*Finally stumbles in here* Hey! I'm Starchild (Infel previously)
I have been an AIM roleplayer since around 2008. Mostly Otaku Senshi Yaoi and Yuri roleplay, but roleplay none the less. I normally played the role of my own characters as opposed to someone else's or canon characters. I usually play Sailor Mars whenever I RP a canon character, and sometimes Pluto. It's been about a year since I've actually done anything though. But, I figure, it's never too late to start.

Hey everyone! I have been a roleplayer that's been RPing on and off since 2003. I've been mostly roleplaying in World of Warcraft (don't ask why I played that game). I've been also involved in one forum's RP forum and a Twitter MLP for a few months before moving on. It's been nearly a year to get serious with roleplaying again, so I'm hoping to get back into it again.

It's been a while since I've been in an active roleplay, but I've enjoyed Sailor Moon universe games since I was in junior high school. My very first experience roleplaying was with a fan-character that I created, and I enjoyed it so much that I kept joining and participating in other Sailor Moon games. For the most part I've played and enjoyed playing non-canon characters, but I'm not opposed to representing canon characters.
During junior high, high school, and my first few years of university I was in a lot of different Sailor Moon games, because most of my friends were people I roleplayed with. Unfortunately, as I continued to study in university I had less and less time to devote to roleplaying, so I've lost touch with almost everyone I used to know. ;_; Even though I still have ideas for games I'd like to participate in, I don't have anyone to write with.
I love roleplaying because I enjoy writing a shared story. I find that there's more creativity with multiple participants, and it allows me to enjoy an element of surprise because I'm never totally sure how another writer will react.
I've participated in a few roleplaying games based on original scenarios, but the vast majority that I've been in have been Sailor Moon-based. That's my preference. n_n I really look forward to being part of a game again~

Hello there. You can refer to me by either Silence Wall or my real name (Derek). I've done some on-and-off roleplaying over the years on different message boards. I feel the benefits of roleplaying revolve around taking a character or plotline and trying to flesh out the storyline or make varied alterations that appeal to different people. It also tests out your creativity and writing skills.
I should note that I'll be on vacation from I believe Saturday to Mid-August (don't remember the exact dates), so my forum posting time will be limited. So I feel I should start being active in this forum afterwards.

Haven't RPed on here yet. Probably won't for a little while. Still get set up in a couple of other places first.
I've been an on and off RPer for nearly 10 years. I used to do a lot of WLM RPs then stopped. Then after discovering Tumblr I was RPing on and off even more. Switching fandoms and such. I tried Twitter RP, don't care for it too much. I recently got into the Sailor Moon Rp fandom on Tumblr and enjoying it quite a bit.
I also do art RPs too on deviantArt.

Art RPs? Like where you draw something and then continue an RP below it? ((I think I've seen one of those?))

Not easily that's for sure. Mostly it's you are the character and post on twitter as if you were them. If you're trying to write out actions, that's where it gets weird and hard. I saw a few people do that and it looked really awkward. Especially since it was a NSFW Rp they were doing. 140 words and Rping that was...
Though one Tumblr RP group and I tried having a connected RP thing where our Tumblr RP blog was connected to a Twitter account for the blog as well. That actually didn't turn out that bad.

I can see connecting it to a blog then have your characters do little tweets for fun or to alert other players about posts and such.

Sometimes. Most of it is two or more artists collaborate together. One, a few, or all can write out the story then they split the art work load.
Scenario 1: One sketches, another does line art, other colors, and maybe someone to do the lettering or word bubbles. In a few cases someone had to put the finish products into a Flash file for people to 'flip' through the pages on dA.
Scenario 2: Everyone is assigned 'X' number of parts to the story they need to draw out (number of pages is up to the artist).
It's usually with a group on dA to keep it more organized and have a general story idea (act as an active member check-in and challenges).

Exactly, but not many Tumblr RPers do that anymore. With some of the art RPs, they encourage having a Tumblr Ask Blog and/or have a twitter account for your OC. Nearly all art RPs are OC-based.

And the Twitter RP can be an easy starting point too if you're trying to get into the mind set of a character, but not ready to write out action role play yet.

Hi everyone! I'm Natasha, and to be honest, the only form of role playing I've ever done that came naturally to me was when I was a child with my friends at the park. You know, where you pretend that you are a Jedi or you have super powers while running around on the jungle gym? It's been a long time since then, and the most recent forms of role playing that I have done revolved around a card game called Gloom, and recently Sailor Uranus' Clue game!
Here's the summary to Gloom:
The world of Gloom is a sad and benighted place. The sky is gray, the tea is cold, and a new tragedy lies around every corner. Debt, disease, heartache, and packs of rabid flesh-eating mice—just when it seems like things can't get any worse, they do. But some say that one's reward in the afterlife is based on the misery endured in life. If so, there may yet be hope—if not in this world, then in the peace that lies beyond.
In the Gloom card game, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but simple: you want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. You'll play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to cheer your opponents' characters with marriages and other happy occasions that pile on positive points. The player with the lowest total Family Value wins.
Printed on transparent plastic cards, Gloom features an innovative design by noted RPG author Keith Baker. Multiple modifier cards can be played on top of the same character card; since the cards are transparent, elements from previously played modifier cards either show through or are obscured by those played above them. You'll immediately and easily know the worth of every character, no matter how many modifiers they have. You've got to see (through) this game to believe it!
Each of the three expansions for Gloom adds one more player, thus with all three expansions, this should be playable with seven players.
I'm hoping to learn how to become a better writer by role playing with other people. I've noticed that most story lines are full or a little too advanced for a noob like myself and would like to try creating my own story line.
Any who, hopefully I'll see everyone around!

Yay Natasha! Glad to see you here darling!
My first roleplaying was like yours! My friends and I pretended to be characters from shows when we were out playing outside.

A Night in a Candy Factory and Slumber Party would be good storylines for beginning role-player. Hi, everyone!

*Chuckles sinisterly* Gloom. I love that game. Bit depressing at times, but still love it nonetheless.
Maybe you and I can RP something on a smaller scale to help you get into RPing!
Geez. I remember RPing as a Power Ranger or a Jedi. Sometimes my classmates and I pretended we were on Legends of the Hidden Temple or even GUTS (those 90s game shows on Nickelodeon).

Ok since it happened to come up, and since at least one other person has at least heard of it (Highfive @Akiko!), I simply MUST share this with you all. Enjoy, it is a must-have game for any roleplayer!
