Do any of you guys roleplay? I used to be really into it on a mafia themed Pokemon gijinka rp on tumblr, but it's since died down.
My friend and I are thinking of starting up a tribal island rp on tumblr! Would anyone be interested once it gets started?

Perhaps I will. The rp I'm starting up will still be hosted on tumblr though.

metsyHECK YES. Ahem. Roleplaying is sort of like writing a story. Except, you're not the only writer. Normally, each roleplayer (RPer) plays one character*. The RPer has control of their character's actions, words, and thoughts, if you wish to include those. You cannot control the reaction of the other RPer's character. (Which makes it different from writing a story, and sometimes more exciting!) On tumblr, each RPer makes a blog for their character, and the characters interact through reblogs. There are two popular forms of RPing. Paragraph and bracket. (Neither is right or wrong. It's just a preference.) Paragraph style is closer to how a book is written. Character's words are written in quotations marks and anything outside of it is used for actions, description of the setting, the characters emotions, etc. Bracket style is a lot less words. Words that aren't enclosed are the words spoken by the character while anything written inside the brackets [] are purely actions, usually written in a very short fashion. In both styles, anything written in ((double parentheses)) are out of character (OOC). Basically something that the RPer is saying. Ideally though, this is kept to a minimum. *Sometimes, RPers take up more than one character, sometimes to interact with more/different characters within the RP, or just because they're bored. But even then, their own characters usually don't interact.

Can we make our own? *Characters. Not locations. Or locations too? Idk.

Characters, absolutely!
Most people (that I know) find gijinka art and then create a backstory, personality, so on for that gijinka.
But if you can draw your own art, then more power to you!
As for location, you'll have to run it by me, since I've already got the island set up. If it fits in with what I've got, we can add it!

The rp has finally begun!We're starting off with a huge festival, but don't worry! You still have time to make your character, because the festival lasts all week.
