What is RP?

An RP is a role play. I ran across the idea and thought it would be neat for improving writing skills and making friends. Anyhow, you create a character to go along with the theme and then build on to the story (as far as I can tell). So, this ought to be interesting....

So I am a little confused on what RP is. So if I wanted to take part in The Hunger Games RP, I make a character, and then use them in The Hunger Games world? I could be totally off. But I am not sure. Can someone explain?

Role-play in general is taking on roles of any character other than yourself.

In this group you can request the world, and if anyone else wants to role-play in it then make your character and enjoy. However if there’s already an existing world you want to character for make it once it’s approved you can use that character in that world.

It’s basically like writing a novel, but you’re not in control of the world necessarily more just your character.

Typically role-play can be what is called Cannon, or original characters. And the other one is homemade characters.

Does that help?

Yes, thank you!
