Forum terms
IC- In character
OCC- Out of character
Double Post-

2) When someone posts something then, rather than using the "edit" button, posts right after the 1st.
OP- Overpowered (common), Original poster (common, but we go buy usernames/displaynames)
Godmodding(biggie):
-It can be killing or injuring a character without the player's permission.
-It can be when they simply can’t be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them.
-It can also be using other characters that other people RP with.
Powerplay: Make another character to be what they’re not, just to make their own character seem superior. They make others seem weak, screaming for help, when they’ve made it quite clear about their advantages and strengths. This is called power-play. It’s a strain of God-Modding, but instead of just being irritating, it’s offensive to boot.
Player A: Punches Player B
Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies at Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back.
Bio- Character bio (original character creation thread)
OC- Original Character
There are three basic different types of RP. Casual, semi-advanced, and advanced.
A casual Roleplayer would post maybe one to three sentences per post. Generally not over-the-top detailed.
A semi-advanced roleplayer might post one full paragraph. Four or six sentences with a bit more detail.
An advanced player however might write several paragraphs worth of exquisite detail in just one post.
It doesn't matter what kind of rp-er you are here. Type with good grammar, and all of your ideas will be welcomed with open arms.
I myself change between all three depending on my muse. I try to stay atleast semi-advanced though.
Muse- How interested you are in rp in the current day. If you say your muse is low, generally that means you don't have much interest in the topic.
WIP- Work in progress, used when posting a forum that isn't finished/ready for replies.
HR- High rank, a term used for cats with high ranks in OOC
Bio- Biography, what characters' applications are called.
