When you start a new RP it might be a good idea to place something like this before the RP starts these examples are based upon Warhammer Fantasy and 40K so if the names mean nothing to you then don't worry:
[RPtitle] Place your complete title here e.g. Night's of Doom
[Timezone] Place the Timezone here e.g. Warhammer Fantasy
[Goodguys] Place the name of the good races of your timezone, don't have to work (optional) e.g. Khorne, Dark Elves, Dwarfs
[Badguys] Place the name of the evil races of your timezone, don't have to work (optional) e.g. Orks, Empire, Undead
[Startingpoint] Place a short description of the place where the entire RP starts, players can split up after meeting but this doesn't mean no new players can be introduced e.g. Castle
[Rules] Here you set the rules, what can a character do and what not. Also you MUST tell when you start a thread, what the min. number of words is. (most people use 150). Al the post underneath this word count will be seen as spam, and there for warned.
This just simplifies it for other players who want to join.
Also when laying out a story line make sure you place new speech on a new line as it reads easier. Also note that it is possible to think but it is reccommended you dont use speech marks try to put it in Italics as it distinguishes it from the speech and the descriptive writing. other than that you are free to choose how you lay it out.
Here is a good thing to put on your first post in a RP (Inspired by Ben 152Cadian in s13.invisionfree.com/theimperium/index.php?showtopic=60 (external link)):
Character: Your character name e.g. Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Dolomite
Under Command: People whom your character has control over e.g. A retinue of one gun servitor, one psyker, one gunslinger and one assassin. Also a small detachment of 300 Omegum chapter marines
Equipment: Weapons, commlinks, armour etc. e.g. Shuriken pistol Blade of Judgement (I will explain later) and an array of incapacitating grenades
Alignment: Go on have a guess at this one, three choices these are: Good, Evil, Neutral.
Homeworld/Hometown: This depends on theRP timezone but it can have any name you wish e.g. Omegus Prime
After you have done this you could fill people in on your character's background with a short description.
You can also just post a link in the first post to your Character description thread on this forum.
