ROLEPLAY ROLEPLAYING RP

ROLEPLAY ROLEPLAYING RP
 
Roleplaying is not merely required here at The Forsaken Lands, it is enforced.
You are all expected to develop a personality for each of your characters and
act accordingly.  Roleplaying is something that can only be bettered with a lot
of practice and here are but a few keywords that will aid you in defining your
character(s) personality:
 
Family:  Was your character an only child?  Did he/she have siblings?  If so,
how many?  What did your parents do?  How did they act?  Are they still living?
 
Early Childhood:  What was your character's youth like?  What did he/she do for
fun?  Did he/she have many friends, or was he/she a loner?
 
Likes:  What sort of things/activities does your character enjoy doing?  Maybe
your character enjoys whittling wood, and is known to pull out a chunk of wood
and carve away.  Perhaps your character enjoys nothing as much as a nice cigar.
It may be a hobby, a particular food, or even a group of people.
 
Dislikes:  What sort of things does he/she dislike?  Maybe he/she isn't fond of
onions, or maybe the smell of leather drives him/her to anger.
 
Long/Short Term Goals:  What does your character want to accomplish in the near
future?  This could be such things as being accepted into a particular clan or
cabal, or even defeating an enemy.  What about in the long run?  Does he/she
want to destroy every gnome in Aabahran, or save them all?
 
This is but a short list of examples.  Expand a bit and your character will no
longer seem to be a string of numbers and letters, but a living and breathing
person all its own.
