Hey guys,
For starters I'm BJ, friends call me Jonesy, I run Marcus Kaine, I've never been in a Fed on TWG, Never RP'd, or been in an e-fed, so any tips, stories, help, or experience you guys might bestow upon me would be much appreciated, just kinda got into twg as a friend of mine was getting out and it stuck with me, so i figured I'd give this part of the game a shot too.

Well welcome to our group!
I think the biggest tip is to have some idea of the character you want to be. It doesn't have to be absolutely everything about them, but a few starting points. Good or bad, strong or weak, courageous or cowardly... When you get into a RP, try to work out how the character would react, and go from there.
Again, welcome and good luck!

Do I need to make any additions to my bio? or is it fine as is?

Seems fine to me the way it is.
The bio might wind up being something you'll add to as you go along: any story lines you get into might change the character a bit and so the bio might need updating, or you might expand on it as different situations come up.
Say for example you get in a story line where you team up with someone. You might wind up becoming tag team partners from that point - how that happened could be something to add to the bio. Likewise, if you get in a feud with someone, that could also be something to add.

Gotcha, thx again, that and the whole RP thing are my biggest concerns as of now, not sure what to expect, or what to do since it's all new to me.

Try having a look at some of the other role plays on our board here for some examples and ideas. Probably also a good idea to have a look at some of the other shows from other feds - it might be tough to follow some of them because they may have feuds that have been going for several shows, but it should help you get a feel for what people come up with and how it goes together.
Big thing to keep in mind though, is if you're doing a role play with someone else's wrestler, check with them first! Some people can get really possessive of their character, and take offense if you put words in their mouth, let alone walk in and beat them up. My recommendation there is if you have a story you want to do with someone specific, send them a private message about it. If you've got an idea that needs other people but it doesn't matter who they are, post something on here along the lines of "got an idea for ________, who wants in?" and you can sort out the details with whoever responds.
Also, if you have a look under "General Information > Michigan Wrestling Association Staff", you'll see a list of the different characters that aren't wrestlers. At the moment a few of them have some details, but not all of them. Use them in any roleplays you come up with, but try to stick to the outlines given, or to the kind of actions put up in the shows so far.
