@cyberwarrior:

The purpose of RPG in here is much like the other role playing games in video games to give you an example, you create your character and you interact with others or fight except instead of doing it with a gamepad you write. It's basically interactive fan-fiction except with original characters.

@cyberwarrior Vengeance pretty much covered it above.

Its a writing section where people write with and against each other for various reasons. If your looking for training/practise look into this thread and somebody will help you if your intrested in joining the section as a writer.

To read or to participate? If you want to participate first you would have to create a character.

@dark_vengeance_: Well, read perhaps. I don't have a chararcter to the moment... You can't use existing characters, right?

You can base your character off of an existing franchise, and most people do. Just make them distinct enough from the original to make them stand out and you should be fine.

Alot of times from my experience with creating characters, is that I take an idea from somewhere and I make it my own.
