What do we want to learn in this level?
In this level, we will be working on your…
•Character depth and insight -- you will be exploring your character’s thoughts, feelings and actions
•Grammar and Spelling – we hope to cut out all grammar and spelling problems early so that you can have an easier time in the next few levels
•Fluidity – we will steer you away from dead enders and rocky sentences!
•Avoidance of Gary/Mary Sues and power playing/god modding – because these are rude and annoying
•Turn Taking – because we want you to keep your head when you move out into the world of online rping
•Post Length – because nobody likes one-liners

Before we start to role play…
We need some characters! As was preciously mentioned, one of the aims of this level is to teach you to consider every aspect of your character, thus creating a well developed character who has some sustenance to him or her. To begin with this, we at the RP school have created a basic outline that you may expand on (but not subtract from).
This is a closed thread! If you would like a thread of your own like this, please apply at The RP Schoolif it is open. If it is not, please bookmark it and wait until it has opened once more.

Upon Acceptance
When your character his reviewed by your proctor and deemed worthy, you may proceed to role play! Please keep in mind that we ARE training you for role play sites as well as those rp threads here on CS, so we will be doing this in a turn-based fashion. DO NOT STEP OUT OF TURN, as in a role play site you’re head will be ripped off if you do XD
Turns
Tris > Azora > Xannafox > RedBlueGreen
Remember…
• When your proctor posts, it will be in this colour.
• When you are talking out of character (which shouldn’t happen often), always write in between double parenthesis, or put “OOC:” in front of it.
• Use quotation marks!!!!!!!! Also, you may wish to bold everything in quotation marks, as this makes it easier to distinguish talking from everything else.
Once you’ve created your characters and have had them reviewed and approved by the proctor, you can begin your role play….
Role Play
Okay! You guys have all chosen to do a fantasy type role-play, and that is what we will be focusing on. To start you on your role play adventure, I have written up a prompt. Please continue with it, keeping in mind everything that is included in it.
Prompt:
A harsh wind blew through the trees, finding it's way into even the deepest cave. It wasn't easy being a shape-shifter, not anymore. In fact, it hadn't been for many years. They had once been as common as regular people, but now they were fading, being hunted by King Jared. The word on the street was that the kind had once been in love with a shape-shifter, and that love had gone unrequited. So now, shape-shifters were outlawed and hunted. How will you escape?

If you have any questions please feel free to send me or another proctor a pm! Also, if ever you feel like you are not able to post regularly and/or want to drop out, please pm me as well so that we may carry on without you.

