All Good Roleplays should have:
If you're new to roleplaying, or Online Wrestling Federations in general, the following is designed to clarify everything to the best of my ability. If after reading this, you still have questions, contact any one of the Corporation members, and we will be glad to help you out. The main goal to keep in mind, is to have fun.
"...The Main Goal to keep in mind, is to have fun..."
Alright, we'll start at the very beginning. I'll assume you've already found an online Fed, (preferably this one), and you'd like to know how this works.
Quite simply put, you pretend to be the wrestler of your choice, (if available) and you should try to act, talk, think, and write like him/her. It often helps, to review your wrestler in action. (i.e. Browse an old tape, skim an online interview, remember something funny the wrestler said or did, etc.)
But, keep in mind that this is for FUN, and it is not your JOB. When you aren't having fun anymore, just let your Corporation member know, and schedule an appropriate parting. (It makes you seem more important, if the E-Fed has an actual ending for you, or if you qualify, a retirement. Instead of just disappearing, because you'll look like a jerk.) You should never "take-up" a hobby that you aren't having fun with, because then it becomes a chore, and it can often lead to LOTS of misunderstandings and fights. Nobody wants that.

What I used to do, to make my roleplays great, was to treat them as if they were mini-stories. They usually had a freaking-hilarious twist, or a suprise ending. My roleplays ended up being much more memorable, and helped them stand out a lot more than everyone elses. I stuck to a simple topic, which was usually whoever my opponent was, and just played around with the "story" until it was over. -Vice-Prez
"My priorities were simple. (1)Just stick to the point, and (2)stay in character. What also helped carry it along, was music, pictures, and even colors. And sometimes, if appropriate, I'd add a video, though it wasn't often because of many reasons. It takes too long to download, and most of my matches were FANTASY, so a video would be impossible to find unless it happened in real life." -Prez
Another important factor, is the design or your roleplay. Many roleplays are similar to the following example:
(Wrestler name): On (event) I will be facing (opponent) for whatever reason. I'm going to win because...blah, blah, blah (This is where your story usually kicks in)
**(wrestler name) leaves the ring(or where ever you would like your roleplay to take place)**
Roleplaying is a very weird thing to get used to, but once you get the hang if it, the belts keep rolling in and you're sweeping the Newbies (new people). If this is your first time in an Online Federation, or roleplaying in general, try it out for at least a week and see how it goes. It takes a few tries before you get the hang of it. NOBODY ever does it perfectly the first few times, it's a matter of practice. With time comes wisdom. Don't get easily discouraged, you'll be pissed if you do.
The last most important thing to keep in mind, is that this is only meant as a guide, and I highly encourage you to take your own interperations of this, by roleplaying in your own style. Also, be sure to find out how the President grades your roleplays. If he values Quality, Quantity, or both. In order to defeat your opponent, you MUST have better quality of roleplays, more in number, or both, depending, again, on how your president judges them.
