I'm a beginner RP and i need help

Hi!

I've got a few years of experience.

Power-playing/God-moding: They are virtually the same thing. This is when you take control of another person's own character. NPC's which are used temporarily and for the moment are alright to take control of. However, it is completely against the rules to write someone else's character's actions.

Say you are making your post and you're describing what's going on. If you are posting with someone, in your post you can't say something like "Bob (which is the other person's character) was hit by a ball." I hope you get the picture.

When in a fight scene, when two characters are fighting, you cannot control the opponent's character as well. You cannot say: "Jim (your character) went to hit Bob and hit him square in the jaw." The rule is that the person has the option whether or not they want Bob to be hit or not. So you might say something instead like this: "Jim went to hit Bob, aiming for his jaw." That way, you give them the option. That's power-playing and god-moding.

A Canon Character is an already made character. It could be a TV show character or a comic book character and etc. Generally, original role play sites (sites not based off of a movie, book, comic, or show) don't accept canon characters because they are not part of the story.

Ohhhhhhhhh, that explains a lot! Thanks for the help i understand a lot more of the rules that i've read so far. I think i have the basic picture so hopefully i will be able to join a site soon. Thanks for the help §☼߀® and Mara!
