The Silver Cheshire ( Bar/Leisure Topic )
I know that this isn't the best thing to possibly put out, but having *something* has got to be better than nothing, right? So, here we go. No signup's, just make an intro post with your character. Gonna make this easy for fluidity, it must be one of your characters and their gear is limited to what you currently have access to in game.
If a fight breaks out, you are limited only by your skill in writing. For reference of what you are capable of, take your build and its three highest stats- Raccoons are AGI/STR/DEX.
There. In a fight, I should be fast, hit pretty well, and better able to hit a target than someone who has none. ( Note, the first mention is of writing ability, not characters gear or level. In RPing, that is the single deciding factor. You can 'lose' a fight and still win because of better writing overall. )
Give a brief description of your appearance, and what you are doing currently. ( That way someone has something to work with as they approach you. Ill example this in a second. )

( Raccoon; AGI/STR/DEX; Assassin )
The bar was nothing more than a hole in the wall in the northern area of the town of Morroc. Its keeper, none other than its owner Raccoon, had been cleaning for most of the past week, trying to prepare for its opening which was coming in just a few minutes.
He hurried around, trying to add finishing touches here and there; adding candles to candelabras and lighting them, trying to get the right feel and setup when it was clearly too late for any help.
Stepping back, he looked around and saw that truly, this was as good as it was going to get. The walls were clean and adorned with various paintings of creatures and religious figures, the hardwood tables were cleared of sand and waxed nicely.
The bar's counter was decently long and wide enough that nothing would fall easily, the cabinets and wall behind it stocked with all manner of drink and beverage. More than likely to carry anyones request.
Content with himself, Raccoon walked over to the heavy front door and unbarred it, opened its multiple locks and swung it aside. He covered his eyes with his hand and leaned out.
"No one in sight", he muttered to himself. "Wonderful."
He walked back behind the bar, content with himself and hoping for a busy opening day. He picked up a glass, a clean cloth, and began wiping, facing the door.
Hopefully he would have a guest soon.
( There. With this post, ive given a setting and plenty of things you can comment on and observe. Or if you prefer something short just to get started, come in, sit down and ask for a drink. The key here is to watch what has been said, so that you dont inadvertently put someone where they were 10 minutes ago as a response. [ Saying you see Raccoon lighting a candelabra, for example, when the door wasnt open yet. ] If someone makes a mistake, find a way to take it in stride and correct it, or simply ignore it if you cant figure out a way how. It happens, everyone makes mistakes; and with a group that have never RP'd before, it may happen a lot. No worries. )
( Note: Ive already made a mistake, didnt give a description of Raccoon's physical appearance. See? Its not that hard to forget something at all. Ill add it in my next post.
Note2: Far too much of that post is in the third person, I blame it on giving the setting at the same time. Shoot for staying in the first person except for maybe when describing your physical appearance.
Note3: Get in the habit of checking to see if someone else has posted first, and adapt accordingly. Lots of things to watch for, but when everyone does a good job RPing its like a beautiful dance. )
