Alright just putting in my two gil here :3
1. What constitutes RP?
hmm this will bring about a board array of answers as everyone who rps probably learned or was taught differently.
For me however, if anyone creates a character with a background story, fears, strengths, weaknesses, goals, likes and dislikes you pretty much are set.
-isn’t- RP?
Same as the first one, but for me it\'s anything that involves a character doing or saying something that\'s ooc. Talking about irl stuff, talking about the mechanics of the game while in game, etc etc.
As far as seeing someone doing silly emotes or harassing people around the auction house. Why not? Klare would just look at those people like they were crazy and move away from them while wondering where the guards are, or ignore them completely if it\'s obvious they\'re just being an ass and not rping at all.
It all depends on how you play out your character.
2. How do we define “in character†(IC)?
My personal idea of IC is when you role play a character in reference to the surrounding area and people around you. Your character is portrayed with the personality that you intended with him/her to be with when you first created them, and will reacts to situations that\'s appropriate for that character. Course it\'s always fun to see \"light\" character development within an rp that could potentially change him/her.
What is “out of character†(OOC)?
Any references to anything outside of the game. Game mechanics talk, and characters acting out in ways that doesn\'t fit the personality that you intended them to have. Course if it\'s story related that a character suddenly changes through a certain event that would be fine.
3. What’s the difference between hardcore, casual, and freelance RP?
Hardcore- No use of ooc ever! Will even go so far as to role play injury and take forever to get back to town without help. Will not make use of the running feature unless there\'s a dire need to reach a certain place. Will have every bit of their characters history and story flushed out.
Casual- Will rp when the mood strikes them. Probably will have a group of rp friends and non-rp friends to play with. Characters will have story, but might not be as flushed out as a hardcore rper.
Freelance RP-
My take on freelance rp was people who went by their own rules of rp. May or may not be entirely accurate within the lore and doesn't associate themselves with other guilds unless they have smiler ways of role-playing.
For the hardcore, is there aproper time and place to NOT RP?
I like to think that since it\'s your time and moeny that your putting into the game to have fun with you can rp your heart out without restrictions.
I guess the only time you may want to lighten up on Hardcore rping is to help friends and new players learn how to play through ooc whisper.
4. How does one’s environment and surroundings fit into RP?
You can't have a good story without a setting, your environment is your setting and with it you can create all kinds of role play.
Example: If it\'s sunny out, Klare will probably have a good attitude where as if it was raining or cold, she\'ll be pretty miserable if not snappy.
