When and where did you start rping?

Technically on a forum called Leafninja back when I was 16... A brief existence and start there in Rps, left after the powers that be abused power and made it a bad experience for me.

But I pretty much count Naruto.viz forum as my real start in Rps. It's dead now and I was terrible at it, but met quite few cool peeps back there. One who introduced me to this site and brought me here. 09-16 were the years I spent there though. A cool forum imo, rip.
 
A poptropica help forum back in like early 2000s. snorts It was more collaborative writing really, but I guess that's pretty much roleplaying. I was about 9 or 10.
 
Late 90s, Yahoo chatrooms and AIM.. ah good times... Rp'd mostly Animaniacs. We were pretty wacky and zany group. XD
 
I started in '10 on an app called Fantasy Hero. It has since been shut down, so I went to Kik for a while, stopped RPing for a year or so, and then came here.
 
Like 7 years ago ona page called gosupermodel. It closed down like 2 years ago. Sadly, and thankfully. If I'd see what shit I wrote back when I was 12, or even younger, I would probably change my identity and move out to Puerto Rico or something.
 
Roughly around 7 years ago. First on one of those random character chats and then on Wattpad of all places. In a way, my friends and I had been one of the first few people to start making roleplay popular on Wattpad, but it eventfully died down to my knowledge.​
 
Aol Random Chatrooms, quite a few years ago. There was definitely a lot of innocence and something naive to those old chatrooms and IM messenger windows.
 
I was about 12 or so, on a site called Chicken Smoothie. I remember my sisters and some of my friends would also create a bunch of Freewebs websites about Warrior cats to RP on. Those were the days...
 
I started forum roleplaying some 6 or 7 years ago, in a forum called "digimon forum roleplay". At the time I had no idea what anime was, but I had loved digimon since childhood and I wanted a place to talk about it and write about it and all my fan creations. That's when I stumbled across the idea of roleplaying which led me to find that site. I fell in love with it's rules and system where by posting more you gained points that then translated into things you could buy for your character and in your evolutions. Unlike RPN which is a host site to many individual roleplays, that forum was all one giant roleplay. Everything was connected and chronological, you simply submitted a character that was approved by the mods and you roleplayed. It was a really fun experience, but inner groups began forming which detached from the site and I was more often than not left out. At the time, my ability to adapt to different roleplay situations and my craft of characters were, as expected, less than stellar too, meaning that I could even alienate some solo partners, especially when I missed posts. Then i got self-conscious and was unable to keep going, each day that I was vanished making me more ashamed to go back. Even today I'm not even sure if the old place is at all still alive after all it's major members quit due to the insular communities.

After this site I went on to roleplay on deviantArt, with really bad results. It just was such a low bar in comparison, and so loose and often filled with people trying to get porn or to have me do all the work that I couldn't take it. I did make a friend there with whom i shared much and had great discussions with, but it overall was a bad roleplaying experience. I do still have an account where I occasionally post short-stories or go looking for art, hardly ever with success in finding what i wanted.

So I quit roleplaying for a while, but my drive to write and create with other people brought me back and I searched. I tried a couple more forums before I finally found RPN which has pratically been my home ever since. I did take some adventures without leaving RPN, visitng such sites as Guilty pleasures and f-list but I had bad timing and found chat roleplay wasn't for me.
 
On Gaia, when I was 14 or 15. I was on a dinky little art site called Fanart Central and saw one of the most popular artists/mods talking about some place called Gaia... So obviously I had to join and learn how to RP so I would be cool and popular.

It worked surprisingly well, if I do say so myself!
 
I started back on Quizilla. It died here a couple of years ago. Since then I moved with a lot of others to Deviantart and other forums that have were created because of it. And then I stumbled here~
 
on a game called dark legends where you play as a vampire and fight zombies, i won the game but quickly got bored of the limeted weapons options and went to rp sites
