[You can add anything else to your promo description, or rearrange the order, or write it in a more charming way, these are just the basics that ppl want to know about you and your muse so it’s good to get this info out in the promo post!]

*I put this together finally bc I’ve received messages asking how to put these together, so I wanted to make a sample that explains good things to include in your RP promo post ;] This is far from complete, I may update it.

Also consult this handy RP Vocab list.

1. Graphic: I made a gif here bc I felt like it and have the skills. But if you can’t, you can just post a pic or gif of your FC (face claim) and that can be your photo. You can do a text-only promo post but I think these promo posts do better with some visual splash!

If you know how to include it, you can give as much info on the graphic as you like, but usually this is all you need (since you’ll provide more info in the text area):

• Muse name – My sample is Vladislav the Poker from What We Do in the Shadows
• A decent quote – can be canon or your own creation
• URL of your muse – I left it [url here]
• Independent (or Indie) RP – to indicate you are doing this independently of the copyright holder(s) of the character.

2. In the comments area, you can include your URL.

• Muse name again, and “Independent (or Indie) RP”

3. Age of mun (the “mundane” or human, who is writing the character) and muse (the character you are writing).

• If you are over 18, you can write “over 18″ rather than specify your age. Please be honest if you are under 18, because some people on this site cannot RP with minors, it may cost them their jobs. Especially people who work with minors, like teachers. Even if the RP thread is G-rated.
• Also, indicate if the other RPer must be 18+.

4. Types of RP your muse is open to.

• Multiship – your muse is open to more than one relationship going on in different threads.
• Exclusive – your muse is in an exclusive ship with another muse already.
• OC-Friendly – your muse is open to RP with Original Characters.
• AU-Friendly – your muse is open to RP Alternate Universe situations.
• Crossover-Friendly –  your muse is open to RP with Characters from other fandoms/media.
• Selectivity – How open is your muse to RPing with others? See the vocab link for definitions.

5.  Types of RP your muse is NOT open to – is there anything your muse will not RP?

• Examples: smut, violence/gore, drugs, etc.

6. Indicate how much canon you have read/watched, and if you will not RP certain time periods. Some people do not consider some books/movies in a series to be canon.

7. Indicate how much RP experience the mun has.
