[How To] Create a Character

[WTF RPG Staff]

Now What?

Your character has been created, now set them free into the world!

Using the Character Pool
WTF's Character Pool allows you to create and manage characters that aren't currently being used in a roleplay. This is where you can brainstorm new ideas, try out characters, push yourself to develop new styles of characters, and see what everyone else is creating. You can have up to five characters in the Pool at a time.

If someone likes your Character Pool bio, they’ll send you a PM to discuss it. To join the game with your Character Pool character, just return to the Character Pool. You can find your bios quickly by sorting by Owner, changing it to “You” - or by searching for your name or character. Once you’ve located your bio, click “Join Roleplay” and use the “Target Roleplay” section to type in the name of the game you wish to join.

And if you've made a new RP and want to find other users to play it with you? Browse through the Character Pool for some people who would fit well in your game. When you find someone interesting, just hit the Invite button and write a message to the user! Include a link to your game and ask if they would like to join in.

Posting in a Game
Once you're in a roleplay, you can actively play as your character! Just click to the main page of the RP, click on the Game Log tab and hit Make a Post. In addition to typing up a text post, you can choose your character from a list on the left side of the screen. This will ensure that everyone knows which character you're playing!
