ICWF Handbook: Roleplaying Etc Basics
When you do a rp, you should include the following things:

1) A scene for your wrestler. Make your wrestler actually in a place, like a gym or their house. Dont just do text. Actions improve on roleplays and make them more intresting. Also, it adds to atmopshere.
2) Describe what your wrestler is wearing, what he looks like and what he is doing. This is similar to the scene but can be interpreted in other ways. This makes it so the handlers can invision what your wrestler looks like. By all means do detailed ones, but if it isn't important with the rp, keep it brief.
3) Keep your roleplays of a good length. No small roleplays as they will not count for much. The bare minimum would be 30 lines and the average would like to be 60 lines or more. If you have more than 2 wrestlers in the roleplay you would be expected to have alot more than 60 lines.
4) On the other hand, longer does not mean better. It means you have put more time in , but often with long rps people skip over them. SPECIALLY IF ALL YOU DO IS RUN YOUR MOUTH. Do not go over the same point over and over again as it bores handlers. That doesn't mean shitty 20 to 30 line rps then though.
5) Keep the roleplay interesting. This will appeal to other members of the federation and will increase the heat (replies) you get from other wrestlers. It makes it easier for you to get some action, therefore you will have more fun as people will be interested in your character.
6) Do not go over board with the swearing. Not that im one to talk, but it is not necessary. Some people cuss for the sake of it, which is not cool. Take Indestructable from LIWF for an example. He looks like an ass cussing like that. Dont end up like him please. It also shows that you can't use a good vocabulary and it gets boring.
7) An ending. Make your wrestler exit the scene, or the camera fades to black. Dont always make them hit the camera man though, that is not cool. Doesnt prove much at all.
8) Use proper spelling and punctuation. This is a plus. Now you may not be the best speller but try anyway. People lose alot of marks for poor spelling and are the victims of ridicule. Also it is easier for the presidents to read if the punctuation is good. They are the people who determine if you win or not.
9) Roleplays must be relevant to what is happening. If your in a fued... do not ignore it. Roleplay about what is going on. Do not roleplay about your person going off and killing alot of people. What does that have to do with wrestling? Also, NEVER pretend something never happened, or say it NEVER happened. Some prez's will job you on the spot for saying this.
10) Keep in character at all times. It is the wrestler speaking. Not you. This ranges from bitching about results, abusing other handlers and using terms such as "im being screwed", "roleplays" " i lost cause i didnt roleplay" and try not to use words like "jobber" and the like. Otherwords DONT BREAK KAYFABE.
11) Have fun with your roleplays. If you dont have anything good to say, dont say anything. Save it for another day. But dont get too relaxed, lack of rping ends up with jobbing or firing by the president. No one likes non active rpers.
12) Read the Do Not list for things you just dont do...
