This is just for those who are new to role playing because not everyone is use to this and we don't really want to go around fixing a lot of post.
When you Role Play your actions and thoughts/speech should be seperate or marked differently.
For Example:
I was walking through the deep Eastern Forest, though dry weather when I came across an older woman traveling towards me. She looked worn and tired, carring a large, rabbit skin, pack upon her back, so I thought it wize to help her
"Ma'am might I help you with your pack?"
She looked at me and simply smiled giving a shake of her head
"Thank you dear though I am just fine, This pack is much lighter then it seems"
The words are seperated by "" and the actions are surrounded in nothing. Of course you can also place actions in brackets of their own so long as it is seperate from your speech such as :: ** ~~ -- and so forth.
Also if you are speaking to a NPC then be sure to write their speech in a different color so people won't confuse it with your own

Another Example
A dark silhouette stood upon the street leading into town. Dark eyes that drew the night into him, making him seem more then what he was, jet black hair, fell in waves long down his back. As he walked an unknown force seemed to pull others to him like a moth to flame, There was danger etched into his face and I knew that it was wrong to go any closer; however, my footsteps slowly drew nearer to him, a slow smile curled his lips. My mind told me to back away and run though there was something else entering my mind, a voice that was calm and ancient
“Don‘t be afraid, it shall not hurt I promise you this“
My heart gave a small leap at the sound of this voice and staring up in the eyes of this man I couldn’t help but want to know what he meant. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against mine before he moved to my neck and I felt something stab into my neck suddenly. I tried to jerk away though his grasp was to tight and already I was feeling my blood drain away and darkness slowly enveloped my mind. His face blurred from my sight as me skin grew cold and the life was drained from my body. After he had his fill, he lifted me into his arms and carried me to the cemetery where he laid my lifeless body in a shallow grave.

When you are speaking out of Character you must use the following
(ooc: your message whatever here)
Though try to avoid using this too often in the role playing area for it's not part of the board and gets to be annoying when there is a place for you to talk elsewhere on the board.
