Hello everyone, I don't have much experience with roleplaying but I write quite often, so hopefully I won't stick out like a sore thumb (although that's pretty inevitable). I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to include in this post, so I'll make it simple.

I like to write about things that are often considered taboo, so forgive me if I write some "controversial" things every now and then. (I'll try to keep it relatively tame, but please let me know if I take it too far .)

I've had trouble in the past when it came to writing dialogue, so I wouldn't be surprised if I took a long time thinking of what my character might say in a thread. In fact, I decided to start roleplaying because I'd hoped it would improve my capabilities.

Lastly, I'd like to create an Imperial as my first character, however, I'm unsure how to go about doing so. If anyone's willing to provide some guidance on how to create a character that feels "authentic," I'd be more than willing to receive their advice. (This one's more of a cry for help rather than a fact about myself.)

Hey there and welcome to swrp. Something to keep in mind about the content of your writing is that the site's overall rating is PG-13. So if you objectively look at your content and don't think it would fall into that category, I'd stray away or try to re-visualize your idea in more abstracts which can let you put the gist of what you're seeking in your writing and stay within the confines of the rules.

If you have any specific questions/come across something where you need some help feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll do my best to help you out.

I hope you enjoy your stay. =]

Hi! Welcome to SWRP.

Gamov gave excellent advice in this persons recent status update. You might find it helpful, although the question wasn't exactly the same as yours. I suggest looking through other profiles help inspire and guide the creation of your character. Imperials are marked with the Imperial Legion tag in the Character Profiles forum.

My profile style is a little less popular but I try to breath life into my characters by giving them a voice. If I can find a plot for them (a purpose for existing) I am much more inspired to use them than an aimless character with a simple backstory. Two of my characters are wrapped up in multiple plots now with so many paths to take I have a hard time choosing, and my newest character has two plots that I'm looking forward to starting.

Dark Child will also send you a PM with lots of good information. You should bombard him with lots of questions! That's what I did when I joined.

Welcome to the site!

Dialog can be a tricky hurdle to navigate simply because forum Roleplay is free-form in nature. Depending on the circumstances, your character might not always have the perfect comeback to another character's actions or comments. And that's perfectly okay; characters are meant to be as flawed as their creators. Lord knows mine are. lol

That said, if you need any help drafting your Imperial, which is an excellent choice for a first character by the by (I am totally not biased towards the Imperial Legion), my inbox is always open.

In any event, enjoy your say.

Welcome to SWRP!

I thought I would stick out too, but it isn't bad!

I would totally recommend making a Jedi

If you need any help don't be afraid to shoot me a PM
