I feel a similar way about RPs. Even though I'm still on my first RP, I've already learned a lot about RPing. (While it might be my first, I've still been doing it for quite a while. It's a long RP.) In The New Kingdoms, Karonor (Original Poster) gave a bit of a background to work off of, which helped a bit. Also, I joined late into the second chapter, so there was plenty of story for me to work with.

The thing with TNK, which is both good and bad, is that the users are aloud to really let their imagination run wild. This really helps build up a story that isn't a black and white, good vs evil story. It's so much of a grey middle that, depending on how you look at it, the 'villains' aren't really that bad, and the 'good guys' can be bad too. For example, one of the characters that was very likable, Arthur, and was an evil fighting Templar, has now turned into an overzealous mercenary that everyone regards as a terrible person.

The foundation of TNK even demonstrates that their is no one main good guy or protagonist, while everyone is either an antagonist to most, a nobody, or a deuteragonist. There are no heroes or saints. That's what makes it so terribly entertaining!
