LOL RP Continued

So, I'm cruisin' forums and blogs, as per usual, and on a whim I check out some other server's official forums. I end up on Scarlet Crusade (home to Phaelia and Valenna), a RP server. In one of the stickies, I see a make-shift character sheet form for the server's active role-players. I'm intrigued, so I start thinking to myself, "Hmm, how would Cathmor's sheet look?" Well, here's what happened when I started musing about that:

I like your concept of "closet RP"!

Maybe there's a little RP within me too. I'd better find out... In secrecy. It isn't really anything you go around talking aloud about being in a raiding guild on a normal PvE realm.

That form you had found seems as a great tool to start exploring the true character of Larísa. Who is she - really?

Another good jumping off point is another blog I just found, http://thatdamnrper.blogvis.com/

Her first few posts are all about character creation/formation. It's catered to a full-blown RP'er, but I'd treat it like a buffet - pick and choose the tools you like and form yourself a background!
