I can see your an expert on the topic.
Being serious, though, is there anything you could tell me about it? I was reading a bit of it, and I have nothing to do, so I figured I might as well try my hand at RPing, but I dont know how I would start. I figured I would wait until the current scenario was finished, but I dont even know if that's possible.
Freeform RP is a dangerously open and addictive realm. On one hand there are no real rules and anything will fly so long as you keep it within what the group will define as reasonable, which is of course a bit precarious, as it both implies and means that there are no concrete rules, but you can still break the rules. I think RPing is best treated like acting, except there's no script for any of the characters, you have to ad lib everything, which brings me to the biggest mistake a lot of people make, you have to keep track of your character, where he is, who is he, what can he do, all that stuff, it's fine to make up your lines and actions on the fly but making up your character on the fly is mega-not-cool. For example people will be very angry with you if, say, in the middle of a fight you suddenly decide your character carries a really big fucking sword, as that's not something that could have simply gone unmentioned up to that point, you get a lot more leeway with regards to adding to and removing from your character on the fly when you deal is stuff that isn't visibly apparent like skills. Personally I like to avoid crossovers with existing canons, say, starwars or warcraft, when creating a character but we tend to put up with a lot of shit over on the RP thread, the only way you could really royally fuck up would be if you constantly picked fights with people (characters are people too, they're not all psychopaths and most really won't like you if you are) or had a grossly/blatantly overpowered character. Of course overpowered characters can sometimes be a grey area but this isn't the best time for that rant, suffice to say that as long as you keep the orbital lasers and personal armies to a minimum you won't have too many problems.
For world details and rules you'd have to talk to Umbra, and you probably shouldn't plan too much about your character until you have that info.
