Roleplay can either be in real life or on the internet but its basically where you make your own character and make up a setting and start going along with what your doing. It might not make a lot of since but when you rp online its different because you can do whatever you want and when you do things like for example : *takes a piece of paper and starts writing* you always put the stars ** so people will know what you are doing in the rp.

This would be how a rp is-

U-um hello *looks up at him blushing a lot*

Yes? *looks at her smiling*

T-theres something I've been wanting to tell you...for awhile now...I just never said it...*looks at the floor*

And what's that?

I-i really love you..*looks up at him looking in his eyes*

So something like that would be rp. But it doesn't have to be romance it can be anything like fantasy, comedy, romance, ecchi, any genre or it could just be a random one. But it also doesn't have to be a rp that you make up it can also be for something you really like. Say that you wanted to rp for Madoka magica you can pick a character you want get some people to rp with you and rp for that. It doesn't even have to be for just anime it could be for any fandom you like anything at all.
But when you rp in real life you can dress as the character and do all of the same things.

I hoped this helped at least alittle bit ehehe.
