Getting "in" Character

[Severus Snape]

So I don't often "talk" about Rping. Instead I just do. Yet some times people like to nose in to others worlds and see for themselves what their neighbors do.

Getting in to Character for me is like a whole ritual. I'll read their parts through, look at images and if possible watch them being played out. There's even a list where you answer to the best of your knowledge to flesh out your character.

Any body else go through all the same trouble?

I get whatcha mean but I don't usually get in to that kind of trouble. I usually talk more than a do. But on top of all of that, its all up to your character, your character might be a talkative chatterbox or a quiet mouse which talks only when she/he is in danger. But if your character is a talkative person but you can't somehow blend in what she/he does when your role-playing you could do something like.

"One triple scoop please," Elliott said as he stared at all of the delicious ice-cream flavors and started to regret just getting a triple scoop of chocolate.

You see the main conjunction there is as which is very use full. I use it a lot in my role playing text. I hope this helps somehow.

I'm too Neurotic for my own good.

It's even worse when I play OC's. I have to nearly write a book about them before I even attempt to put them in a game. It takes me forever just to get started. But I find it easier to work a story line. Say if we started and there wasn't one fix in mind. If I knew the character well I can just build some thing in there.
