question, do I need to make another account to rp or can I just use the one I have?  My rpc has nothing to do with iron man, does that even matter? 
 
oh and where should I start to rp when I finish the details on my character?

No you don't NEED to make a new account, but people will remember your characters name better if you do. Once you finish your bio you can go to the You want to RP thread and try and find someone to do a story with you or you can go to Loner's Nightclub if you want to just jump right into it.

@InnerIronMan: Well, if you're current profile is the one you want to use then, you don't have to make a new character. If he has nothing to do with the character you want to make then I suggest making a new profile, just because it is easier and less confusing to you and everyone else. You can start RPG by asking others to help you out in your first RPG, if you want I can do that.

I'd be willing to train people. I'm working with kiddevil at the moment. I'm not super experienced, but I can pass on the advice that the really awesome people gave me.

I am happy to be on a trainer list. Should make it easier to just have a list for the new guys to click on.

Training is overrated. I never had it and look how I turned out.

@hydrabob: I don't think 'training' is the accurate word for it... It's more passing on advice.

@-Eclipse-: Well I've never been trained, but the way I see it is the noob shows some of their work and the 'trainer' says "ok thats good, but if you do it like this......or if add in this...." Maybe thats just me.

@Deep_Six:  its kind of a mix depending who your trained by tbh. Training basicly just consists of outlaying rules , explaining how to expand and improve writing styles. Whilst also answering any questions people mite have about the RPG section so they can  function as part of it with as little issues as possible.

Everyone's style is different. I personally like to create a small canon rpg and freestyle for a bit. Then together we'd go over the rpg and I'd point out any standard no nos and maybe offer some helpful tips concerning various "unspoken" rules.

I tell people their material sucks.........lol
 
Really usually I'll take a post and point out areas of improvement. Whether it's sentence structure, grammar, flow, lack of emotion, lack of scene building, building to cliff hangers, or if your writing just doesn't make sense. 
Once those things are IDed then I talk over how to improve. 
Also I'm very character driven. It doesn't matter what your character does.......if no one knows who he is.
