Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

First off, allow to me to welcome you to AX. You expressed in your RP post as to be notified if there was a certain format in regards to an RP post, and I'd like to assist you, if I may. As you may have noticed in the last few pages, there is a heading featured in each post. This benefits those reading to know where each character is at and what group you are associated with. This is a tremendous help when all three groups are in three different locations doing three different agendas. This is what the heading would look like if you were, say a New Mutant.

New Mutant: Nervous rookie waiting to be let in.

The first half tells what team you're on while the other tells where you are at, or sometimes your mood.

From there you leave some space before begin your actually post. In the post, to once again benefit everyone in the guild, the only thing you should bold are the names of the other characters, so it's easier for them to know their involvement with your particular post. The exception to this rule is the mods, who bold very important announcements or events that are relevant to the change in story.

You are also welcomed to post an image of your character, if you so desire. However, this is not a requirement, so don't fret if you don't have a picture of your character you want to use. If you do, I recommend either aligning it to the right or to the left of the text, so the words can be laid beside of it.

Your dialogue could be in a different color, such as our character Narcissa Grace Lucania (Selena Lucania) does. Or the whole thing could be in a color other than black similar to Shandra (Mariana Saravan) style of posting. However, if you choose to go either way, be sure to pick out a color that is not difficult to read, for example, pink would not be appropriate to use for many have trouble reading it.

Paragraphs. They are important in this guild for this is a literate rp. A paragraph consists of two-seven sentences. And the important to remember is every bit of dialogue begins a new paragraph. Thoughts are also used in the same manner. And these are expressed in italics. See Brian Ward (kisuke0sama) as an example for this.

And remember we are here to help you if you are having trouble or have questions of any kind.

Have a pleasant day, and once again, welcome to the guild.

Ciao,
Crys
