You need story.

I'd suggest to all of the rookies... read as many roleplays as you can from the more established guys...

Develop stories around your character.... whether its shedding light on his past or detailing how he acts and reacts in everyday situations....

This is not a trash talk fed. Trash talk IS part of it, but the story is very important.

It won't necessarily be on overnight thing... Take my guy for example. It took me weeks to figure out exactly how I wanted to portray Sebastian Duke. I've seen some guys post stories in news and rumors then have there match RPs strictly trash talk... I've been there.... When I first came here thats what I did too... It took me a little bit to figure out exactly how I wanted to incorporate my story and my trash talk together...

First and foremost don't ever get discouraged. If you ever want help and advice many doors are open. This is one of the hardest feds to win in. You shouldn't get all wrapped up in wins and losses though. It should be about the writing. Like I've said about my own work, sometimes my story resonates with readers and sometimes it doesn't. Wins and losses though aren't important to me. I just like to think that if I lose, its because at least for that week, my opponent was a little better then I was.

I enjoy writing Sebastian Duke's story. On the other hand though, it might not be everyone cup of tea. The important thing though, is that I like it. Wins and losses be damned.

For the record, I hate words like "noob" or "newb"... I prefer "rook" or "rookie"
