Hello all!! My name is destiny! I come from the polyvore/urstyle roleplaying so forgive me if I do some things wrong. I've seen a couple of roleplays that I might be interested in but my lack of knowledge of this website might be my downfall omg. other than my slight anxiety of moving to a new site I am super excited!

Welcome! If you need any help figuring your way around, feel free to ask. The site's pretty easy to navigate once you get the gist of things.

Welcome to the Guild! If you don't mind me asking, what are "polyvore/urstyle" Roleplaying? I've never heard of those terms before and my curiosity is certainly peaked.

polyvore was the original site, but urstyle has replaced it since it died

in general, the format is as follows:

-GM (mod) writes up "pre made characters" (like a paragraph or a few bulletpoints about the character, sometimes with provided name/age/fc). people pick which pre-made they want to write for, and multiple people can "audition" for the same character by filling out the CS

-CSes (auditions) are accompanied by "sets", aka collage-ish things to show the aesthetic and stuff of the character

-GM picks who gets to play each character after CS/audition process is over

-usually followed by a plotting period, where people message each other with ideas and char first impressions and such

-the "IC RP" itself is basically one post ("story") per event (GM provides lil blurbs about each event), accompanied by a set for each event. people would make the set and ask people to comment to include their characters and/or work out inclusions via PM beforehand. there's a greater degree of freedom re: controlling other people's characters than there is on here (you can write into your story that someone else's character said something or w/e, and obviously if the person who the character belongs to objects you change it but more often than not people don't seem to have too much of a problem)

not sure how well I explained this but happy to link examples lol

there are definitely exceptions to the general format most people have done -- i'm THAT bitch and don't really like story RP style, so my rps on there tend to be more aligned with how things on RPG usually go lol

I sort of understand, but I'm also stupid. I'll gladly take those examples though. I'm even more curious than before.

@Shinobu some pre-mades: urstyle.fashion/styles/489802

an ex of finalized plotting info: urstyle.fashion/styles/489837

some events: urstyle.fashion/styles/1267651

a story example: urstyle.fashion/styles/489812 (there was a story involving one of the characters i included posted before mine, so I incorporated what the other girl wrote for scorpius into mine. Also, since this was originally on polyvore, all the comments have been lost rip)

Damn, those aesthetics are nothing short of gorgeous! This doesn't look like a Roleplay site though?

Welcome to the Guild!

There's a PM, however automated, that's really quite helpful on the ins and outs of the site.

If you need any further "how does that work"'s answered, I'm usually available on Discord, or just send me a site PM. I'll be happy to answer any questions you got!

Good luck!
