//character Creation\\
When creating a character, make sure it's a character you can play. if you can't stand a character, or the character is the total polar opposite of you, don't use them. that just doesn't make sense. Also, when chosing your character, make sure you pick a point in the anime/manga that they come from. like naruto from before or after sasuke left. that sort of thing. you don't have to be exact, but be sure you know, because characters do change over time, and people need to know at what point you're at.
If you read this Post, then in your Profile, when it says "how many cups of sugar does it take to get to the Moon?:" answer the Question "how many Yaoi pairings can you name off the top of your head?"

making a new Thread
First thing, when begining an RP Thread, you Click the 'new Thread' icon in the title bar of the Board you're RPing on. your first post should be the rules of the Thread (if they are different than the master Rules. like No Romance, or No OOC or things like that.), and after that should be the setting and general Plot (if there is one.). then your next Post should have your first Post as your character. the Subject will become the name of the Thread. so make sure you use that.
you can put a number of attachments to the title of your Thread, such as "Full" or "Literate" or "Private" if you don't put such tags on your Subject (in parenthesis by the name) then don't expect them to be headed. it is also common to put decorations around topic names such as ~* and :.:.:. this is fine, but don't overdo it, please.

Important RP terms:
Power Playing Power Playing is playing a character that has no phisical limits. if your character cannot die, or cannot be hit, it's called Power Playing. Get hit, for gosh sakes. every character takes a beating in Anime, it's cool. Believe it!
God Moding God moding is when you do something, or write something that is not yours to write. for instance, don't say you hit someone. you don't know if they saw it coming or not. instead say that you were aiming for them, or that you sent a powerful attack their way. And don't describe other's faces unless it's obvious or they themselves have already described it. this is a less severe form of God Moding, but you get the Idea.
