{ ☽ Here are a few guidelines as a simple reminder on roleplay etiquette:
--Don't make your character the center of attention ALL the time.
--Your character doesn't need to be suicidal to get attention.
--Just because your characters feelings get hurt or they're lonely doesn't mean they need to commit suicide.
--Do try to make your characters different in personality and ability. No one wants to deal with the same boring, mild-tempered character; likewise with the people who always have something to say or draw attention to themselves.
--Everyone expresses emotion in one way or another, your character needs to do the same, positive or negative.
-- Stay in character – if you're playing a male keep them masculine to some degree not females with a p***s.
--No all powerful characters. All people have weaknesses and it's frustrating to the other person whose dealing with your indestructible character.
--No taking control of your partners character
--Spell and punctuate correctly and according to your roleplay level. Personally, I think that even a semi literate can capitalize the “I” personal pronoun. Wanna know how? Shift and the 'I' key. Seriously. Check it out.
-- Say nay nay to dead end posts where you don't give your partner anything to go on. Semi lits and Advanced alike make this mistake, so be careful. Advanced rp'ers sometimes put so much detail in their posts that they haven't given their partner something worth typing back while semi lits tend to not post enough.
--Just because there's dialog doesn't mean you shouldn't describe anything. There is always something to describe, even if its just your characters feelings, thoughts, and so forth.
--Do try to be unique with your characters. If you don't know a character very well, go read their profile. You could learn something.
--Don't be afraid to put your characters in different situations that they otherwise wouldn't be able to work in.
Ie: Heartless doctor working with children
Super nice person in a war and instead of crying about it, they rise to the occasion
-- Don't be afraid of character development in a roleplay or otherwise, it does happen.
--Keep the character realistically in check with Bleach. No one is ever going to compare to Aizen. End discussion.
--Keep the character's story unique. There are too many characters with sob story backgrounds and who are coincidently suicidal or have a hidden agenda.
--Not every person in the world is 100 lbs with incredible eyes and perfect skin. ☾ }
