What exactly is roleplaying? You probably know, but if you didn't know, you are now in the right place.
Roleplaying is like everyone, together, is writing a story. But, there is a catch.
Everyone in the story must join with a form. Here is an example.
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Description:
Personality:
Other:
Now, everything on the form MUST be filled out, unless the author of the roleplay says otherwise. Forms
There are also different levels of a roleplay: there is regular, where you an post something almost as short as you want, something like this.
David walked down the beach carrying his surfboard. He smiled and started running down the beach towards Abigail.
That would be an average regular roleplaying post.
*****************************
For semi-elite, it is a little harder. For this type of roleplaying, you have to take more time for you post, and make it a small paragraph or something like this:
Akela swung around his head as something small, and bright fell out of the sky. His paws crumpled dead leaves and gently placed his paws on them, making his way to the small object. When he got there, he found that it was smooth, in a sphere shape, and it was clear, so he could see through it... ect.
See, that would be a good semi-elite post. As long as it had an ending* and followed the roleplaying rules.

Now, an Elite post, has to be a big, good sized paragraph or more. A lot of people take up Elite roleplays because they want a challenge, and are ready to test their writing skills. Here is an example:

That is an amazing Elite post! As you can see, to make it longer, Orchid had her character think to herself, do things by herself, and it seemed to work! So, that is a tip for Elite role-playing; sometimes a moment where your character thinks to themself is good, it gives your post versatility.
*an end to the post ends that train of thought. You can't just hang your post when your character is in mid jump, or stalking a mouse! Sometimes it helps to think of that character acting out what he/she is doing.

A slender teen emerged from the small gher just as the sun was rising. Her dark brown hair shone in the sun as she pulled it out of her one braid down her back. A mucker like her should wear it like that, but seeing as though no one was around and her family...gone, she let it fall loose down on her back. It was straight, yes, and smooth. 'Without any others to take care off, now that papa is gone,' the girl thought. 'I do not have to cook as much, I can take care of myself more'. She sighed right after thinking that, and then murmered while facing the sacred mountain, "Forgive me, ancestors, for that thought coming into my mind."
The girl walked over to her palomino mare, Goldenflower. She stroked her mane and untied the horse from the tree. "Goldenflower," the girl murmered. "You're the best horse in the whole wide world." She buried her head into the mare's neck, laughing. More of a cry than a laugh, though. Her papa died only a month ago, in the cold season of winter. He had gotten a fever, and even with Alusi's healing songs and magic, nothing could be done to heal her father. Her mother had died giving birth, her two brothers had left a long while ago, when she was only three. The city gates were visible from where she was. Today the mucker would find work, she decided. She couldn't survive a harsh summer alone!
Mounting Goldenflower, she started off into a trot but broke into a canter. The wind tossed her hair around, all over her face. She scanned the fields as she rode. Only two trees in that whole field, it seemed. Alusi laughed and laughed, but soon- soon, Goldenflower got spooked. Who knows what spooked her? However, that's not quite the matter here. Goldenflower bucked and threw Alusi to the ground. She fell with a thud and Goldenflower trotted back to her. It almost seemed like a whimpering sound came from the mare.
