Welcome children. Welcome to the tutoring class for story telling.
What's story telling? Story telling, in the way of role playing, is how one writes out their post; how they write out their characters reactions, emotions, and thoughts. There are many styles to do so, each of them with their own flow and elegance. Styles are typically unique to the specific person, and copying can be difficult if you have not studied thoroughly.
But sometimes, people cannot flat out tell a good story, or make a good post. And that's what this thread is for.
Since story telling and writing is a difficult thing to learn how to do properly, here's how this class will work.
If you have struggles with story telling, please admit it so with a post, and provide a sample of your work. It can be something random off the top of your head, or a post made in an actual role play. We'll work through and address the problems you have based off of that post. Once we figure out the problem, and a solution, you will make a second post AFTERWARDS, to see how much improvement has been made, and to see if further improvement is needed.

Ah, I understand now. And I can see the struggle. That is a tricky thing to do, and a hard thing to teach, because every role play works in a different universe so naturally the characters need to be different. So if you're using the same character over and over, they do need to change in some elements (like their backround story, equipment, and maybe a bit of personality), but some elements can remain (personality, key things in your history/life). This all varies though on your role play. One thing to keep in mind is to never go over the top. Zahzi once made a Fallout role play and he actually got someone applying with a character who came out of a vault, had no combat experience what so ever, but managed to kill some of the toughest soldiers in the wasteland, then wear the armor without any proper training, and could kill anything or anyone no problem. While this IS possible in the video game, that's no where close to be realistic. So, while you're trying not to go overboard, also don't undermine yourself. Playing the weakest link is always necessarily bad but it is troublesome. As a weakling, you can't do many things yourself so others have to come into your situation and help out to keep your character alive. Once in a while in fine, if it's good enough and realistic, but all the time is annoying.
Does this help any?
