Some shows will make roles for you, and dont require you to put in that much info when creating your role. Others give you a role almost entirely based on the description you give in your application or "audition"

To make a character you will enjoy, you have to be able to make a role that is specific enough to give you a good character, but open enough to allow your character to smoothly fit into the storyline :D

Thing to avoid #1

-Major plot points, in your description
Everyone needs a backstory, but what you should avoid is making a character's whole story before the show starts

EXAMPLE [bad role]
Tim is a musician in New York, his parents died and he loses his will to make music. When Tim joins rock records and shoots back to the top his whole life changes

The reason that role is one to avoid is because your character already has a story before the show starts, now other characters will have a difficult time interacting with you because they have no place in your story :/

EXAMPLE [Good Role]
Tim is a musician in New York, his troubled past with his parents drove him to music at a young age. Tim has begun his search for a record label to pick him up and start his musical career

This role is a good one because it gives your character a backstory, but leaves their future actions open. Does Tim get a record deal? does he become successful? who does he meet while he tries to get signed? This allows other characters to join in your story but also leaves the host room to give you exciting things to do!

Thing to avoid #2
Having a superficial character

Making roles is hard, even senior RP players have trouble sometime, so if you cannot think of a role send a mail to the host and let them know, they will be more than happy to help you! The thing you dont want to do is resort to a 1 sentence role that only deals with your characters physical traits

EXAMPLE
Jessica is a beautiful blonde with blue eyes, she likes to party.

There is really nothing that the host can do with that, most will end up having to give you some shallow role that you wont enjoy :/

If you need help with your role, the ASK for it!
