-Determine your character's desired features and personality. This will judge how he or she will act toward others, giving you an outline of what your character might do or say in your next post. Adding a history will change how your character feels about certain things. War may have hardened his heart over time, he might have a fear of dogs after an attack by one, etcetera.
-Begin roleplaying by having your character speak to others in a manner that would reflect his personality properly, and stick to it. For example, if you have a character whom who've created to be evil, you can't have him walk up to somebody, waving frantically with a broad, childish smile and exclaiming, "HI!1!one!"

-When your character is speaking, put everything he says in quotation marks ("). This will set apart his or her actions from their speech.


Any other questions?

great advice.

Another thing you might think about is having a clear idea where your character is going. For example, let's say Bob was once attacked by Mr. Evil and wants revenge. Eventually something is going to happen. Sideplots like this can help you to move your characters along even when no one else is online and Rping.

"Noo...." Ribbonshrew begged, twisting violently.
"Oh yes... It is too late for that now, brother!" Heart yelled back, placing a clawed foot on his throat.
"Anything but that, please, please Heart, not again!"
"Oh, when will you learn! If I don't, Honey will surely finish us both off"
"But she smells better!!!"
Heart drew back his foot, appalled, "Are you saying I smell bad?"
Ribbon propped himself up weakly, "Like a week-old dead skunk in the sun after a downpour"
Heart glared at him.
He glared back.
The staring contest lasted for several more minutes before Heart broke the silence, "Either take this medicine or suffer in silence, I'm head'in out, Ribbon"
Ribbon pouted momentarily and then sipped from the concoction Honey had whipped up.
Heart grunted in acknowledgement of his victory and snorted, "I'm leav'in, have fun in bed"
Ribbon rolled his eyes and plopped dramatically back into his nest.





Honey stood next to small firepit in the center of camp, scratching down a piece of deerhide, oblivious to the world outside of her humming.
Heart waved to her on his way out of the cubby in the tree and she absently nodded at him.
He wasn't headed in any general direction, just out and about. Shrew had been sick for the past week and Honey had been playing nurse since, it was only the three of them there and things got boring fast. All were outcasts of their clans, the brothers were booted do to over population and family feuding, Honey because she didn't fit in. Her clan was made of bantams for the most part, she was a full sized Brahma, big for even her breed.
It was an odd grouping but it worked, minus the occasional quarrel of course.
Heart had grown restless of late though, longing for something more to life. Something was missing, not adventure, he was fed up with running around and excitement. Excitement was generally dangerous, involved something larger than them and usually hungry.


Boom. I wrote, it is pointless of course and I haven't had the chance to reread for spelling/grammatical errors, but I don't care! Take that!
They were all old characters of mine from Wc.
Ribbonshrew and Lightheart were in Moon's time.
Honey was from only a few months ago.
