Alright, first of all I'm not excited about starting an RP because of how much stuff is going on IRL for me at the moment. That being said, I've decided to start a slow/long-term character development RP. What is a slow/long-term character development RP you might ask? Well, I'm glad you did! Lets take a look! Slow - Though there may be times when a number of ponies might be on at the same time and having a grand old time, that is not the expectation. A slow RP is one where you login, read, post, and move on. Come back a few hours later, after you get home from work, for a few minutes in the morning, or only on the weekends...whatever works best for you! Of course this requires a little change in your posts, leading to rule #1. Long-Term - This RP is designed to run perpetually. There is no ultimate quest or event that will end the RP, leading to rule #2. Character Development RP (C-Derp) - The most important part. The purpose of this RP is to help everypony developer their OCs through use and practice. You can write the most extensive background and bio, but without practice the character is still new and undeveloped. Try out new accents, traits, emotions, etc., that's the point. See rule #3. Rule 1). Do your best not to lock the storyline into waiting for a specific event or pony's response. Also, do not be offended if the story moves on because you weren't online. Rule 2). Don't end the RP. Plots and small storylines can come and go, but don't create epic plots that will be hard to follow with a new story. Stick to daily life for the most part. Rule 3). What happens in C-Derp stays in C-Derp. This is a playground for characters, so don't take what happens here to other RPs, unless the author decides to. That being said, post your bios below for acceptance and discussion! CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY...and don't get hurt if someone doesn't like your character idea or your suggestions. If you disagree, move on and everypony SMILE! ~~~~~~~~~~ Name: Mare/Stallion/Colt/Philly: Earth/Unicorn/Pegasus/Alicorn: Bio: ~~~~~~~~~~ (Obviously feel free to edit your bio as you learn more about your character!)
