A basic how-to take part in RPG's, with some rules and guidelines..
First off, you need to find an appropriate RPG thread that you would like to take part in. No worries if Piper, Phoebe, Leo, etc have been taken...You can make your own character up!
You should put the name of your character into every post (so anyone new knows who you are) Include your status/powers in your first post ONLY. You can only play ONE character, so please choose carefully.
Spells are ALLOWED
Weapons are ALLOWED (say where you got them)
Extra powers are NOT ALLOWED
Indicate your powers in the VERY FIRST post you make, thereafter, you can NOT change them) Unless (for example) you give phoebe the power of levitation in season 2 (when she didnt have it) then you can edit your post and remove that power, Or (for example) if you are playing an RPG in season six, and you forgot to add that phoebe has empathy, you can go back and add it in
Characters name in BOLD here
(status/powers, go inside round brackets)
:: Any actions (your own character, or actions of others around you) should be displayed inside double colons, like this (NOTE: When you put the actions in colons, make sure you put a space between the beginning and the end of the sentence) ::
The Person you're character is speaking to : Stuff you wish to say
Thoughts in italics
[Any scenery changes go inside brackets like this]
OOC: anything that you wish to say "out of character" goes here
The following is a short example..
Phoebe
(charmed one/premonitions, levitation, empathy)
[at the manor]
:: leo orbs in, hesitates and then walks forward to check on wyatt ::
:: phoebe comes out of the kitchen holding her coffee mug ::
I wish he would knock first
To leo: You know, you could always knock like a normal person
:: leo looks up ::
To leo: Hes your son leo, you dont have to tiptoe round us just to see him. Sure, piper's upset with the way things are, but she understands, we all do
OOC: how was that?
If you want to start and RPG thread, please don't forget to mention when its set (i.e. which season, so we are aware of the characters and the powers available. For instance, if its in season one.. phoebe wont have recieved levitation, and paige isnt around)
The idea of the story in the opening title, here are a few examples...
"Charmed: the teen years" - indicating that the RPG would focus on the sisters in their teens
"Paige and chris: the romance begins" - indicating an RPG that would focus on a paige/chris relationship
"The adventures of wyatt" - indicating an RPG that would focus on wyatt, all grown up, in his battle against evil
When starting a new RPG thread, in your first post of your thread, please indicate which season the RPG is set in, and a little more as to what the RPG is about, it doesn't have to be long, only a couple of lines.
