Hey folks... new here.

The place looks kinda hard to get involved in. Like going to a new school or something :X

We all started shit, so don't really worry about your writing skills. With time and involvement, they'll improve drastically, you'll see.

Rower

Whats the best way to get involved?

Phil
09-15-2007, 05:52 AM
Best Start would to make a RP Profile in the Profiles Section located here.

How do I know if a name is taken or not?

Commodore
09-15-2007, 06:04 AM
It probably isn't. There are thousands of starwars names, in fact, there are sites that produce random starwars names. It probably won't be taken as long as it's not canon.

By the way welcome to the SWRP

Rower
09-15-2007, 06:08 AM
I've seen some names here that I've used, but I think it would really suck to have to look through every characters name on the site.

But I dunno, I was thinking maybe Gabriel Winters as a name. But I know Gabriel could quite possibly be taken.

It matters little if they share a first name, as many do. Hell, we have how many Jace's on this site now, four?

Green Ranger
09-15-2007, 06:22 AM
The Jace plague is getting out of hand. I suggest culling.

Rower
09-15-2007, 06:23 AM
Oh... right.

So for creating a profile, I noticed that one of the forms includes a little stat thing I guess as a reference to the characters basic abilities.

Strength:
Dexterity:
Constitution:
Intelligence:
Wisdom:
Charisma:

As the character progressed, these can change right? Such as if a characters leg gets cut off or something, or they become more adept in one area?

Green Ranger
09-15-2007, 06:25 AM
I never thought of that, but probably. Just as long as you have at least one weak stat, you won't get abused. But that's more a basic guidelin, rather than being used for anything important anyway.

Gabriel Winters is fine.

I highly suggest you read the rules. Heres some essential threads you need to read.

1.) How to make a profile --> Here. (http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=153)
2.) You probably know all of this, but "How To Roleplay" Does include some helpful stuff, so you won't feel to overwhelmed. --> Here. (http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6949)

Those two are the biggies. Helped me alot back in the day. Also, if you don't understand something, the people with Red or Green names, are always extremely helpful and are usually willing to answer any questions you have. If they can't answer your questions, Brandon Rhea knows it all. Well... him and adroit. (yeah they have red names as well.)

If you can't find any of them... well Im pretty active, so I can at least point you to the right place.

Oh and in case I forget, welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay!

*EDIT* ah. about that. seems you found the profile thread. Ignore #1 lol.

Rower
09-15-2007, 06:36 AM
I find the best way to get involved in anything, even if you suck at whatever it is, is to make friends with everybody. O_O

*EDIT* Boo Jace! I see it everywhere when it comes to star wars roleplays... booo! I like the last name Winters though.

Darth Nyne
09-15-2007, 06:40 AM
there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Jace craze, it means that someone will say is Jace coming, and I can get in on the RP before they realize I'm not the Jace they were lookin for :harhar:

Everyone should be named Jace then we could all feel involved, "Look there's my name, and there it is again, I feel so important"

Phil
09-15-2007, 06:49 AM
Atleast everyone isnt using the name "Loki". I swear that name is so over used (Well, at the sites i went to) that it would put the real Loki to shame.

Rower
09-15-2007, 06:54 AM
I like the name Loki... though it seems like a better nickname to me...

Green Ranger

For some reason the Uchiha surname is cropping up a lot. For that, Naruto must be cancelled.

Lillianne Crasse

BTW, welcome to the forums. If I can be of assistance, just pop me a PM, dear.

Rower
09-15-2007, 07:01 AM
O_O...

Right. Never liked Naruto anyway.

Anyway, say I wanted to make like a jedi character. Looks to me that I half to get trained by someone. It says that you may start out as a jedi/sith hopeful if say your uncle or whatever trains you, but you must still get trained.

But what if I didn't want to have the jedi uncle that trains the character? How do I go about getting a character to be a jedi and gain a master if he or she isn't entirely aware of his potential, or the jedi?

Lillianne Crasse
09-15-2007, 07:19 AM
Your best bet is to create a character and state that they were taken away from their parents at a year old for evaluation and training. Then say something about how you were placed within a large class with a Jedi Master leading it...think Ep. II with Yoda and the children....when your character starts the RP, you'll undergo more personal training with a Jedi Master...one on one training.

Once your character is set up, then go to the Jedi Faction area and Request a Master from the Jedi Council. There's a link where you can add your name and then a master can train you.

Here's my padawan profile if you need some suggestions: http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/index.p...t=0&start=0 (http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8774&st=0&start=0)

Welcome to SWRP. If you have any questions, then I'm sure they can be more or less answered by information publicly available. A couple of good things to note are that we're working about 3900 years before the battle of yavin, and that there are roughly 4 RP days to every 1 of our days. Any other questions then feel free to shoot me, or any of the site vets a pm and we'll be happy to help out. Peace.

Eh...don't worry they are all very very weird. This place is not really an insane asylum, for some reason or another people have this fascination with calling it one. Don't worry about anything anyone says unless it is a moderator or Admin telling you to quit doing something or to change something. Or if that person is being helpful, otherwise they are just hormonal teenagers, "scary" college kids, or drudges of the real world.

I would like to welcome you to SWRP, the place were people are extremely strange and we all share a common bond. Our love for Star Wars. (Looks to the Stars)

If you'd like some more advice, which I can tell you don't, then what you should do is this.

step one! Learn how to either blank out, or openly welcome madness/randomness
Step three! Learn how to use your own randomness to your advantage
Step five! Don't ever let anything mean or hurtful people say here (or anywhere for that matter) get to you.
Step seven! Forget the even numbers. They're for losers.
Step nine! Cook at 200 degrees for the next ten minutes, then remove and enjoy!

(top with sauces or cream for best results)
