Steps to creating a Role-Playing Character:

1. Imagine someone or something that you always wanted to be, or act out.

2. Describe that character in your profile. Name, appearance, feelings, etc.

3. When you roleplay.. you use colons when your character is doing an action or movement.
Ex. ::walks quietly into the tavern, eyes studying each occupant then makes his way toward the bar::

4. When your character talks regular, like to another character, you don't need colons.
Ex. ::turns his head and looks towards the person:: How are you today?

5. You should usually start in a roleplaying chat room to see how other characters interact and to test your skills and learn to better them. Most roleplaying chat rooms are located in Member Chats under Arts and Entertainment. Usually they are either Taverns, Waterfalls, Lakes, Forests, or Inns.

6. Go and try roleplaying!
