Hi! It's great to meet alla you. First off, my names name's Liza, you could call me that, or my username xD I'm a seasoned rper, but this is my first time on this forum. I enjoy reading and writing, role playing, listening and video games among other hobbies. Some of my interests include pirates (I love pirates), Steampunk (All the better, steampunk pirates) horror anything and Jojo's Bizzare Adventure.
That's all I can think of for the moment, hope to have a great time here!

I'm Mariko. I'm also new to this site so I'm meandering around the introductions forum. I also like steampunk pirates. There definitely needs to be more steampunk/pirate related things in the world. Do you read books/play games with those themes? I don't know of many, but I do love the movie Castle in the Sky. Pirates+flying machines = awesome.
I really love pirates, too, although I'm not as knowledgable as you and Mariko ^-^'' My first love for pirates come from One Piece and Killian from Once Upon a Time.
) I'd like to ask if you'd be willing to introduce me to roleplaying?
There are of course always different methods and styles of rping, so don't take everything I say as gospel, the important thing is to relax and have fun. There are two styles of rping I am familiar with, Script (Bob: Hello my name is bob *waves*) And Literary (Bob smiled, raising his hand in a friendly wave. "Hello, my name is bob.") I prefer the first but both are good, it will likely vary from game to game. I think good character development is an important factor, as if your character is too bland they won't be fun to play, but too over powered and it's not fun for anyone else. Try to find a balance, if your character can heal things, try to add a serious flaw, maybe she can't heal herself, or tires easily. If their very smart, maybe they aren't a good fighter, or socially awkward. What you shouldn't describe of a character can vary on the character, if they're meant to be very mysterious give only small bits of information at a time, spreading it over the roleplay. If it's just a typical highschooler you can give a little more. maybe he/she talks about her family life, be it good or bad. I think the most important tip I can give you though is don't rely on whoever is running the rp to carry the entire plot. Get your hands dirty!
