I am sorry for not appearing for so long. This is another post, and this could very well be my last for a while.
This is a guide to tell if someone is roleplaying. I am not against roleplayer, I am simply making this guide because many seem to accuse wrongly of whoever is a roleplayer or not. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT TEARS MANY FRIENDSHIPS APART.
---------------------------------------------------Signs of a Roleplayer---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Talks about BS about themselves and promotes themselves to what I like to call the 'God' status. Saying you can rip through holes in the universe and all that BS.
2. Constantly uses chat. Chat on this site is a roleplaying chat basically. If you are a roleplayer and chat constantly, here is my advice to you. Enjoy life while it lasts. 3. Changes stories constantly. Say, there was this Vampire. Then they say they're a werewolf. Then Hybrid.
4. Sometimes a Hybrid may seem authentic, but if they claim to be a 'werewolf-vampire' there is no such thing. Werewolves, or more accurately wolf therians cannot be half anything.

5. Not knowing fact and confusing it with fiction. Lore is sometimes accurate being, based on previous real account twisted by time.
6. Improper Grammar. This is becoming better among everyone, but it is still simple to see poseurs, and who is true Otherkin.
7. If they claimed to be 'bitten.'

8. Another rule is very simple. Look at their name and generally if they are rping, then they will have an misspelled name.(May or may not apply to variations of names.)
Just because someone fits these guidelines, doesn't mean they are roleplaying.
They might actually not be.
