1) Introduction to Role Play: What is Role Playing?
Role playing involves with stories in which people interact with others actively by either responding with actions or words. Role playing also involve with people being the character in which they like. (Not being the person they are in real life.)
2) Rules of Role Playing:
Number 1 rule would always be playing fair! (immortals with no weakness isn't being fair!)
Number 2: Taking turns (Yes working together and listening to the RP leader/author would count!)
Number 3: Respect (Yes being respectful is important!)
Number 4: Creative (No stealing!)
Number 5: Stick to 1 style! (don't just go jumping around randomly! *unless you're RPing a MIXED/True Free-style *TFS for short*)
Number 6: Make things clear (Includes checking your spelling and grammar if possible because people will not like the RP or want to RP with you if they can't understand what you are saying or doing.)
3) Types of RP:
A) Casual/Chat-style/Freestyle: Almost anything can be done in a casual or chat-style RP. But most recommended would be at least 1 sentence!

Legit/Paragraph: All paragraph types must have at least 2 to 3 sentences or 1 complete sentences. Spelling and grammar is highly recommended.
c) Both can use (out of character)/[out of character] and *action*/-action-
d) Mixed/True Free-style RPs: They usually have a mixture of both Legit and Casual in them but the "rules" are the same.
That's all for guides. If anyone has any comments or suggestions or just need help, they can post here. Happy RPing!
