User:XxXxAnonymousxXxX/T6: Role Play Style

T6 is a role play style. Is a set of rulers that a role play should follow if they wish to be called a T6 role player. Here are a few of the following rules:

-you can only control your character (not those of others), unless you have the other person's permission. -people enjoy the "skirt" rule. "Long enough to cover the essentials, short enough to be interesting." This will mean what it does, but it usually means three or four sentences that give your fellow role players what they need to know to respond while keeping it short and sweet.

-literate to semi-lit -Story bound Role plays should be the only type which may have sexual contend to it.
 * In respect to the skirt rule you do not need to have a huge block of text if your character is doing something that can be described in two or three sentences

* No one likes someone who makes two or three posts and doesn't post forever. If you have to go on a trip, have a job or something, then inform your fellow role players so they don't sit on their butts waiting for you all day. Also, if you don't like how a role play is going, work it out with the people you're role playing with, instead of just leaving. * Another thing to avoid is creating a Mary Sue/Marty Stu. You do not want your character to be 'cliche' or unoriginal. A character who is too perfect, too powerful, without weaknesses or overburdened by a tragic past may be seen as a Mary Sue if these elements are not very well thought through or considered. http://www.onlyfiction.net/marysue2.html is a good source for consideration- this website provides a test to help one determine how original and creative a character is, compared to common Mary Sue traits. * If a role play is "yaoi" or "shounen ai," it is asking for a homosexual relationship between two men. When it is "Yuri" or "shoujo ai," it's asking for a homosexual relationship between women. These are popular concepts and if they're part of your role play, make sure new players are aware before they agree to join!
 * Never God-Mod. God-modding can refer to many things, for example: being immortal (never gets hurt or killed, dodges every blow), or taking control of another person's character.
 * Never power play. No one likes to role play with someone who is in one place, then is mystically in another without moving, or has actions completed that they have not included in their post. Power playing is also used to describe the action of controlling, injuring, killing, or otherwise manipulating another character without the player's consent, such as shooting or tripping a character. It assumes that the character's fate is yours to control, and is one of the most impolite things you can do in role play.
 * A lot of role players prefer you to have a certain standard for how much you write, and it always varies. You might aim to write three good sentences while someone else wants three good paragraphs, or vice verse.
 * Whatever you do, do not ramble! Nobody wants to read three paragraphs about minute details like the color of a dinner plate, the past of a character from birth to present day or the tone of their voice! Little details about a 'fragile ivory dinner plate' or a 'low, raspy hum' are great, but be careful; write too much and people will skim or even skip over your posts!

Chat: -Please use an approximation of real English. That means, keeps the ur, ty, idk, and other "text-speak" acronyms to a minimum! Use complete sentences and proper grammar. Also, please be thorough in your descriptions and details so that there will be no confusion. -Use brackets when out of character. Examples: [ ] { } -Use action marks when describing any actions you make. Examples: *Jumps.* ~Hugs.~ ;Shouts; .;Cries;. -Quotation marks are optional for when your character speaks. If your character is thinking, please put the thoughts in either quotations or italics. (How to make italics: Put this at the beginning.  and this at the end.  Do not include the periods. This is the result.)

Basic role playing keywords are:

* RP: Role play * OOC: Out of Character (You may also use parenthesis to show that it is you who are speaking, not your character.) * IC: In Character * Bic: Back in Character * Power playing: Which refers to trying to control other people's characters. * God modding: Changing in game rules or controlling other charters actions or reactions. * Mary Sue or Gary Stu: Creating a "Perfect character" with little or no weakness, overly dramatic or perfect past, and excellent at everything. * Literate: A very good role player who shows that they are able to properly use grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, etc. A literate role player knows when long introductions are appropriate, understands the place for short one or two sentence posts and keeps in character emotions separate from their own. * Semi-Lit: A decent role player who has an "OK" grasp of grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, etc. A Semi-Lit role player typically writes (sometimes excessively) long introductions several paragraphs in length and posts of up to a paragraph and longer. * Illiterate: A terrible role player who disregards all grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. Their spelling is usually equal to chat speak. An illiterate role player typically writes one paragraph for their intro, and around one or two sentences per post.
