Roles: Standard And Beyond

Whether you play a hero, villain, barkeep or a wandering adventurer, you interact with some point with others. Think how your character may handle the situation, based on any backstory or traits that you have thought about for your persona.

Try to find a happy medium between stereotypes and taking your character too far off “center”. Also, look at your character’s past and see what avenues were there to shape your mindset. Not every rogue is a “rogue”, for instance. Don’t forget over the course of time, you can alter the path and develop/grow from events and interaction.

Difficult Roles: Try first role-playing what you may be comfortable with, then branch out as you gain confidence and test the rp “waters”. We all have to start somewhere - welcome aboard! *grin*

Playing the “Heavy”: Remember to respect others as best you can - even in difficult role-playing situations and characters. If you are playing a “Bad Guy” or a “Heavy”, you need to remember the fine line between role-playing and griefing. If you are not sure how your actions are being taken oocly, give the person a ooc whisper and check. It’s not a waste of time to make sure all is well in a high drama scene or encounter. There is good drama and bad drama - know which is which.

Most of all have fun and do your best out there!
