RP
Also sometimes called Roleplay or Role Play, it means the art of playing a role - donning a life other than your own like an actor taking on a part. As a Role-player, you behave like that person, talk like them, even hold their world views within that world. Core roleplaying is sometimes known as RPI - Role Play Intensive, and in these situations your Out of world character (OOC) is totally ignored.
Relatively few people can carry out RPI to any real extent, but anyone can have a go, and once you start trying role play, many find it is really the most truly rewarding form of play.
The character you play through role play may be one of your own devising, or it may be a role assigned to you by the world.
