Help:Roleplaying Guide

Overview
The following is a guide on how best to role-play on Equestria RP. It is a set of guidelines and rules, but is non-exhaustive. If you have questions about something not mentioned below or would like clarification, join the IRC and ask us.

Backstory
Equestria RP's canon was established prior to Season Two. The Discord we know never existed. Instead, due to temporal rifts in the multiverse, a form of dark energy known as the "Elements of Discord", came to Equestria. A Discord did exist, but he was dark and sinister- A being of pure evil, and was defeated in a great battle. The Mane Six from the show were not present in this battle, it was taken care of by a Resistance. The Elements of Harmony were of little use in this battle. Princess Cadence does not exist in this canon, this is due to Luna and Celestia being created by the Makers - all of these site canon were decided long before the Season 2 premiere.

Rules
See: Help:Roleplaying_Rules.

#OOC / #IC
When you need to make a post (or partial post) speaking out of character, prefix #OOC (Out of Character) to the beginning of your post so that others may know that your character is not the one speaking or acting. This should be done sparingly and only to clarify posts. To chat with other players, please use the IRC.

The prefix #IC should only be used if both you and your character are speaking/acting within the same post. #IC should not be used if there is not also an #OOC prefix elsewhere in the same post. If you are posting In Character but don't have any #OOC text, then tagging it #IC is unnecessary. "Example: Derpy says: #ooc sorry, I'll be back on later. #ic Derpy picked up the box of muffins."

Person
All role play should be done from third person limited perspective. This means you may only comment on the public actions of other characters or your own character's thoughts. You cannot control another character's thoughts, actions, or speech.

English
All posts should be made in English with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Character Creation/Audition
New characters should be interesting and engaging, not only for you, but for others as well. Before creating your character, ask yourself some simple questions. Some examples are: Who/what is my character? What is distinct about them? What do they dream of achieving? Considering questions such as these will help you create a richer, more developed character. You may also want to consider what physical traits they posses, such as color, size, and cutie mark.

Characters that already exist in the show,(eg. Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie) are known as Canon characters. After you create your own original character, or OC, and role play as them for some time, you will be permitted to audition for a canon character. The process of auditioning may be found in detail on THIS document. Here is a LIST of all available canon characters. If you see any characters missing, please inform one of the STAFF.

Good Character Traits
Some good traits that your character should have or consider having:
 * Personal goals
 * Having something to work towards will give both you and your character a sense of direction as well as something to do.
 * Derpy's life goal is to become the royal pastry chef
 * Values or moral code
 * Knowing how your character will react in situations is crucial to building a good and consistent character.
 * Derpy found a box of muffins on the counter, but after seeing a name written on the top, she returned it to its place.
 * Developed back story
 * Know where your character comes from and what has brought them to the point where you introduce them. It will affect many of the choices and interactions your character will face.
 * Derpy came from a family who only ate vegetables. She was disowned by her father after he discovered a hidden tray of muffins in her room.
 * Problems or challenges to overcome
 * All characters have flaws and personal demons that may haunt them or withhold them from growth and prosperity.
 * Derpy's stubbornness had, more than once, kept her from trying new muffin recipes, some of which had gone on to win baking competitions.

Bad Character Traits
Here are some traits you may want to avoid in your new character:
 * Mary Sue/Gary Stu syndrome
 * Perfect characters are not relatable and unlikable. Stay away from a character that everyone likes or that can never fail.
 * Everyone loves Derpy and praise her for her wonderful eyes. They all ask her for advice since she is so successfull.
 * Cliches
 * Some character ideas have been done over and over again. Try something new and challenging.
 * Derpy is an orphan with a secret power, but she is too shy and introverted to tell anyone about it.
 * Overpowered
 * Characters with too much power can intimidate other players away from role playing with you. Balance is needed in a character to make them interesting and relatable.
 * Derpy was a magic user even though she was just a pegasus. Her magic could cause everyone who ate muffins to become zombies.