Azora wrote:(I'm assuming we can go ahead and post our character forms?
Name: Rhyu Barnabé (Barnabé is his surname, and he goes simply by Rhyu)
Gender: Male
Age: 28 years old
Ethnicity: I am unsure if this roleplay is set in the real world or an alternate one. I'm just going to assume this isn't Earth, though, and will make up an ethnicity.
The people of Rhyu's homeland in the higher northern regions tend to be fine-boned. They have fine, wiry and often wavy hair that varies from dark blonde to brown, grey eyes, and fair skin, distinguishably lighter than those of the central regions. They typically have rounded faces, with high-bridged noses and eyes that are almond-shaped and narrow-set.
Hair colour: His hair is a dirty blonde colour
Eye colour: Hazel
Skin colour: Naturally fair with a light spattering of freckles, but has a slight tan now.
Height: 5 feet and seven inches, relatively short for a male of his age.
Clothing style: Rhyu dresses rather well for someone of his social class. His clothes are of pretty good quality, though still worn and few articles of clothing are without rips or stains of some sort. He usually dresses in dark brown breeks, though his shirts vary. In the practically non-existing formal occasions in his life he wears a loose, solid white tunic thats hem falls to his waist, sleeves falred in the usual style of his kin. Most times, though, he wears a dark brown tunic to help him blend in with the forest surroundings. His quiver is usually kept with him, slung over one shoulder. He always goes barefoot, not being able to afford shoes.
Hairstyle: His hair reaches the nape of his neck, and has a slight wave to it.
Frame: Rhyu has a slender frame, not very muscular. His arms are slightly more muscular than the rest of his body, strengthened from the many times drawing his longbow.
Personality: Rhyu is stubborn and can be quite impulsive. Surprisingly enough, though, he has a good temper and much patience for all except very young children. He is a bit prejudiced, holding men-folk higher in his esteem than women. He can seem to be quite prideful and needs to be taken down a notch at times, but he's still hurt from the loss of his father.
While he is not fit to be a leader -nor does he want to be one- he despises being told what to do. He loves horses, though usually is less fond towards other animals (and usually the other animals dislike him as well). He usually smells of straw and horses from the amount of time he spends caring for his mount, a light-boned sorrel stallion that belonged to his father. For personal reference: The basic colour is Sorrel - a light red chestnut. On its face is a White Face - the horse has a solid white face. On the positive side, the horse has good movement/locomotion, on the other hand, it has weak or light bones.As for spots, it is 'Flea bitten' - the horse has a white base coat that is covered with a profusion of small spots of color. Unlike a traditional appaloosa, these spots are roughly the size of a fingertip and are widely and fairly evenly dispersed across the horse. The spots can be palomino, bay or brown, liver, or black. This one is 3/4 flea bitten - horse has roughly 1/4 of its body white, generally along the belly and inside of the legs that are free from the colored spots.
Rhyu thrives on social life. He hates being alone, though he would never admit it.
Likes: Being around others, horses, being aware of what's going on in the world, daytime, thunder storms, fire.
Dislikes: Being alone, being tired, females (as a general rule), ignorance, shifters.
Strengths: He is quite resilient and has good stamina. He is skilled in archery and horsemanship. He has self-confidence, though at times this can be a weakness for him. He has relatively-good navigation skills, though these aren't always accurate.
Weaknesses: His speed his slightly less than average, and his strength is down right pathetic. He is clumsy with weapons such as swords, halberds, etc. He has troubles checking his temper when he does get angry. He has a tendency of falling into moods of nonstalgia. He has little to no foresight most of the time.
Occupation: Rhyu makes his money from selling the furs and meat from his catches in the forest.
Greatest fear: Loosing someone he's close to
Greatest wish: To be able to change the past and keep his father from going out that night.
Goals in life: Horsmanship has always been his passion, and one of Rhyu's greatest goals in life has been to join the army as a mounted horseman. This is a rather far-fetched goal, however, due to his lack of skills in sword fighting and the fact that the mounted soldiers
General Past: Rhyu was born in a large, sprawling city astride a river best known as a haven for the arts. The majority of its inhabitants are involved in the black market, and it is considered noteworthy for its yearly harvest festival. He grew under colorfully-tiled roofs and within adobe walls. He lived a peaceful life as the only child living in the house, his older brother an outrider. His father was a watchman for the nearest lord's castle. There was a relatively small skirmish one night of his watch, and he was shot down by one of the attacking small group of guerrilla shifters.
Rhyu left his mother a year before he reached manhood, travelling south towards the King's castle, in disguise as a human.
Past Things They Regret: His disrespectful manner of acting with his father before his death is his greatest regret.
Past Things They Are Happy With: He's happy that he had enough wisdom to treat his mother well before he left home. It would have torn him apart to loose his mother the way he did his father.
Family life: He is currently out of touch with his mother and brother, and his father is dead. Also see the 'general past' section for his family life during the time he lived at home.
Other: Rhyu is a human.
Picture: None )
Tris wrote:Name: Marcel "Marc" Mieville (Technically, a better shortening of Marcel would be "Marce", but to Marc, that sounds too feminine.)
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Ethnicity: Caucasian; hails from the South, near the ocean.
Hair colour: Dark reddish brown, so deep it is almost black in places.
Eye colour: A slightly lighter brown than his hair. Marcel's eyes are slightly pointed inward at the tips, toward his nose. This is a fairly common trait in shapeshifters where he lives.
Skin colour: Pale, but tans easily.
Height: Just over six feet.
Clothing style: Comfortable, and wears whatever is convenient. If a dress was the easiest thing to get a hold of, Marc would wear it.
Hairstyle: Cropped, short and sensible.
Frame: Marc is a large man, very well-muscled because he works out regularly. He has a naturally willowy build like the rest of his family, but he has made considerable effort to bulk himself up.
Personality: Strong-willed, silent, and very patient. Marcel is highly observatory and has a fantastic, photographic memory. He does not anger easily, and not much shakes him. Because of this he can seem distant or stoic, but he has emotions. He is just very good at keeping them to himself. Marc is easygoing and does not like to talk; he values actions far more than words and sees most talk as petty and useless. Marc will not speak for the sake of speaking; he reserves his words only for when he feels they are required.
Likes: Reading, his brothers, the ocean, swimming, thinking, quiet.
Dislikes: Loud people, excessive noise, cities, tomatoes, being without his family.
Strengths: Very physically strong and intimidating, loyalty to his family and close friends, observational skills.
Weaknesses: Loyal... to a fault, sometimes. Too quiet and secretive, lack of dependence on others. Stubborn.
Greatest fear: Seeing people he loves hurt.
Greatest wish: To be with his family in peace, without discrimination.
Goals in life: To find a place he can live in peace, to protect his family.
General Past: Marcel grew up in a small fishing village in a family of shapeshifters. They made their living as subsistence fishers and farmers. The village was relatively removed from the affairs of the rest of the kingdom, until Marcel's human neighbors heard of the king's decree. Marcel's family now lives in secrecy, while he himself is wandering the land for a place where they can live with humans in peace.
Past Things They Regret: Every time one of his brothers is hurt, it creates a scar in Marc's memory.
Past Things They Are Happy With: Being able to help his mother and father, having the trust bestowed on him to go out on his own to search for a land of peace.
Family life: Generally very happy and normal. Marcel's family is not rich, but money matters very little to the villagers. They are expert fishers, partially because of their particular shapeshifting abilities. Since he was born, Marc was always the man of the house, a role he held only one step below his father. He helped take care of his two younger brothers, Alan and Daniel, since they were born. He is four years older than Alan and ten years older than Daniel. Because of the smaller age gap between Alan and himself, Marcel has always been closer to Alan. Both were very saddened when Marc had to leave.
Other: Marcel, his brothers, and his father, are all bear shapeshifters. His mother has a latent shapeshifting ability because of so many species mixed into her side of the family. She does not have a strong enough "pull" in any direction to give her a definite species.
Picture: None.
