    its pretty much like story telling!
    with your characters and the world and lore. you become your character and act like them.
    you can pick your own story and personailty for your character n stuff like that.


    i only do light RP nowadays and dont RP on this game coz the lore confuses me lol
    here an example

    -Shizuka hugs kosmos;
    though usually in heavy RP and stuff people actually take the time right more in detail n stuff. XD

    At its most basic level, it simply means staying in character, saying what your character would say and doing what he/she would do, rather than talking about the game as being a game or about unrelated real-life topics.

    Some people go beyond that basic into developing extensive histories of their characters, and how they came to be where they are. (Ironically, this ends up leading some of them to abandoning the basic "staying-in-character" aspect of roleplaying, so that they can tell their stories to each other instead. There's a fair amount of overlap between roleplayers and storytellers, though, so sometimes the two playstyles are lumped together and both referred to as RP.)
