Welcome to Gaia! ::

One of the most popular methods of indicating your character is doing something (and the one I use and encourage) is to put asterisks around your text. I wanted to clarify how I would like that, ideally, to work.

Your text, when using an action like this, should be written so the stars could be replaced with your character's name (for the first one) and a period (for the last one). I'll show you an example.

*chases after Nebula*

This would be read as "Zetan chases after Nebula."

Some other examples:

*runs around in circles*

*laughs at the pitiful humans*


Here are some examples of what not to do (and why):

*Kills him* (capitalization is not needed here, since "Zetan Kills him." is incorrect)

*Zetan runs away* (No need to add your character's name; it's assumed)

*moves into the room. Zetan draws his sword* (Although this is technically correct by my definition, these should be separated into two separate actions. Try not to use punctuation inside these "action stars;" just add another set.)


I hope all this helps. If you have any questions, or wish to practice, feel free to post here.
