Introducing... Erhmm.... Me :)

[Del'aki]

Greetings everyone

I'm new to this so bear over with me

My "RP"name is del'aki, and I love the two brother bear movies, which is the reason
I've decided to join these forums I stumbled across a link to this forum,
while surfing for any information about a Brother Bear 2 special edition DvD. But as you can guess
I found these forums instead

About me: My real name is Kristian, and I'm a 17 year old boy, from a country smaller than most of the states in the US.
Well ofc, it's only smaller if you don't count Greenland as a part of Denmark (Yes I'm from Denmark)
I'm currently attending, a high school of advanced mathematics and science, or what we call; Teknisk Gymnasium!
Basically it's a high school, that focus' more on the scientific and mathematical fields of learning,
and less on the verbal fields.

In my spare time I do my studies, work, Pump Iron (Where the heck does this fit in with everything else ),
Play PC-Games (Although the amount of time I use on PC-Games is very Limited, I still try to play at least a few hours a week).
I also play a text-based War/Diplomacy Game, called Darkthrone.

Personally, I'm kinda shy, but definatly not a quitter. I'm a friendly person, who would rather see peaceful solutions to all problems, instead of violent ones.
Just don't steal my salmon, and I believe we can get along quite well

Now since I'm new to this kind of RP'ing, I've got a few questions.

1: Do I introduce my character here, or do I do that in the appropriate thread in the RP section, on these forums?

2: How does this RP stuff work? You just continue each others story, or do you explain the current situation from your characters point of view?

3: Do I need to introduce my character to all the ongoing adventures/Quests/Sagas? like *As Koda passes a large tree, a timid crow rages past him. As Koda curiously looks up at the tree, a large figure falls from the tree.
In one quick move Koda jumps for out of the way, barely dodging the figure. Timid Koda looks upon the figure. To his surprise he discovers that the figure is actually a mid-aged bear.* Would I need to introduce my character like that, in all the
ongoing adventures, or am I suddenly just part of the adventuring party?

4: What are the moderators/admins role on these forums, apart from upholding the rules, and managing the website?

5: What is required of the members of AAAB, apart from following the rules?

6: I'm curious, Eh?

Guess that was it.

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to all of you out there

PS. I love the style you've used on these forums

1: Do I introduce my character here, or do I do that in the appropriate thread in the RP section, on these forums?

Any character you want to introduce must be introduced in Character Introduction. However, if you do not currently have a profile available for your character but would still like to introduce them into a roleplay, existing or new, then you can create a profile later.

2: How does this RP stuff work? You just continue each others story, or do you explain the current situation from your characters point of view?

In roleplays, it is basically both continuing the story and writing about what your character thinks or does in the situation. Roleplaying is like writing a story, only it is teamwork, and a compilation of several writers. But it comes with its own set of rules that you want to follow if you don't want to upset or confuse your fellow RPers.

Such rules include do not control any one else's character other than your own. Even subtle things can be bad. Also, when introducing your character into an existing roleplay, if your character happens to have a crush on an official character, then ask the person controlling that character if it is all right if you introduce such a relationship into the story.

EDIT: I forgot something else. When roleplaying, if you attack a character, do not assume that attack will hit. Let the owner of that character be able to react to it, and they are the ones who decide whether or not the attack will hit.

3: Do I need to introduce my character to all the ongoing adventures/Quests/Sagas? like *As Koda passes a large tree, a timid crow rages past him. As Koda curiously looks up at the tree, a large figure falls from the tree.
In one quick move Koda jumps for out of the way, barely dodging the figure. Timid Koda looks upon the figure. To his surprise he discovers that the figure is actually a mid-aged bear.* Would I need to introduce my character like that, in all the
ongoing adventures, or am I suddenly just part of the adventuring party?

Wait for an opening before introducing your character. Like, if the characters happen to wander in an area they are unfamiliar with, your character could show up there, or if they go to the Salmon Run, they could meet your character there. Introducing your character at the wrong time could result in confusion amongst the RPers.

Also it is wise to read at least 10 pages of the start, and 10 pages of the most recent part of the roleplays, or if they are short, read all the pages, so you have an idea of what is going on, and therefore your introduction won't disturb the process of the roleplay itself.

4: What are the moderators/admins role on these forums, apart from upholding the rules, and managing the website?

Well, I'm not sure if I can come up with anything else, apart from that, and making sure that any fights that break out here are stopped ASAP. They are also responsible for making sure members treat other members fairly.

5: What is required of the members of AAAB, apart from following the rules?

Basically, being courteous and respectful of other members is encouraged. If you are angry at a member, don't attack them. Talking things out with them would be the best option.

Try not to OOC (Out of Character, you do this in the roleplays when you are not roleplaying in the topic) too much in the RPs; it can delay the roleplay and its progress.

6: I'm curious, Eh?

I suppose so, but it is nice that you asked these things from the start rather than waiting until it was too late. ^^

Oh and welcome to Awaken As A Bear!

[Del'aki]

Thank you... That cleared up quite some things

[Night Bear]

You're welcome. ^^ And enjoy your stay here. I feel you'll find this to be a pleasant place to be. ^^

[Truttle]

Well done NightBear! And Welcome aboard Del'aki! I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us! We're really friendly bears!

[Del'aki]

Thank you truttle

[Night Bear]

Thanks Truttle. ^^

And he's right; we're all just a bunch of friendly bears! ^^ We won't bite.

[Del'aki]

I guess only time will show, if I've made the right choice in joining AAAB

[nadine]

YAY!! We got a new member from 2007. WOO-HOO!! Welcome Kristian, mind if I called you by your real name? XD

It's always good to see new members join in. I hope you'll stay here forever with us. And yes, Night Bear and Truttle are right, we bears won't bite. We can't even hurt a fly! XD

Well...I'm mostly part deer, part bear and part human. Hehehehe don't ask. But you'll find me mostly bear here on the fourms. And of course sometimes as a human. If you wanna know where the deer part came from, go check out my fourm Elliot's Season. It's an Open Season fourm, and yes that's where the deer part came from.

Now all I can say is....welcome to our family new friend!! *hugs*

[Del'aki]

Don't really mind what you call me (as long as it ain't anything bad )

And thank you all for your warm welcomes. I'm not afraid of you biting me.

*takes two steps back*
