Tips for RPing

[Dave Masters]

Yeah, I thought I'd share a few with some of you new guys and those who are struggling.

-Sentences. I think the one thing that counts a lot is having periods or exclaimation marks in your rps. If you don't have those, you don't get very far and people will not understand what you're saying. It'll be like run-on sentences that don't need to be.

I'll admit I'm not a huge grammer freak but that's the one thing I will suggest.

-Pictures. Well, it depends on style but don't make it the whole rp. I mean looking at pictures are nice, don't get me wrong, but mostly have the description and the promo talking. It will help your rp out. FYI, pictures don't count towards anything.

-Character development. Yeah this could be a big factor. Sometimes it takes the right character to get in the right mood. Best thing to do before you go ahead and have a character, try to plan out what you want and where you want to take him. Whether he's a face or a heel or even a tweener, it's up to you where you take him. Sometimes it takes different character reps to get the right one, other times right off the bat and you got it set. One thing for sure, take your time and relax and give it your best shot.

-Atmosphere. Something I think would be, check out some Main Eventer rps to get a feel on how to be on the top of the mountain. You won't get there overnight, believe me. If you can catch on and adapt and produce top notch rps, you're gonna do great but most importantly, don't rush yourself to that level. I know a lot of people want to be at the top. I can tell you from my rping experience, you don't get there over night. It could take a couple years, months, or weeks even depending on development.

And here's a tip from your not so friendly Shane Powers.

Make sure your character's move set/wrestling style matches with your WEIGHT.

Do you really think you'll see a 280 pounder 'high fly'? No.

Do you think you'll see a 295 pounder do a missile drop kick? No!

If you weigh over 235, you will do power house moves!

If you weigh under 235, you will do HIGH flying moves.

2. randy orton wieghs over 230 pounds and does both if you didn't notice. there are lots of wrestlers that do both.

Shane I see what you mean, but don't forget that some big guys are very agile. Look at Taker with his "Old School" It's not impossable but not likely. I could see one or two high flying moves for a big guy, but no more than that.

As for my advice...description and creativity. Remember that this isn't just wrestling, but also creative writing. Not ever RP needs to be from the ring, or backstage or even in the gym. Try to get other people to see what you see in your mind as you create your RP. If you need practice writing descriptivly I have an old exercise given to me by one of my college professors. Pick a common object...say an orange. Look at the orange and write what it looks like, feels like, tatstes like and ect. but without saying what the object is. Pretend you are describing it for a space alien that wouldn't know what an orange is. If someone can tell you what the object is just by reading you description, then you're on track. If not, pick another object and try again.

Also I think pictures should have a little (Not a lot) to do with scoring. It takes a lot of time to find the right pic for an RP sometimes. I would say no change in scoring if the pic is right for that part of the RP, but if the pic is say of RVD and your character pic is is of say Batista, and you have to put (Pretend RVD is Batista) or something distracting like that or the pic doesn't fit that particular place in your RP, then points should be deducted. But that's just my opinion, not a fact.

That's my two cents for what it's worth. Hope it helps.

jakub, if you're going to cause a scene, at least raise your voice a few octaves higher. I've seen more aggressive people in Korn videos
