Uh, just a few small roleplays sites with friends and some chicken smoothie (don't care if you judge, it's were I got my start.) and I've been role playing for about three years now.

Huh, never heard of chicken smoothie before. But hey, sounds like you have experience! I'm curious, how did you find our site?

Ken. Sure, I have been doing this for 3 years but I'm only now starting long posts... And I literally just googled roleplays sites.

Interesting...well, happy you managed to find us! We are basically a forum centered around anime-inspired original stories and characters, meaning everyone makes their own character and can participate in different story topics. The "Getting Started" section is great for seeing more about what we do here.

For some reason I thought I saw somthing somewhere that all the roleplays were connected in a way.

For some reason I thought I saw somthing somewhere that all the roleplays were connected in a way. They do! There is one universe here, we call it the Vice Verse, and all the RPs happen on it's Earth. So if a character meets another character in one RP, and they meet again in another topic, they would recognize each other! There are many different storylines that center around specific characters and organizations, though.

No problem, happy to help! How the process usually goes is this;
1. Go to the Getting Started section and read the guide explaining our universe, and the character creation guide. There are many tips on how to create a character there to fit our universe(nothing crazy like having an alien empire, or able to blow up a city block).
2. Go to the Bios section and create your character! Basic information is needed, like who they are, what their powers are, some of their history, etc.
3. Talk with some of the members here(the chatbox at the bottom is great for this) to try and organize a topic where your character could join! We can always arrange something depending on what type of character you create.

A lot of times you can even start out with just One on Ones if you want to get cozy first! I do lots of those myself.
I definitely suggest reading the Introduction threads to get a better grasp of what's going on and what's allowed/makes sense in the universe, just as Vapo said!

I'm sorry, I just don't want to be out of place and do somthing wrong You mostly use a description, but you could find a character who vaguely represents your character to help visualize what they look like! Most of us do that with characters, then replace the picture if we actually get the character's official look drawn by an artist.

Wait... There are website artists? That's right! We sometimes commission different artists to draw our characters to get their official looks. An example would be here, where all the pictures(minus the very top one) are drawn specifically to be those character's official looks. Hate DollsWe also have art contests throughout the year, where we offer up prizes(mostly art books) if artists draw some of our characters, and the forum picks the best ones, along with a few other judges. Here are the contests if you wanted to take a look! Art Contests
