New User Hi role-players

I have scantly role-played in the past but would like to start getting into it again. I don't exactly know how this site works but will try to get acquainted with the ins and outs of it gradually.

THREE QUESTIONS I ASK THEE NEWCOMER!

1. WHAT GENRES DOES THOU ENJOY?
2. WHAT IS SO HOT IT'S COOL, YET SO COOL IT'S HOT?
3. WHAT IN THAT THING IN YOUR AVATAR?

And thankfully I've got this guide on stand-by to help people out with figuring out the site. :3

To find certain character bios you'd have to go the Character Depository within Out-of-Character > Character Depository.

And as for the Posting Process?

If you mean setting up for one, you first find an Interest Check which is where people are looking for people to join their RPs. You can find those in the Bulletin Board within:
Out-of-Character > Bulletin Board

Then when that's done usually the GM (Game Master) of the RP will set up an OOC (Out of character) forum and link to it. Which is where players discuss the RP and plan about it. You can find those within:
Out-of-Character > Out-of-Character Discussion

And then once everything is properly planned? Your GM will set up an In Character thread where the actual RP takes place, and likewise will usually link to it. Which you can find within:
Play-by-post > Select your Genre

If however you mean the workings of an RP itself? Basically it's you and another player writing a book, except instead of just going on and on by yourself you each control different characters, and you take turns respond to one another. So in an RP with just two players you'd make a post, they would make a post replying, and then you'd reply to them etc. If it's a Group RP it differs by group, but usually you either just wait for one other person to post OR wait for every player in the RP to post before replying.

Does that help?
 
I requested to have my account deleted (for personal reasons that do not reflect poorly on the ideal atmosphere STC has to offer interested RPGers) but I will answer your last question out of consideration and turn off notifications to my e-mail from STC after this.

My avatar is of a necklace and marble pendant of a nebula (is what I took it to be but it could be the night sky. Either way, it seemed magic adjacent which is why I chose it as my avatar.) This reply can clue you into one of the genres - my favorite one, at that - that I enjoy.
