Listen... everyone's (generalizing
sweatdrop ) all like, "O im evel i m strunger ten u i wil rul gaia" or "I'm the best good guy out there! Dark past, light future!!!"
Well, I like to think that you should base the beginning of your role playing from yourself. My character, Icarus, is compassionate, shy, and kinda weak, but likes nature and is very smart. Guess what I'm like? Tada! Just read that sentnce explaining my character. Now, I can change and mold from that in future roleplaying in character development. But if someone is a normal kid at school, who doesn't like a few people, they really shouldn't start out as some super powerful evil genius. You have to get there through the role playing. Also, same with you good people. Good people can start out really kind, but not like a humanitarian, crime-fighting hero. Then, there's your own plot. Try to stick to it; if it changes, try to stay in the same area. You need at least 2 character flaws or weaknesses, some strengths, a rival, and
an actual story. You can't just do a crime, get thrown in prison, then come out really evil, saying that
that's a story. I would say more, but I gotta go get breakfast. Right now on my cruise it's 8 o'clock. Yes, I'm on a cruise.
Oh yes, almost forgot. If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, try to go into the story with them. Please stay away from the general, "She died! I want revenge!"
Finally,
Gaia isn't a game! It's a forum!
