Hello!
I recently stumbled across this site and have poked around a bit in curiosity! I've never participated in a forum-based rp and I, while very much interested, am a tad confused about how forum rp functions in general. I've been rping one-on-one or with small groups of friends for years, but never drew up the courage to go elsewhere online to rp (lol, I'm a tad shy). I also have a question or two on some character ideas, but that's for the end.
1. I apologize for how unspecific this is- but how does forum rp work? I'm assuming its just like post-by-post, but where do you start? Also:
2. Why are there different locations/sub-locations? Does the 'physical' rp have to be set in a certain location that matches where its plot occurs? If so, what happens when the characters within an rp move to a different location- does the whole 'physical' rp have to move as well?
3. How does one manage the timeline? And/or keep track of rp timelines vs what I understand to be the forum's timeline? Or, in general I suppose, how does time work here?? (I apologize if this is basic stuff, but I really don't know how this works and thank you for your patience in reading and answering my beginner-questions lol)
And now for character ideas:
1. Where can I find more information on Outliers/what is considered an Outlier ability?
2. Are Twins considered Outliers/are viable here? If the option is open, I'd love to play my twin OCs- and I was wondering if I should submit their apps together or separate?
3. Also, on another note- does anyone have any resources for information on jobs bots can have?
Thanks again and I'm looking forward to hearing back! I really do want to join, once I work out some more solid character descriptions!
