As many of you know, there is a vast array of words that Roleplays contain within their pages. Thus there, I shall attepmt to decypher some of these cryptic words to the normal audience.

Mary-Sue- A perfect female character.

Gary-Lue- A perfect male character.

ooc - out of character. Always denote when you are speaking in ooc! Whether it is with (( )) or as ooc: !

RP - role play. That should be obvious to anyone.

npc - non-playable character, A character that is existent in the Roleplay but is not played by any specific character.

God-moding - playing your character as though he or she can never die, never get hurt, manages to save or destroy something every time, has all knowledge, etc. You must realize that you are in a role play, not creating your own short story. Thus, each member of the role play must be allowed to be the hero/heroine, or villain/villainess at times as well

Auto-hits - An auto-hit is where when two or more characters are fighting, the attacking character doesn't give the other character a chance to block, or strike back. More specifically, I could state: || Athaele swung low while Drualt was distracted and cut off his legs.|| Unless Drault is your character, you cannot state the fate of the other character, (cutting off his legs). If the blow is deserved, and if the other role player is literate, they will recognize your swing and take injury, but the extent of the injury is up to them. (I hope this isn't confusing.)

Chat speak: Things such as "Omg" "Pwned" "u" "Ur" "Lol" And ect.

-- I will add more as I remember them. Feel free to give additions here too.

Mary Sue is “portrayed in an overly idealized way and lacks noteworthy flaws, or has unreasonably romanticized flaws. Characters labeled Mary Sues, as well as the stories they appear in, are generally seen as wish-fulfillment fantasies of the author."

Most of the time they have a lot of drama centered around them. I agree very much with the "wish-fulfillment fantasies of the author" point. That puts it very well I think. 3nodding
