 * Room Description:
 * RP1 is a lively, active room with a small community, and despite the name, much more than just roleplaying goes on here. Always welcoming newcomers.

Room Summary
True to its on-site description, Role Playing #1 (RP1 for short) is home to a small community of people who roleplay.

The room itself never seems to fill up to even half of its full capacity, but it is often lively and filled with numerous characters and their respective RP characters. Most of the resident RP1 users are friendly and some of them are very skilled in expressing themselves and the stories they weave with others. Stopping by the room to read up some of the scenarios written on the spot by the more advanced roleplayers is a must if you enjoy reading and letting your imagination soar with the stylish linguistic wordplay by people who just love to write.

Role Playing #1 isn't solely a roleplaying room, however; it's just one of the places allowed on Kongregate to get involved with extensive roleplays. Casual socialization occurs often in the room about various topics that people want to talk about. You just have to be there to see what people are talking about next.

Summary of Roleplaying
Here's a dictionary definition for those of you who want to get really technical (taken from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/roleplaying)

roleplay (verb) - to assume the attitudes, actions, and discourse of (another), esp. in a make-believe situation in an effort to understand a differing point of view or social interaction

In Role Playing #1 (and in Role Playing - Serious) the basic concept is to make or borrow a character and to set that character into various situations. Characters generally range from fictional to currently alive, made up on the spot to developed over a long period of time to even being borrowed from popular books, movies, animations and video games. Characters can fit into the roleplay as long as they fit into the specific genre that people are playing out. Some days people will play through a fantasy roleplay, while other days, the theme could be more sci-fi related. Some days, people will be having a casual adventure with a group of friends. On other days, there could be a serious one on one duel between two people's characters. Two types of roleplaying are portrayed in Role Playing #1 ====Rapid/Asterisk Role Playing==== This type of roleplay utilizes symbols to portray people's actions, thoughts, and out of character speech. This is the less detailed, less structured form of roleplaying that is used in Role Playing #1.

Example:


 * *Person A focuses his sniper rifle on the guard*


 * Person A: ((That's stupid, leaving a single guard out in the opening to guard the door.))


 * *Person B leads the way down the path for a frontal assault*


 * *Person C follows Person B*


 * Person C: *thinks* ~I should stay behind just in case Person A gets attacked from behind.~


 * *Person C changes his mind and stays with Person A*


 * Person B: Alright. We're setting up the charges as soon as Person A takes out that sniper.

Paragraph Role Playing
This type of roleplay is basically storytelling. Actions are described without the extra symbols and speech is in quotation marks. Out of character speech still has its own symbols to differentiate character speech and user speech, however. This is the more detailed, more structured and usually more time consuming type of role play that is used in Role Playing #1.

Example:


 * Person A takes a seat by the riverside, admiring the moonlight shining across the evening sky. Person A had never been outside of the Academy, where all of the cadets had been confined to for the entirety of their training, and so she could not afford to miss the chance to experience the open air in a free environment. She held her hair, feeling the soft nighttime breeze blow through her curly brown bangs and tasted the sweet fresh air against her lips. It felt like a pleasant change in comparison to the sterile scents that overpowered any such nature that entered the Academy.

Flare_x
Flare_x is the owner of RP-1. A good moderator who never abuses power, despite being given constant reason to do so against the ever-flowing tides of noobery smashing against RP1's tiny walls. Flare is quite obviously a weeaboo.

KanetheKnight
KanetheKnight is a guy who trolls and never role-plays. The most haughty, self-centered, arrogant prick on Kongregate. Also the funniest.

Kane is a freelance Flame-Warrior who does everything for kicks, never takes himself seriously, and somehow finds time to be the only allowed furry in RP1. Kane is the real owner of Role Playing #1.

Cuddles_
Cuddles_ is a Finnish-born Canadian male who on several occasions can be seen 'Trolling' amongst the beings of Role Playing 1. A harbringer of the room itself, joining approximately a year after it's creation, he has proclaimed himself to be a being of omnipotence and has been rumored to enjoy beating his sisters although it has been proclaimed by himself in a joking manner. He can commonly be found role-playing as his self generated persona; an omnipotent being which rules all existence and reality. He has been portrayed as a pretty cool bro whilst under-going any sort of situation ranging from Role-playing, to just screwing around amongst the room.

High-ranking member of the GTC (Global Trolling Coalition)

Irradiant
"AY, DIS IS ELEKTRIKOWL BEEST, AYKAY THA JOLTEEON 'A LESSPLAY" is something often heard uttered by this British hunk of manliness. Straight as an arrow and totally anti-furry, Irradiant is a high-ranking member of the GTC and often mics or webcams with the other denizens of RP1. This is widely accepted, because Irradiant is actually funny. Danny somehow finds himself being the only strictly heterosexual person.

Realek
A true Son of Deutschland, Realek is a Neo-Nazi who believes the superiority of the Prussian Empire and will raise the true Fifth Reich to conquer Earth under a banner of one true race. He's also a troll who gets all the internet girls and likes to blaze up on webcam, because it's legal in Germany. Founder of the GTC (Global Trolling Coalition) Realek is also known as Sill.

Also a sammich, yo~

Roxie_
Roxie is a French girl (Note, not G.I.R.L) living in Britain. She enjoys switching moods upon every entrance to RP1. She is never really sure what she thinks about the room, and truthfully, nobody cares. It is widely believed that Roxie's sex is "octopus"; the reason for which remains unknown... Roxie also webcams along with the other denizens of RP1, but she doesn't do anything of real interest aside from speak with a hilariously posh accent.

SaberThompson
Lacking overall in social skills, Saber tends to hang out in the back and scoff at funny people before popping out now and then to show off her trophies. Unfunny and uninteresting, but altogether likeable and (strangely enough) mature. Never pretending to be something she isn't, Saber is often the most-liked denizen of RP1 and widely accepted in the other Role Playing chatroom. Her presence is lightly tolerated by the GTC. She also sighs a lot. No, really.

Adinor
15 year old from Florida who likes to pretend he's other people. Knows his shit about English.

Coined the term "Contristophilia."

Aziraphale
Resident Starcraft guy, Azi is a top ranking member of the GTC (Global Trolling Coalition). Loved by all and adored by just as many, Aziraphale (a.k.a. Azi) is hated by most mods. Often trolls entire rooms with ridiculous claims and downright manufactured stupidity. Also; Chemist.
