Well hello my name's Mikail. I really love rping and been doing since I was still on neopets forum. I haven't really found a place to roleplay since then soo I"m hopping this is the place. That's about it, hope I have a fun experience and met cool people.

Hi there mikailgirl,

First off, welcome to RPG! We’re glad you stopped by, and hope it's the kind of place you’d be happy to stay awhile. I’m Kiku, one of the Mods and Scholars on the site (something I’ll explain a bit more about later).

But first, about you! Glad to see you’ve decided to try us out; you might be surprised by the number of former neopets-RPers on the site. I tend to run into them with some frequency. I’d love to help you get started if you haven’t already—and there’s some general information below that should go part of the way to helping. But if there’s anything else you would like help with, especially when it comes to creating or finding RPs, please let me know. It would help also if I knew what genres you were interested in, what kind of style you prefer, or that kind of thing. That said, many users come to the site perfectly ready to jump in right away, so by all means don’t feel obligated to play the tutorial level, so to speak. :)

So, the rest of the stuff I have for you here is just really general information that I give out to everyone new. I’m hoping some of it will be useful, but in case it’s a little much or perhaps slightly confusing given the mechanics of the site, you should absolutely feel free to ask me additional questions. I’m here to help, and you should always feel comfortable asking any member of staff (those of us with the colored usernames) for assistance. Many of your fellow users are very helpful, too. Generally speaking, those of us with green names are mods, and we’re in charge of site maintenance, content regulation, and making sure things run as smoothly as possible. Dark blue names indicate that someone is a scholar, and if you have questions about writing or the minutiae of RP, character creation, or any of that awesome meat-and-potatoes stuff, those are the people to go to. The red names belong to our admins, the people in charge.

Anyway, in case you’re looking to jump right in, I advise you to look first at the Interest Checks and Roleplayers Wanted subforums. These are where you’ll find people looking to write, and if you’re interested in what they’re talking about, don’t hesitate to say so!

Please do take a quick look at our Rules; they are few, but important. If you have general questions, chances are good that someone’s asked already, and a lot of the answers can be found either in the Help section, or, sometimes, here in my Questions thread.

I realize that’s a lot of stuff, and this is really a huge site for what it does. I certainly remember being overwhelmed when I first arrived on the site, and there weren’t even as many features then as there are now. So please don’t think you have to figure it all out on your own if you don’t want to. If none of those links get you where you want to go, feel free to ask me right here in this thread, or by shooting me a PM (something you can only do when you have ~10 posts in the forum, by the way). Otherwise, exploring is a great way to learn, if that’s what you prefer.

I hope you enjoy your time on RPG, and I’m glad to have you here.

Cheers,
Kurokiku,
Moderator and Scholar
