but when seen by people outside of the RP LS they make themselves seem as if just another player, talking about RL and such. Freelance RPers imo are ppl that have their own story but haven't found a group to call home yet, maybe they just haven't found a group that agrees w/ their storyor their way of RP. As far as the environment and surroundings I'd say everything and everyone but ppl who aren't RPing help to fit into the RP in general, both player and linkshell.

I thank you for being given the honor. I hope that I may serve in this capacity to the very best of which I am able. *bows in thanks to Castiel*
