forum An (fairly) experienced roleplayer looking to help newbies (or RP with some not-so-newbies, too!)

Honestly, I'm leaning more towards the psych ward one…

Okay, awesome! Alright, so let's see… what all do we need to establish/plan before we can begin?

Well, I guess do we want npcs? they might be helpful to move the rp along…

I've roleplayed on a lot of different sites for years, but I don't actually know what an npc is. X'D

xd i've only heard the term used a couple times, basically it stands for "non-player character" i think

How does that work? Is it like… where neither of us really "have" the character so they just go back and forth between us? Or..?

i've always played it where it's kinda of like that and you can make that character talk and stuff and whatnot, it's like for example in this rp we might have an npc that's like a nurse , you get the gist of it?

Yeah, sure!! That sounds perfectly fine. 😁

oki

I wouldn't mind one more person joining in, but I'm going to leave that up to my good friend, @izzyandgrace, because I know sometimes roleplays with more people can get difficult, so it's just whatever they prefer 😊

@GameMaster but if it's okay with them it's okay with me

@Morri hey ty for that! I'm totally fine if @GameMaster wants to join tbh :)

I'm not sure if I can but I'll check some stuff out.

alrighty

You can start without me

oki

@izzyandgrace
Okay!! You're very welcome. just wanted to make sure. ^u^ Alright, so, should we begin making the characters? You think we should each have a couple of psych patients and maybe a doctor, and then a slew of npcs?

@GameMaster
Just hop in if/when you feel like it! ^-^

Perhaps… (though I do feel the need to say this one bit - a while ago I learned that in reality, nurses do a lot of the work that shows and movies portray doctors doing on tv, they don't give the nurses enough credit…)

I've known that for a while. Actual doctors don't typically do much, but generally by doctors I mean therapists in this sense.

Ah gotcha. that makes sense now

So. On to making characters, then? Is your main going to be male or female? Generally, my mains are males.

Heh My mains are females usually, but I can play males, I'd just have to make up another character haha

It'll work out great with you having a female and me having a male. Whether we do ships or not, I don't mind, but, romance aside, I've always been a big fan of male & female friendships.
