I would love help

Welcome Loran!

I'm not sure what you're needing help with, but here's some general info about RPing and how to do it here:

When getting started with RP, I really recommend this primer on basic RP concepts as a starting place. Even if you have some RP experience, it can be a nice way to see what the general norm is here.

We also had some community discussions awhile back about how to improve at RP.. I boiled them down into interesting articles for those who are interested. Here's a selection of my favorite ones:

Writing for RP
The responsibility of ALL RPers (getting this one right will generally make people sing your praises!)
And if you want to put a slightly more advanced technique in your back pocket for now and again: Using dice to enhance RP

When it comes to starting RPs, most people start in the Looking For RP forum to find some other players. There's also a search tool that will help you find what you're looking for within that forum - click "Find RP" in the top menu, then "join game" then scroll to the bottom to adjust your preferences for game types. If you want more info on using that search tool, here's a handy help article.

If you end up joining someone else's RP, they'll let you know the details about how to join in.

If you're starting up your own RP, you have a few choices about how to proceed once you've found a RP partner or two.

1. You can just create a RP topic on one of our 3 public RP forums: General Roleplay, Sci-Fi Roleplay and Fantasy RP. Keep in mind that because these areas are public, you'll have to make sure the RP stays in the PG-13ish range.
2. You can choose to RP via private messages, and just create a new conversation thread with all your RP partners as recipients. Since this is private, the only rules that tend to apply are not to do OOC illegal things and be nice to your RP partners OOC.
3. If you're going to have a whole lot of people in your RP, or the RP setting is going to be very strictly defined and you want to have a place to store world building information alongside it, you might consider starting your own group. This gives you access to profile building tools for the group, but also to creating your very own forums!
4. In some cases, you and your RP partner might even decide to use some other messenger or game to RP on.

By the by, you can use the "launch chat" button at the top and bottom of any forum topic, whether it's in a private group forum or our public RP forums, to turn your topic into a real time chat! There's also a link in the sidebar of private messages that will let you do the same.

This is a pretty big site with a lot of features and areas, so if you have questions or curiosities, there's a few ways to get help. You can always try typing your question into the search box, or you can check the help section. If you still need more help, the community here is very friendly. Always feel free to ask for help if you need it!

I'm sure it's a bit confusing at first to figure out all the fancy features of a new site, but we're here to make sure your first steps into RPR are easy and fun! Welcome to RPR, by the way. I'm Lucree, but call me Lotus or Light. It's really sweet to meet you!

All of what Kim said is basically how you can dive right into finding new RPs and making new friends! However, if you're stuck on making characters as well, this help page is great for learning how to create and edit your characters! Other than that, the Help Section in general is great for answering any more questions about how to use the site! If you're still stumped, just ask any of us for help and we'll be glad to show you in the right direction!

Welcome Loran! I hope the posts above were very helpful to you! I'd love to get to know you better after you've settled in.

Welcome to the RP Repository! Kim's given a great way to get things rolling. I'll just emphasize how helpful the account tutorial is to getting started with your account info, first character, and even how RPR works. Hope you enjoy your time here.
Cheers!
