You can find everything from information on creating a character to our specific type of werewolf, the Luperci, to general tips on writing. Take a look around! There's a lot of information here, so read thoroughly, but don't feel pressured to read it all at once! Additionally, don't feel as if you need to memorize everything here; this guide is here for a reason, and it's not going anywhere! You can come back at any time to reference things you're unsure of.

Let's start with the basics. What is roleplay? The dictionary definition of roleplay is "to assume or act out a particular role." Roleplay is, basically, assuming the form of a character, and writing as that character. It's writing, but slightly more structured than simply writing stories. In roleplay, the main plot, setting, and many other aspects of the "story" have already been set. You control your character's destiny and your character's destiny alone, but the fun part comes when you interact with other players and their characters.

Roleplayers roleplay for many different reasons. Some people use it to expand upon pre-existing writing abilities. Some people do it for the sheer joy of self-expression in an alternate personality. Some people just use it as a way to have fun with friends and enjoy the Out of Character interaction and the expanded world-view interacting with others from all across the globe can bring. Whatever your reasons, we look forward to writing with you, and we hope this guide will help you along!
