The world is a very pretty place. Beauty sits above everything, with colors, lights, and magic everywhere. On top of this, human’s have created an even more perfect world, less beautiful, but more orderly. But this is all just one aspect of reality. When you get beyond the beauty, you see a savagery, a powerful and undeniable nature to the world which is still… attractive, but is not the simple perfection that we see all around us.

The werewolf is a creature of the inherent chaos in the world. It is a human, but one that has gone back, back beyond even the days of the caveman. The werewolf is an instinctual creature, one that runs with the pack simply because it feels right to do so.

This can lead to dangerous consequences. We can’t forget that in history, the werewolf is a monster, an enemy, a creature to be feared and killed. And yet we can understand them according to a different light. We can see within the idea of the werewolf, the idea of our own primal spirit.

We are animals, bound by our own sensibilities. Just beyond civilization is a mad crazy world of passion and power. This strange universe exists within each of us; it is our heritage, the nature that drives us on.

We can see this most clearly in art, which actually makes the werewolf an expression of the human condition. As people we are controlled in every situation. We have to restrain ourselves, hold on to the primitive passions which build up in us. Yet, this need has to be expressed. Art allows us to let the beast run free without having to worry about damage and trouble. It is catharsis for the beast within.

When you watch or read about these creatures, don’t merely accept them as evil. Instead understand the part of them that exists within you. Learn, grow, and become better, by using this cathartic agent, to allow your own spirit to roam the world, at least in this limited form.

This particular article was been written for http://www.RolePages.com – a werewolf role playing community where you can sign up as anything that you can imagine, and can participate in expansive multiplayer ongoing storylines.

The invention of social networking technology has given people new ways to communicate with one another. It is now common for pictures, videos, and in depth status updates to become part of the collective consciousness of their entire group of friends. While this is great for keeping up with people in the real world, it also provides a new medium for telling stories, battling fictional tales back and forth across the internet.

While most social networks are set up for real interactions, and actually frown upon role playing or fictional profiles, there are others such as http://www.RolePages.com that have been built and designed specifically to cater to these types of activities. Giving people a place to get their creative kicks.

The most common way people engage in this kind of storytelling is by assuming the role of fictional characters, either from books and media, or someone they made up themselves. They fill out their profile accordingly, uploading a picture of the character, and adding background information.

They then interact with other people, both real and imaginary. This is done most often through posting wall to wall, although sometimes pictures or videos can be used to fill out the story, making it a completely dimensional piece.

Often these interactions will also be supplemented by blogs, forums, and groups, which allow individual stories to be built, either one on one, or in a collaborative manner. Occasionally the site will also provide chat, or private messenger options, which will give the players the ability to act out scenes in real time.

The result is a creation which is looser, and more dynamic than a straight novel. It is an interactive piece, which is constantly growing and evolving; giving the players the chance to tell a story that will never end, with as many other people as they can get excited.

RolePages.com is a role playing social network that was developed to give people a place to interact, where they don’t have to be themselves. Player’s sign up for an account as a fictional character, then interact with other crazy mixed up creatures through a series of blogs, forums, chat rooms, pictures, videos, and groups. The article itself was written by Jim Slate.

Slate and Artstone – Role playing is the act of assuming an imaginary identity, along with others, in order to act out a story in real time. There are a wide variety of mediums that can be used to engage in these activities, ranging from real life costume play, to internet based interactive technologies. Roleplaying in a chat room is a unique experience because it provides the mental stimulus of writing a book, but in real time, with others participating in the writing of that book. In this way, it’s a truly improvisational act of creative acting, done in the form of characters on a screen, and visions in the mind.

With nothing but imagination and descriptions to work on, it can be difficult to imagine a scene, especially when action happens in real time, with other living people shooting ideas, actions, and story plot twists at you in real time. Engaging in this type of activity helps to increase your ability to think on your feet, while also teaching you to be a better writer, both in form, and in story creation.

The writing of a book is actually a very isolating experience. You have to work entirely on your own. Even when collaborating with another author, the actual writing is a singular process that can in extremes cut you off from external reality.

Chat roleplaying is a writing process that actually connects you with other people. It’s creative, without being isolating. It is actually an evolution of the old game, where a story is written one line at a time, each line being written by the next person in a circle. However in roleplaying through chat, you can actually assume the role of a character, allowing you to get emotionally invested in the story you are creating.

After the chat is over, a good roleplay site will provide a transcript of the action. This allows players, and those who were not present at the time, to read over the written actions of the characters who participated, much like reading a novel written by a variety of hands.

RolePages is the world’s first roleplaying chat room and social network. Designed much like other popular social networks, on RolePages you sign up for an account as a fictional character, creating a profile, and uploading pictures and videos to express who your character is.
