Roleplaying.

As on any site there are ways to doing things. This site is no exception (Huzzah!). When it comes to roleplaying, I expect most of people who join this site know how to do it. By this I mean how to roleplay right, acting and obeying the rules that govern roleplay. But as always, there are some who do not know how. Understanding as we may be that you may be new to this, we do wish for you to roleplay right on this forum. When it comes to roleplaying right, we have a few helpful tips on the matter. They go as follow.

1. When you roleplay, using correct grammar and spelling is always a help. If you post a sentence that looks like this: "Jace lokked Mike . Rased hand then smaked him side off face" Well, as you can see that not only makes it hard to read, but is annoying as well. So try to use good grammar and spelling.

2. Keep your RPing tasteful, please. We don't want to stroll in on a topic with "R Rated" content in it. This means: No sex, no drugs, and no gruesome killings. (i.e. Something you would see in one of the Saw movies.) Things like dates are fine. Partial nudity (As long as nothing sexual ensues or is shown) is okay as well, but don't let it spur out of control.

3. You can't, and I repeat, CAN'T control someone else's character or post a hit on the foe. This is known as God-Moding and is strictly forbbiden. Example: "DJ shot one of his most powerful and volatile Cero at Jace, the third rate Shinigami that dared to challenge him. The Arrancar gave one of his content smirks from his position in the air as he watched the blast envelop his opponent, undoubtedly killing him." None of that, please.

4. When you want to say something Out of Character in one of your post, this is the way to do so: (( OOC: Hey, dude. Wanna go grab something to eat after this?)). For those who don't know, OOC means Out Of Character.

5. When you RP, please try to be as descriptive as possible. This helps to avoid one-line postings and makes you look like a better RPer and, in turn, makes us look like a better site ^^. Try to avoid postings things such as "Let's go" or "Sure thing" and then submitting.
