Work on your post in Word or any kind of word processing program, save it frequently then when you are done copy and paste it into the Reply Post box.
Introduction posts
Introduction posts, is the first post you see in the topic. It should also be a post most definitely more than the minimal suggestion of writing 50 words per post.
What SHOULD be in your introduction post
1.) Surroundings: Where and When/When and Where
Be detailed!
-Where your character is specifically in the topic. Be detailed!
ex. Panda Cow stood on one of the piers in Hargeon Town.
(other examples could be: forest by a stream, in an alley surrounded by run down buildings, up in the air in the clouds, etc.)
-When mention or give clues to what time this is happening.
ex. Panda Cow stood on one of the piers in Hargeon Town. Panda frowned at the bright sun that was hurting it's eyes. In it's opinion it was far too early for the sun to be that bright.
(In this example the reader can tell that this takes place during the morning.)
-Weather say what kind of weather is going on in the topic.
ex. Panda Cow stood on one of the piers in Hargeon Town. Panda frowned at the bright sun that was hurting it's eyes. In it's opinion it was far too early for the sun to be that bright.
(It's the same example as before, because the weather IS mentioned within the previous example. It is sunny.)
2.) Character: Appearance and objective
-Thoughts say what kind of thoughts your character has on the place.
ex. Panda Cow stood on one of the piers in Hargeon Town. Panda frowned at the bright sun that was hurting it's eyes. In it's opinion it was far too early for the sun to be that bright. Despite the bright sun burning his retinas as he stood there, he still thought that Hargeon Town looked nice.
-Objective state why your character is in that place at that time. Even if it is something as simple as: S/he wanted to look around the city/forest/beach because they never been here before until now.
ex. Panda Cow stood on one of the piers in Hargeon Town. Panda frowned at the bright sun that was hurting it's eyes. In it's opinion it was far too early for the sun to be that bright. Despite the bright sun burning it's retinas as it stood there, it still thought that Hargeon Town looked nice. Panda blinked twice then shook it's head. It needed to focus! This was not the day, place or time to be taking in the sights. Panda should be getting itself prepared to persuade one of the sailor's here to help it complete it's mission...catching 50 pieces of fish. Once Panda completed that it will surely please a certain someone.
-Appearance What your character looks like in the topic presently. Please do not just state, his/her appearance is the same appearance that is seen in my avatar. Reason why is 1.) That is totally OOC (Out of character). Your avatar is NOT part of the IC (In Character) world. 2.) All RPing (Role-Playing) must be done in 3rd person.
3.) Action open for reaction
