There are 4 roleplaying styles I know of, all of which I've seen at least once in my lifetime.
Script, Freestyle, Casual, & Advanced
Script:
Script roleplaying style is typically where your write you rp in script. This is normally done over messengers but sometimes people like doing it on boards.
Example:
Lola: (looks to damien) Are you sure you want to play with that? (tapping her foot on the ground)
--
Damien: (Cocks a brow) Yes, why wouldn't I? (Holding a weirdly designed sphere in his hand)
--
Lola: (shrugs) You're going to get hurt (shakes her head)
--
Damien: I don't care!
-------
Well, that's the best example of script I can give you.
------------
Freestyle:
Freestyle is typically done in the style of paragraphing though people tend to post 1 to 2 sentences at most and do a lot of one-liners.
Examples:
Misha looked over to Ella and smiled.
"I'm going to head to the store," She stated.
--
Ella nodded.
"Alright, please be home at six o'clock."
--
"I will be," Misha stated.
---
Simple enough right? A lot of roleplayers like to do this particular style more often than not.
-------------------
Casual:
Casual roleplaying is something I would have to say is my cup of tea.
Casual roleplaying ranges from 2 sentences normally to about 3 to 4 paragraphs dending how detailed someone gets. I can give you an example.
Example:
Elira looked towards the stars, tears streaking down her face at hearing the bad news. She didn't want to hear it but she knew that she had to hear it.
her daught had just died in a car accident not so long ago and that was exactly the news she was receiving from Elias.
"Why do you have to tell me this right now... I don't want to hear it," Elira stated, wiping away her tears.
--
Elias let out a soft sigh and moved towards her, taking her into a hug. He hated to see his best friend in tears and he knew the news of her daughter's death would bring her into tears.
"I'm sorry Elira, but... You needed to know, it's better sooner than later," He stated before gently kissing her cheek. The man had fallen in love with Elira but he had kept it secret for years. She was a married woman and frankly he didn't want to ruin her marriage, not yet anyways.
--
There, that's a good example of Casual roleplaying.
---------------------
Advanced:
Advanced roleplaying has at least a limit of 4 paragraphs or more. Unfortunately I don't do advanced roleplaying myself so an example is something I won't be able to provide.
From what I've seen though, people add a lot of detail and do long posts.
