Eeeeegh admittedly I am rather shy to asking on these kinds of things, but I do have some questions, moreso to roleplaying on Gaia than roleplaying in general.
For a bit of context on these questions, I've been rping and writing for a few years now, but have never looked too deeply into it on Gaia before, so I'm left with some general questions about it. I've looked into the various resources, but have so far been either unable to find answers at all, or the ones given are too vague for my own compulsive need to know details, eheh.
So I guess, rather than rambling on, I'll get straight to the point and list the questions I have? If anyone could answer them I'd be very grateful c:
Do people mostly bring one character into an rp, or do people bring multiple commonly?
The main reason I ask this is because I'm used to platforms that have people play multiple characters, and don't want to end up making a fool out of myself should it be different here. Another question, is whether people post separately or together for different characters.
I'm not sure what most of the acronyms used in titles mean?
The only ones I've really been able to identify are "o/a" and "o/f", the rest I'm unsure of one or both words.
While I have a general idea of what it likely means, can anyone clarify what exactly "lazy literate" means in terms of post length?
Is it just a more lenient literate, or is it more complicated than that?
Do people typically use small or normal font sizes?
I ask this primarily because I have trouble reading past a certain size(Said size being 11), and would like to know whether I should expect it from the get-go or only occasionally.
Do most roleplays use base character roles, or is it mostly free-reign over character creation save for position/title/etc?
Typically, I won't have much preference over either, but it would be nice to know regardless.
What is the average length/level of detail into most application forms from what you've seen?
Do they mostly include basic things(Such as name, age, personality, history, etc.), or do people like to include more detail into them(Such as likes, dislikes, fears, etc.)?
Regardless though, that's just about it for now on questions. Sorry if any of these sound stupid or obvious, I've literally never set foot into a Gaia roleplay before xDD
Anywho, guess I'd better go ahead and hit submit before my shyness convinces me against any of this, haha.
Thank you to anyone who can help me out here!
