All Roblox players have seen those games with the word "roleplay" in the title. Have any of you joined one of those games, only to have no idea about what's going on? This article will explain the art of roleplaying on Roblox to you.
Steps
-
Know the rules. These include:
- Don't butt into other players' roleplays. This means you should not randomly start roleplaying with someone uninvited, always ask the RP group before joining. People hate it when you enter without asking.
- Use decent spelling and grammar. This may not sound as important, but it does help. Using better spelling and grammar usually gives the impression that you're experienced, or mature; therefore making people want to roleplay with you.
- Don't god-mod. For those of you that don't know what the term "god-mod" means; god-modding is basically making yourself undefeatable, or extremely powerful in a roleplay. The act of god-modding (Or "GMing") is looked down upon, and very much hated.
-
2Identify if you want to role-play in first or third Person.
- When in the first person, you are in the view of the person within the game. You use no Quotation marks and use Asterisks to describe actions.
- When in the third person, you are an outside figure in control of your character. You use Quotation marks to describe speech and use nothing to describe action. However, you describe the actions as an outsider such as He/She did this.

Learn the signs people use. This part will help you learn this simple language. These signs include, but are not limited to:
- Parenthesis ()
- Quotation Marks "
- Asterisks *
- Hyphens -

Learn these symbols. They are usually referred to as "Roleplay Language". This Part will help you understand the simple RP language, starting with OOC.
- OOC is the most known part of RP Language; OOC stands for "Out Of Character". The situation you should use OOC is if you're saying something as yourself and not as the character you are portraying. In simpler terms, chat outside of roleplay.
- Example of OOC: "Hey, what's up?" (Lol, that was a bad introduction.) ---- This is how you use OOC.
- Another explanation, OOC is what separates the real world from the Roleplay world. OOC is by far the most important of the symbols used IRP (In Roleplay).

-
Use quotation marks. Quotation marks are non-essential parts of a roleplay, mainly used to make it better. For people who use quotation marks, they are the most used symbol of them all. Quotation marks should be used when speaking in the Roleplay, here is an example: "Hello, my name is Aeric." You don't need to use this step because it is optional
-
Learn to use asterisks, or as most people know them, "stars". This is an asterisk: *. A hyphen is simply a replacement for the asterisk, it can be used in place of it. It's simply for people who want to use - instead of *.
- Asterisks are used when performing an action in roleplay. This is why this little star is so important. Without asterisks, some people won't know if you're talking or performing an action.
- Despite the asterisk's importance, they are one of the easiest symbols to remember to use, and master.
- Here is an example of how to use an asterisk: "Whoa, what is that?" *I peek around the corner, looking at the bright light.* You can also use them to correct mistakes when you’re talking.
-
Start a roleplay of your own. Again, roleplaying can be extremely addictive and fun. You are almost guaranteed to make tons of friends. To roleplay, you don't have to stick to the specific story and personality of who you're roleplaying! Be creative, make up a new personality; Mario doesn't always have to be the hero, he can be a villain if you want him to. Don't stick to a specific story or personality because you feel you have to. No, that would be no fun. Part of the enjoyment of roleplaying is making your own story.Advertisement

Tips
- Most roleplaying games have things known as "morphs", where you can morph your character (Robloxian) into a character from the franchise you're roleplaying in. Don't feel held back by specific morphs, in most roleplay games, morphs aren't required.Thanks
- If you want to morph but aren't satisfied with the selection of morphs, make something known as a FC (Fan Character). Fan characters can be anything, ranging from simple recolors, to a complete re-design or new character.Thanks
- There are different types of games to try such as: Historical (Egyptian Kingdom RP, Kingdom Life II), High School (High School Life, ROBLOX High School), Town (Welcome to the Neighborhood of Robloxia, Pacifico), Mermaid (Mako Mermaids), story-based role-plays (Warriors) or even Anime RP games.Thanks
