Since I've only been here for 2 days, and have already had 3 people ask me for RP help, I've decided to make a guide.
If this guide isn't enough, feel free to come to me or KJ (Keith).
1) Details - If you are doing, for example, an in ring segment, don't just make your entrance say "Chris Legend makes his way to the ring." Use vivid details, describe your surroundings, what are you wearing, facial expressions, the fans. Another good thing to do is to listen to your entrance music while writing it. Try and visualize your entrance in your head. Once you have it pictured, just describe those pictures with words.
2) Grammar - Use good grammar and punctuation. If you have trouble spelling, I recommend downloading Mozilla Firefox, since it has a built in spell checker.
3) Climax - Make your RPs like a movie. Start off slow, cool, and calm, and slowly work your way up to a dramatic climax. If you are building suspense, then STOP at the climax. If you aren't trying to build suspense, the work your way back down again.
4) Character - Not every RP has to be totally in character. If you are a face, don't be afraid to try some heel lines, or vice-versa.
5) Godmodding - Godmodding is when you have a RP where you attack another wrestler, and they don't fight back. This is okay sometimes, but most of the time, it's a no-no. Also, make sure that you have the permission of the person to use them in a RP.
6) Continuing - Not all RPs are meant to be added on to. If you don't want anyone to add on to your RPs, put a closing statement at the end, like "The screen fades to black", or something similar.
I'll be adding more onto this, as I think of it.
