ROLEPLAY DICTIONARY
Welcome to Purrgatory's ROLEPLAY DICTIONARY!
Roleplay can involve a bunch of lingo that you may or may not be familiar with. That's what this guide is for!
ADOPT
Existing character that other players can 'adopt' to play. May be anything from fully named, designed, and plotted, to a blank slate with a connection to another character (kit, relative, friend, mortal enemy...) Adopts will typically either be FCFS (first come first serve: first person to say 'i want it' get the spot, while stocks last) or require APPLICATIONS.
BACKWRITE
Using fluid time to set a post before a specific thread, event, or IRL time.
BUMP
Post in a thread so it returns to the top of the front page.
FCFS
First come first serve: adopt
HP/SHP
High position/semi-high position: leaders, deputies, medicine cats, medicine cat apprentices, and council members (the guards).
IC
In-character: within the roleplay.
ONESHOT
Typically a one-post thread meant for character development or musings that doesn't expect a response.
OOC
Out of character: outside the roleplay, player speaking.
OPEN
A thread anyone can respond to.
PAFP
Public after first post: a thread that remains private until one (or more) characters have replied to it, after which it becomes open.
PRIVATE
A thread between specific characters that others aren't meant to respond to.
STORAGE
OOC thread where people post whatever they want to have on hand and in one place: their posting templates, character bios/tags, coding experiments, etc.
