Welcome to Gaia! ::

Generally inorder to make a roleplay you must first generate ideas on what the plot should be about.
-is there a war going on
-was there any disaster that occured to shape the intro.

Thats usually what i do when i start a role play is first gather information before i start to write a quick paragraph. Most of the time i'll develop a character first so i can get a feel of what their life was like and then put them in a story that suits them.

Top example )(i'm gunna use an example of a roleplay on my site)(

There had been many mysteries of a town called Kedalshine...many people say who ever goes in the town never comes out...It was said that this one place is the devils palace and he lets no one for granted especially the human race...You see these creatures about on this work...they go and take over different kingdoms and bring some humans to the creature guy himself...

OSCELEA is in war...Demons come by to try to take the place but had no effort. A young princess who always dreamed of an adventure sits at her window looking down at the battle and can't believe her father locked her up in her room. She really wanted out of the royal family....

I had make this before my character. She was incorprited into it however i didn't have a strong knowledge of her at all.
It works either way to set up a role play. Well i hope this works fer ya.

No prob I've been doing it fer years now.
