Role-play is to me a fascinating concept, especially online role-playing.  In order to provide a bit of a demonstration throughout this website rather than just talk about it, I’ve called on one of my role-play personas to help with my explanations about role-playing.

Hiroto: Yo.

…Say a little more, so you’re not a complete stranger.

H: *sigh* Fine.  I’m from Japan.  Or this girl’s mind, whichever you’d like to go with.  Probably know even less about this role-playing thing than anyone who’d wander onto this site, and I still dunno what I’m getting in return for doing this.

You get the fun of being with me plus the chance to talk, to make up for the fact that I can’t play with you as much until this website is made.

H: Eh, sure, we can go with that.  So, enough with all this introducing about the topic and onto the first obvious question: what’s role-play?
