Second Life is a virtual world where practicly anything is possible. with that possibility comes virtual role play.
In second life or sl as it is known, there are over 7,700 role play or rp groups. These groups range from role playing police and fire fighter, to adult rp's.
Many verious roles available to people on second life. Some groups are good others not so good. One such case for good rp groups is a section for pirate rp. There are a few "estates" for pirates in sl.
Emergency services groups are plenty. Seems like every other person on a city/town sim has their own emergency services group.
The good part about being in a role play group on second life is the community. You play as a group and certainly a way to make friends.
As a new player some groups will take you under their wing and teach you how to role play. The down side of that is, depending on the group it could cost you money buying so called toys to rp with.
Role play toys such as police cars, fire trucks, and pirate ships can get expensive if you buy the best ones. The down side to having your own police car or fire truck is if you don't run a group, some sims won't alow it. Most sims if you belong to their police or fire group they provide vehicles for you to use.ds.
Combat is another form of role play populer on second life. In order to make it close to real life, they use whats called health huds. The health huds or meters go down as you get shot or stabbed and can be either self healing or healed by a healing hud.
Second life combat can be compaired to some of the populer first person shooter games. For most weapons you have to go into first person in order to use them.
Another form of role play in second life, is what they call para rp. Para rp is basicly standing around dressed as your chairacter and typing in rounds with no actual action.
Even Ghostbusters and Star Wars has their own role play following. There are lightsabors and force huds that work. For ghostbusters they have rp proton packs and ghosts you rez out and actualy trap.
All in all Second Life you truely can do anything you want and that includes role playing anything you want.
