Haha. Well now I got this from a guild that died but I really liked it so...here it is.
Rping levels:
====
You start out at ---> Lv. 1 = Newb/noob/newbie/etc...
Usually at this level the rper types like this: Yo wat up i like ur avi. Usually at this level the rper doesn't really move forward, they type like above and are frowned upon by a lot of people, most of the time they can't join threads because of this. A lot of the times they'll randomly post in threads insulting it or make fun of it, sometimes even post a response to something not even aware that what there doing is not needed. Other times they'll ask for donations, some times people will give them donations but a lot of the time the person is usually reported for randomly posting or spamming. Because not a lot of people are willing to help new rpers, Lv 1 rpers first experiances aren't pretty ones...
====
----> Lv 2 = Rper/Random poster/ bar patrant...
-At this level, people have learned to use these *
Either become an rper and strive to improve your posts by typing better: *I take a few steps forward and look around, keeping a grip on my sword*
(Sometimes they'll talk in first or third person view
1st person: I, my
3rd person: Usage of character name instead of using I or my...)
Of course theres still A LOT of improvement needed. But they've taken there first steps to literate rping. Or the first steps to being a complete jackass... ...In every rp you'll have that one person who pisses you off just by the style of rping they use. And if they don't follow the character format. Even when a thread creator tells them politely to alter some of their profile than they respond with an insult saying there not changing there profile and that rules were meant to be broken or some dumb s**t like that, than you have to kick their *** because they don't listen...
-Or the much hated random poster also known as the Jackass, Fu**tards, and other foul names. Usually they type horribly and go into random threads and post dumbass stuff just to annoy people, a lot of the times they'll ruin the moods of rping:
Ex. Say you and another character are in a romantic moment or something than suddenly a random poster comes out of nowhere, and does something stupid to ruin the mood like kiss one of the characters randomly or other stupid stuff. (In truth if I see any of this than that person will be banned) Rarely a random poster is actually a misguided poster wanting to rp but not really sure how to do so, so it's common courtesy first to tell ask them politely if they read everything on the front page and than ask them if they know how to rp...Than help them and instruct them on the basics of rping...
-Bar Patrant, usually they go into the Gaia commerce and just go to bar/hotel/etc threads to talk with other people. Basically there like rpers but slightly different because they prefer to talk to everyone...
===================
------> Lv. 3 = Thread creator/Rping Novice (or some other stupid name like that... X______________X )
-At this level the person knows enough to create there first threads. Usually they don't always include a good story, some rules to be followed (Usually the number of rules depends on a person's personality, some rules are unwritten because there common sense...) Usually the first threads made die after a while or don't even pick up off the ground...
-Rping Novice is what I call people who are rping in their first thread and are able to rp nearly decently, they sometimes do one liners but sometimes they do really long posts. Usually they have their character follow around other characters so they have someone to talk to and than when they get off-line and log back in they usually just place there character near another character even when it's completely immpossible
Ex. Memory posts, usually a character will do this sometimes involving another character with permission than the rping novice will place there character in the memory post without permission.
Also occasionaly they are able to understand a story but usually try to manipulate the story so it reflects around there character a little more, usually this gets the thread creator mad especially when they have a predetermined story in mind...Than theres an arguement about how someone thinks the thread should be run. Which usually ends in reporting or thread banning.
Sometimes they'll want attention so they do posts and expect people to respond to them, typing in OOC... ((Hey, anyone gonna respond to my post...?))
Sometimes especially for people in the story it will be difficult to respond to the post because they might be busy or not have enough information.
They are able to write profiles but sometimes it'll not be so good...
==========================
-------> Lv. 4 = Thread Crusader/Rping Knight/Character Sage...
-Thread Crusader is a term I like to use for someone whose able to create a thread with a predetermined story and plot, as well as smart rules, good profile setup, updates, and intros. They don't use premades but are able to get to the story in mind rather than pointlessly post, occasionally they'll have writer's block and pointlessly post to buy some time or trying to make a transition from one point to another...
-Rping Knight, they are able to join any thread they wish and acurately create a character that they can live with for the duration of the rp, sometimes they'll kill off their character when they can't rp anymore or for a certain plot twist that was asked by the Thread Crusader. The Rping Knight is about Semi-literate meaning that they do occasionally make some spelling errors but they can type accurately and really show that the character being played has emotions and can fight...
-Character Sage, a term I use for people who are able to play multiple characters and still keep up with the story, usually they can type fast and write long posts because of their many characters. There basically the same thing as Rping Knights except that they can play more than one character and not have a problem with it...
======================
---------> Lv 5 = Thread Paladin/Rping Lord Knight/Character Wizard
Close to becomming a master the Thread Paladin is able to make threads with a predetermined story and many details so as not to raise many questions, they can make premades to get to the story plot and also use made-up characters so they can still get to their goals, they are also able to let other characters find out things in the rp and let other characters be just as important as their own...
-Rping Lord Knight (RAGNAROK... ), are able to use their character in an a literate way and have absolutely no problems when it comes to rping. They understand that their character is not invincible and can be beaten by other enemies, and they don't rush into battle wherever theres a fight. They pay attention to posts and can post by themselves either until their character can get into the story or until a certain moment, they have great entrances and don't get a lame entrance like:
They are also not annoying, they don't ask to fight anyone whose in a fight and can understand between fights that can be joined and personal one on one fights. Also their character profiles are awesome!!!!! (Personally I enjoy reading awesome and detailed bios... ) There absolutely completely comftorable with their character and don't change them around because they saw an anime and want to change their character to that...
-Character Wizard, every bit as literate as an rping Lord Knight but can play as many characters as needed, wether it be 3, 7, or even 15. If required they will play as many characters as needed...
=====================
--------------> Lv. 6 = Master of rping...
This person has nearly completely mastered rping and are able to create a literate thread, follow their own rules, post awesomely, have awesome premades and profiles, able to be lenient and understanding to all rpers including lv. 1 rpers. If someones interested in rping they can instruct them with the basics, they play all the premades until they have permenant masters and can make a thread prosper even with few members...
====================
------------> Lv. 7 = Lord of the rping world...
(I haven't met many people who can reach this level...)
This person is completely literate, able to create a surviving thread/guild/etc and can accurately deal with any problem that comes up, even with plot twists. These rpers are the best of the best, they constantly come to threads and post awesome and incredibly detailed posts nearly all the time. There also on a lot of the time and know the limitations of the TOS set by the forum moderators. They can rp with one person in a thread if neccesary to make a thread survive and can recruit people to threads that they know will join instead of randomly pming people...
