As you wander about this great place, the Plaza, you will inevitably come across a variety of threads that require you to Role-Play a character. But how does one begin to make up a character or know what things their character needs to survive in the RP world of the Plaza?
That’s what this thread is for. If you have any questions about your chosen race don’t hesitate ask it and if I can not answer I will find you someone who can. People of all types are welcome to work on their character development and biography here no matter what rank, race or plaza age you are at.
If anyone feels that they would like to assist others within this thread please state you interest here.
Can we all turn off our signatures please? It just keeps the thread a bit neater, and with so much already going on here, it keeps things a little more simple.
